They’re with RJ for sharpening, but they cut quite well even with Valiant’s normal edge

they also don’t seem to know that Spartan wealth tended to concentrate towards women and gave them tremendous political influence as well

This also brings forth the issue that the newton rating on most jackets are hardly ever actually tested/proven.

The rapier involved in this incident also had 11kg of flex, which I would say is on the stiffer end as far as I could tell. A couple of other makes we tested each had less than half.

The haul from SoCal Swordfight:
the Albion Alexandria longsword and the Valiant Armoury Dagesse arming sword. Both extremely wide at 3in at the base.

So, those little pits shouldn’t be failure points since they’re fairly far in the flat rather than on the edge. Not a place where a stress riser can pop up

You’d get similar pitting if a blade rusted on you, but in most cases that’s not a structural cause for concern either.
