Watch out, guns. You're next.

It’s the plastic lower, isn’t it?

Katanas = queer swords

You slay, babe

What about Nodachi? Sephiroth used a Nodachi. If it's good enough for Sephiroth, or Cloud, it's good enough for me.

I seriously want Cloud's Sword Bike from Advent Children.

I'm guessing you don't have your foreskin?

Possibly? Or maybe people will think twice about deadnaming you.

That's nothin'! You wanna see some weird bombs? Watch this!

I didn't know you can forage for swords.

Didn’t say it was He Man singing, but yes, I got the song title wrong.

I'll admit my knowledge of metallurgy is informed by a background in welding, but it's my understanding that the colors on that blade can only happen with a large temperature difference between the middle and its ends, likely as a result of the maker using a benzene torch on it for a few minutes. This high heat is going to do the same thing to the blade as it does during welding: it fucks up the temper. Heat treating is more than just making the metal hot; you have to make it uniformely hot, for a specific amount of time, and then cool it gradually and under control. Doing that doesn't give you the pretty colors, but it does give you stronger metal.
