The blade features a pronounced dual fuller design, reducing weight while maintaining stiffness and improving handling characteristics. This construction allows for efficient cutting performance while preserving the strength required for thrusting, making it a versatile weapon in both infantry and cavalry contexts.
This piece stands out as a research-driven reconstruction, offering a more historically grounded interpretation of the Late Roman spatha compared to standard production models.
Historically, hilts of this type were often crafted from bone or antler. In this version, Deepeeka has used carefully hand-carved wood to replicate the form while ensuring durability and consistency. The hilt is secured with a brass pommel nut, maintaining traditional construction methods.
