“Hi, I’m candy.”

“Of course you are”

Candy retired from the business the next morning and submitted an application to McDonalds.

Let me know what you find. That was my impression anyway.

I am pretty sure the reason they used that folding technique was to compensate for the poor quality steel available in Japan. European swordsmiths did not have this problem.

 

[Billy no mates]

My Victorian Constabulary Cutlass , a managable size a good cutter and spear pointed so useful for delivering thrusts too .

 

[William Huggins]

Apparently they folded these layers of metal over one another, repeatedly to give thr blade it's density and edge.

They had no choice the quality of the raw product was not fit for purpose.

 

[esotamoc]

Naval cutlass or military sabre. versatile, great hand protection, easy to store and use.

Their swords also did not carry the same edge, if I recall my learnings from long ago.

 

[elwani]

What, no Excalibur?

 

[Billy no mates]

Naval cutlass or military sabre. versatile, great hand protection, easy to store and use.

You can pick up Dutch 'Klewangs' for pretty reasonable money though not all of them have retained their hand protection .

Also...

 

[Iroh]

The One that's between Brock Lesnar's tits.

That's not a sword...

 

[Zinger]

@Iroh

Well, it's not a dick either.

 

[William Huggins]

Something hand and a half size (bastard) made from Wootz steel.

 

[ripsta619]

Claymore

Loved when they had it on deadliest warrior and on it's test it cut 3 heads clean off in one swing.

 

[Iroh]

I really like the Egyptian Khopesh.

I have this one.

Also really like Teh Kris

I also really like the 2.5K year old sword of Goujian.

I generally like Chinese swords more than Japanese swords.

 

[Sycho Sid]

Just because they are awesome in movies

I Don't really have a favourite, but One of my wife's brothers has One that looks like this. I've only seen it once, but it looked pretty cool. He has a replica, that is Nice and shiny,but These were Apparently used in combat by the Kazakhs and other central Asians in 16-19th Century.


I Asked my wife for some info, but she doesn't give a fuck about it. She gave me a Fedor shrug and said it's a sword. Well, no shit, I Can see that myself. <45>
