This is a complicated question. Steelmaking in preindustrial times followed one of two methods - carburizing pieces of iron and laminating them together, or using a crucible to form a hard, high-carbon steel. Both were very intensive in labor and materials, produced limited quantities, and more suitable to blademaking than general metalworking. Boilers used to be made from wrought iron at first, but to produce it at scale you need to be able to make pig iron at scale. Which requires blast furnaces. These didn't appear in Europe until the 12th c. though were present in China since the Han dynasty. Blast furnaces require a lot of fuel, mainly very pure sources of carbon in the form of charcoal or coke derived from coal. The problem with charcoal is that you need to burn a lot of wood to produce it, practically entire forests' worth, and coke wasn't used until the early 18th c. in Britain. There probably just wasn't this level of demand for iron at all until around the late Middle Ages. I can only speculate why it changed, but the introduction of gunpowder might be one reason. It could also be due to the more-timbered Northern Europe remaining relatively underdeveloped until then, which is another rabbit hole of a topic as to why.

No, sanmai is a blademaking technique. I'm pretty sure you're thinking of shumai.

Judging by what you see in artisinal blademaking today, I expect a week's work (without benefit of power tools) would create the kind of heirloom-quality sword which come down to us as museum pieces.

This, metalworking (ie blademaking), cray-pas art, and restoring old “appliances” are mesmerizing and relaxing I’ve never understood the whole ASMR thing, but I imagine this is what that feeling is like

Meet Our Heritage Makers: @ernestwrightltd one of two remaining scissor makers in the UK. Both are in Sheffield, home to blademaking since the 14th c. Wright’s “putters” are highly trained master artisans; as the company says, “Buy once, love it forever!” ciselier.com/collections/ern…

Hrrm. The Bronze I cast may well be strong enough to make a solid tonfa out of. (When I get to blademaking I'll be attempting machetes, but no idea if I'll even enjoy doing blades.)

Best way to start the day.. 🗡 🔥 #ForgedInFire #BladeMaking @Neilson_Knives @Whiskey_Whiskey @BenavidesVal

Almost a year now since I made my first real sword. For all of you that find blademaking and forging interesting, here's also a link to my YouTube channel. Haven't had any time to make another video i a while, but I have the plans for the next one set :3 youtu.be/NduI9-wnrJY

Yes to both Blown anyway and Flower Fight. We enjoy Forged in Fire in our trailer. It’s blademaking in the forge. Pretty cool.

The weirdest thing is that according to English sources, Portugal had a stronger individual identity as far as military weapon development went than one of the hotbeds of blademaking in Europe. Completely bizarre how there's this absolute lack of information on the internet.

Presents at the door today! Pretty awesome considering the delivery date was November 16 EOD. Some of those 2x72 belts look like they eat knuckles for breakfast. Also picked up 1000 x 1/4" Carbon Ball Bearings (might have messed this up & should have got chrome). #blademaking

Finally ordered a bunch of steel tonight for #blademaking. 1084, 1095, 15N20 & even some powdered 1084 for cannister Damascus. #forging

Anyone wants to learn blacksmithing/blademaking hit me up. Always happy to help get someone started.

going to build Gabe a coal forge and quenching station so that he can get started on his blademaking journey

Considering how many have stated their inspiration to get into blademaking was Lord of the Rings or some such fantasy, yeah. Odds are good.
