Are Real Swords more Fragile than You Think?
Find part 2 of this discussion here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uHLt7uFuj4
Real-life (sadly) isn't quite like the legends or movies, where magical swords go through dozens or even hundreds of battles or duels, while staying pristine and unscathed.
I had an interesting chat with @scholagladiatoria about the kinds of damage we see (or don't) in historical originals. This is a topic I haven't seen covered a whole lot, outside of edge vs. flat parry debates.

13:02 - 14:54 "Recycling" & re-forging broken blades
14:54 - 16:34 It will happen anyway
16:34 - Why are so many swords even edged all the way?
