I use reneissance wax on the edge just in case. I think this weapon has the potential to be the most lethal if it's grinded to a proper edge.. it is brutal as Ithildin stated earlier.

Oh, and United hated having to call this thing a 'Scimitar'. It couldn't be further from one, but that's what Weta labelled it, and that's what they insisted it be sold as.

I've never done anything to mine and it looks the exact same as it did nearly 15 years ago when it came out. If anything it looks a little rustier, which is awesome.

Yep, the rustier the better for this one.

A scimitar traditionally has a much slender and longer blade, and has a very characteristic curve to it.
