Sure thing, mate. First thing's first: get a good steel, nothing fancy, just a reliable high‑carbon steel that won't rust in a hurry. We’ll heat it up to a bright orange, then hammer it quickly, forging the blade in a few passes. Keep the edges sharp by hand‑grinding with a whetstone right after the quench. I’ll use a quick oil quench; it might leave a little roughness, but we’ll polish it off later. The key is to keep the blade thin enough for speed but strong enough for a raid. Once it’s hardened and tempered, I’ll give it a quick test swing on the anvil to make sure it feels right. With that in place, you’ll have a sharp, fast‑swinging blade that’ll cut through trouble faster than you can say “victory.” Good luck out there.

Glad to hear it, friend. Keep your eyes sharp and your sword sharper. Good luck, and may the wind carry you swiftly past those who would threaten the village.
