The Maker
Deepeeka
Deepeeka creates an astonishing variety of replica weapons, armor, and re-enactment accessories that range from Classical Antiquity to the 20th Century. Deepeeka has been crafting replicas since the 1980s and their products are essential gear for many re-enactment groups. Many swords, daggers and other weapons made by Deepeeka are durably crafted and budget-friendly offerings. The steel is good and well-tempered and their leathercraft and woodworking are of excellent quality. Deepeeka’s products are handcrafted and (in the case of blades, hand-hammered) are a good deal for those who want a quality item at a good price.
Kult of Athena is the US distributor for Deepeeka products and we offer the largest in-stock selection you will find and we will beat any price you can find. If you are searching for a particular item or find a Deepeeka item listed elsewhere that is not seen on our site let us know and if it is available we can source it for you at a better price than seen elsewhere.
Often paired together
First off, much better than I’d typically expect from Deepeeka. I’ve got a couple other Deepeeka blades, and this one is more on par with many I own for twice the price. There aren’t any major warps or wiggles to the blade, there isn’t any significant gapping anywhere on the blade’s construction or the scabbard, and nothing rattles. That being said, I do have a few qualms with it.
First off, the photos of it all show a small piece of metal at the top of the guard, as is (somewhat) the case in historical examples. The one I received, however, doesn’t have the metal cap, but instead a piece of felt. That’s rather disappointing, especially because I lack the means to make something fit onto the top of the guard properly.
Second, the grip is a bit too long. The hand is just supposed to fit in there, and there’s plenty of excess room- and I’m someone with rather large hands.
Third, which may actually be a plus for some, is that it came very sharp. I didn’t order the sharpening service, and didn’t expect something from Deepeeka to come sharp at all, let alone as sharp as it was.
Things that are neither pros nor cons: it’s a very front-heavy blade, due to the grip, pommel, and guard being almost entirely wood. That’s to be expected from a blade like this, though. It’s not unwieldy, but it’s not something that’s going to be a weapon of finesse. It’s longer than many would expect from a gladius, but it seems to be modeled after the older Hispaniensis type, which WAS longer than the more famous Maintz and Pompeii-type gladii. It’s not a PERFECT recplica of a Hispaniensis, but it’s not too bad.
Overall, I’m happy with my buy.
