[vikingninja72]

I must find out the name of this music.

what is it? oh, and how much is the sword?

[swordsofmight]

There is no name to the music, it is made for us. The sword is $1619.90

[BackstrokeOfTheWest]

Beautiful sword... Pity $1600 is a bit out of my price range.

[sheanmtaal7]

[Rashishi1444]

[ChrisRiley93]

@sheanmtaal7 Panels.

@ihaterobbie123 Haha, L6 is a bandsaw tool steel, not new or revolutionary. American bladesmiths have been using it for a long time. It does not have as good of wear resistance as certain high speed tool steels, but it does have great toughness at medium-high hardness and is quite forgiving during heat treat. the drawback to l6 is that it is hard to forge, and eats up grinding belts and stones during pre-heat treat profiling, it also rusts horribly.

Please upload the video in HQ ...I want to see the beautiful Hamon made from forging a blade Soshu-Kitae style :D

[twistedbydsign99]

wish i could afford it

[AlwaysCool5000]

perfect

[gonefishingstudios]

@swordsofmight what about the name of the music on your cold steel nodachi video?

[ihaterobbie123]

@page6345 Yeah, because l6 steel is decorative...

What are you? Someone who swings around a conventional cutter with plain fittings? Then you like decorative swords.

You could fit a katana with plastic ergonomic grips, it would look stupid but it would be functional.

If you don't like decorative swords then don't buy a katana. Traditional fittings aren't as functional as they could be but that's all you'll find them in.
