Can great slice be accomplished on a non-special metals broadsword? I have a bastard sword that has great slice on the HE side, but I'm wondering about a broadsword. If so, how's it turn out?

I weep for the slightly more dull edge on my broadsword than my bastard sword.

so, it's an old Gurt blade but not sure how special it is.

You can hit great slice on a broadsword with normal metals at 40 stones, using a lot of dust.

>using a lot of dust.
Does the excess end-dust (above 2.5%carbon) lead to easier grinding?

Generally. That's how folks achieve the G/S 28 stone bastie. Whatever you do, though, don't try to make sense out of why some things work in the forging system and some things don't. It's just a big mess, really.

I dunno Fuquois, I'd use the broad over the bastie. These days I prefer impact if I've got at least heavy slice, maybe I fight too many things in heavy armor.
