Um are you talking specifically roman? Also do you need to talk in capitals? If you are talking specifically roman, spatha, xiphos and gladius. I don't have one but I would one day like a bone handled gladius.

NICE collection RICK good to see i am not the only one who likes roman TYPE swords +1 how would you rate the windlass roman swords? they dont ship sharpend? but they seem well made for the money.

The pugio is the only windlass roman blade I have. I like it okay. I sharpened it to where it will cut paper, tho I haven't cut anything with it as it's a bit short. Maybe I'll give it a try this weekend. Personally I don't care for the riccasso on the windlass gladii (like the last two in the pic), tho I'd probably get one if they came sharp. Companies that ship dull swords put me off.

That's the way I would go, Axeman.
Thanks for the info, Krieg. The celtic does have a lot in common with the gladii it appears.

Yeah, I saw that one, Deejay. I have an earlier version of that gladius. A good sword.

No reason you can't, DJ. Just takes single minded obsession.
