So I was thinking, and that can be scary, about how cool a Single edge Gladius would be. Keep the thickness the same and raise the fuller up closer to the spine and deepen it to help with weight. Maybe a light brigade treatment on the handles, add a Shallow Hollow grind WITH Corrugated Bevel Technology. ......and I my friends am drooling over an imaginary Queen Gemini?
 
Had Busse been around in the middle ages their stuff would have no doubt been regarded as magical

INFI swords, cleavers, axes and hammers would have been the stuff of Gods.

I'd really like to see an INFI mace or warhammer, although it's probably never happening.

I think single edge, fat with a high wide fuller, I'd want a Busse Seax! :eek:

I really like the double edge on the Gladius! :thumbup:
 
A gladius is a thrusting and stabbing short sword.

Single edge would only make sense if you used it as a machete.

Kind of like how the hognose isn't an effective short sword but is more like a cleaver or machete.
 
I'd like to see that!

I still haven't added the "regular" Gladius to my collection yet but if that came out if want it too.
What I'd really like to see is a release of the long Gladius, everytime I see that pic I dream of that blade for days.
 
One could mod a HWS to be similar to what you are talking about.
I like the gladius as is, but I do really wish for a longer one I can fit both hands on someday too.
