Dr Fox Posted January 5, 2019 Report Posted January 5, 2019 There you go, another kudos for the Japanese sword. It can chop up asteroids! Who else can claim that? 1 Quote
ROKUJURO Posted January 15, 2019 Report Posted January 15, 2019 BBC reported the TAMAHAGANE processing quite wrongly, but they are probably more interested in other aspects. Technically, that is not very special.As they wrote:Is such a metal really the best material for the job? McKinnon is unsure, but she does point out that the emotional appeal of such a culturally significant metal is not to be ignored.... Quote
Ruben Posted January 15, 2019 Report Posted January 15, 2019 Haha, good late night read, thanks. it´s often like this to day, we are living in a very "unique" time period. It is the medieval of technic,... also the term medival has this kind of irony in it, when used in other contexts than just as time period. Trying to fly outa space but not able to use information that is relatively easy to get. But as funny this tamahagane claim is, I got the feeling there is some other reason behind mentioning it. Somthing like the tank and barrel storry, that would worked with toledo steel as well, I found out. Greetings Ruben Quote
