[Steppes] Toledo Swords / Damascene

[Glen Wilkerson]

Sorry Jon, and everyone else - these aren't damascus, or even good
damascene.  I have had long experience with these swords - they are very
beautiful to look at, wonderfully crafted, but they ARE NOT in any way,
shape, or form "battle ready" as the catalog advertizes.  They are very
expensive, decorative, but totally useless otherwise, wall-hangers.
