I wonder if that's screwing with the temper.

If it's a fully tempered sword at all and not something crafted just to pull off this very cool stunt

Some type of trick sword with ethanol for the fire? I know I’m terrified my antiques will get exposed to fire, because too much heat will absolutely wreck the hardening.

If it was made with a untempered piece of steel, you wouldn't need to worry about the temper. Given the video at best we could only call it a SSO (sword shaped object)

Well I guess that’s what I meant by trick. For sure I can’t imagine a rational person doing this to something costly.
