Pugiones Information Needed
#2
Patrick Crispvs would be the best one to message about this, however in Pugio Saliola/Casprini page 48 ( which I think you are reading ) this is the only mention of thickness which surprising as all the examples that are in the book all have dimensions bar this one ? Type A with no midrib 2mm type B,C midrib and lenticular 4mm. As to stock removal to do a mid rib is quite easy, but a little more time and care to do.
         
This is a sword I did years ago from a blade found in Steinamanger Hungary  ( sorry its not a Pugio ) I used a 1mm cutting disc, warning you have to be careful when using this type of disc as a grinding disc it took me a lot of hours to do both sides on a 30" blade, also it was a special industrial disc I used.
I would first mark two lines down the blade to the width of the rib, next grind the edges of the blade up to the line, once you are happy, run a cutting disc gently down your lines to the depth you need. Then gently reduce the metal down with a grinding disc to expose the rib if you can follow  Wink hope this what you are after  Smile
