Historical, or modern? Not sure who's making a functional historical gladius, but Condor has a more modernized one they call their "combat machete"

Obviously the one I'm talking about is the one on the top.

If you go to Swordforums in the Beginner's section, there is a good thread on Gladius type swords and so on. Hope this helps!

Awhile go,I bought a Cold Steel : Fight Machete Dvd in it lynn has some wonderful mods that can be done by a person who has a belt grinder.One of the projects that I found rather interesting was how a diamond shaped grind on the double edge machete's tip made it look very much like a roman sword.

FortyTwoBlades; normally I'm a fan of traditional materials, but that is a sick modern adaptation of a gladius. Thanks.

Swordsmith Mark Morrow makes an awesome Gladius. Check him out.

the hanwei gladius is forged and seems usable to me, my friends love handling it and it comes fairly sharp.

Here's one to consider:

Agreed, I think I need to get one of those for a truck knife. It's got like a 13" blade which would be great for close quarters.

I just got a Windlass Steelcraft Pompeii pattern. I had it sent to a friend/ knife maker and he sharpened it up. Nice piece for the price!

There are several good places. Sword of Honor, Windlass, Arms of Valour, Real Armor of God, etc.
