Sword build: forged titanium gladius

Awesome thread, hats off to you good sir! I'm happy to see it finally done, what a kick ass sword!

I'm excited for the sequel :D
 
Thanks gentlemen, you're too kind!

That's interesting Mete, because while forging with a hammer there is a point near the beta transus temperature where the metal is briefly easier to move than at a higher temperature, by which I mean its ghastly springback relaxes for a moment. This is a good time to flatten the billet and do small modifications.
 
Very cool sword!! That first video was so funny I almost fell out of bed trying to keep the laughter inside (and not wake the wife). Hilarious, great music.

I bet it would do better against flesh than wood and wet paper. Maybe give it to a butcher for some testing :D
