Hi DD......guns are not my forte....never even fired live rounds...

Anyway....back to the thread.....Is there any data on the effective cutting abilities / strength of various sword designs, and or blades formed by differing forging techniques / type of steel (carbon content) used ?
It would be very interesting to see direct comparisions between the various ethnographic swords that originate from around the world.......
