Gladius Polypropylene Training Sword 92BKGMZ
$89.00
Martial Artists have known a simple truth for ages: If your ultimate goal is to wield a sharp blade safely and effectively, you need to supplement your training with a tool that approximates the size, feel and heft of a blade, yet minimizes the possibility of causing grievous, permanent injury to yourself or your training partner. This concept was implemented by many cultures, including the ancient Romans, who used wooden swords to train their gladiators. The only problem was that wooden training tools can rot, crack, chip or splinter and could not be used in all weather conditions.
Cold Steel’s solution to these dilemmas was to design a line of synthetic polymer substitutes. Low in cost and unaffected by all but the most extreme temperatures, they are waterproof, weatherproof and astonishingly durable.
This tough polypropylene Galdius Trainer is an ideal practical sword for re-enactors of the Roman period.

Wakizashi Bokken Training Sword Polypropylene 21″ Blade 92BKKB

Cold Steel
Our improved Japanese Training Swords are closely modeled after our world-famous Warrior series swords. Featuring an intricately detailed imitation cord wrap grip – molded in high impact polypropylene – they offer superior grip and comfort as well as more realistic training potential for the modern Martial Artist.
Hundreds of years ago, the Japanese discovered a simple truth; that to become a good swordsman you’ll have to practice, a great deal. To become a great swordsman you’ll have to practice with a “live blade”. And during the period between “good” and “great”, you should spend your time building your skills and confidence enough to wield a razor sharp Katana safely and effectively.
To accomplish this, the Japanese relied on a simple wooden sword called a “bokken” for much of their training. It was made from the super tough wood of the Japanese White Oak, a wood they called Kashi. The swords produced from this wood had the advantage of replicating the size, weight and feel of a steel sword, while minimizing the possibility of causing grievous or permanent injury to those who used it.
Authentic Kashi wood Bokkens are still used today, but are becoming quite costly. They also have the disadvantages, being made of wood, that they may rot, crack split or splinter. Cold Steel’s solution to these dilemmas was to design a synthetic substitute, low in price and impervious to the elements.
The Wakazashi Bokken made of the heaviest grade polypropylene available and closely duplicate a real Wakazashi in length, size, weight and feel. While it is not quite as rigid as wood, it has the advantages of being virtually unbreakable and remarkably stiff and cut resistant.
