IRON SAND TO HONED STEEL: HOW TO MAKE A REAL KATANA SAMURAI …
From thecollector.com Author Michael SmathersPublished Oct 7, 2021
Forging a Real Katana: Tamahagane. Tamahagane (literally “jewel steel”) is the ore from which a real katana is created. The full process of smelting tamahagane from satetsu (black iron sand) is beyond the scope of this article, but it involves heating a mixture of satetsu and matsuzuri (pine charcoal) to create a bloom of steel.

Assembly. Once the block has been assembled by putting the pieces of ore together, it is wrapped in wet rice paper and sprinkled with straw. The paper and the straw do two different things: they help to decrease the loss of carbon through oxidation and they hold the block together so it can be forged.
Refining. The next step involves folding the metal over itself using a technique called mizu-uchi (water striking). The main purpose of folding and hammering the steel is to force all of the impurities and voids out of the metal.
Shaping. At the nakago (tang) end of the blade, the munemachi (rear notch) and the hamachi (edge notch) are cut out, and either one or two holes are drilled in the nakago for the mekugi (bamboo retaining peg).
