Hello Roland and thank you for the info!

I am generally familiar with metallurgy as I studied it in the university, but that of course doesn't teach you too much about wootz.

So I would appreciate very much if you can give me the link to the Finnish guy!

Best regards,

Marius

Hello Ariel,

I have seen them and I know the guy from 2013. I believe he only produces sham.

From all I have seen Zaqro Nonikashvili is the closest to the old thing. And instead of keeping his method secret he openly publicized it...

Regards,

Marius
