Reapr 11019

I’ve use this in some yardwork and overall it’s a very good hack and slash tool. Well-made steel, very strong and the grip is good.

this sword is to me like a big knife, but not heavy and awkward like the bowie that i have and never use. this sword is balanced and light enough to swing without feeling like your going to lose it ! its menacing and tough looking. the sheath is basic but ok, i feel like i should make a leather sheath for it though. what a great price for such an awesome weapon. harry

The sword is well-built. Thick and strong. Handle feels tough. However, I rated it a 4 starts - due to the cheap sheath. I can't imagine this will hold up well over time and I'll be making my own leather scabbard.

Solid, join the legions! Has accompanied me on many Boy Scout adventures. Love it. Like the feel, like the heft, edge holds up despite punishment.

AT FIRST GLANCE, SEEMS LIKE A SHORT STURDY GLADIUS...COLLECTORS, IT'S SO MUCH MORE. THEY(REAPR) USED THE SAME GRIP AS IS ON ONE OF THEIR LARGER GLADIUS MODELS AND IT MAKES THIS THING IMPOSSIBLE TO DROP. SAWBACK SPINE TO A DROP-POINT TIP. BLADE RETURNS TO A NASTY SERRATION. THIS IS A TOOL AND A WEAPON AND FOR THE MONEY...A MUST FOR ALL COLLECTORS OF THIS SORT OF BLADE. BTW, ARRIVED IN WHAT SEEMED LIKE OVERNITE DELIVERY...COOL.

Hermosa. Tal cual la descripción y mucho antes de lo previsto.

This sword is very well balanced and feels great in the hand. It also holds an edge pretty well. I will say that it comes EXTREMELY SHARP, so use with caution. For the price, this an amazing sword. I wish the dimensions were historically accurate to the original gladius, but that is my only complaint.

looks great, weight feels good.

This is an awesome blade, absolutely love it! Came very sharp, has decent weight to it and still feels good to maneuver. My only issues are with the paint on the blade was all scuffed up, but not a big deal at all. The sheath could be better quality, the stitching has already started to come apart. Other than that freakin awesome, luv it! I'll buy a second just cause.

Bue tamaño y diseño perobel acabado de la hoja muy deficiente, en mi caso parece que se está despuntando.

Very cool fool around garden tool. Wouldn't recommend cutting trees but small branches and delimbing tiny trees it's good. Maybe in a TWD scenario it'll be okay. 🤔

The Good 👌 - The blade came sharp out the box for me 📦 - Handle is grippy, nice rubberized grip 👊 - Like an upgraded version of a bowie knife 🔪 The Bad 👎 - ...idk 🤷 - I've used it to chop away backyard overgrowth, not much of a survivalist stress-test. - for all I know the metal could be low quality and shatter like glass. Doesn't FEEL likely but ya never can tell.... 🤨 - Oh! Idk if it's full tang. Feels like it though, but the only way to TRULY TELL is if you carve up the handle and ruin the dang thing. I like it so far, not willing to do so!

Overall it’s effective, it’s light enough to not wear ya out quick and heavy eanough that you don’t have to use a lot of force. I use it for trimming pine branches and other small trees for bush shelters or fires typically I’d use an axe or hatchet. Which are still useful for other reasons but limbing is easier. Just pay attention to the length and your surroundings as the tip is (it’s nice don’t get me wrong) excessively sharp. Haven’t had the courage to chop it into anything hard so I’m not sure about durability…product is great Amazon though. They are dinks. They’re lucky I can’t review their services for email/product in the mail. Made me wait longer just to tell me as it’s an hour away from me that it’s undeliverable product damaged. (Which is fine) Then Amazon tells me they will send me a refund in 3-5 business days ( also fine ). So since I have the money and it’s only 2 day shipping. I figured I’d reorder it. Well day and a half goes by and it arrives. The next day. The second arrives. after telling me it’s being sent back and a refund is on the way, I ordered another expecting the refund for the first, instead they repackaged it and resent it cause the box was damaged not the product and there was no heads up, I’m ok with having two cause it’s not a serious waste of money but honestly, that type of decision making and communication was what cost me the extra money. Not that they care. But it’s irritating, ya know
