i apologize, when i say live steel, i mean steel that was designed for combat. i wouldn't pit a well made heavy rapier against a stainless steel one. The amount of carbon and other alloys in a steel blade affect its hardness and flexibility and can be varied according to the skill and desire of the smith.

Though you are right, depending on the shape of the blade too, like a falchion... those are designed to inflict deep wounds.

Practically speaking, weren't most of these weapons designed to pierce, lop, or slice people to death? :)

the falchion is uniquely designed to draw itself deeper into the person. it is the closest a sword gets to an axe.

Ooooh, falchions ROCK! I will be cleaving meat with one this weekend.

Display blade of not, this dude is a retard. This is why I put away my weapons before having gatherings.

all my edged weapons would be sheathed in a locked room, or locked under glass.
