Swords testing day

Cutting pork arms is a task that is very demanding on the swords' quality and the swordsman's skill.

The pork bone has calcified since the cease of bloodflow, rendering it much harder than the living bone tissues, surpassing the hardness of human bones. In addition, the pork arms are not heavy in weight. Combining the lightweight and high hardness, pork arms are very difficult to cut.

There are not many swords that can withstand cutting pork arms without suffering any edge damages.

Hence, Lancelot Chan tested a handful of swords to find out which one would survive intact.
