Re: [RBW] Re: Crabon forks are not your best bet for swordfighting
The funny thing is that a friend of mine was involved in some sword crafting and sparring with Neal and others over the past 7 or 8 years now. They started out by building a lot of their swords and armor out of carbon fibre, but have since gone to steel due to failures. I don't have much more info than that, but carbon as an impact material is not as resilient as our friend steel. Now someone can shoot that down, I'm sure :) Brian Seattle, WA On Tuesday, September 16, 2014 7:39:11 PM UTC-7, Andrew Marchant-Shapiro wrote: Anyone told Neal Stephenson about this? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
