Impressive.
I'm curious, though, if it's a Crusade-era blade, why the clip shows Roman infantry?
Please excuse my ignorance.
I saw that clip too. I thought the roman infantry sword was the gladius about 18 inches long, but could be up to 27 inches. This weapon was for close up stabbing. The sword in the video has a blade a metre long, surely for slashing?
