First test cutting with the bronze Budget Kopesh by Neil Burridge

http://www.bronze-age-swords.com/Egyptian_and%20_Near_East.htm Some test cuts on an acorn squash, a soaked newspaper roll with wood core (tougher to cut than tatami mats), and sugar cane (which is an interesting, resilient test cutting medium). The kopesh is an ancient Egyptian weapon, made of bronze and has a hammer hardened edge.
