    Moving this to the forge.

    If I may ask, why 1.3%? isn't that much too high (meaning, much higher than necessary)?
    Tamahagane starts at that when they begin the folding process. By the time they're done, it's closer to 0.7 or 0.8.

    @Bruno :
    it's never too much
    This steel has a very fine structure, it is ideal for this kind of tools. one of my favorit steel , with 145sc .
    i have a small piece of Tamahagane from Iwasaki ,But I do not dare ( is it correct "dare" ? ) to use it
