That is a stunning piece - how much does it weigh? I would imagine quite a bit with an hexagonal cross section
Also, could you PM me the price of this if it is available?

Paolo,
How fast do you turn these things out? You seem to have a new sword every two or three days and every one of them is a stunning masterpiece! Do you have a crew of elves working for you?

Do you forge the blades or work them out of the bar by grinding? How much does it weigh? Impressive!

hello Xorx
Normally I use grinding machine and after I do the tempering of the blade.If somebody whant i can forge the blade too but who do this work know ow is long and difficult do this.I have a gas forge and I like do damascus steel too that for roman blades is not so good.

Lovely spatha- the hilt is especially good. Look forward to seeing pic of you, Jyrki, spatha in hand defending the Northern reaches of the Empire!
