Gladiator's dagger with bone handle

Roman gladiators were destined 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 suited for stabbing.
This gladiator's dagger is a 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 layer of ash 4 to 6 meters thick. Today, it is an Eldorado for archaeologists. The dagger has a highly detailed, handmade bone handle. The blade is forged from carbon steel. It is unsharpened and therefore perfect for collectors and for battle reenactments. There is no sheath available, as gladiatorial weapons were carried into the arena. Since the handle is made of naturally grown animal bone, small cracks may occur in the material, which is completely normal. These small flaws appear authentic, natural, and unique at the same time and do not reduce the quality or strength of the handle.
