Kiipu Posted October 1, 2021 Report Posted October 1, 2021 Thanks Corry. I found the second link interesting. Below is the index page and the Japanese swords can be found in chapter 11. This is worthy of further reading but I have been known to be wrong before! Iron, Steel and Swords by Helmut Föll 11.6 Japanese Swords 11.6.1 The Myth and the History of the Japanese Sword 11.6.2 Making a Japanese Sword - Part 1 11.6.3 Making a Japanese Sword - Part 2 11.6.4 Metallurgy of the Japanese Sword 1 1 Quote
