Designed as a prop for role-playing games, the gladius has been designed based on several exotic weapons. It features many different functions and requires a lot of training to be mastered.

Usually carried in once back, hilt down with the grip just above belt level, it can be readied very fast.

Cords can be attached to the three rings, with weights or smaller blades at the opposite end. These cords can be used to either swing the weights or hurl the gladius pommel or guard at an opponent.
