Why does that sword cannot hold its edge well? Does it shake when you swing it?

Because it may not be heat treated. The sword was made from a used truck spring leaf, with hole in the blade plugged to show that. Hardness is 40hrc around, so can't hold the edge well. No, it doesn't shake when I swung it though. I poured glue into the hilt to make it tight.
