About the Course
This is a a two-day event demonstrating the processes used to create sword quality steel, also known as oroshigane. Using charcoal we will carburize electrolytic sponge iron (denkaitetsu) packed into a graphite crucible.
The result will then be prepared and sorted by carbon content.
Finally, we will build a billet ready to forge into a sword blade by forging and welding the raw pieces together.
All tools, fuel, and material included.
