Just saw a photo of that katana made of space rock and I’m curious to know if it’s a better weapon than those made of metal. Also, what is the ideal Earth element that is best suited for swords? Thank you.
In: Geology
The best swords are not made of a single element. Pure Iron was inferior to Steel, which is a mix of Iron, and carbon with high heat. In addition it’s not just the materials that matter, but the technique. Steel folding was one such technique often used in katanas which made for a stronger, sharper, purer blade, but was incredibly labour intensive.
Where the iron used to make the steel comes from does not matter at all, however. It’s just cool.
