    Great review. I'd love to see a review of the tfw butterfly swords. they look much nicer than most others that I've seen.

    • @kultofathena6217
      @kultofathena6217  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes they're built better than the cold steel ones.

    I used to prefer the look of the Pompeii and Fulham style blades like this one, but now I'm more of a Mainz blade shape guy.

    Blade dimensions stated are not accurate...it's more like 22 inches, not 31 1/2 inch..

    I've been looking at the TFW Gladius for awhile. I've been really wanting one & now I want one even more. Could you show us the Deepika Hoplite Spear?

    Great review. Beautiful sword! What's the weight on it?

  • @Nordrig
    @Nordrig 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    That's a fulham gladius, straight narrow blade and traingular point. Mainz gladius has got a little bit more of a waist narrowing and a longer point.

    Which is the best budget gladius has to be battle ready ?

  • @warcreed5658

    Nice.
    What kind of steel does it made of?

  • @RVM451
    @RVM451 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Friend,
    I'd really like to see a review of the Ritter No-Dachi. Swords or Katanas with blades over 36" are not common. The Ritter Sword is relatively inexpensive and it looks a bit on the thin side. I'd like a close-up including some cutting.

    @grahammoore5801 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    That's sweet. I have been looking for a gladius sword lately. I'll have to check this out. I recommend the cobra Steel line (by windlass)for review for people on a budget. Great content, keep it up!

    • @kultofathena6217
      @kultofathena6217  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Graham, the Cobra steel kopis is a really cool one. Shipped out a few of those in the last month. Thanks for checking the review.

    • @ARR0WMANC3R
      @ARR0WMANC3R 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Windlass has their Pompeii gladius 50% off atm at their website (museumreplicas.com). You should check that out!

      Cobra steel Kopis is awesome too !

    You need to do your history roman gladius is more than capable of cutting in battle

  • @28Shadow
    @28Shadow 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I've been shopping around and considering some of the TFW swords. Primarily the Kris models, the Bastard sword you guys reviewed awhile back, and the sansibar 2 with the guard on it, but as usual I've yet to commit to something! lol

    • @kultofathena6217
      @kultofathena6217  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      The Kris are well built and very sharp, just depends on what type of training you're into

    • @jdirthead
      @jdirthead 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I bought the Sansibar 2, very well made short sword

  • @Ingeb91
    @Ingeb91 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm really fascinated by these shorter swords, like most types of gladius, or the greek siphos. I'm a newbie, and I'm wondering, if I was to do my first buy on a gladius, for example, would you recommend going for an albion right off the bat, or going for a less "sell your house"-price range than an albion, more like this, or a windlass? What price range do you think I get the most weapon for my money, and would be smart to find out what I like in swords before I spend 800 dollars or more? Let me know what you would do, if you wanted a shorter type sword as your first, and what range (maybe specific sword) you would go for. Thanks.

    • @movementwithtom
      @movementwithtom 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I would say the best quality and handling is Albion. However, if you're going to be doing cutting with it and experimenting with how a live blade functions you're probably going to want a Devils Edge or a sharpened Deepeka to start. If it's me I'd get the cheaper and order the Albion since they have a 3-6 month wait time on products. Hope this helps

    • @Ingeb91
      @Ingeb91 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks. I'll go for some cheap stuff, I think. I might go for a "squire", from albion, since those are the least expensive albion swords, which means that they can be trusted not to fall apart if I cut something alittle stronger than a water bottle. I don't know, I'll make up my mind eventually.

    >tfw no gladius
    So sadius.

  • @kcbeem123
    @kcbeem123 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    wow would not think the blade would be that long.

    • @kultofathena6217
      @kultofathena6217  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      it's about 29 1/2. More like a Spatha length really.

  • @LegionTacticoolCutlery
    @LegionTacticoolCutlery 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    I own this Gladius. Little expensive.

  • @kcbeem123
    @kcbeem123 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    gotta say that can't be be a 30 plus inch blade?

    • @kultofathena6217
      @kultofathena6217  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's 29 1/2 I measured it after I had already filmed the review

  • @danielflynn9141
    @danielflynn9141 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    For a weapon that is made primarily for thrusting, you're giving us a lot of test cuts. In the future, try showing us thrusts on various targets. That is, after all, how the blade works. Looks like a nice sword though. I like most Filipino made weapons.

    • @carlmoore7984
      @carlmoore7984 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Daniel Flynn it was used for cutting to

    • @Ygdrasil18
      @Ygdrasil18 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      carl moore what he was trying to say is. This weapon was primarily used for thrust. So he should habe shown us primarily thrusts with it.

  • @daveh3997
    @daveh3997 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    At 1:33 you mentioned the peen. The description in Kult of Athena says "Pommel: nut." Assuming you misspoke?
