Hence my interest in any remaining (unsharpened) blades. I'd love to have something that looks like a Gloranthan (bronze) weapon but is practical to actually use in a fight without turning into a saw in the first 5 minutes. The best I'd seen so far was taking a steel blade and coppering it.
2mm edge and a rounded tip would be ideal, bu I bet I'm not going to be lucky there?
