Here we have a sword shaped by the influence of the ancient world, combining the sturdy, practical form of the Roman Gladius with the graceful silhouette of a Greek blade. The hilt is fashioned from wood, brass, and faux ivory,materials often chosen in antiquity for their durability and aesthetic appeal, providing a firm grip and a touch of refinement. The leaf-shaped blade is forged from tempered 1085 high carbon steel, known for its ability to hold a sharp edge while maintaining enough flexibility to absorb impacts. Near the throat, an etched pattern echoes the kind of markings or inscriptions that ancient smiths might have added to personalize or identify their blades.
