Fine Edge
Could someone create a Diamond edge sword, and if so, How effective would it be?
I once heard that it was possible to create a sword with a diamond edge that was laser sharpened and was incredibly powerful compared to regular swords of fine craftsmanship. I'm wondering if it's really possible and how good it would be.
The sword edge would have to be lined with diamonds. So you wouldn't have a continuous edge, but more like a hack saw blade.
Diamonds are hard but relatively brittle. Strikiing something with it would result in breakage of the sharpened edges. It would work well as a cutting edge.
Diamonds are used in abrasive applications, like industrial "sand" paper and grinding wheels. But the quick loss of a sharp edge would make for a very dull blade.

Amateur Knife Fighters Always...
stab and lunge with larger motions than necessary. Most people are what I'd call sloppy knife fighters, even a lot of trained martial artists. The way they practice in class could get them killed. I see fancy moves that only impress other artists. And as far as only moving with a purpose, well, all I can say is... these guys watch too many movies. Hollywood is allowed to add extra moves for the sake of good screen choreography; you are not. You need efficiency, which means that long, slow stabs need to be eliminated from your repertoire of techniques.
Reacting to Committed Stabs
One big cause of overly-large, knife-stabbing motions is the level of commitment of the attacker. The attacker steps into the knife thrust or stab, putting his weight behind the move. This is exactly what martial artists train against. They practice their responses to a real, full-on attack, not some wimpy small flicker of the knife. I am not telling you never to commit to your technique. Just be aware that knife fighters will know how to react to that type of movement.
Knife-Fighting Variables
The length of motion is not the only variable in knife fighting. You have to deal with distance and timing (body bubbles), direction of stroke, order of offense and defensive moves, and so on. This article focuses on dealing with people who stab down from above, or step in with a long lunge of their knife. My advice is to react with shorter knife motions...
Knife Practice -- An Efficient Way
Imagine fighting in a small closet or maybe a bathroom stall. You don't have a lot of room to maneuver, right? Practice your knife fighting in a confined space, in order to learn shorter techniques. Then, when you practice in a dojo or martial arts studio, stick to those short motions, even though now, you have a lot more space. Make your opponent step into you with the longer motion. You respond with the shorter, more efficient responses.

Spanish Style
So you are learning Spanish and your goal is to develop fast Spanish skills. And you want real Spanish ability, not just an expanded vocabulary that you don't know how to use in a real conversation.
I am assuming that you have some plan. You are probably either going to go to a regular Spanish class or you are going to buy a Spanish program. Good for you, these are good first steps. Here are some fast Spanish learning tricks to keep in mind.
It is all about the sex
Well that probably got your attention. But you do need to think in terms of gender or sex when you are developing your vocabulary. For every word you encounter, you will need to learn two things. Obviously, you will need to learn the actual word. The Spanish for table! Or the Spanish for sausage! But you will also need to bear in mind that words which have no gender in English, like table and sausage, do have a gender in Spanish. Basically the table is a girl. And the sausage is a boy. Table is "la mesa" and sausage is "el chorizo" See what I mean? If you tackle this early on, then you will be on a faster track. Gender is much more important is Spanish, and adjectives are also modified based on the gender of the noun. So sex is fast Spanish trick number one.
Safety in numbers
OK, this writer has really lost it I hear you say! Why is he talking about safety? Learning Spanish is not dangerous. And fast Spanish skills will not get you a speeding ticket. Truth is - I'm not talking about safety, I'm talking about numbers. If you go to a bar, you will ask for a beer. "Waiter, I'd like a cold beer please." But the concept of "a" doesn't really exist in Spanish. A beer translates as "una cerveza" or one beer. See - it's safer to think it terms of numbers.
Help a Spanish speaker learn English
Hold on a minute. If I'm trying to learn Spanish, why would I waste my time teaching English? Well, lets go back to the bar. Remember that cold beer a few paragraphs back? You would say "a cold beer, please" to the waiter. A Spanish speaker with only very basic English might say "please, one beer cold" Why? Because this is a literal translation of how they would say it in Spanish - "por favor, una cerveza frio." Now that poor English is very helpful to you for developing fast Spanish speaking skills. There are a lot of lessons in that simple phrase. You have learned that the beer is a girl. You will note that generally please comes before the request, not after. And you can see that the adjective comes after the noun and not before it (beer cold, not cold beer.) You can also see that the word for cold has been modified to the female gender (ending in a) because of the gender of beer in Spanish. If you wanted a cold sausage it would translate as "uno chorizo frio."
You can see how simulating an immersion setting and hearing real conversations is so important to develop fast Spanish skills.
Learn about which Spanish programs best simulate immersion so you can develop Fast Spanish skills.
