The Flex
Many of our battle-ready swords will flex over 5" and return to true. If a sword is not properly tempered it will stay bent! The sword shown is our Acre Sword by Windlass Steelcrafts®. Due to the thickness of some of our Battle-Ready blades not all of them will flex as easily as the one shown here.
Cinder Block Cutting Demo The blade only showed very small scratches from passing through the stone, and the edge was not dented or damaged.
A true test of a blades temper! The first in a series of blunt Generation 2 Battle-Ready swords has arrived Norman Medieval Sword (IP-004-2) (battle-ready with blunt edge). To be sure that this new sword will meet or exceed our customer's expectations of our battle-ready swords, we decided the best way to test the temper and strength was to cut stone!
Many swords will cut into cinder blocks or bricks, but the key is "what happens to the sword during the cut". To ensure the test's validity we have taken before and after pictures as well as filmed the sword making the cut.
Note: This is not a recommended practice and is only shown here as a demonstration. Doing such a thing could damage your sword.
