You can't fix Stupid, but you can occasionally head it off before it hurts something.

Re: Swords.......
Interesting video about British historical new swords and refurbishment of old ones. The new engraving part went pretty fast to understand what they are doing. I'd think a "real" , perhaps presentation sword would be an actual engraving work of art by an actual engraving artist like the engraving on a custom Colt revolver from the glory days of Colt. I got a , just for fun, Indian made officers sword of the 1860's copy, US or European, with just for fun looking engraving. More like paint applied and left missing where the engraved lines should be...not engraving at all. Looks like from the video what they are doing is maybe use of paint over acid cuts to look like engraving all laid out by computer.
Maybe I should watch it again but it's late.
