David,

Is it just a coincidence that you and Adriano are writing about swords now -- when some Texans have already begun to celebrate Texas Sword Day? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdsmDuoko8s

Nothing worse than a soiled sword.

I was at Wilkinson’s factory.  They had agreed to lend a sword to some charity thing that involved an assault on the Guinness World Record Apple Pie.  In went the sword, challenging some pie that was twenty feet across.  Out came a ruined blade.  Apple acids do not improve a steel balde.

No doubt that’s what you had in mind.

David
