Sure thing. Forge a rough shape with old‑school hammering, then heat‑treat it like a modern billet to lock in the microstructure. Add a low‑carbon alloy with a touch of titanium or silicon to beef up toughness without wrecking the weight. Then finish with a cryogenic quench for extra brittleness control. You’ll get a blade that can take a medieval blow and survive a lab test, no fluff. Just grind it, test it, repeat until it stops flexing. No fancy jargon, just results.
