Now it's time to make the pugio hilt.
Jose Manuel Pastor make me that pugio blade:
To make a good flat tang blade, and in order to follow the arqueological evidence, i have cut one of the circular expansions of the tang.
The sistem is well showed at Bishop/ Coulston 1993. Another good source it's L. Vanden Berghe, M. Simkins "Construction and reconstruction of the Titelberg dagger" JRMES, 12/13, 2001/2, 75-85
Now we aply some hard wood pieces, secured with some rivets. That rivets later will be concealed by the metal cover of the hilt.
