Founder Astrus Posted June 22, 2009 Founder Share Posted June 22, 2009 None of you really know this but Im really into swords and Ive been moderately disciplined over the years keeping my skills up. Having said that if you are ever going to buy a sword NEVER BUY stainless steel only carbon steel and make sure its a full tang. From my own experience Ive had 4 stainless steel swords do the exact same thing that this guys did lol. Regardless that dude got served lol.....

tankalot Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 LOL yeah stainless steel is good for looks and its good metal if used for the right job like nails. i work with and around CNCs and all of the cutting tools are Carbon steel way better and in a sword you need just the right amount of carbon learned that from a sword making show on the history channel. that guy was just dumb and unlucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
