I agree with this 1000/10. Its a hobby of mine too. Im hoping to start making my own knives from blanks and hopefully swords if I get good enough.
nice, that's a daunting task but If you have the materials and experience I could imagine you making some pretty awesome shet

True, it's got a decent shape to chop someone's shoulder or head with, but if you look at something like a Kopis or Falcata, you can tell with one look that those were designed to chop someone past their shield.
Spoiler I'm not trying to argue, by the way, I just like discussions about this kind of stuff. a common technique was to slash the kneecaps/legs and follow up with an abdominal stab, so the gladius was versatile in the sense that it was a thrusting sword that had decent cutting ability.

I've always wanted a falchion
They're as br00tal as an axe but as kvlt as a sword
Falcatas are also pretty sweet

I would argue that the gladius would be very effective at both cutting and thrusting, the very acute point would be excellent for thrusting, but the broad blade and slightly curved edges would make it very effective for chopping.
Also out of the ones you listed, I would go with 1 or 3, Albion are are great choice when it comes to swords but they're also very expensive. I've had my eyes on a particular sword from them (specifically this one) for quite some time but I just haven't had the funds to obtain it.
you'd be right, as many ancient combat methods utilize the gladius in cutting maneuvers to incapacitate foes before a lethal stab, however the ability to cut is completely dependent on the model of sword, with the Pompeii gladius obviously more suited for a combined thrusting role compared to earlier variants I do admit albion can be over priced, but you do get what you pay for, that sword your looking to buy is pretty intimidating lol, i'll probably try to save up for more of a germanic/scandinavian style blade after i get mah gladius

I imagine he's buying it for historical purposes.
that is one factor that I find appealing

What are you going to be using it on? Buy a machete.
it's fun as hell to test these swords on my invasive bamboo grove, although the gladius is primarily a thrusting weapon. It's just a hobby of mine i guess, I like this shiet.

Latin
Once Christianity took over though the official word for dicks was changed to penis (little tail) because they thought it would curb everyone's sexuality.
This thread is much more amusing when you read it as "Penis Problem" and then proceed to talk about the types of penises you want.
I thought it just meant sword in latin..... but penis problems are much more entertaining

This is interesting... where can I read about the different types of gladius?
hmm, I don't know one exact source, however I could give you the different varieties to search up in more detail Gladius Hispaniensis Pompeii Gladius Mainz Gladius- most of the ones pictured here are mainz/fullham, which are very similar Fulham Gladius it's interesting to see blade design change with tactics, the swords above are complete remakes of original roman swords.

.......  predictability. The milkman, the paperboy, evening tv? How did I get to living here? Somebody tell me please! This old world's confusing me. With clouds as mean as you've ever seen Ain't a bird who knows your tune. Then a little voice inside you Whispers, Kid don't sell your dreams, so soon Everywhere you look, Everywhere you go There's a heart (There's a heart) A hand to hold onto. Everywhere you look, Everywhere you go There's a place, Of Somebody who needs you Everywhere you look. When you're lost out there and you're all alone, A light is waiting to carry you home. Everywhere you look. Everywhere you look. (Chip-a-dee-ba-ba-dow)
