[MR] BBC: Forging a Samurai Sword

[Garth Groff and Sally Sanford]

Noble Friends, Especially Samurai,

Today BBC Future has a brief photo feature showing the traditional forging
of Samurai swords. Why in BBC future? The forging changes the steel in ways
that might be of use for spacecraft. We can enjoy the show for what the
swords were at
