Sarbloh is the metal that was used by Guru Jee to prepare the Amrit that was given to the Sikhs who became Khalsa in 1699. The Bata and Khanda were Sarbloh and to this day all Amrit Sanchaars are conducted with sarbloh bata and khanda.
Kara and Kirpan (2 of the Five Ks that a Sikh keeps on his or her person at all times) must be made of Sarbloh.
Closest term to Sarabloh in English would be wrought iron. Sarbloh cannot be confused with or mistaken with steel as this only came into common use after about 1858 when the modern era in steelmaking began with the introduction of Henry Bessemer's Bessemer process.[1]
