This paragraph caught my attention. It's on the first page.
"So, today we can say, that in Tula, patterned cast steel is being produced, with carbon content from 1.5% to 2%. There are samples with 1% and 3% of carbon. The softest Wootz Steel (1% C) has average hardness of 62 63 HRC, a blade, made of it easily scratches glass, cuts nails without notches and can be bent more than by 120 degrees without residual deformations. Special brands of our steel possess such high quality parameters, that currently we are undertaking measures to fix officially these properties of our Wootz Steel with the help of famous metallurgical laboratories."
