Anyone Know a source for Pugios?
#1
Ave,
Does anyone know sources for good custom pugios? Been looking around and only found one so far and they are over $300. Anyone know sources or links? Does anyone know if Matt L. makes blades?
Thanks.

If anyone knows of anything in Long Island, New York please tell me.

Quite expensive, but nice: aurificina treverica

For blades only try Mark Morrow.

I've just started forging weapons Gavin, but so far I've only made pilum shanks and a test hasta tip- I don't doubt that I'd get to pugiones and gladii eventually, but not just yet. Mark's work is excellent, so I can recommend him as well.

Just to clarify, I meant Mark Morrow does blades by themselves, not to only try him :?

I am hesitant to post negative information, but in this case I must in order to prevent someone else from throwing money away:

Joe Pila, a very nice guy who does overall fine work at The Lonely Forge made me a pugio that is simply ENORMOUS. It's like a second sword - ugh! I sent it back to him and he "fixed" it but it is still unacceptable for the scrupulous reenactor. A fine quality forged blade, but not up to historical criteria...very hard to tell from his website.
