Randy,
I'd still be suspect. Why not just buy a Busse AK-47? It isn't traditional, but none of the swords we're discussing are (no folded steel, etc). With the AK47 Battle Grade you 100% know you could but a car in half. I know its only has a 18.5" blade, but if you really want a TEOTW sword ... we both know there isn't a more durable steel than Busse heat-treated 92100 (SR101) or INFI.

ETA: Busse still has the AK on their website.
