In fact the 440 steels will hold an edge better than some current Spanish steels...

Pirates of the Caribbean Jack Sparrow Ring Replica The moment Captain Jack Sparrow sailed into our consciousness in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Search for the Black Pearl, the dashing daredevil captured not just ships and treasures but also our imaginations.
