  1. as a blacksmith with 50yrs experience and a tool and die maker with 30yrs expriance and as a former vender for woodcraft supply and numerous other catalogs.supplying several thousand tools since 1984. I say bs on Japanese steel and all the Japanese tool and sword making myths.steel is steel and you don't have to be some mystical knothead in a kimono to make great steel and don't get me started on Damascus another phony baloney myth.your friend truckwilkins
