Amazing.. just out of curiosity how many razors could you get out of the bloom you produced? I know I will have to start watching for these to show up online and save to grab one.

Very nice.

Fantastic! I'm getting really into the steel side of things, and it's awesome to see someone take it to this level.
But maybe "Mihagane" sounds better...

Very cool. I grew up very close to Lake Superior (less than 3.5 miles away as the crow flies) and spent many hours fishing on it with my Dad and swimming in it. It's in my bones. I love it. Thanks for sharing such a great razor from a master.

Iron is iron the world over. Might be interesting to see what the spectrograph shows for minor alloying elements though.
What was your yield (bloom out/ore in)? How about slag production? Got any spark pictures of the billet against the wheel?
