In digging through Cold Steel's blade lineup, I came across the "Nightshade" series of knives which are all synthetic blades. The advertised advantage to this is the lightness of the weapon, and fact that it will not rust or otherwise weather like steel would. My question is, are these worth it, even as inexpensive as they are? Are they able to be sharpened by conventional means? Does the light weight help or hurt in terms of combat when it comes to striking power and also retention?
There is one other potential use I'm seeing... Are they easy to dull so I could turn one into an inexpensive trainer, at the very least?
