This will be interesting. I wonder what will happen to Dr Larrin Thomas (https://knifesteelnerds.com/about-me/) he's been able to bring some new knife steels to market while working for US Steel by day. Wonder if Nippon allows side gigs.

I do have a bar of 40-layered high-carbon steel from Nippon Steel and another one of white-paper-and-low-carbon-steel with a iron (!) core from Hitachi in the basement waiting to be forged into swords. So, going from that, I think the Japanese (!) management should be fine, the local US management might different so.

Thanks for the link, some great resources on that site!

If you are new to knifesteelnerds, but not steel in general, and like blades, don’t just check out the site, make a beeline to read about Magnacut. Super cool and exciting.
