metal is actually aware, so when ingot is made it needs to be bounded to a person before making it into an item, magical smithing.metal ore is of low quality it requires strong furnaces, large quantity of wood, no nearby forest. blacksmiths don't have a skill to actually make a sword or it is unwieldy - too heavy, sword easily broken, but looks cool, they can make you a knife or a scissors.blacksmiths are under religious geas/order to make no edge in metal products, so cups are ok, blades are not, nails probably not.Anything longer then a knife is hard to make, even harder to find a rock that big, plus lots of waste, look into Flintknapping. There wasn't any obsidian swords, closest is Macuahuitl, which is wooden core with attached obsidian pieces. You might expect high ranking knight to have it, bandit wouldn't. How prohibitive is price, consider nobility/rich would have access to top priced goods, while 90% would not. What level of metallurgy, history tells us first was copper then bronze, then iron and steel. We also encourage users to register an account.

The creation of new worlds and new universes has long been a key element of speculative fiction, from the fantasy works of Tolkien, Le Guin and Howard, to the science-fiction universes of Burroughs, Delany and Asimov, and to the tabletop realm of Gygax, Barker and Greenwood, and beyond. Though apparently, it's popular for the naturalist crowd to use as a field dressing implement that never needs sharpening, so long as you avoid bones. I think a large enough piece to be held, and worked with, and not shatter in use would be too unwieldy for modelling purposes. that's pretty damned neat! However, it is a form of glass, so will tend to break and shatter with use, especially if you made it thin enough to model with. I didn't realize it shears to molecular edges. No flex, but cuts mild steel like proverbial butter.ĮDIT: You know what? I should check google *before* answering. If you want a knife that should stay sharp "forever", look for a carbide blade. Which loops back to Obsidian, which I think is volcanic glass? So I'm not sure if it would be harder than stainless, which is fairly hard. Keeps it's scraping edge better than plastic, but won't scratch your glass. So if you use a scraper on your car window for frost / snow, try to find a scraper blade made from brass. Broken glass is sharp, but if you scrub it on steel you will dull the glass.įun fact, brass is softer than glass. Harder materials hold their shape better, so will be "sharp" longer. No particular material should be sharper than others. My thumbs and fingers tend to agree, as when I was younger I *didn't* afford to buy new blades, and wound up with thumbprints that looked like checkerboards. I'm told a sharp knife is safer, due to using less force, you're in better control.
