WraithsNinja Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Baltimore knife and sword advertises that their stage swords have a nice ring, which they do. My question is what make a sword ring better. Is it the type of metal, the temper, blade geometry, or magic invisible fairies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfootnampa Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Generally harder and stiffer steels will have more ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WraithsNinja Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 Hmmm I would think having a harder blade would be a bad idea for stage steel use. Thanks for the responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
