Is daun sirih (betel leaf) also used during the forging process of the mandau mantikei?

Its not used during the forging.. I dont know why if mandau mantikei is rubbed by betel leaf the metal will be soft and can be bent but can be straighten again... Yet it still strong and sharp to cut a nail for example
