    Thank you. The ignorance out there runs deep. Japanese iron has always been scarce and of poor quality - these techniques, including the folding and refolding of sword blanks don't impart some mythical prowess to the steel or the soul of the blade maker or whatever horseshit people come up with - it's simply to improve the steel and turn what is essentially pig iron into something usable for a blade. It's also annoying when people criticize the use of power hammers etc as not "traditional" or not "befitting the ethos" of Japanese blade making. The fact of the matter is that blacksmiths of old would have used any labour-saving device available if it had been invented at the time.

    Most gold will be left behind, but there's always some that gets caught between grains. That's why it's best to pan any black sands a couple of times before magnetically separating it. Depending on the grade, the magnetite sand will permanently magnetize if a strong magnet gets near it.

    炉の形は似ていますが銑鉄生産は低温でケラを作るのでは無く、より高温で鉄を溶解させてより炭素量を高める事によって銑鉄を作る事を目指します。ケラであるハガネと銑鉄の違いは炭素量が少ないか多いかの違いだけですが、銑鉄は溶解しているのでケラより多くの不純物を含みます。例えば砂鉄に含まれるチタンや銅、硫黄、マンガンなどもケラより多く溶け込みます。最近の研究では銑鉄を下ろして鋼に変えるとこの不純物が介在して相州伝の地金に近いものが出来るというものがあり、銑押し法で日本刀の制作にチャレンジしている刀匠さんもいるそうです。特にチケイ、イナズマ、スナガシ、などの刀身のにある働きはチタン介在物によるものではないかと言われており、地金が柔らかいのにチケイが出るのは固いマルテンサイトによって現れるのでは無く、チタンの介在を伺わせます。

    Примерно по такой же технологии производили железо славянские племена. Из глины делалась круглая печь, в которую загружать железную руду собранную на болотах. Руда перемешивалась с древесным углем. В печи зажигался огонь, и мехами продувался воздух. Когда печь оставалась её разбивали, и извлекали крицу, и так же проковывали, чтобы уплотнить металл, и выгнать из него растворённый воздух.

    Well in this case it does have an effect on the end product. The charcoal needs to be properly sized for sufficient airflow, slag drain, and iron contact. Too big and the iron sand falls to the bottom, too small and you have crap airflow, slag doesn't fall properly and the iron doesn't get enough heat to melt and take on carbon to become steel.

    うーん、これは女性差別と言われてしまうのかもしれませんが、それって有りなの? って感じです。 というのも、日本刀って「美術品」なんですね。 いや、日本刀というのは、その機能美を前提とした実用品としての刃物なんだ。という意見は分かります。 でもね、それなら玉鋼って必要ないんですよ。機能性を追求してタングステンなどを含有した、合理的な合金は、材料工学の観点から言えば玉鋼よりかなり高機能なんです。 そりゃそうでしょ? 江戸時代から続く玉鋼の技術が、なにか神秘的なパワーを持っていて、現代工学の結晶である合金より機能的だなんて、ありうるわけがないじゃないですか。 じゃあ、日本における日本刀に、この合金の使用が認められるかといったら、それは認められないんですよ。 だって、それは「凶器」だから。日本国に、そんな人を切断することに合理化された凶器なんて、一般人が所持することは認められないんですね。 だから、「玉鋼を使用し、伝統的な工程に従って作られた日本刀に限り、伝統工芸品として、その所有を認める」ってことになってるんです。 だから、日本刀は美術品なんです。「伝統的でない、新しい風」みたいのは必要ないんです。だって、伝統的であるからこそ殺人武器である日本刀は、かろうじて日本で所有を認められてるんですから。 それは割と徹底的で、例えば海外で美術的価値のあるサーベルを購入してきた男性が刀剣登録をしようと思ったら、「それ、美術品じゃないから。凶器だから、使えないように破壊してね」という判例が最高裁で出たこともあります(サーベル登録拒否事件) 日本刀というのはグローバルに価値を認められてますから、外国人の鍛冶師なんかもいるわけですが、本当にこの概念が理解できなくて困っていますよ。 話を戻すと、そんな背景があるのに、「女性村下」ってアリなんですか? ってことです。 そもそも、日本刀は伝統を重視するからこそ日本という社会の中で認められている存在なのに、「女性だけど玉鋼作っちゃった」って、それありなんすか? という疑問が生まれますよね。だって、玉鋼って伝統的には女人禁制で作られるものですから。 いや、個人的にはそんなの全然アリだと思ってますよ? 国が日本刀の新しいありかたを認めない閉鎖的な態度のほうがおかしいと思ってますから。 でも、このことで窮屈な思いをしている刀工はたくさんいるんですよ。だって実際、「なんでもありだった時代の軍刀のほうが、今の日本刀より高性能だ」とかいわれちゃってるんですから。 そんな状況下では、女性村下という存在を肯定的に見ることはできないですね。
