This has bothered me always with, for example, the Deepeeka blades. Is it really too expensive to make blades with untempered sof steel with a solid, strong tang? Now the blades are too brittle ( do they contain chromium etc.?) with often welded on weak rat-tail tangs. Even if they are not meant to be battle-ready they should be stronger, just for the safety`s sake...
