Thanks everybody for the feedback, advice, and answers. In researching blacksmiths and forging, I have come to respect the craft even more so than I did before. Thanks again for being so helpful, and any more answers would be greatly appreciated as well.

Hey everybody, I'm doing some research for something I'm writing relating to Blacksmiths. If you could answer any of my questions, I would really appreciate it. -What kind of metal is generally believed to be the most difficult metal to forge? -What item (preferably a blade) that can be made in a day is generally considered most difficult to make? -What are some techniques/methods (specific name, if you know it) that are generally considered the most difficult to execute? If you know what kinds of information I'm looking for and you have other factors the attribute to the difficulty, please let me know. Thanks again!
