Gladiator Dagger With Bone Hilt
Gladiators were determined to fight a very brutal close combat in the arenas of the Roman Empire. A popular weapon was a short stabbing sword or a dagger. 
This Gladiator Dagger is a replica of a Roman Gladiator weapon found during the excavations in Pompeii, which was destroyed by the eruption of the Vesuvius in the year AD 79. 
The dagger has a hand carved bone handle. The blade is forged from carbon steel and factory blunt thus perfect for home display, reenactment use on stage and in the battle-field. Gladiator weapons were carried into the arena without a scabbard therefore this dagger is supplied without a scabbard. As the hilt is made of natural bone, small cracks in the hilt are naturally common. Such small blemishes are authentic as well as characteristic and do not diminish quality nor structural integrity of the hilts.
