I am in full agreement with you,so are cheap knife's though.i knew a guy that got killed with a cheapo Pakistani knife to the kidney.the dull blade must of hurt double.id much rather confront a miscreant with a cheap sword against my good one than a cheap knife in the back in a dark alley.And if i get my druthers's,I'll die in peace and not ever have to worry with the miscreant's ever again.Ahh but i digress,good steel win's over cheap steel every time.Agreed.
If "most use" is defined as "cutting peanut butter sandwiches" most cheap knives are OK. BudK sells a lot of them!
My point was a cheap SWORD is truly dangerous to be around.

I don't care what kind of steel it is....

Agreed, the longer the blade the more the quality of the steel matters. This sword is from Kris Cutlery (in the Philippines I think), so not exactly a collector piece. It's made from folded-and-welded 1060 and 9250 steel with a cast brass hilt so it seems like a good user-grade sword. There are some positive reviews out there from those who test swords.

As for historicity, there are no extant iron or steel Celtic swords of this design. The existing Celtic swords with this leaf-shaped blade are bronze.

i find it interesting how much it resembles the roman Gladius.cool how cultures blend.i am working on getting to do some bronze casting,this would be a cool castWhere does knife end a sword begin? Because I'd have this:
This is a "Celtic short sword" with 20-inch blade. How Celtic it is may be debatable, of course, but a pretty nice piece of work in my opinion, and an effective zombie dispatcher.

There was a lot more intercultural transaction than we might think. Through war, economic trade, migration, and marriage, cultures in proximity to one another influenced one another significantly. It makes it quite difficult to define what something like "Celtic" means!
R.H.Ruana. This model was made 1962-64. I'm set.
I have a lot of knives but if I could only have one knife in an emergency it would be my Condor Bushlore. Good carbon steel in a handy size. Very tough and easy to sharpen!
As a fellow Tennessean I totally agree, but when crap hits the fan, it's always good to have a good sharp knife on your side.
or maybe I've just watched last of the Mohicans too many times.
