Europeans used higher stock iron than Japanese smiths did. That’s why Japanese metal smiths had to fold their metal repeatedly to get the iron they wanted.

It’s not evidence that Japanese metal smiths were better.

I just thought I would throw that in there.

But even so, iron, even high-grade, is not steel. How did the Roman smiths make the transformation?
