i would personally like to analyze the ground where blacks forge originally was. the building in washington arkansas is a facimile not the original. here a while back they found a hole where a lot of old bowie blades were found (intact) if chemicals etc or leavings of slag etc that may have been used could be found the university of texas might be able to find indications of what was used . perhaps even an archaological dig could add some information. me personal i think he used a 7 step tempering procedure. but who am i to say. when i get the equipment again i think i may have a chance of figureing it out. tom
