Railroad Spike Gladius Dagger

Awesome dagger!  Everyone that sees this absolutely loves it. And for the cost you could not make one.
Great job Atlanta cutlery

I am extremely impressed with the quality of workmanship in this dagger! Im learning how to forge railroad spikes into daggers on my home forge...I hope to recreate this piece of art someday myself. Also was impressed with the box and packaging comes with a nice leather sheath! Seriously can't say enough about how badass this blade is! Get one you won't be disappointed!

I had been looking for a dagger to use as a ritual athame when I came across this one. I figured for $20, I might as well try it out. First of all, it was shipped very quickly. I placed my order on Christmas and received it before New Year's. As for the dagger itself, it's hefty, but well balanced and fits very comfortably in my hand. If I were inclined to use it as a weapon, I would be very comfortable choosing this blade. And the price tag just can't be beat. I would highly recommend this dagger and company.

The dagger was delivered three days after ordering and packaged nicely. The overall quality seems just as described. I plan on honing the edges a bit but it is fairly sharp out of the box. Based on this experience I would order more products from this site.

I was not expecting too much with this knife... Wow, I was wrong to think that.  The weight, the quality and the overall look of this piece is in a word, amazing!

Nice

I bought this along with the "Railroad Spike Dagger" which I was extremely pleased with.  I'm unsure if my issues with the gladius dagger are representative of the product or just the one I received. The polish and grinding are incomplete on the back of the blade, the blade bends off about 15 degrees from center, and it is overall a clunky and unbalanced specimen. For the price, it's still a steal and a little effort cleaned up the cosmetic flaws. It'll make a nice gift as a display piece to hang on someone's wall, but not a utility piece.

No chance of this dagger breaking!!

Very nice, well balanced for the type of blade.  Great stabbing weapon, as the type is designed to be.  Reasonably sharp from factory, can be honed nicely.

For comfort, I wrapped the handle with leather thong, then oiled both the handle wrappings, and the included sheath.

I like this blade.
