Any idea on Rockwell hardness?

Sorry 91wm6, I don't have an accurate reading for this blade. :[ Based on previously tested blades, it should be somewhere around 45-50 the HRc range, harder on the edge than the spine. This one is medium in stiffness/hardness as compared to other finished pieces.

I own a sword from Mad Science Forge. Sam does awesome work and i can NOT break my sword --- and it is not from lack of trying ---i have been PUNISHING my piece of beta TI and it just laughs.

don't put much stock in the HRC of this stuff. It's incredibly abrasion resistant and holds a good edge well. Not to mention its anti corrosive properties.
$1200 is a great price for a 'lifetime' sword like this!

Many of my blades are designed like mega-tough machetes, but this sword is made more like a weapon. To keep the blade in beautiful shape, adhere to the ninja sword do's and don'ts!

Ninja sword DO's:
-Cut/stab targets such as plastic bottles and cartons, green tree branches, saplings and other vegetation, meat, soft wood, etc. Anything you can actually cut in a swing or three.
-Practice sword arts
-Gain a comforting sense of confident badassery knowing your lightning-quick sword is at hand.
-Lovingly maintain a sharp edge on your sword

Ninja sword DON'Ts:
-Repeatedly hit the sword as hard as you can into huge, dry hardwood logs
-Beat the sword into large solid objects that can't be cut, such as boats, or stab car doors and/or cut metal unless necessary
-Dispatch of infuriating electronics such as malfunctioning laptops, cathode-ray tube TVs, and the neighbor's overly-sensitive car alarm.
-Worry about breaking this fantastically tough, flexible and impact-resistant piece of edged metal.

Actually, you can do the don'ts if you wish, but you could chip or maybe roll/warp the edge on that sort of thing, and frankly the sword isn't made for that. No sword is, except maybe those Zombie Tools, those things are a hoot.

Thanks Lorien et. al. It's is sure to be a fine-performing blade, but it boils down to who must have a ninja sword the most!
