Steel

Steel is an alloy consisting mostly of iron, with a small percentage of carbon, depending on grade. Carbon is the most cost-effective alloying material for iron, but others can be used. Gnomes are known to have the most advanced techniques of steel production, but dwarves are also very skilled in its production and use.

Steel is used particularly for the cutting edge of knives, razors, swords, and other items where a hard, sharp edge is required needed.
