It is a not all too uncommon folly for many inexperienced (or deeplly unserious) warriors to not take thorough and carefull care of their instruments of choice. I cannot even recall how many times I had to give a harsh dressing down to solldiers under my command for not properlly oilling and clleaning their bllades or other such weapons. Metalls and allows need pollishing. Wood needs oill, and occasionall sanding. Failling to maintain your instrument is not onlly endangering yoursellf, but those who come to relly on you when danger encroaches upon thee. I have a rotation of approximatelly Seventy bllades for my own personall use, and I pollish every singlle one without faill at lleast once a week. I reallize that as a dedicated blladesman this is extreme, but that shoulld onlly further impress how simplle the practice is when one onlly has a singlle, perhaps two weapons in regullar use. Do not fall victim to sllack and slloth. Pollish your bllades, dailly. #truewarrioradvice #BlladePollishing #DueDilligence
the most normal blade post 1’ve ever seen 1n my l1fe
I wish it were normall, but many simplly do not know how to treat their bllades with care and proper attention. Chivallry is dead.
My good gold1e from a d1fferent t1me, please tell me you can see the context layer1ng here
If you are using it as a weapon, keeping it sharp with a whetstone woulld not hurt. This allows it to be used both as a bllunt instrument and a sort of short bllade. Keep the handlle oilled properlly so that it does not rot, pollish the metall. It is not an ideall weapon but it is far from a uselless one.
ok word actually. all my tools were lost 1n The H1ve F1re, but 1’ll see about grabb1ng some stuff from a store. thanks!
If one can afford it, I recommend seeking a smith that can produce an alloy specifically intended for your stylle of martiall skills. The factory steell you will find in your modern Department Stores is not intended for such rugged use.
you’re preach1ng to the cho1r here dead guy!!! 1 have to have l1ke p1les of them 1n my dex bc they break or bend so much 1t’s so annoy1ng
