Gladius

[Chuddy Bear]

I finally scored a Gladius!!! This has been my Grail Busse knife since I heard of it coming out. I saw a picture of a Gladius in Blade magazine last year and I thought to myself...I wish Busse would make one. Well after a long wait and some begging (Thanks Trevor), I finally have one of my own. I just finished a sheath for it and stamped it with "SPQR" which in latin means Senatus Populusque Romanus (the Senate and the people of Rome). Which I thought appropraite for this blade given its heritage.

The best part is that Trevor has already beaten this thing against a steel drum...see his vids. I have no fear about abusing this thing.

Just kidding about the begging part, Trevor was great to deal with.

[OldPhysics]

Well, now you're going to need to make yourself a lorica.

Then a good, sturdy pilum.

Maybe a standard.

At that that point, he'll be back here trying to find some recruits to fill out his legion.:grumpy:

I don't think Jerry realizes what he's started here.

I'll tell you...i often take the blk dangler you made me for the SFNOs....and try to see which one of my SFNOs look best in it
