How does this compare to the cold steel gladius?

UC Combat Commander: 1060 Carbon Steel CS Gladius Machete: 1055 Carbon Steel UC forging/heat treating methods: 3.5/5 CS forging/heat treating methods: 4.5/5 Neither is particularly better. UC used steel with .05% more carbon content, however both are high carbon sword steels. Cold Steel uses state-of-the-art forging and heat treating methods, though to be honest both of these two machetes are probably made in the same factory in China/Taiwan. Choose one purely based on aesthetics. They will perform the same.

Is this sword good for combat situations? Is it durable against other swords? If attacked by a bear, will I be able to win against it with this?

Thats a question that has no yes or no answer. If put against a sword of equal steel or in about the same price range itd be fine. But I'd put money that a cold steel brand katana or anything up from there quality wise would break this like a cheap toy. When i got mine i was still rather uneducated in quality craftsmanship but looking back i remember the blade on this being pretty thin and the grinds were horribly uneven on both sides. So if you got the money i would suggest looking for a better brand, but beware even cold steels gladius is pretty sub par, a good brand to look at would be hanwei. As far as a bear goes thats more up to skill and luck, this sword could more than likely hold up to slicing through tissue but would probably roll edge on the bone , for bears id say just use a dessert eagle and save the blades for there young. If you meant the "hairless" type of bear, this and basically any thing with a edge would be sufficient, it doesn't take too much as the skin of those foul creatures is very fragile to edges😉

does this NOW come with a sheath?

Yes it does, not a great one but yes.

How thick is the blade?

About as thick as a machete blade.
