Joe Piela Gladius for Sale

This blade was made by Joe Piela of Lonely Mountain Forge. Joe is now currently charging near 500 USD for this pattern of gladius. The grip is made from European walnut, and bone. The guard has a nice bronze inlayed plate.

The blade is hand forged from high carbon spring steel with a nice temper. All egdes are blunt for reenacting, but would take a nice edge I am sure.

I am asking 225 for the gladius alone, or 350 for it with the scabbard.

The scabbard was made by Len Morgan
