Craftsmanship
Forging: Heat 1045 steel to a high-temperature plastic state, and repeatedly hammer and press the steel through manual forging or machine forging to make its internal structure denser and more uniform, remove impurities, refine grains, and form unique forging textures, enhancing the strength and toughness of the knife.
Heat treatment: The forged blade is subjected to heat treatment processes such as quenching and tempering. Heat the blade to the appropriate temperature during quenching, and then rapidly cool it to improve the hardness and strength of the blade; Tempering is a low-temperature heating treatment carried out after quenching, used to eliminate the internal stress generated by quenching, improve the toughness of the tool, and obtain good comprehensive performance of the tool body.
Grinding and polishing: After multiple grinding and polishing processes, using different grit sandpaper, grinding wheel, oilstone and other grinding tools, from coarse grinding to fine grinding, the surface of the blade is polished smooth like a mirror, removing forging marks, burrs and defects, giving the blade a metallic luster, and further improving the sharpness of the blade.
Assembly: Assemble the processed blade with the handle and sheath. The handle may be wrapped or embedded with materials such as wood or keratin to increase grip comfort and friction; The scabbard is mostly made of wooden material and treated with painting, carving and other techniques on the surface, which not only protects the blade but also enhances the overall aesthetics.
