Question

why was the wood Steels making procedure completely lost by the mid 19century? why was Tipu's sword so special​

Answer 1

Answer:

The wootz steel making process was completely lost by the mid 19th century. The reason behind this was that when the British conquered India ,the import of iron and steel from England began to displace the iron and the steel produced by the crafts people in India. The demand for iron produced by them inevitably lowered.

Tipu's sword was so special. It's because of wootz steel. when steel converted into a sword gave it a sharp rigid edge at the end which could easily break through the opponent's armour. It gave it a water flowing pattern. Thus it was very special.
