So I FINALLY got around to testing this sword, and it was holding up very well when I was using it. A friend of mine wanted to try, he had never tried something like this before and therefore his cut was angled instead of straight when he hit the 2 liter bottle across my front lawn. He almost dropped the sword from the pain that he felt in his wrist following a not-so-graceful slash at a bottle. On inspection of the sword.... well... let's just say this "hand-forged, battle-ready" weapon was definitely not what it was boasted to be.
He apologized immensely for what he had done, I felt so bad. He didn't understand at the time that we were lucky this thing didn't snap with a good amount of momentum. I explained to him that he in fact did me a favor by revealing this blade's true colors, and that it really didn't upset me in any way. Sure the false advertising sucks, but this may be the reason there was no manufacturer listed for making this blade. Also why the site that sold these only carried them for a few months.
In the end I still have my Abrazir! And not to mention it was slicing the heck out of some water-filled 2 liter bottles, right along with Wolfreach!
Just thought I would share this with you guys, it's actually quite humorous to me!
...in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.
