Broken Swords, Broken Promises: What the Lab Found and Path Forward

I recently sent a few sword samples off to a metallurgy lab for testing. The results showed that customers are not always getting what they pay for. In this video I cover the tests, how they work, what the results mean to me, and give the vendors impacted a chance to explain what they will do for customers and to move forward.
