If you could have one thing from the props.....

The thing that one should understand about the Sting replicas, is that they are a fantasy knife. Because of this they do not make the blades with many other metals besides SS, such as the high-carbon blades for tactical and fighting knives. They also are not meant for every day use. I for one do not have enough money to take my replica out and perform a destruction test on it. I do know from experiance from other knives made out of the relatively same materials that it more than likely would shatter at the base of the blade if you tried to see how flexible it is. Also, with such a thick blade (1/4") it probably wouldn't flex no matter what metal it was made from.
