African Brass dagger/Subsaharan

zalmoxis: nah, I'm in a post-soviet country called Hungary...

Where everyone who has more money than the average are hated more than killers. And it's not a joke that much.

Tim: Thank you very much! But why don't you make more? I mean, it's art, it seems like there somebody can afford it, I don't think you hate making such pieces...?

And back to on-topic

: I had a question regarding thickness in your brass dagger. Isn't 4.5mm too thin? My sparring daggers are usually a bit thicker, but they are heat-treated spring steel, and even then, they used to break sometimes, even as we don't use edge-to-edge parrying. So 4.5mm seems strange to me. Is it because it's expensible? That would seem strange, as making new blades, or reforging used ones after one or two battles is quite insane in a fuel-rich area like that.

Or am I wrong, and this would last long? But then, how?
