Where's the Wootz?

[urbanspaceman]

There is a limit to how much metallurgical science I can assimilate, and... truth be told - need to.
I felt Al Pendray's successes, and the accompanying history in the video, fulfilled my quest for an answer.
Any more depth of research simply bewilders my layman's brain.
However, I must encourage others to follow-up on Ian's advice to see if there is more of pertinence to be discovered.

Hello,

Reading this chapter on wootz is really recommended.

Production was unlikely in Arabic countries due economic reasons. It's cheaper to import. And there is still no evidence found of early production sites in Arabic countries.

Kind regards,
