Dude. You have to tell me how you made the pommel and hilt for the gladius. I've been trying to make one for awhile now.

Didn't realize you made them to sell when I wrote that. Thought it was just a project you'd been working on for fun. That's fine though I'll go look up another way then.

How long is the gladius, how's its balance as a sword, also how does it weigh altogether?
