I just read something recently which said women make better strikers than men.

I was skeptical but at the end I was more open minded.

Guys tend to hit as hard and fast as they can, often miss and chip the anvil edges.

Women on the other hand, even those who have never held a hammer in their lives prove to be calmer, follow the smith's cues more keenly and have a better rhythm. They rarely miss.

Guys don't look as good standing with a sledge, eat half your lunch. Women smell better and have tits.

@xboyprodigyx when steel is heated to red hot it oxidizes very quickly in other words its getting "rusty" and every hammer blow knocks off both the impurities and "rust".if the steel was heated and just left to sit(no hammering) it would be scaley and have an orange tinge to it
