I'm thinking of buying a mid grade blade for show and only us my heavy grade when dueling.
This especially makes sense because mid-grade blades are usually brighter and sometimes have better color; the saber will look better even aside from the lack of marks on the blade.
I fixed this issue by purposefully marking the entire blade
That's... one way to do things, I guess?
That song "Word Crimes" has got me nervous about using the word "irony."
Ugh, the way people get bent out of shape about the word "irony" gets
me bent out of shape. (Ironic, isn't it?
)
