Woo hoo Wootz Hunter.
Great video.
In response to the or original video of âwootzâ steel and the blades referenced in that videoâŠ.
My 700ish year old Tulwar.
Yes, the knuckle bow is missing, close inspection can see where it broke off and was filed down.
No it doesnât compare to modern steel.
But it is certainly not without its own merits!
For instanceâŠ.
My swing sucked, which resulted in the blade being put under excessive stress!
But it still came back to true and even though it chopped through bone (simulate) it was barely dulled!
Thereâs no way to know if my blade is wootz steel without scientific study, that I am not gonna pay forâŠ.
What I do know is that it IS old, and it is wicked sharp, lightweight, and relatively durable.
I am absolutely certain if I practice my stroke, I could chop heads with this weapon.
How will that perform anything like an ancient sword?
Back in the day when that 3 foot long, inch and a quarter wide yet only 1.7lb blade was forged, it certainly wasnât forged for cutting cheese!
Your little rat sticker doesnât need to flex,⊠itâs not built for it⊠and is too small anyway.
So bragging that itâs made of honestly inferior steel that is comparable to ancient sword steel is questionable at best!
But I guess I shouldnât be surprised coming from you.
Is it Russian steel?
Is India part of Russia 700 years ago? (No)
SWEETS, listen up! Time to learn you â again!
Rest assured, no ancient steel in this world has anything on our modern steel. We can forge steel in so many better ways today than they could and for a thousand different purposes.
The smiths go back in time for the love and passion of their trade, for the pure joy of it. Youâre not a smart, creative person like we are, Willie. Youâre a narrow minded dolt, incapable of understanding.
Never said my 1075 was better than that floppy, sloppy, busted up hunk oâ turd of yours that you donât even know how to swing in the first place. I said it was a good bargain and it could be concealed, whereas yours is but a used up, broken collectors item that should be preserved â before your clumsy little hands bust it.
Youâre no swordsman, Sweet Willie B! You missed your stroke!
I donât collect knives for hanging on the wall, Willie B. I use them out in the field, camping, hunting, fishing, survival and combat training, etc.
You havenât figured out how to use yours yet.
Stick that thing up your crack!
You couldnât chop a stalk of celery.
Willie Boy.
The B stands for âB#tchâ.
Did I get under your skin poor little teddy?
EAD.
Nobody cares about your modern steel pig sticker that you didnât even post in your OP.
Wanna know why?
Because everybody has a modern steel pig sticker!
Youâre just mad because I actually have a piece of history that neither of your living gods can claim as their own!
Will B#tch.
Go hump a flagpole, Will B#tch.
Do you find that exciting?
Asking for a friend.
No apologies or sympathies, but I forget youâre permanently flaccid. Gone limp for life.
Sucks to be Will B#tch.
Enough of you, fool. Gâbye.
