I was just looking through the Cold Steel website and saw these two new (inexpensive) fun items.
http://www.coldsteel.com/gladius-trainer.html
http://www.coldsteel.com/gladius-machete.html
I own a CS Bowie machete and it has proven to be quite a workhorse.I look forward to trying the gladius version.

Thanks for the link. I looked at it and it looks like a great back country utility tool and tactical backup, and the price is great. Obviously it's not a true sword but for certain practical uses it's probably quite serviceable. It's now on my short list. I hope Ryan at KoA will carry it since the price would probably be even lower than CS's MSRP (Big hint there, Ryan).

A gladius MACHETE !?! AWESOME! My plants are cowering already.
