[@miguelgarcialopez140]

In fact, the sword he made is useless, it has several cracks and was badly tempered... if you hit it with something solid it will break, and if you do a flexibility test it will surely bend or break. It is only used for display or cutting very soft objects.

[@JasonSmith-jj9hq]

[@hallofguns8174]

As a gun lover, it broke my heart to see a restorable Martini Henry destroyed. The end result was cool, just sad to see the rifle gone. Also for the before and after at the end, you showed a Mauser bolt action instead of the Martini Henry. You may have mixed up some footage.

[@KristiLEvans1]

Interesting. I thought I was losing my mind when I saw the bolt at the end.

[@KristiLEvans1]

And well… restorable, but at very, very high cost. And those types of restorers are rare and scattered. The owner may not have been able to invest, but wanted to keep some portion of the relic - with new life - in the family. Moreover, they just aren’t worth as much as it would cost to restore it. Likely, by a wide margin.

[@Do_High_Go]

Yeah, a Katana's curve comes from the quenching, because of the different hardness of steel created by the procedure that makes the Hamon. When quenched it curves, it is not made curved, the curve is technically a defect caused by the Hamon. There was a guy that was making some sword and his sword was curving mysteriously, until he got what was happening and he made a reverse curve in the original blade, and when quenched it became straight.
