Scipio | Dawson Select Steel | Double-Edged Sword | Arizona Ironwood

Evoking the valor of Scipio Africanus, conqueror of Carthage, the Scipio embodies the disciplined strength of Rome’s finest warriors. Handcrafted in the USA, this heirloom masterpiece features a leaf-shaped gladius-style blade, swelling gracefully at the center for powerful, balanced cuts and lethal thrusts—the hallmark of Roman close combat mastery. Forged from high-contrast CPM-3V Damascus steel by Vegas Forge, it gleams with ancient artistry. A heat-anodized Titanium Damascus guard shimmers in bronze and peacock-blue tones, while polished Arizona Ironwood and genuine leather wrapping unite classical form with modern American excellence—an enduring symbol of strength, honor, and conquest.
