    I believe it makes it stronger, plus it gives it that very cool swirl pattern.

    It evens out the carbon which makes it both stronger and more flexible, better able to hold the edge and less likely to shatter in a combat situation.

    In Damo's case, he would be standing with a glass of champagne while his dinner guests admired the sword, as it is decorative, and would likely be on a wall in his house. Hopefully, Damo's final glass will be worthy of the French Twelfth Republic.

    interesting that a culture would make a tool of death such a beautiful piece of art
    I thought you were convinced that Damo had sold up and Grind was the new owner?
