I've always though I'd have a bigger sword than Jay. But maybe that's just me compenstating.......
FOR the lost eye of course!! Dirty minds.
perhaps you can use the very old castle swords? they're a bit longer, round at the top, and the blade is wider as well.
I thought a different type of Gladiator would be nice (youll see the rest using those swords later). Also on a program I watched, there was a type of Gladiator who held a round shield and a small knife.....
