Based on the opinions of professional Chinese cuisine chef The advantages of metal hammering technique "Shibori" Unlike forging of hot working technique, "Shibori" is Japanese traditional cold working technique. Properly heat-treated & especially slow cooled iron can be worked by hand hammering at ordinary temperatures. Also when making like frying pans by forging, hammer is beating inside of iron sheets, but in "Shibori", it will be beating outside of them like squeezing. By beating outside like squeezing without hardness change due to temperature change, iron sheet can be tough, lightweight & uniform thickness. However, using "Shibori" technique for iron is very difficult & it needs more than twice the time & effort to use for normal soft copper, brass & silver. For this reason, "Iron Shibori" is a very rare technique in the world.
