Shopping for a Rotella

[Sal Bertucci]

I'm thinking about getting a rotella, and wanted to know if anyone had any recommendations.

Since it is basically a sheet of steel with handles does it really matter who makes it? I mean we have very high standards for swords, but the role of a rotella is very different.

What do you all think?

As a follow up question: What gauge of steel were historical rotellas?

Frank Zamary has one, but I don't know where he got it from.

Sal, this might be a real good question for Parker. He could probably make a good one for you, at an affordable price, and help you decide exactly what you want as far as historical construction.
