I don't want to offend anyone, but this sword is STRAIGHT
that's why I only use sabres and katanas ;-)
Katanas = queer swords
well, they're not straight, and they go nicely with my fedora...
You slay, babe
What about Nodachi? Sephiroth used a Nodachi. If it's good enough for Sephiroth, or Cloud, it's good enough for me.
I seriously want Cloud's Sword Bike from Advent Children.

It's going to be gaymores next.
Swords clash with other swords. Swords were always gay.
But swords are also sheathed ! or... is that an allegory for closeted ?
Tactical transition? Is that for when you want your deadname to stay dead?

A while back, someone suggested that only women should be allowed to own handguns, and that the guns should all be painted baby pink.
MKULTRA: Hold my mimosa. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_bomb
Ooof. I hope that's a stain and not heat discoloration, otherwise that's not a sword, but a sword-shaped wall decoration.
Hard to say, I've never seen a heat affected zone look like that. I also haven't foraged a sword.
I didn't know you can forage for swords.
If you look in the right place, at the right season, there's all kind of swords to be foraged. Delicious with garlic and parsley
Especially abundant near lakes in Britain
Yep, my buddy Art foraged such a nice sword. Everybody calls him a king now. He even made a council like in the LoTR.
Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government!
What if mine was given to me by a watery tart?

Poking the same sex since 3300BC
slayyy ⚔️💑
Don't tell him about stainless tig welding
If this was the Singing Sword from Knighty Knight Bugs, I’ll bet it would sing What’s Going On for 10 hours straight.
This one gets around quite a lot.

I didn't know they added swords to CS2
Heat affected zone on that sword is fucking ridiculous. Sure, you made it harder, but it'll shatter more easily, too.
Could just be a color casing process.
Uh... You might be confusing welding and heat treating concepts...
I'll admit my knowledge of metallurgy is informed by a background in welding, but it's my understanding that the colors on that blade can only happen with a large temperature difference between the middle and its ends, likely as a result of the maker using a benzene torch on it for a few minutes. This high heat is going to do the same thing to the blade as it does during welding: it fucks up the temper. Heat treating is more than just making the metal hot; you have to make it uniformely hot, for a specific amount of time, and then cool it gradually and under control. Doing that doesn't give you the pretty colors, but it does give you stronger metal.
I won't say that this blade is properly heat treated; it probably isn't. In welding, the problem is the wide variation of heat affects in a very small zone. You can have material that is very brittle just millimeters away from material that is very soft and ductile.
You're describing "normalization", which is a process that makes steel uniformly tough, but "plastic". When you flex it, it bends, and stays bent. "Annealing" is a similar process, where the temperature is raised a bit higher, and the cooling slowed even more. "Annealing" leaves the steel very soft.
In tool making, you're first looking for high hardness (acquired with a "quenching" process). This makes it very brittle; it has no elasticity.
Next, you're dialing back that hardness with a "tempering" process, which is done at a lower temperature than the normalization process, and the cooling can be much faster. When tempered, it's still very hard, (significantly harder than "normalized") but now it is slightly elastic. It will flex, but beyond a critical point, it just snaps; it probably won't take on a permanent bend.
These colors are oxide layers that form at temperatures in the "tempering" range.

I cast Scholar's Armanent
Reading this made me instantly have the gay frogs song stuck in my head again
Frogs friggin frogs turn the fricking frogs GAY!
Praise gaben
Ok, but the frogs were becoming gay. Not saying Alex Jones is a decent person.
First the frogs. Then the togs. Then some blogs. Now these too?
They're called chem-flames
You bleed rainbows when cut.
