Making the metal blades themselves would be another problem entirely... the few high-quality ones would be weapons of legend.

In regards to their technology in metalworking and the like. Yes. I agree. Currently their society is supposed to be TL 3. But I specifically noted that their TL in metalworking was TL 1. But this was during the time that I was still toying with the idea of them making some use of at least bronze, so I wanted them to know how to make the alloy, really. But now .. I think it's probably be better to have that set to TL 0 in metalworking. Thoughts? Make sense? The rare metal that might be around might only be able to be worked by rare people.. most folks will have never even encountered the stuff, let along interacted with it.
