First of all, I didn't ask where the product is being manufactured, I asked what company manufacurers it - like for eg., United Cutlery manufactures Gil Hibben's knives, and this is not a trade secret. A knife lines manufacturing source is not a trade secret - eg. benchmade.com, gerberblades.com, unitedcutlery.com, buckknives.com, etc. All have public websites, addresses and phone numbers.
My point is, I've seen some of gladius swords and daggers on cheap generic knife dealer websites (eg.
http://www.world-interactive.com/armory/products/fantasy.shtml ) who simply scan some catalog page and post the pic on their webpage, so obviously there's a wholesale catalog out there. Even go to any search engine and type gladius, or "art gladius", you'll see many knife dealers reselling this product line. So, someone hopefully can tell me the source.
The reason is, I sell fantasy knifes and swords, so gladius blades definitely fit my market. Thanks again for your help.
