Not sure what the copyright laws are so I'll hedge by saying I'm trying to model special steel weapons from a popular fantasy book series & TV adaptation. In the series it mentions that they are rare, hideously expensive, cut thru regular steel armor easily, are lighter than normal weapons of their type and never need sharpening.

So, my plan was to use "superfine" which is fine and very fine combined from low tech (I know they're normally mutually exclusive), plus the "expensive" trait which increases cost further, lowers weight and would for this purpose grant a 2 armor divisor.

This makes knives, short swords and such achievable for rich characters, but bastard swords and the like will be costly.

A superfine, balanced, expensive long knife is $4860 and weighs 1lb. A similar bastard sword is $26,325 and weighs 3.33lbs.

Thoughts?
