Might be a silly question.

Also can anyone tell by the pic's, the approx length of the blade?
 
I only asked, due to some states arn't keen on double edge blades, and from one of the photo's only one side looks sharpend.

That is PRECISELY why in my blade design suggestion I said you didn't have to sharpen both sides, but instead could false edge or dull one side. That and safety concerns -- I have a bark river Clax which I ADORE but I'm going to be honest, every time I take it out of the sheath my heart beats a touch faster. It's bigger than the dogfather and it's double sided razor sharp steel. It's not for the faint of heart (or for several states, as you pointed out).
 
I can see the secondary bevel in every pic. Not sharpening the false edge could be an ordering possibility. I still don't think that would be enough for most of Europe nor Australia.

State laws regarding double edge blades are for daggers. Not a gladius!

Well.......



Trust me if a nice police man finds you using the gladius for anything illegal...or in you car while you are doing anything illegal....or on a search of your person for any thing illegal...TRUST me they will present it to the grand jury as a Double Edged Dagger.....



NOW if you wish to throw away the price of a new busse to pay for a lawyer...to try to argue semantics let me know. (I will defend ya...but I want my blade price up front cause you going away for awhile...depending on which knife scared state you live in.)



Prosecutes will use anything they can to try to get a conviction.



Not trying to start a fight....living in a state where carrying anything but the smallest of a pen knife can get you time makes me a touch pissy about knife laws....THEY SUCK!



DRINKy DRINK TIME!
 
Well if a double edged knife is ILLEGAL in the state that you live in, its time to move. LOL
