It all depends on what your wanting it for. If your just using it as a accessory for a cosplay costume or to have it on display its more than adequate. If your wanting a real sword with a honed blade, than no its not.

It is over a yard long, total, including hilt. The hilt is two handed and 8 inches long. The blade is perhaps four feet long and 6-7 inches or more at the widest point. Its a big sword and only half tang and blunted. It woukd do some damage if swung at someone. It is also heavy especially towards the end of the blade. It wacks against stuff pretty bad if worn at the hip and hangs to the ground. Its a beautiful addition to any collection. But if you want to use it as a costume piece, strap it to your back.

Good question. I wish I had thought about that before I bought it. The handle itself is just over 6" long. It is a little longer then a standard length Gladius, but WAY too short to support the weight of this sword. Because the blade is at least double the normal length, both hands are needed to do anything with it. The blade is steel (and can take an edge), but the rest is plastic, etc. The sword is "OK" for the price, but any good for hanging on the wall. I hope this helps.Dan

This particular sword comes UNSHARPENED, and is a REPLICA meant for DISPLAY or a COSTUME ACCESSORY ONLY!! It is NOT made to be sharpened. You will pay much more for one that is/can be sharp! Go to Whetstone Cutlery website for more information!

They delete the bad comments, the sword is a piece of junk. They sold me one that looked nothing like the picture.

J.- My sword is a curved bone sword that's 34", I had the same question, thinking would it be okay for curved, it should be fine for straight.

No offense taken. Yeah, it's action figures with weapons....The detail is amazing and I have collected a lot of these figure and was never disappointed. I plan on collecting more of them. It's only a waste of money if you are really not that into collecting them. but that's just my opinion.

The wood seems to be bamboo not really sturdy it wood break I am sure if you hit someone with the sheath but for holding the sword its fine.I cant say what type of steel it is it looks to be two types as it has a nice blend looking pattern where the edge is one metal and the back of the blade is another.It does hold an edge well it seems my son sharpened it and its scary sharp cut my thumb just checking it.Now is it a real fighting sword no I am sure it wouldn't hold up but it does look nice for the price and would be a nice present for a amateur collector.Do note its super bright red scabbard not wood color like he picture seems.

Im not sure on the exact measurements but it looks almost exactly the same at the real Maximus sword. I am sure there are better quality Maximus swords out there but for the price you pay this is pretty nice. If you want it to look more authentic then I would rough up the sheath and strap, or maybe just re-wrap the sheath with real leather and glue it to the existing sheath. If you need the exact measurements then I can try getting that for you before May.

The hilt is 11 1/2 inches long, there is a leather covered area above the hilt / crossbar that measures 11 1/2 inches long, from that point to the metal tip of the actual blade its 27 1/2 inches long, making the overall length of the sword is about 50 1/2 inches long. I have owned this sword for several years and its still in excellent shape.

That depends on how it is used. This replica is made mostly for display. If you toy with it and swing it gently or use it for non-contact practice, you should not have a problem. The sword is well made but delicate. If you go around reclessly hitting it with other swords and other solid objects(yes including hard wood) you're gonna have a bad time.

I answered because someone asked me. It's only polite (a concept you seem to be unaware of). Who are you anyway... the Internet Police?? Get a life! I never even saw this product so I answered truthfully. As it turns out, if the person that asked me how long they are would have actually READ the description... they would have known they were 11" long. Why didn't YOU tell them?!?!?!?!?!? On the other hand... you could take your name and "stick it" since you seem to have a great deal of free time!

The Gladius is considered a "short sword" it si not to be mistaken for a midevil long sword. The blade is about 22 inches give or take. The sword as a whole is about 29 inches (31 with the hilt). Its is a bit heavy and takes time getting used to. this tye of sword is not designed for dueling. It was customaruily used with a shield. if your looking for a dueling sword go witha rapier Epee or midevil longsword. But if your looking for a nice Wall hanger or Role play sword this Should be a great bet. Over all I found this to be a wonderful sword and It makes a great addition to my wall.I should add the blade is about 2 to 3 inches thick at its widest point The Gladius is considered a "short sword" it si not to be mistaken for a midevil long sword.
