@twist127 Any sword with more than about 3 percent chromium is not a battle ready sword by default. That goes double for a long, thin blade like a Katana. 420 steel has 12 percent. Now, it will definitely cut things, but any serious contact will almost certainly break it. Not a blade for anything but show, or non-contact kata training.
Blade steels that are worth looking at include 1050, 1060 (anything 10--) carbon steel, 5160, 9255 and 9260 spring steels, and T-10 and L6 tool steels.

@Djemps ok, thank you!

@thebigcrap009 NOOOO!!!!!
Use the wrong oil and it can eat into your finish. Trust me, if you live ANYWHERE in the united states, you can find 3-in-1 oil.

@Djemps i was thinking of vaseline.
-
@thebigcrap009 I wouldn't recommend it. What other kind of oil were you thinking of?
-

@whiteboypatrickkelly Olive Oil = Bad. Gun Oil = Great. WD-40 = OK. .. But seriously, how hard is it to find 3 IN ONE OIL? I just went to Walmart's website and they have it. This is one of the most common household 'workshop' products in the country. Everyone should have a can.

@Djemps ok thanx Ill look around the house maby my dad has some, I never even heard of 3 in 1 lmao, so lets say I gotta go out and buy some oil you still think 3 in 1 is better then gun oil, like lets say I gotta forke over a few bux what should I get the 3 in 1?

@whiteboypatrickkelly >> 3-in-1. Gun Oil is 4x the price. Just google it bro. Walmart. Amazon. Anywhere.
