custom machining

It may not be entirely accurate, but if you can't get a part made any other way, this might be the path of the future. You even get their custom software to design your stuff.<br>

Question is, taking a look at their product line, could you get a reasonable sword/pugio/etc done this way? <p>Legio XX<br>

I am very familiar with the manufacturing techniques that go into making these parts advertized by that company.<br>
Question is would you want a stamped sword?<br>
how about an extruded one. I believe this company could come up with a way to manufacture your sword...are you willing to give up your first born to pay for it? <p></p><i></i>

Another problem is the general impression of a piece made by custom machining. I think it could be too "perfect". Roman artifacts generally are very imperfect or bad finished...<br>
