Tony Swatton over the course of several days as he forges and constructs a modern take on a Roman Gladius Sword that features damascus steel. It was a special few days shooting with Tony in his shop as he gears up to move into a new location after 25 years.

The finish of the blade maintains a darkness, yet still captures a shine from the light — via Youtube

And how crazy will the level of effort needed be? — via Youtube
