Detailed description is I'm doing a rare wootz blades and write books. If you want my wootz blades or books, then write me the letter: diegosan433 [@] gmail.com.The forging of wootz blades in Russia has a long tradition. The Russian word "bulat" originated from the Persian word "pulad" and means "wootz"(crucible steel). The technology of manufacturing bulat-wootz steel was lost, and was rediscovered by a Russian metallurgist Pavel Anosov in 1838. His discovery was reported in his manuscript, which received a special note of appreciation from the Demidov's Awards Committee (1841). . . Swords made of bulat-wootz, created on Pavel's Anosov technology in Zlatoust, were not only examples of fine art, showing marvelous patterns, but also were superior in combat performance when compared to the best samples of steel made in Solingen, Toledo, and London for edged weapons. In the London Exhibition of 1851, the swords made of bulat from Zlatoust exceeded British-made swords in performance. The British Morning Post wrote at that time that “the fabulous success of the Russian industry [metallurgy] is determined by the high quality of their steel'. . . The secret of making bulat steel (crucible wootz steel) was lost again after the death of Anosov. Recently, it was rediscovered by a few Russian smiths, who had been working independently. They were able to reproduce bulat steel that was comparable with Anosov's bulat in both quality and pattern. The technology includes smelting in a crucible under very special conditions, forging the ingot, and, finally, quenching the finished product. One of these Russian smiths is Ivan Kirpichev. He is a self-made Russian smith who is absolutely “obsessed” with archeometallurgy, particularly with research on bulat steel. . . While studying at school, Ivan was very much interested in history, especially in the history of Eastern civilizations, not left unnoticed by his history teacher. It was also in Ivan’s nature from a very young age to try his hands at making various things. From a young age, he was also fascinated with edged weapons. He made his first knife when he was only 12 years old. Most likely, because of his interest in “making things”, he chose to become a mechanical engineer, finding work in a private company after graduation. . . The company had its own forge, and Ivan became inspired to construct a few blades in the Eastern style. He realized that he could make them without a problem; and making the high-carbon steel and pattern-welded steel was not a challenge for him anymore. He started looking for a more challenging quest – this is how he came to study how to make crucible steel. Contrary to crucible steel, making the pattern-welded steel appeared to be an easy thing for Ivan. However, making bulat (crucible steel) happened to be a rather difficult and mysterious challenge. Right from the beginning, Ivan realized that the crucible steel was not only about the dendritic liquation, but there was a mystery to making this type of steel – in other words, he realized that making bulat (crucible wootz steel) is not just a process, a technological feat, but also an art. This is why Ivan Kirpichev fell in love with making wootz steel.. . Rarest Wotz blades – malleable steel with a fine pattern & an average carbon content of not less than cast iron (2,14% C and more). Such rare Wootz blades are made by Ivan Kirpichev and the average content of carbon in his blades is more than 2.2%. This is a spectral chemical analysis of a Wootz blade by Ivan Kirpichev: C – more than 2,25%!!!; Mn – 0,572%; Si – 0,234%; P – 0,025%; S – 0,0892%; Cr – 0,732%; Ni – 0,086%; Cu – 0,106%; Al – 0,0071%; Co – 0,0171%; V – 0,005%; Mo – 0,009%; Ti – 0,003%.. . Ivan Kirpichev is particularly fascinated with crucible steel blades made in XVII-XVIII century in the Persian province of Khorosan. When comparing the crucible steel blades made in Khorasan with samples of other regions, the Khorasan blades have the best ratio of excellent pattern in comparison to the blades made in other regions. Ivan Kirpichev makes wootz steel blades, which resemble exactly the same pattern of steel as the old wootz steel patterns from Persian province of Khorosan.. . https://www.facebook.com/Wootz.Bulat/. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100006786330374. http://www.arms-and-armor-from-iran.de/PDF/PersianMirror_Bulat.pdf Wootz is the name given to an exceptional grade of iron ore steel first made in India early as 300 BC. Wootz is formed using a crucible to melt, burn away impurities and add important ingredients, and it contains a high carbon content. The center of production was in India, although some was produced in other areas of the Central Asia, and the most famous of the wootz blades were forged in Persia. The remarkable characteristics of wootz steel became known to Europe when the Crusaders reached the Middle East, beginning in the 11th century. They discovered that swords of this metal could split a feather in midair, yet retain their edge through many a battle with the Saracens. The swords were easily recognized by a characteristic wootz pattern on their blades. . The secret of making crucible wootz steel was lost at the beginning of 19th century. Various attempts were made, mostly in Russia and Europe, to revive the process. These were in some cases successful in yielding steel with the characteristics of wootz, but none of these attempts yielded a process that was consistently repeatable. Thus the mystery of what made wootz tick went until the end of the 20th century. It was during this time that several individuals and teams around the world were successful in deciphering the wootz mystery once and for all. One of these smiths is Ivan Kirpichev. He is a self-made Russian smith who is absolutely “obsessed” with archeometallurgy, particularly with research on wootz steel. Right from the beginning, Ivan realized that the crucible steel was not only about the dendritic liquation, but there was a mystery to making this type of steel – in other words, he realized that making bulat (crucible wootz steel) is not just a process, a technological feat, but also an art.
