I was practicing horizontal cut lately and could only cut at the most natural height. Thus I worked hard on it and gained a new insight. I put it to test on a 2.25" newspapers roll and proved successful. I could cut at the different sections of the newspaper roll. At last, I hit too low and I hit something hard.... I didn't stop and just finish the cut with full power. At first I thought I was just hitting the PVC tube, which wouldn't be a problem at all. However the last sound I heard the stainless steel part hitting the ground, which meant it was the highest flying item at the impact, taking most energy. I couldn't imagine what would happen to my sword if I hit that. I took it up and checked. My sword had penetrated the 2mm PVC tube and hit the 2.2mm thick, 3mm diameter circular metal wall. It left a 1mm deep, 1.5cm long scar on the metal and deformed its cylindrical as well. I checked my sword under light immediately and couldn't find any sign of whereabout I hit the metal with! Shown below were the photos of the metal part: The length of the cut The depth of the cut The thickness of the wall The deformation of the wall Now I was totally convinced that Deva Slayer was truly a battlefield, anti-armor sword.

WOW that is amazing that your sword didn't take any damage from that. That is quite the scar in the SS part.

Dang, apparently that Deva Slayer can give one heck of a beating. Remind me if I see one of those on a battlefield ... run.

If you pay attention, you'll notice that there's a cut on the SS part on the 4th pic at upper left corner. It was done by Windlass 15th century longsword and the sword chipped at the edge lightly.
Whadda difference!

Perhaps not stainless steel. I got suggestion on the material from various friends but still metal.

Glad to hear you didn't damage your sword, Lance.
