10 things banned in Cambodia

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Yeah, right, in their dreams.

Where would they source the hq steel?

And how would they layer it?

Journo should know better.
I think they are referring to Citadel Knives which started in 1997 by Eluere, who trained Cambodian craftsmen to make samurai swords. He also brought in French-trained gunsmith and weapons expert Stephane Champagnac.

They note that each katana blade is made according to a rigorous process that takes from a month and half to two months, depending on the quality. The raw steel, which is imported from France, is placed in a charcoal forge and beaten and forged with three hammers in a process that can last weeks.
