Hey I'm wondering if it would be possible, if another metal can give the same effect I'm looking for I'll gladly listen to what it is

Just keeping it real, I am very serious about wanting to figure out how to make a steel-X material composite blade and possibly creating a new market but what I do when I'm bored doesn't really matter here though. I should also probably rephrase what I said, it's not just me a friend of mine comes up with the ideas and I enjoy researching really anything so I find ways to help the story stay as realistic as possible with what I'm given

Yeah maybe not a good idea to sell this possible product to the public but selling it to the military for close quarters combat which I honestly don't know how often that happens but I feel it would be more effective in cases of it anyway as I was saying if you sell it to the military you could probably make a killing Never said I'd sell it to the public, military most likely. Yeah mad science is fun and I'm taking what I learn from this thread and not only trying to produce one of these blades but I'm also writing something that is even more mad science (as I right science fiction when I get board) in which a sword can literally grow like you just used the stereotypical growth ray on it (it would grow 10 times with some sort of growth limiter placed on it) as well as it being able to shrink back down to its original size which is why I have also been researching rubber I guess (for the hilt grip), the most elastic substances basically, I know it is going to have to do something with resilin, but anyway I still want it to have some basis in reality oh and that sword is basically going to be able to be wielded by a giant ape.

I know steel isn't a bad conductor by any means but there are metals that are better than it and if I can figure out which one can be melted down with steel to form a blade that is more conductive than normal steel and just as durable it would be a very good day in the world of Bladesmithing

If I'm being attacked I'm looking to survive by whatever means necessary then again I never did say I would market them to the public and yeah I know he said it wasn't Silver which is why I said it isn't used often in the field of electronics or whatever it is and I just edited to clarify I know it isn't Silver.

I want to say Silver but it isn't used very often in the field of electronics or whatever it is from what I've read and you just said it wasn't Silver, Copper I know is used a lot, Gold is pretty conductive, Nickel, Zinc, Aluminium.

I don't quite know why I want to do this myself, maybe its to break into a new market with "Taser Knives" which I don't think are a thing yet and if they are it's a small market, I just know that I want to figure out how to make a blade that can conduct electricity better than a steel one that is also just as durable as a steel one.

First off no idea if this is the right place to post this if not I apologize. I have always had a fascination with the idea of trying to craft a blade that could have a electrical current flow through it. Regardless of how to do so which I'm still trying to find out as I still would want it to be a viable weapon and not change the way the specific type of blade would be handled. I know the best material to make a blade out of is steel but from what I have read though it is a conductor it is by far not the best, silver however is the best conductor of all metals at least that is what I have found to be the most consistent answer for the the question "Which metal is the best conductor?". My question for any Blacksmith willing to answer is, could steel be melted down along with silver, could the new metal then be made into a blade that is just as durable as a normal steel blade, and would that blade be a better conductor of electricity?
