ITALIA - San Galgano Or True Story, Legendary Sword

"Galgano objected that though giving up worldly pleasures sounded good, but doing so would be as easy as using his sword to split rocks. To prove his point, he drew his weapon and thrust at a stone, fully expecting the blade to snap. It penetrated to the hilt, and Galgano never left the hill again."

And you can still go see the sword today!
