Steel Medieval

Steel Medieval
What is a good metal or element that would have made a good medieval weapon?

We know stone, bronze, iron and a steel alloy were all, at one point in history, used to make weapons such as swords and spears. However, we know now of many more metals and elements that we did not know of 2000 years ago.

With that said, other then bronze iron or steel, what metal or element would make a good, sturdy sword or shield?

We have also learned that it isn’t just WHAT something is made of but HOW it is made.

You can take the exact same steel and make a katana in the traditional way vs. in a factory setting but you will most certainly get two very different blades.

What is the application of the blade or shield? Some shields deflect blows while some stop arrows. Some blades are used for cooking while others are used for combat.

A titanium shield might be a good choice. Light and resists impacts and cutting well. It gives enough to not be destroyed by other cutting impliments.

A diamond sword would shatter and be quite useless as would emerald or jade for the same purpose.

Gold would be hacked apart and bend in either application as it is a soft metal.

And a copper blade making any incision would not be present long enough to leave any traces enough to cause poisoning as an FYI.
