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.

[@PrinceAlhorian]

Meteorites like these are usually made from an Iron and Nickel alloy, with trace amounts of other metals like cobalt, manganese and sometimes even vanadium. My father works in a steel foundry and their lab once for the giggles tried to copy a version of the alloy. The result was an insanely hard metal but extremely brittle. By pattern welding it with softer but tougher tool steels you get the hard edge but with a more forgiving blade if you should drop it.
