Some of these pieces need a bit of work (like the thrusting tip and tape on the gladius, and handle carving on the 17), but I wanted to go ahead and snap pictures while my wife is letting me use her camera and computer. :)

Baron Eirik came through this morning on his way to Border Raids and bought everything I had in stock (including a couple items that he didn't initially order). I'm still taking custom orders, but nothing is currently ready for immediate shipping.

Eirik, do you have anything with a taper (no fuller) at around 43"?

I believe he only has one or two short finished pieces that are not listed here, but I've sent him an email to check this thread to make sure.

Of course, I can carve a piece of almost any length if you want to go to foxknife.com and put in an order.

I'll check and measure and reply back tonight (I hope). I spent the weekend in Chicago doing something totally non-SCA, rattan, or medieval related with my wife.

Thomas, those gladii look incredibly sick.

I'd LOVE to do dimachaerus with those.
