You forge you sword in the fire to make it really strong. A great analogy i was taught. Time after time, to make it stronger and stronger. You can have a beautiful ornamental sword which in itself is a work of art, but it is different yet the same to look at, to one made to truly kill. By the way i know very little about sword construction to comment on technical matters..LOL

That is a very good point, that many miss!
