Sword Making Tutorial Make Your Own Gladius
#91
Would it be at all possible to post the dimensions of the blades on here? The pictures are very helpful, and I am going to attempt to make a sword this weekend, and the scabbard as well (though some other weekend or during evenings).

All in all, this has been a very helpful post.
