That look s awesome. Only if I had the materials for my S.S. Project on ancient artifacts. I was looking for a video for how to make a Roman sword and this was a good one.

@GuddaBhudda thanks :)

Nice work with this video as well dude :) that gladius looks really good and authentic despite it being homemade, even the scabbard looks great!

[jgn69]

@Kiwis4life thanks it is difficult to make real blades. but i hope to learn it one day :)

Spatha in spanish is Espada, sounds almost the same.

how much?

[jgn69]

Nice work. A few tips..a sharper point would be nice and add a metal bolster between the hilt and the blade to prevent the metal blade driving into the wood if you thrust with it also let the tang go all the way thru the pommel ,add a washer then peen it over like rivit. good job on the scabbard.

@MrChance3100 thanks for the tips :) but the point is not sharp because of safty reasons

[jgn69]

@BlackOpsMaster64 i have no measurements for the sword

[ninjaboy780]

You should make more and sell them on amazon.com

[DavidOwlGrove]

You should have made the tip sharp and pointy

[jcvelasquez11]

[jgn69]

@jcvelasquez11 I made the blade by my self :)

[locodriver107]

i love your method i am making a spatha myself and i found that your method of making the hilt worked beutifully your gladius turned out nicely as well i cant wait to show you my finished work!

[jgn69]

@locodriver107 I will look forward to see your spatha :)

[CHARLIEISALOSER]

awsome this is exactly the video ive been searching for i just have 1 question is the handle very strong when it has set or does it wobble around after a while

[jgn69]

@CHARLIEISALOSER the handle works fine :)

[lifaen951102]

i thin on the blade by te start of the video, on the handle of the metal:D

[jgn69]

@lifaen951102 okay I have forged blade and hammered the handle out of the iron

[lifaen951102]

Hy!

How have you make the blade on the handle?

[jgn69]

@lifaen951102 I have drilled a hole in the handle
