1. Why do I add pepper to container Damascus steel.
2. What do I sprinkle? Flux and its composition.
3. How do I remove the container from the workpiece (container Damascus steel).
4. Why am I drilling a hole in a container.
5. Why do I sweep away the dross from the anvil with my hand.
6. Why do I first forge some blanks on a tree.
7. In what and why do I soak the blank before forging.
8. In which granules do I place the workpiece after forging.
9. What kind of white powder do I pour into the container.

Fun Fact - Before the iron age, the only way to get iron in the ancient world was from meteorites. Smiths take the remnants of the space iron and make it into something significant. A dagger found in the tomb of King Tutankhamen actually had a blade made of Meteorite Iron.

OMG - what a beautiful blade it has become! And then there is the knowledge of what material was used in it.

I could get really jealous: D

Possible but far more likely one of the many pebbles the asteroid belt spits out into the inner solar system periodically. Not sure exactly how many burn into our atmosphere harmlessly annually but it feels like alot.

Well, iron and other metals here on earth are also from millions or billions years ago created with dying stars.

[@stefantaubert]

@@ivorunac That's right, Ivo - also the iron on every planet - including on earth - naturally comes from fusion processes in the suns. That is clear. But let's take another example: diamonds - you could also say it's just carbon. And it is the same with iron. For me it makes a difference whether a lump of iron flew through space for billions of years and then became a blade, or whether iron oxide was mined on earth and turned into steel.
