Description
This stunning sapphire blade is cast in the ancient style of the gladius paying homage to those fierce warriors of another time. The shank is struck through with titanium inclusions lending a hypnotically deep azure hue to the weapon. The blade’s surface features one powerful ridge running either side of its length adding both strength and beauty. The sapphire itself is synthetically formed from a large crystal boule and laser-cut to the desired specifications. It is then set into a hilt of rare Mandalorian iron which is wrapped in Firaxan shark skin over knurled ridges. The large, round pommel counterweights the marvelously simple weapon and is engraved on the bottom by two simple words in Sith runes: "In Darkness".
