Spartacus - Curved Sword

Spartacus, the hero in the TV series of the same name, has two favourite weapons: the matched curved swords that perfectly match his agility and fighting style.

Our Spartacus Curved Sword is a hybrid edged weapon, but that doesn't mean that a sword like this could not have really existed. The rounded, oval hand guard and ball-shaped, riveted pommel are both signs that the hilt with metal inlay is a close relative of the Roman gladius. The grip is tightly wrapped with leather strips for improved holding power. The lozenge-shaped blade cross section has a circumference of 6.2 cm just below the hilt and tapers to 5.2 cm at the sharp edge. The blade begins to curve 26 cm above the point, which makes it a combination gladius/sabre/curved sword and allows spectacular moves in the arena.
