Lol, its going on the wall. And this is a $60 sword, not a $20 sword.

Blade: 440 Stainless = A rockwell hardness of probably 50-60. Brittle. Drop it and it will break.

Scabbard: Black Aluminum = Uh huh, just like the Samurai used to use.

handy but opinionated blade glossary/faq

He's selling you something. I'm an engineer. I think he's full of shit.


The higher the rockwell hardness, the more brittle it is. PERIOD.
Find a sword over $3000, and I'll guarantee it's been folded by a blacksmith, is UNHARDEND, and would shatter a 440stainless blade on impact.
He's right about keeping an edge though. A sword made from something like CPM9V would stay sharp for damn near forever.

[martyr]

well, sasquatch never said it was good for a sword, and if he did, i'd say he's ... "dull." har har. he just says it's harder than 420 (no kidding).

i agree that 440 is too brittle for a sword you intend to fight with, but i think it's a good choice for wall decor for its resistant properties. if you're looking for a defensive weapon, always remember that lead > steel

[Jaged]

Yeah, who is actually going to fight with a sword these days? And a $3000 sword would be sweet as fuck, I would probably buy computer stuff instead if I had that kind of money to throw around. All I need is a sword that looks sweet, and doesn't break when you pick it up. This one qualifies

440 stainless is perfect for "Post your Ninja Picture" threads! I wasn't thinking you were going into battle Jaged

[Jaged]

Lol, now if only I had a ninja costume. That would be the best fucking haloween costume ev4r!

[Rayder]

I want to go into battle with a sword breaker, not some cheezey katana or longsword... someone find me a sword breaker.
