BRITISH SWORD PROOF
The British proof test for swords is a historical method used to ensure the durability and reliability of military swords. This test was used to evaluate the sword's strength, flexibility, and sharpness. Here are the main steps involved in the British proof test:
-
Flexibility Test: The sword is bent to a certain angle (usually around 30 degrees) to check its flexibility. It should return to its original shape without any permanent deformation.
-
Hardness Test: The edge of the sword is struck against a hard surface to ensure it doesn't chip or break. This tests the sword's hardness and ability to maintain a sharp edge.
-
Cutting Test: The sword is used to cut through a variety of materials, such as rope, leather, or metal rods. This demonstrates the sword's sharpness and cutting efficiency.
-
Thrust Test: The sword is thrust into a target, such as a wooden block, to test its penetration ability and the strength of the blade's point.
These tests were conducted by skilled armorers to ensure that swords met the rigorous standards required for military use. The British proof test was essential for maintaining the quality and reliability of swords used by soldiers in battle and is STILL standard procedure for Windlass Sabers.
