To say the least. We were blown away by its performance. Bending anything that far that is hardened without breaking or at least having some kind of damage is unreal. Beating a cement block, chopping wood, water bottles and chopping another steel sword should have had some effect but it kept taking what we feed it. There was no resharpening or stropping for these test...same edge for all. We both thought it would be a performer but the surprise was in how much abuse this blade took and it continued to out performed even our expectations.

It was also a blast to use and I love delivering on the Performance to Price Ratio...kind of my thing <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
