I think you talk like you're 12.

Show us a pic of the "tungsten" sword stuck in a rock or come up with something that's at least plausible.

Put up or shut up is what we all have been telling you.

We aren't a bunch of children sitting around playing World of Warcraft or whatever, making up sick pretend weapons to impress other children.

Put up or SHUT UP.

That's what I thought. What fight? You make a ridiculous claim and when asked to prove it you make excuses and finally when called in simple plain terms pretend indignation.

My bet is we aren't the only people who don't believe you.

Now, Please keep your input to yourself, it's worth no more than your word. ZERO.

If on the other hand you post a picture of this super sword stuck in a rock, heck even something that can possibly be mistaken for a sword stuck in a rock I will publicly apologize to you.

Go ahead, put me in my place, show us all you are telling the truth. Or be quiet.

Amazing how easily riled grown men (including experts) can get over something as silly as this :D

just to play devil's advocate ;)

I suppose what DM saw could've been a crack in the stone (maybe it was a lump of concrete cast around the base of the sign?). The sword happened to hit the crack with enough force that it lodged in it. Not actually cutting the stone, but fitting into a slot already there and sticking due to eihter metal burring over or crushed stone dust?

anyway, I've always assumed the 'sword in teh stone' myth to be a hangover from bronze swords being cast in stone molds. If you don't get the casting out in tme the sword shrinks and grips the inside of he mold and thus is stuck in the stone. I did originally hear the theory fromthe same bloke (I suspect), but I've heard it since and having done a little casting it makes sense.

We have some of those here, they look like stone, but we actually use them for basketballs, they are light and soft and easily cut with a sword, as are the cardboard stop signs they use in my neighborhood. :cool:

First the grader blade sword: You just cut a groove in it? With what? If the sword is harder than anything except diamonds, what else could cut it with? Did you swipe mama's wedding ring?

Tunsten Sword: As JPH said pure tungsten is not particularly hard. Tungsten Carbide is extremely hard and extremely brittle. No toughness in this material and it really cannot be forged. It must be sintered to shape from powdered metal dust.

The problem with making up a WHOPPING big fib just to get attention on the internet is that you are usually caught in your own ignorance and shown to be either childish or just foolish.

I suggest we create a new posting catagory: "Humor" and put these sword posts there.

First you state

Ive seen a broad sword make from completely Tungsten


then follow with this excuse

well then its proberly Tungsten carbon i don't know if its PURE tungsten or if it Tungsten carbide i was just told that its made from tungsten.


now you guess its a soft stone? Is that like your statement of soft stop sign steel, or was it cardboard? I have never been to NZ so maybe they do have cardboard signs there, I will ask a hobbit next time I see one.

Dmike, you were doing better but it seems you have insisted on posted silliness again. If the materials were unknown to you, why try to come off as knowing what is was. Gzzzz. Guessing does not help anyone learn, without tested proofs of a theory its just opinion.

And some members complain when I try to clear up this sites confusing or screwy posts? I guess some like having to sift through nonsense, even when it causes people to miss the intent of a post and have trouble. Edited by steve sells

Wow.
I cannot believe I just read through all of the newest posts to this stupid thread. For crying out loud.
1) who cares?
2) who cares?
3) who cares?
OK, we have established that trying to cut a stone with a sword, dagger, razor blade, nail clippers, sheep shear and any other edged THING mostly likely will not work and does not merit any more effort.
Also, we has established there might be some misinformation to the providence of the tungsten sword. It also falls under the heading of who cares.
I call shenanigans on the whole thread and am sorry I have even bothered stopping by.

you always tell me to read the threads and postings properly so i can absorb all the info,now i think its your turn,im not having a go at you but you seriously miss alot of the things i say,if you can recall i said i dont know exactly what type of tungsten it is,i was told by the guy who made it that it was Tungsten he is my friend and i trust his judgement so dont be like this to me just because i trust what he says is true,but if you guys have such a problem with this whole thing then ill phone the guy and ask him what it is and if its pure or if its W carbide,and as to the rock it went into im not a rock specialist so i dont know if its soft or very hard but id take it that its not a hard rock because i agree with you people that if it was a very hard rock then the sword probly would have just stopped or exploded,as to the stop sign its made from steel and thats normally the thing we test swords on,obvioulsy the signs are old ones that we have been given to use for our cause.if there is another bad coment thrown towards me ill simply just ignor this thread.As i said ill get a pic of this sword and the rock the next time im there in that area.

Dead horses remain dead even when kicked.........K
Boy: This equine is truly deceased . Gone to that great paddock in the sky . No amount of pummeling will serve to revive it.

We believe, but it does seem a unusual and we wish to learn more about this sword. I was the one that requested photos so we could better understand what and how this event occurred.

Later you posted.
Well as i said next time im in that area of the contry ill get a pic 4 sure.


Please email me the photos. Till that time I see no reason to continue the thread.
