Gladiator dagger with bone handle

Roman gladiators were meant to engage in very brutal hand-to-hand combat in the arenas of the Roman Empire. Therefore, a popular weapon was a short sword or dagger suitable for stabbing.< br>
This gladiator dagger is a very beautiful replica of a weapon discovered during excavations in Pompeii. The city of Pompeii was largely destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD and buried under a 4-6 meter thick layer of ash. Today it is an Eldorado for archaeologists. The dagger has a highly detailed, hand-made bone handle. The blade is forged from carbon steel. It is not sharpened and is therefore perfect for collectors and for battle reenactments. There is no sheath available, as gladiator weapons were carried into the arena. Since the handle is made of naturally grown animal bone, small cracks in the material are possible, which is completely normal. These small flaws look authentic, natural and unique at the same time and do not reduce the quality or strength of the handle.
