Also worth mentioning that blunts tend to have thinner edges than feders (especially ones like Ensifers with I-beam geometries), which means they’ll pick up nicks and dents faster.
As such, they also simply won’t last as long durability-wise, as more stress risers = higher risk of blade breakage

that Albion blunt messer is a loud bastard, isn’t it? lol

i'm constantly talking to the cat like "who's my little baby man? who's the cutest little pumpkin muffin in the whole wide world?" and he looks like this
They’re with RJ for sharpening, but they cut quite well even with Valiant’s normal edge

they also don’t seem to know that Spartan wealth tended to concentrate towards women and gave them tremendous political influence as well
This also brings forth the issue that the newton rating on most jackets are hardly ever actually tested/proven.
The rapier involved in this incident also had 11kg of flex, which I would say is on the stiffer end as far as I could tell. A couple of other makes we tested each had less than half.

orange cream cat zonked out asleep with his tongue sticking out
he LOVES to fall asleep like this
So, those little pits shouldn’t be failure points since they’re fairly far in the flat rather than on the edge. Not a place where a stress riser can pop up
You’d get similar pitting if a blade rusted on you, but in most cases that’s not a structural cause for concern either.
you what
big orange cat eating an absolute ton of catnip off the floor
i tried to let him smell the big new catnip container and instead he put his paw in it and scooped out an absolutely irresponsible amount

i love that he is loved so much
we basically did pulling any that were sus and needing to be rerolled
All mats for SoCal Swordfight have been rolled.

ya, lock in, we’re doing gold stake black deck on balatro
he is so comfy
It’s all new tatami, so it just smells like hay rather than feet sweat.
It’s not too bad. It does trigger my allergies after a while, though.
