I can’t see those nor anything else from i.imgur.com as they won’t allow me to access their site. I get:
This site can’t be reached i.imgur.com refused to connect.

Makes no difference. I cannot even connect to i.imgur.com/ . I get the same message regardless. Thanks anyway.

did you add the https:// ? right click, copy address. Not highlight just back to the i and copy the text.
Seems like an issue you may have with imgur and your browser.
It was a joke anyway, so do disregard if you care to.

I teach sharpening to paid students. So I have a sharpening tutorial. I use diamond sharpener like Atoma and DMT. Yes I can sharpen inexpensive swords too but the better the edge retention ability a sword has, the finer I can finish the edge apex at. Less quality swords will usually find their apex finished slightly thicker because of that. Practice cutting with realistic targets will give realistic feedback on what a technique could do. The feedback will be different with different sharpness. When one tries to force a less sharp sword to work on the target without fighting context in mind, the technique will then become distorted as a result. Is it a video tutorial,,, if so, can you share a link?? Or do you just mean you have a curriculum. ??

Technique =/= Sharpness Suggesting that any amount of technique can functionally substitute for a properly sharpened blade is ludicrous. Talking about technique in the context of blade sharpness, at all, just unnecessarily obfuscates the topic. Technique is a property of a person. Sharpness is a property of a blade. ...and I swear...if someone suggests that they can manipulate their ki to make a sword effectively sharper...I will find a way to reach through my computer screen and slap them. I have to argue in favor of "chi sharpening". Metal is an interesting material that is always transferring energy across it's mass. It shares electrons and magnetism, it's molecular structure is always in flux, but something else that relates, is that at the edge of the blade is "loose metal". At the edge is the weakest part of the blade, and because of this a lot of the edge is wearing away, but staying where it is. Using energy which our body unquestionably does produce, it is imaginable to both strengthen the metal, and to align the dust along the edge more perfectly. So in science, you should be able to control your brain and metabolism to produce energy that makes the edge literally more well aligned (sharp), and more solid (for more efficient transfer of energy to the edge) which will also result in the effect of sharp, and you should ALSO be able to produce these effects with a machine. and if I'm not mistaken, although I can't possibly reference a source, there ARE machines that work on these principles.

I’ll break out my other computer NLT this weekend and give it a go.
