Masterful craftsmanship sir,and a real testament to the swordsmith of old and how they created the Gladius of the classical Roman era. A magnificent piece of art sir

[@keirfarnum6811]

I love how metal workers always use metal working tools to do their woodworking jobs instead of normal wood tools. Instead is using a router to route the wood to fit the tang for instance, they use a milling machine. Fascinating.

[@charlestehuia9263]

Yes your right

[@PjotrStroganov]

Using what’s readily available. It’s a pragmatic approach. And metal working tools generally hold up better to wood than woodworking tools to metal. ;)

They refer to it as 'composite carbohydrate foam'

That sparta is beautiful, a sword that any Roman officer would be mightily glad and proud to own, I certainly would. Indeed the best sword of this type I have ever seen. The workmanship is second to none, being beautiful throughout. You're a true artisan sir.💯🥇

[@mikestroman353]

Has anyone ever heard of quenching a blade pointed north . I saw a guy makeing knives in a Smith shop and he said his first blades cracked when he quenched . But he was told by old man to make sure his blade was pointed north when quenched in oil. That would pull the molecules of steel in line . I don't know , sounded skechy

[@starsixtyseven195]

No, do quench in warm oil though
