Busse Combat Gladius. . . . . . (Sneak Peek)

Gorgeous. Absolutely beautiful.

It seems to have a longer blade and handle than traditional Gladius. I like it. :D

Had Busse Combat been around a couple of thousand years ago, this is what the Roman Gladius would have looked like. . . . . and our warranty would still be in effect!!!! :thumbup:

AMAZING looking blade and seems to be equal in quality...HOWEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! really...15 inch blade? almost useless unless you are a hobbit lol.....thats a pin pricker....persay you WERE in combat...u'd have your arm removed or throat cut on first thrust.....waaaaaaaaay to short. im 6'3" and 220lbs body builder....this would just look silly unless i was 5'5" and 140LBs soaking wet.... too bad...i REALLY wanted to buy this :P ....hence the ONLY pictures of this blade are NOT in human hands to show you proportional perspectives......buyers beware!

Really? I smell a troll. Take a look here :

Pompeii (or Pompeianus or Pompei): Named by modern historians after the Roman town of Pompeii, this Gladius was by far the most popular one. Four instances of the sword type were found in Pompeii, with others turning up elsewhere. The sword has parallel cutting edges and a triangular tip. This is the shortest of the gladii. Observe that it is often confused with the spatha which was a longer, slashing weapon used by the auxilia from horseback. Over the years the pompei got longer, these later versions are referred to as semi-spathas. Blade length ~45–50 cm (17.7 to 19.7 inches). Sword length ~60–65 cm (23.6 to 25.6 inches). Blade width ~5 cm (1.97 inches). Sword weight ~700g/1.5 pounds (wooden hilt). (Realistic replica 1), (Realistic replica 2)

Notice specs of gladius is 16" blade and 23" OAL which is very close to the specs above. I took it from here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gladius

EDit: Also, do you not see the picture in hand above that you reposted?


I would suggest you go read the rules of Bladeforums, and the rules posted on every forum page prior to posting your hostility and negativity in any other forums cause they all have their own rules. Poster - BEWARE!

Be thankful this isnt Sparta and the infraction you received will expire. Do not head my warnings and I will run you through with my GLADIUS and turn you into shark food ( which if you arent aware - means you get BANNED)

Something tells me ANYTHING would look silly on you or within a 5 mile radius of you... like a black hole of general stupidity.

Had a gladius. Found it to be PLENTY long for it's designed purpose. Didn't love the type of blade as much as i expected, so i sold it, but the trollish quality of that post is undeniable.

For anyone who likes a gladius type blade, the busse version is excellent.
 
I loose interest just as soon as someone tells me they are a "body builder" .... (<---- please do understand the self control it took fo me not to insert a "jerkit" smiley here ;) ).
 
The only thing I have that comes close is the CS machete that is shaped like one. I really like it, but it's a one hander. The Busse looks like you could use a hand and a half on it. For those of you that have one, where is the balance point? Now I'm interested....

The jerkit would be well placed here although it wouldn't be worth wasting an infraction on a trolling d-bag like this guy.

That jackass needs to goggle "ROMAN CENTURIAN" and then maybe he could ponder the efficacy of the Gladius .
 
Please refrain from insulting other BF.com members...even members that may have earned them in a single post.
