Hey Hooch, I just finished the initial design of a sword that should be flawless, but I need a stoic protector's take on whether it can hold up against a real threat—got any thoughts?

Looks solid on paper, but theory doesn’t hold up in the heat of battle. Check the steel's composition, make sure the edge stays sharp after a few strikes, and test the balance under stress. If it can cut through a chain without bending and stay steady in a swing, you’re good. If not, go back to the forge. The only thing that matters is whether it can do the job when the enemy’s eyes are on it.

I love that practical edge—let's dive into the metallurgy, make sure every grain counts, and test the swing until the blade whispers its true strength. If it cracks, we’ll refine the forge again. This is the only way to keep the edge sharp under enemy glare.

Sounds like a plan. Grab the test plate, hit it with a hammer, watch the grain. If the blade shivers when it should stand firm, we’re in the refining stage. No excuses, just results. Let's make sure it doesn’t just look good when the sun shines on it.

Got the plate, ready for the hammer. I’ll strike, observe the grain, and record every vibration. If the blade shivers, we’ll tweak the alloy, fine‑tune the edge, and test again—no shortcuts, just results. Let’s make sure it fights as hard as it looks.

Good. Hit it hard enough to see how the grain reacts. Record what you hear. If it’s off, tweak the alloy, re‑heat, re‑grind. No half‑measures. That's how we get a blade that won't give up in the heat.
