Cool foil bends Who can guess which forge made this blade? One try per person! See the attached picture. Please, request a bend and I'll post a picture for you. Please, don't request anything too hard like a pretzel though. The most complex I've succeeded in, is the creation of the triple s curve.

Sorry, nope. Good answer though, you can do some strange things with them too. Here is a hint: the actual height (not width) of this blade is fairly thin. It helps me create such artwork. The sweet is never sweet without the sour.

Sorry, its not aluminum foil haha, nice try Mr. Biggs. Ah, StM I like those blades and am very glad they don't do that yet.
How do I do this to a foil? hmm. Well, we've been to counseling together but the abuse just won't stop between it and I. The sweet is never sweet without the sour.

That's right, but wrong too! Is it from that forge? Yes. But it's not blue gauntlet!
Time for double jeopardy! The sweet is never sweet without the sour.

Nope, however I did own some of those. I threw them out before they even broke. Not absolute. There is ONE last name that comes from this forge. Not BG, not absolute. The sweet is never sweet without the sour.

Weeee've gotta winner!! The winner can challenge my blade bending abilities. Please describe what shape you would like, disarmedfae.
Don't worry, runner-up positions get a + rep for guessing the same forge. The sweet is never sweet without the sour.

So tell us your secret...How do you do that? I want to be remembered when I'm dead. I want books written about me. I want songs sung about me. And then, hundreds of years from now, I want episodes of my life to be played out weekly at half past nine by some great heroic actor of the age.

Disarmedfae! You live in Connecticut! That means not only do you get to see a question mark shaped foil, get a + rep, but also get to see this magnificent thing one day if I ever see you in a local tournament! Err, working on the question mark. It's gonna take a lot of strength.
Andrast vitesse, these blades, particularly this one. Are VERY soft. I'm not sure why this one does not really snap (and believe me I've tried breaking it). Maybe it has... lost it's temper?! I just yank on it with my foot holding it steady. One day I made a curve so severe that tip was nearly touching the bottom of my guard in a loop. Oh, in case you are wondering, which I'm sure you figured out by these pictures... don't by SG blades. They're just plain terrible. The sweet is never sweet without the sour.
