Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between Damascus and Tamahagane steel?
Wootz Damascus steel relies on crucible melting of high-carbon iron with plant matter to precipitate carbide bands, while Tamahagane is smelted in a traditional clay furnace (Tatara) and hand-folded to redistribute carbon content.
