How do you make tamahagne steel for japanese blades?
I know you need a tatara and iron sand.
This is from a commercial outfit describing how they make these blades:
“Tamahagane blades are made using high-carbon Tamahagane iron sand, the traditional ingredient of the true Japanese Sword. This sets these swords apart, as it is very for blades to made outside Japan with the original material. Through the process of breaking and combining high and low carbon pieces during forging.
“Tamahagane becomes malleable, allowing the smith to Hand Forge a blade that asborbs shock while maintaining an excellent edge. You will notice the visual effects of the varying carbon content on the metal surface – the colour is bright and silvery, its crystalline structure brought out by hand polishing with Japanese stones. The Clay Tempered edge produces a brilliant Hamon, clearly defined and polished to stand out in minute relief from the darker surface of the blade. The Hada shows an even grain in the blade’s exquisitely refined surface. The close adherence to a traditional esthetic – achieved through an authentic process is typical of Dynasty Forge.
“The raw iron material is hand selected to ensure an average carbon content of 1.0-1.2%. The pebble-like material is heated and hammered into a solid billet. To remove impurities and homogenize the iron, the billet is folded from 12-14 times where a large amount of material is lost and carbon content decreased. While this process is time-consuming, it produces a blade in the traditional manner with an active Hada (surface pattern). This process is distinctly different from folding and forging modern steels, as the selection of raw materials and the subsequent working of the material is much more skill and labor intensive.
“Through the forging process, carbon loss occurs and the final carbon content is approximately 0.7%, which is ideal for crafting a sharp yet resilient blade. The edge is clay-tempered and water-quenched to produce a defined and robust Hamon. All blades are then hand-polished on Japanese stones to a mirror-finish (equivalent to 3000 grit or more). “
