I came across US Gladius while surfing the net.
Has anyone used these?
Are they worth the price?
I'm not exactly sure why those are pulling me in.

Thanks.
 
Well, I just bought a Thraex XII Tactical. We shall see.....

The only one I'd really be interested in would be the Arena XV: https://www.usgladius.com/arena-xv/. I like that it's plain edge instead of partially serrated, and made of 440C instead of 8Cr. Of course, price will probably be substantially more than the others. I actually wouldn't even mind the 8Cr models if they came out with a plain edge one. :thumbup:
 
Personally...
I'd wait until the infatuation on this one has subsided John.
Pick one up on fleabay in a few months.
Let the depreciation fall upon someone else and grab it for 50 cents on the dollar.
The heart wants what the heart wants I guess....but didn't I just send you a great big honking slab of a knife in N690?:confused:

Apart from the guard on the Arena, that doesnt look half bad.

This latched on sentence struck me as funny though:

" A must for any Bowie knife collector."
 
I hope this isn't one I wake up next to and say, "What the hell was I thinking".
Stripping it might be first on my list of things to do. All buffed and pretty might make this knife a real winner. Plus, they are cheap enough you won't be affraid to beat the snot out of it!!

@Barman1- i think these are way different than my sexy n690 beast! That Italian babe has one of the nicest handles I have ever felt on a big knife.

What a strange company. No phone number listed to call. I hope my order went through!
 
I don't know anything about the knives but they look ultra freakin' cool! If a Canadian knife seller ever brings them in I'm getting one no questions asked.
 
There was an article on these a while back in Tactical Knives. Not interested myself. Might be cool to buy a bunch to arm a bunch of Chimpanzees dressed up as Roman Legionnaires.
 
All I ask is for a "real" knife to show up at my door. I hope it isn't a half ass attempt that looks like a Gladius.
I will give my honest opinion when it arrives!! :D

Are you not entertained?
 
I was hoping today would be the day, but no, sir. Tomorrow?

Everything that arrived in the package. Knife, free t-shirt, free decal, and a booklet.

For some reason the look of these has grown on me in the last few days, serrations and all. :confused: I'm looking forward to a review too. :thumbup:
