About the Course

Due to interest, a special session Oroshigane Seminar has been scheduled for 2010!

The Steel-Making Seminar is scheduled for September 3-5, 2010. As a special bonus to students, those who attend will able to take home a portion of the class project!

This is a a three day event demonstrating the processes used to create sword quality steel, also known as oroshigane. Using charcoal we will carburize electrolytic sponge iron (denkaitetsu), and wrought iron. The result will then be prepared and sorted by carbon content. Finally, we will build a billet ready to forge into a sword blade.

The price of the seminar is $500 and is limited to five students. A deposit of $100 is requested, refundable up to 30 days before session begins.
