Each Line Represents A Distinct Layer Of Steel, One Of Multiple Unique High Carbon Alloys Folded And Hammer Welded Together As Part Of A Technique With Roots Stretching Back To Middle Ages Syria. Today, Honshu’S Master Swordsmiths Perform Each Step In Much The Same Way As Their Ancient Forebears: Painstakingly And By Hand. No Automation. No Mechanization. It Begins With A Stack Of Steel Blanks Each Piece A Different Alloy. The Smith Fires The Blanks In A White-Hot Forge Until The Metal Glows Cherry Red. He Then Removes The Stack, Hammers It Until It’S Half As Thick As The Original, Then Folds The Metal Onto Itself Lengthwise, Hammering Each Half Together. The Process Is Meticulously Repeated Hundreds Of Times In Some Cases Until The Desired Layering Effect Is Achieved, At Which Point The Molten Steel Is Quenched In A Cool Bath, Merging The Layers On A Molecular Level And Imparting Lasting Strength And Resilience. Finally, The Steel Is Acid Etched To Highlight The Vivid Contrasts In The Thousands Of Layers.
