What a shame. He has a small bat'leth.

Never insult the size of a warrior's weapon.

Please don't tell me size doesn't matter it's what you can do with it
I like a big bat'leth. Makes me feel more secure
The first person I thought of when I read this was Davros.

They can't find his getaway car because it's got a cloaking device.
I love the comments on that site.
I never read those comment... I wish I did, the first two just made me do a loud geeky laugh
I can't believe the clerk didn't fight back. This cowardice will stain his family honour for three generations!
When committing armed robbery on Earth, I use human weapons exclusively.
True. Surgical scalpels and some medieval masterworks rapiers are made of steel with a tungsten alloy along the edge. For a heavy weapon like a Bat'leth, this isn't really necessary. High carbon steel would work just fine.

It's fairly strong and very scratch resistant, but it's not indestructible.
When I did CVD titanium coating I (and others) broke carbide tools sometimes. If the parts are able to strike other carbide parts or hardened steel they'll chip fairly easily. Once I broke a punch in half by dropping it on a concrete floor (doesn't happen often, but it does happen.)
In some ways tungsten carbide is very strong, but in other ways it's a lot like glass. If I can find the carbide inserts I have, I can make a video and show you what happens when I hit one with a hammer if you want.
From your own link:
Doesn't sound too unbreakable to me.
^ Well, it would look really nice.
However, if it's only for display, there are cheaper materials that'll look just as nice. I don't know if it could cost over $100,000 like I said earlier. A lot of the cost of carbide tools is precision (we're talking microns here), but it would still probably cost a lot more than having one made out of gold or platinum.

Nothing quite as funny as when someone posts a link the DIRECTLY contradicts their own point
You're Doing It Wrong!
A sad day for the Klingon Empire, this warrior should have committed hara-kiri and disemboweled himself in front Earth cops rather than being taken prisoner by these puny humans.
