Scimitar Engraved Sword

Wooden Scimitar designed for the CJTF, Combined Joint Task Force.

A Rudis (personalized wood sword) was a gift to a gladiator for a special achievement. This signified his release from a slave to a freeman. Our Rudis is an excellent and unique give for someone who has completed service in the military, retired, or completed an academic achievement.

• We can engrave a corporate logo, military insignia, and/or text in a variety of fonts. Email instructions to: [email protected] and include order number.

If we do not have the image on file, a one-time setup fee may be required. The cost will vary based upon complexity of the image. You will be told which graphic fee to choose if you send a logo for approval before ordering, otherwise choose 'no graphics fee'

Color
One, hand-painted color can be added for an additional $15 minimum charge. Multiple colors may be added on a case-by-case basis. Please contact us to discuss.

Darken Upgrade:
Standard engraving is very nice, but the darken can really enhance the *POP* of the sword.
