Glass-Reed sounds delicate until you see the blade flex through a hard bind and come back straight. Kethline diffusion-bonds a translucent ceramic skin over a narrow steel core, then balances each sword with removable pommel wafers matched to the buyer’s hand. The skin resists rust and takes a murderous polish, but it hates edge-on-edge abuse. A careless beat can start a white fracture bloom near the guard; keep fencing and that pretty surface peels away in flakes sharp enough to ruin a sleeve.
Registered dueling arm; carrying it into arbitration chambers or court decks is a criminal offense.
