Why fake swords don't win wars...

[Balryn]

This is great.

For anyone who wonders why I'd prefer to smith a blade, than to have one sharpened out of sheet metal.

Oh my god that was so hilarious! I seriously would much rather have my blade traditionally smithed then cut from steel. If you have it cut, it is stupidity, as this man was so kind enough to demostrate.

I've seen that video before and the guy was totally mis-handling that sword-like object. I own a sword that wasn't 'forged' in the traditional manner either. It was made by stock-removal grinding and it's lasted me about 8 years now. Another thing that was done was the maker had the blade properly heat-treated.

there's a first time for everything

I think we can chalk this one up to pilot error and move on.

So very unfortunate he missed all vital areas.

Cut a lot of tables, do we?
