To create an excellent cold weapon, a swordsmith is to achieve two goals: the blade must be sharp but, simultaneously, it should not be brittle. However, these two ends contradict each other.

Using ductile steel allows to achieve durability, but the swords made from soft, malleable steel grow blunt very soon.
