Tamahagane is very expensive! They say it is made of old English anchor chains, so you could just as well have one made from Sheffield steel.

. Modern day Iwasakis are made using Swedish steel. Iwasaki's apprentice took over as Iwasakisan apparently suffers from dementia.

I recommend doing some actual research on Tamahagane, it most certainly is not made from anchor chains of any sort.

Oops! My mistake, kamaji steel is made of old anchor chains adn other recycled steels.
