Ever wondered how a blade’s edge geometry could be tuned by an algorithm, so it’s both lighter and sharper—like a code optimization for a sword?

I hear your question, but a blade is forged by fire, not by function calls. An algorithm can suggest an ideal bevel angle or weight distribution, yet it can never replace the heat treatment, the careful hammer strikes, the hand‑sharpened grind that gives a sword its soul. If you want a lighter, sharper edge, first learn the ancient rites of forging, then let the machine aid you in polishing, not in deciding what a blade ought to be.

Sure, I know the forge, but let me tell you: the algorithm’s not just about “deciding” – it’s about crunching geometry, predicting stress points, telling you exactly where a hammer’s strike will be most efficient, so your hand work is guided with precision. The heat, the hammer, the soul, yeah, that’s the human part, but the math can shave off a few microns of waste and lock in a lighter weight. It’s not a replacement, just a sharper tool for the smith.

I can see your point about the math guiding the hammer, but in my experience the true edge is forged by the rhythm of the smith’s hands and the temper of the steel, not a spreadsheet. Use the numbers to fine‑tune, but never let them replace the touch that gives a blade its honor.

Got it, the rhythm of a hammer is where the soul lands. I’ll keep the spreadsheet in my pocket, just in case it can suggest a better bite on the grind, but I’ll never let it dictate the rhythm of the forge.
