The "gladius" in my photo is a Condor Combat Machete. It has a 13" blade of 3.5mm thick 420HC German steel. The handle is sanophrene. It cuts OK, but there are better machetes out there for less. I just thought it looked cool. It is lively in the hand. Only weighs about one lb. I like to stick it in trees.

Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.
