First and foremost, the sword must be made from suitable steel. There are some alloys that are suitable for making a sword and some that aren’t. For instance, 440 steels are not suitable for making a real sword, whereas alloys in the 10XX class, like 1045, 1055 and 1095 are. Some tool steels, like T10, are, whereas others actually have too much carbon and therefore are too brittle.
