cutting edge Longquan City Sword and Blade Integrated Hand Forging Command Knife

Description

The Longquan Sword and Blade Integrated Hand Forging Command Knife is a tool that combines traditional craftsmanship with modern design. The following introduces its production process, materials, characteristics, and other aspects:
Craftsmanship
Forging: The blacksmith heats the selected steel to a high temperature to soften it, and then repeatedly strikes it with tools such as hammers. By continuously folding and forging, impurities are removed, grain size is refined, and the internal structure of the steel is made more compact and uniform, forming a unique forging texture and enhancing the strength and toughness of the blade.
Quenching: Heat the forged blade to the appropriate temperature and quickly place it in a cooling liquid such as water or oil to cool it, changing the structure of the steel and increasing its hardness. However, the internal stress generated during this process can easily cause the blade to become brittle.
Tempering: Heat the blade again to a lower temperature and maintain it for a period of time before slowly cooling it down to eliminate internal stress, improve toughness, and achieve the best performance state of the tool by balancing rigidity and flexibility.
Grinding: Use grinding stones with different mesh sizes from coarse to fine to grind the blade. Firstly, use a rough grinding stone to remove the unevenness and burrs on the surface of the blade, and then gradually replace with finer grinding stones to make the surface of the blade smooth and achieve a mirror effect, while also maximizing the sharpness and uniformity of the blade.
Equipment production and assembly: Handmade tools such as knives, handles, sheaths, etc. Knife stones are generally made of metal materials such as copper, iron, etc., and are carved or cast with exquisite patterns for decoration; The handle of the knife is usually made of wooden materials such as cypress wood, and may also be wrapped with fish skin, silk thread, etc. to increase slip resistance and grip comfort; The scabbard is made of wood, with a metal or keratin sheath opening and tail, and some parts are also painted. Finally, the blade is assembled with the fixture.
material selection
T10 steel: It is a common high carbon tool steel with a high carbon content of about 0.95% -1.05%. After appropriate heat treatment, high hardness and wear resistance can be obtained, which is suitable for making blade parts to ensure the sharpness and edge retention of the tool.
High manganese steel: It has good toughness and wear resistance. After special treatment, the surface hardness will be greatly increased, and it can quickly work harden when subjected to impact. It is suitable for making swords that need to withstand large impact forces.
Carbon steel: has high strength and moderate cold deformation plasticity. After appropriate heat treatment and forging processes, the blade can have good strength and toughness, and the price is relatively affordable. It is one of the commonly used materials in Longquan swords and knives.
Performance characteristics
High sharpness: After fine grinding and special heat treatment process, the blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut various objects. It can perform well in chopping and stabbing.
Combining rigidity and flexibility: Through reasonable material selection and forging processes, the blade has sufficient hardness to maintain the sharpness of the blade, as well as good toughness to withstand a certain degree of impact without breaking, achieving the effect of combining rigidity and flexibility and making it more reliable in use.
Good maneuverability: The reasonable center of gravity design and moderate weight make the command knife very flexible when swung, allowing users to quickly change direction and angle, accurately attack targets, and have good maneuverability whether held with one or both hands, suitable for various sword techniques.
exterior design
Blade shape: usually slender with a certain curvature, gradually narrowing from the blade root to the tip, with a sharp tip and smooth and beautiful overall lines. This shape is not only convenient for swinging and chopping, but also has good precision when stabbing.
Size specifications: Generally, the blade length is around 70-80 centimeters, and after adding the handle, the total length is about 100-110 centimeters. The blade width is about 3-4 centimeters, and the blade thickness is about 0.7-0.8 centimeters. However, the specific size may vary depending on the manufacturing process and design style.
Decorative details: Exquisite decorations such as carving and inlaying are usually found on the blade, handle, and sheath, with traditional Chinese elements such as dragon and phoenix, auspicious clouds, and auspicious beasts as the main patterns. Some also use Japanese style decorative elements such as cherry blossoms and chrysanthemum patterns, which increase the artistic value and ornamental value of the cutting tools.
