It seems a lot like the japanese way for their blades they fire their furnace for I belive 72 hours nonstop mindyou they produce a lot more metal. The show I saw on that they did the final temper that curves the blade and sets the pattern painted on with clay, tempered in a dark room and quenched at the color of the rising sun. |

It all sounds very romantic, but when it comes down to it it's just years of trial, error, and whacking hot steel. |
