Also worth mentioning that blunts tend to have thinner edges than feders (especially ones like Ensifers with I-beam geometries), which means they’ll pick up nicks and dents faster.
As such, they also simply won’t last as long durability-wise, as more stress risers = higher risk of blade breakage

that Albion blunt messer is a loud bastard, isn’t it? lol

how much does Donnie weigh?

They’re with RJ for sharpening, but they cut quite well even with Valiant’s normal edge

they also don’t seem to know that Spartan wealth tended to concentrate towards women and gave them tremendous political influence as well

This also brings forth the issue that the newton rating on most jackets are hardly ever actually tested/proven.

The rapier involved in this incident also had 11kg of flex, which I would say is on the stiffer end as far as I could tell. A couple of other makes we tested each had less than half.

i’m only a few hours in and i’m in love

So, those little pits shouldn’t be failure points since they’re fairly far in the flat rather than on the edge. Not a place where a stress riser can pop up

You’d get similar pitting if a blade rusted on you, but in most cases that’s not a structural cause for concern either.

you what

i love that he is loved so much

we basically did pulling any that were sus and needing to be rerolled
