The Mainz Gladius is my most favorite sword... Or so I thought until I saw this one. The Legionnaire has become a "grail" blade to me. I'm going to have one especially, after watching this video! No bullshit...

[KurNorock]

Was not expecting the grind to be done by hand with an angle grinder. I thought you would have had a jig on a belt grinder. Much respect to that man's steady hands.

[AniwayasSong]

You've got me.
I'm not made of $$$, so it takes me time to save-up for self defense tools I admire.

Thank you for making and sharing these videos, so folks like myself can see what you're doing!

[robertosantinni]

I never would have thought they used a hand held grinder for the edges.

[dreadthemadsmith]

I've always loved the utilitarian look and style of these weapons, nice to see that it extends to the making of them.

[seabournewolf]

I’d love that with simple hickory scales (wrapped in leather)

[jamesdeek]

Been buying from you guys since the start and i must say you have perfected your craft. Your stuff is worth every penny and the fans are awesome folk too

[shaggrat]

Serious respect. I will be buying one of your tools soon. The economy slows things down.

[MickeyCuervo]

Do you guys think you'd ever make a shield to go along with your swords? Or is that less of a concern with zombies?

[roberthowe]

An absolutely savage piece of kit and I take my hat off to all the craftsmen at ZT for their work, a definite must have for me in time to come.

[TheKing-dmbr]

Been wanting to see this one in action more! Good job!

[archaicanarch]

You Gents are true artists and craftsmen. Bravo.

[traymann]

One of the best sword companies out there truly a work of art.

[JohnDoe-bwtz]

Oh boy, now I want a Legionnaire... :(

[FXR_Marine]

I’m DEFINITELY getting one from ZT. You guys know your shit. Outstanding video gents.

[njcranes]

I've always said that would be the best zombie slayer

[dbzsuperfan]

Every bone in my body wants to work a forge like this, absolutely beautiful stuff

[KurNorock]

You guys ever think about doing a longsword? 42in blade, 12in grip, crossguard, pommel, 3-5 pounds, etc..

I'd probably buy one.

[Neruomir]

I wonder if this should not be called carving a sword rather than forging. Considering its a process that solely removes material from a peace of flat bar rather than displacing and shaping the material.

[nicholasmelvin]

This is remarkable. I've wanted a ZT blade my entire adult life, and i will be buying one next month knowing my money will be well spent. You are all so talented.
