Watch out, guns. You're next.

It’s the plastic lower, isn’t it?

I'm guessing you don't have your foreskin?

Katanas = queer swords

You slay, babe

What about Nodachi? Sephiroth used a Nodachi. If it's good enough for Sephiroth, or Cloud, it's good enough for me.

I seriously want Cloud's Sword Bike from Advent Children.

Possibly? Or maybe people will think twice about deadnaming you.

That's nothin'! You wanna see some weird bombs? Watch this!

I didn't know you can forage for swords.

Didn’t say it was He Man singing, but yes, I got the song title wrong.

I'll admit my knowledge of metallurgy is informed by a background in welding, but it's my understanding that the colors on that blade can only happen with a large temperature difference between the middle and its ends, likely as a result of the maker using a benzene torch on it for a few minutes. This high heat is going to do the same thing to the blade as it does during welding: it fucks up the temper. Heat treating is more than just making the metal hot; you have to make it uniformely hot, for a specific amount of time, and then cool it gradually and under control. Doing that doesn't give you the pretty colors, but it does give you stronger metal.
