Hand Forged Gladius Blade For Sale
Posted: Thu Nov 10, 2005 11:58 am
I forged this blade a couple years ago and never got around to hilting it until this year. Well to make a long story short the hilt didn't turn out the way I wanted. So here is your chance to own a handforged blade. The blade is about 19 inches long and around 2 inches wide. It does have some distal taper. The edges are left dull so some kid wouldnt be cut by grabbing it at a public display. I have around 25 hours in this blade forging, and polishing by hand. There are some hammer marks still in the blade with some inclusions. To be honest I think this looks more authentic than a perfefctly polished blade on most repros. I am asking 125 shipped in CONUS Or Best Offer by Friday. PayPal preffered. Please note this is for the blade only, no hilt included.
