Molot & Hurricane
Hey Molot, ever thought about making a blade that can survive a hurricane? I’d love to hear how you’d forge something that can handle the wildest chaos.
Sure thing, but a blade that can take a hurricane is more dream than reality. I’d start with a thick, high‑carbon steel, then heat‑treat it so the edge stays hard yet tough. Layer it with a tougher alloy on the spine for strength. Add a forged curve to help cut through any force, and finish it with a hard protective coating. Even then, it’d be more about withstanding the storm than riding on a wind‑torn wave. But the process is as much about the journey as the result, right?
Sounds wild, but the real test is whether that blade can keep up when the wind starts doing its own thing. Let’s see if it can survive the chaos, not just the idea of it.
You want a blade that can hold up against a hurricane? Start with a forged carbon steel core, then add a tough, weather‑resistant alloy coating. Keep the edge wide and slightly curved so the wind doesn’t tear it. Heat‑treat it for a hard, yet ductile finish, then protect it with a thick oil or wax layer so the salt spray won’t rust it. It won’t ride the wind, but it’ll stay in one piece when the storm hits. Try it out on a windy day and see how it holds up. Good luck, and keep the furnace on.
