#gladius #sword #review

This sword retails for $262 from Swordis (link below). It's made by Everest Forge out of Nepal. In this review, I go over the sword in detail, give it some thrusting and cutting tests, and compare it's design and handling to the much more expensive Albion Allectus. I provide some thoughts on what could be improved, and finally render my decision on whether or not the sword is worth the price.
