Destroying a $1500 CPM 3V Sword - How tough is 3v?

This is a video of a CPM 3V Blade. The purpose here is to get some experience with the steel rather than evaluate the sword specifically. The sword itself is well made but also used and repaired. It should give some idea of how 3v steel acts in the tests I do. The blade was made by Charles Jones and was later customized by its previous owner.
