Where can I find a high quality functional Gladius? And what should I expect to pay?
Fury. |
|
That is a little too taticicool for me, I was looking for more of a traditional sword. |
|
Here's some from a fast Google search.
Considering that the Gladius wasn't made from anything like modern steel, even a cheap one would be serviceable: Prices run up to around $200 for good ones. http://www.strongblade.com/nav/Greekroman.html?gclid=CO6KsPbv5qECFRMNDQodJGRyJg http://www.realarmorofgod.com/store/html/Products/Swords/Roman/index.html http://www.medievalcollectibles.com/s-24-roman-swords.aspx |

riddle. . . . Congrats man!!!!!!. . . . It is The Busse Combat Gladius! . . . And it is wicked sick!!!!  I told you guys before that I would use my Captain Crunch decoder ring on the next riddle. . . You can Google it and find the code under under Captain Crunch Decoder Ring. . . The Captain really let me down on this one!!!!   So, now to the point of who won. Looking at the rules it clearly states that it is all about who SOLVES the riddle, not who posts it. . . . Oge14 posted Corey's answer (Very HOG-Like ). . . but Corey SOLVED it. . . . The prize is non-transferable, meaning that you can't sell or give it away. . . . . . . On top of all of this,Corey is not an inducted HOG. . . . so, as of now, he only gets the satisfaction of a job well done. . . . and Oge14 gets the satisfaction of being very HOG-like. . . Hmmmmmm. . . . . I'm not drunk enough for this yet. . . .  CoreyI35. . . Call the shop ASAP at (419) 923-6471 or email me your number at [email protected] I'm gonna keep drinkin'. . . Jerry  |
| The gladius will make its appearance at Blade show this weekend. we dont' know what it looks like, and may have no resemblance to the original configuration whatsoever.. Busse knife names are always "unique" Mean street, Badger attack, Fusion steel heart, Hellrazor.. so gladius, I would hope to mean a big bad blade, but you never know.. We'll find out this weekend.. what ever it is... it will be expensive :) |
do want

Quoted: OK, This was just posted on bladeforums.. All I have to say is WOW... traditional looking blade in modern INFI steel... incredible.. I wish I had the $$ to go to blade this weekend. This is a heirloom in the making. http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii218/fbusmc/Gladius10.jpg http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii218/fbusmc/Gladius8.jpg http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii218/fbusmc/GladiusG-10RedBlack-1.jpg I held one this weekend at blade.... All I can say is WOW! The price on them will be like $1800 +/-..but for those who pre-ordered AT Blade this past weekend,they got them for a very special price (pre-order)!      |
