if it's only about a grand, i want one!
them swords are usually forged.. and it's a very time consuming
process... lots of art and skill too.. then 2 types of steel are
beaten together and then tempered, causing the curve of the
sword..
which is why i figure, that "reverse edged sword" is fictional...
the cutting edge is hard and brittle while the non-cutting edge
provides the strength and flexibility.. the sword is straight when
being forged and bends when tempered because the softer metal
shrinks more..
