GT Obach,

Thanks for that information. I have no doubt that with modern pyrometry and metallurgical know-how, we can get around the problems of producing Martensitic Wootz that performs - After all, you obviously did, as amply demonstrated by that cutting through wrought iron.

However, the question remains whether the ancients could do the same and to answer this, we need historical samples.

Cheers
Chris
