Hello, Robert,

Thanks. I think my grandson was no more surprised than I was! It was the first time I'd tried a trick like that-- cutting a piece of regular paper. The blades are made in Longquan, the town's craftsmen forging them continuously for 1,300 years... which actually goes back to the original Type 1 Sarmatian swords. That fact, I find historically connective. And of course, I never actually thought a sword could shave through anything as light as a sheet of writing paper.

The "gems" on the swords are called "aventurine," a lot like jade yet less expensive. The red stones? I don't know, maybe Indic garnets. If so, then they are technically accurate.

Confused
