I have been doing doing some sword testing of my own using my own methods for over one year now. I have been recording my data on a webpage which I build up with every new item I buy. I recognise that my method is not the most scientificly accurate, but I feel it yeilds some valuble information.
You may look at it here:

"Also, a REAL TANG would be great too."

Exactly. What good is a sword if its snaps under the stress of a well-executed cut? You can have the finest blade in the world but without a sturdy tang its all but useless for serious fighting/testing.
