Jaro Petrina 68 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Another of my friends contacted me if I could just grind one of his very old reenactment/stage swords sharp, to be able to cut PET flasks or say a chicken. Bear in mind that this was 20 years old almost 4 pound thing with a thickness of 3,5 mm where the edge would be. I have reground it into a sort of a lens profile and also ground down the oversized pommel. Not the lightest thing still, but handles like a sword should and with good steel on the edge and the full convex from the fuller it should be capable into chopping into a pig carcass or similar things. This time I took a "before" picture. Judge for yourself. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Joshua States 1,813 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 It does look much better than it did. Hopefully, it was heat treated and won't bend the first time it strikes a shield....... Link to post Share on other sites

But now this was a cheap opportunity for that guy to have a sharp sword for cutting demo and stuff. Link to post Share on other sites
