The Story

This sword was commissioned to be more ornate than the standard Roman gladius. He wanted to look like it was commissioned for someone with higher status, like a nobleman. I was given free rein on the design and after countless revisions, this was the end result. I think it has a good balance between modesty and elegance without being over the top.
