Sorry.
I'm going to get someone to make me a proper cutlass- not out of e45 (is that the one?) sprung, just normal stainless I think. So not battle ready, but pretty.

there was a whole medieval marketplace in one of the little courtyards, and there was a big blacksmith's stall where they made knives, swords, axes and such before your very eyes, using old methods. It was fucking excellent. I stood there for quite a while watching a bloke make a scary looking knife.

If it looks like it'll kill me, I want to play with it. This includes sharks, tigers, bears, crocodiles, combine harvesters and ebola.

anything made of 440 stainless will keep nice. Just don't try edge fighting with it.

Truth be told The only good place for 400 stainless is on the wall as display ( and it is why there will never be an import issue with them as they are ornaments )
But at least have the sense to find a full tang blade if you plan on waving it around.
The spot welded Yank stuff is horrific.
