About the Steel of Swords

Throughout the "great age" of the European iron sword, steel was produced from iron ore with charcoal in a furnace. In contrast to today's steels, the steel does not reach the melt. Such steel has special properties that our ancestors knew and used to influence the quality of the steel.
The focus is on this steel, which was produced in the original form of steel production, its characteristics and the manufacturing process.
Based on the German version from 8.10.2022.
