Quote:I belive some of the gladii were also more complicated than simple crudeIn fact, looking at Miks, it seems that there are only a small number of blades of mono-steel. Even the very cheap swords have at least the edges welded on in a high-quality steel. No wonder, since this is the case on every Roman kitchen knive, so why shouldn´t they do this with the swords as well... :roll:
mono stock blades.
The table shows the hardness of the section of the blade (as shown above and below), highest value is 505 right at the edge.
