We went to Medieval Times Show in Schaumburg today. THey gave us some yummy medieval food, such as chicken, and had a show of sword fighting. Since the kids were interested, I wanted to impress them with something. So out of a 1/2" steel rod (likely cold rolled) I forged a kids sword. While I did sharpen the edges to give it a realistic look, I intentionally left all edges very dull, as is suitable for a kids toy. This is a present for my older son, who will sharpen it when he gets older. Then it will be a real weapon. The handle is made from rosewood.
