Last _{I still prefer champagne to prosecco} Post

[Swatopluk]

I can do without either of those.

Last Is you blade austenitic, Sir? Post

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

My blade is incredibly cheap so I don't think they used fancy steel for it.

Last _{if I get one it likely be Damascus steel which if I infer correctly wouldn't be austentic} Post

[Swatopluk]

Well, authenticity may beat austenite-ity

Last _{only true with hammer marks} Post

Last _{sword vs scalpel?} Post

[Griffin NoName]

Last _{sword in the stone} Post

[Swatopluk]

A scalpel would be useful for close combat only while a really good sword could be used in a medical emergency too.

Last _{But maybe not ideal for the extraction of stones} Post

Last _{will a scalpel pass through chainmail?} Post

Last _{will a scalpel pass through chainmail?} Post

Depending on the type that is quite possible. Not in the sense of cutting through it but getting in between the rings. So, definitely through lighter version. But there are also very dense ones that are essentially double layer and should be scalplel proof.

Last _{better go for the eyes} Post

[Griffin NoName]

Last _{better wear your visor} Post

[Swatopluk]

But (since there was no transparent armor material then) there are enough holes in the visor to get through.

Knights wore special daggers (so-called misericordes) for that very purpose
