Tamahagane is a type of steel used in the making of traditional Japanese swords, known as katanas. It is a special steel produced through the forging process in a coal furnace called tatara, where materials such as iron sand and charcoal are used to produce high quality steel. The process is very laborious and requires great skill and experience to achieve a homogeneous steel without impurities.
Tamahagane is characterized by its high purity, durability, and ability to hold an extremely sharp edge. Due to its quality, it is highly valued by collectors and lovers of Japanese culture.
