She looks better with the ponytail. Also huzzah for blacksmith girls. Y’all are awesome.

But she's not a dwarf!

Lol calling tamahagane a national treasure.... it means in context precious steel, as in rare. and sure it would be rare for the japanese who processed sand to get what little iron they could.

I fail to see how that’s a problem

Tamahagane is garbage steel, and folding makes the metal objectively weaker than forging a single lump of metal. You fold tamahagane because it’s such a low quality steel and the impurities are removed (or at least spread out) by the folding, at the cost of introducing weak points that can fracture under stress. You have to fold tamahagane because it’s so bad, because the folded steel in its weakened state is still stronger than the impure metal.

Blacksmiths make more than just weapons you know. That's why being a weapon maker is different from being a blacksmith. Blacksmiths make pots and pans and nails and everything else you might need for daily life. Weapon Smiths make weapons. But of course manga always treats it like blacksmiths make absolutely everything there is that you can make with metal.
