interesting article, thanks.

the use of different steels and iron in different areas of the blade and the conclusion that some 'toledo' marked blades were actually made in solingen was interesting too.

sadly, i was looking thru a new catalogue from a spanish supplier and they are now proudly listing a spanish cup hilt rapier with a toledo stainless steel blade. how far the mighty have fallen.
