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
There’s this wonderful element called iron that’s used in all swords from the iron age onwards, though usually with a bit of carbon in them too. That’s also the element found in meteorites too. There is no special metal or unique element involved. They were meant to be good because the meteor was a gift from the heavens and also often forged by a master in his trade.
So, sarcasm aside, the answer is a bit fat no. They might have some additional elements in them that provide a better alloy but humans can add traces of other elements to improve steel’s properties too.
