Personally I do not get this fascination with hardness. You can hurt or kill somebody with a plastic Biro. This one of my most favourite African pieces. Quite modest but so masterful. Tempered more than enough to damage a soft bodied creature. Just look at the beautiful forging like a sculptor working in a soft wax or clay. To me wonderful and perfect.
