DO you think you could effectively use a Damascus steel broadsword?

I've held one or two, not really that much harder to use than a normal one.

Really? Should've been heavier.
Have you ever shaved your armpits?

Actually what we now know as "damascus steel" is really just pattern welded and acid etched to give the wave-like appearance.
The technique to make true damascene steel has been lost to us.
And no.
Heck no.

Are you sure about that? I knew of the cheap patterned stuff, but I think I've seen real Damascus before in new products. Heavy, at any rate.

If it was real Damascus it was an antique.

And by patterned I meant a certain forging method, not simply the etched on design.

Disappointing. Though now I have something to figure out. ^_^

Are you prepared to die? Like with wills and funeral home arrangements and burial plots bought and such?
If not, now might be a good time to get on that. -_-

All is set: My body is to be mummified, and stuffed with C4. Already have the tickets to Mecca.
