I LOVE THIS POLL.

Heck with that--I want an alloy made of the two of them. Guaranteed indestructible. *nodnod*

This is the most important question of our time - can adamantium cut through mithril? We need a valid experiment. 8)

Wait...this isn't what everyone else thinks about all the time? Damn.

In the books, the mithril chain mail is slightly damaged by an especially vicious strike during the battle in Moria. (Specifically, a few links are broken.) Therefore, I maintain that adamantium could indeed cut through it.

That said, I would prefer the lightness and beauty of mithril to the weight and pain of adamantium applied to my skeleton, thanks. :)
