Dress up as Gloria Estafan and Mime this Song - Gloria Estefan - Turn The Beat Around -Remix- https://www.mgtow.tv/v/xWxqng

It's one of the songs that is so perfect that I can't think of anyway to improve it.... and any improvement - would start to fuck it...

Damascus steel..... Hmmmmm it was an idea and a solution for it's time.... I'd like hot electro / vapour deposition in an intert gas chamber under high vacuum.... iron, tungsten, iron, carbon, iron, vanadium, each layer a 3 to 5 microns.... and just build the layers up, if it's all done right, you will end up with a homgenous fused solid metal block

@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: Hmmm. Dhe old. Good singer. LikevMadonna, I'd bet she gave good head. Geot her grandaughter or grandson to dress up... I was thinking remember Family Guy's Blue Harvest? He had z butter knife light saber. It toadted ghe bread when you cut it. So, I'm like give me one of these Samurai hard to core tradition heavy samurai makers-- get him to make a couple of cooking knives. Then, use the thumb samurai to cut bread... then stab it to put in the toaster. Carrot is pissing you ? Depaitatebitbwithba samurai rocker... like it was bamboo... Lol!

@WMHarrison94: Samurai swords are not that hard to make..... But all the old blade making skills, by hand, are dissipating from the population, as very good quality mill steels are being rolled out by the ton... You can buy 2 meters of a particular grade of steel, and with appropriate grinding and heat treatment - especially if automated on a production line, to make swords every bit as good as the traditionally made swords.

This is more of an aside than a full answer (but too long and with links not well handled by comments), but it is worth noting that the traditional Katanas evolved in a region where the naturally available iron was both rarer than in many areas in Europe and of lower quality. While the famed folding process does have other effects, one of the most significant was that it helped remove impurities and helped more evenly distribute carbon. In other words, they were essentially making steel.The difference between steel and iron in terms of producing a weapon is enormous. For just one thing, iron tends to be more brittle. This means that it fails, and does so catastrophically, more easily than steel does. But of course, there are numerous different grades of steel. It is too simplistic to say that one grade of steel is simply better than another, but some are clearly more suited to certain purposes than others. To make a long story short, we can make vastly superior steel now with modern processes (and do so more consistently) than traditional Japanese sword-smithing did.So, where my answer is incomplete is that I do not have a full answer as to whether there is a fully modern process that will produce one that was as effective, but I have a few comments. First, let me point out that you haven't defined "effective for what?" (And neither saying "killing" nor "warfare" is precise enough). Weapons, including swords, are products of their environment. You cannot readily say that a rapier is more effective than a greatsword or vice versa without precisely specifying the environment you are talking about. A greatsword is much more effective at fighting knights in full-plate than a rapier is, especially in a many-on-many scenario. On the other hand, if you are talking about a one-on-one duel between opponent wearing no armor, I would rather have the rapier. Even going back to feudal japan as our context, it is worth remember that Samurai often treated the katana as a sidearm and dueling weapon and often carried either a Yumi (bow) or a Yari (spear) as a primary weapon into warfare. Now, almost without concern for the exact definition of "effective", superior metallurgy would give the modern swordmaker with modern techniques an enormous advantage. This is such a huge advantage that even if the modern technique were otherwise inferior to the traditional way that I suspect the answer would be "Yes, modern techniques would be more effective". But I do not have any specific citations for that and any more comprehensive examination would require defining precisely "effective for what" or perhaps "effective against what".
