Sure Tim anyone who did that work even if it was in a bar or soap is very skilled but Ive watched modern kami used to making brass & white metal fittings, then make them in steel, it took infinatly longer & they seemed to require much greater concentration.

Different mediums work differently, carving pear wood is very different from carving greenheart for instance.

Thanks for confirming its steel Tatyana.
