I'm definatly keeping my fullered Gladius though. I'll upload it to the site when it's done.
The answer to your question is that the classic varients of the Gladius all have a diamond cross section, this, along with the leaf shape or parralel sided edge are part of what makes it such a brutal cutting blade because it moves the balance point closer to the tip.
