to train their Gladiators and soldiers. And Japanese Samurai used a wooden
training sword that was called a Bokken. It's an elegant solution to a vexing
problem and effective enough to still be used today. The only problem is that
a wooden sword can rot, crack, chip or splinter and eventually become useless.
Cold Steel's solution to these dilemmas was to design a synthetic substitute,
low in price and impervious to the elements. The Cold Steel line of Training
Swords are made of heaviest grade polypropylene available and closely duplicate
a real sword in length, size, weight and feel. While they're not quite as rigid
as wood, they have the winning advantages of being virtually unbreakable,
remarkably stiff and cut resistant.
The Galdius Trainer is a perfect pratical sword for re-enactors of the Roman
period.
