Hand forged high manganese steel oxtail war knife

Description

Material characteristics
High strength: High manganese steel has high strength and can withstand large external impacts without deformation or breakage, ensuring good structural stability of the oxtail sword during chopping, blocking and other actions.
Good toughness: Its toughness is excellent, which means that the war knife is not prone to brittle cracking during use. Even in frequent swinging, collisions, and complex usage environments, it can maintain the integrity of the blade and reduce the risk of tool damage caused by accidental impacts.
Wear resistance: High manganese steel has good wear resistance. After forging and heat treatment, the surface hardness of the blade is high, which can effectively resist wear caused by contact with other objects during use, maintain the sharpness of the blade and the smoothness of the blade, and extend the service life of the war knife.
Craftsmanship
Forging: Heating high manganese steel to a high temperature to soften it, the blacksmith uses experience and skills to repeatedly strike the steel with tools such as hammers. By continuously folding and forging, impurities inside the steel are eliminated, resulting in finer and more uniform grains, thereby enhancing the strength and toughness of the blade, while endowing the blade with a unique forging texture.
Heat treatment: including quenching and tempering. During quenching, the forged blade is heated to a specific temperature and quickly cooled in a coolant to change the structure of the steel and increase its hardness. However, the internal stress generated by quenching can easily make the tool brittle, so tempering is needed, which means reheating the blade to a lower temperature and maintaining it for a period of time before slowly cooling it to eliminate internal stress and improve tool toughness.
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 smoother and achieve a mirror effect, while also maximizing the sharpness and uniformity of the blade.
Appearance and Design
Blade shape: The overall design presents an asymmetric S-shape, with a handle like a hook and a blade like a moon. The blade gradually widens and tapers at the tip, resembling the shape of a bull’s tail tip. This unique design places the center of gravity of the blade at the back and allows for flexible movement at the front end, in line with the principles of human mechanics, making it easy to wield with one hand.
Size specifications: A common hand forged high manganese steel oxtail war knife, with a total length of about 90 to 100 centimeters, including a blade length of about 70 to 80 centimeters and a handle length of about 20 centimeters. However, the specific size may vary depending on the style and purpose.
Decorative details: The handle of the knife is usually made of materials such as rosewood and sandalwood, which are hard and have beautiful textures. Some parts may also be wrapped in leather, silk thread, etc. to increase anti slip properties. The scabbard is often made of wood materials such as rosewood and rosewood, paired with metal decorative pieces such as copper scabbard mouth, scabbard tail, and hoop, decorated with exquisite carvings or patterns.
Performance advantages
Powerful chopping: The unique blade shape of the Bull Tail War Knife allows for the use of its weight and inertia to concentrate power on the blade during chopping. Combined with the high strength and good toughness of high manganese steel, it can generate powerful chopping power, easily cutting through the opponent’s defense.
Flexible and precise: Due to the reasonable design of the center of gravity, the sword is very flexible when swung, able to quickly change direction and angle, making it easy for users to react quickly and accurately attack targets in battle. At the same time, the unique tip design of the oxtail knife gives it good precision when striking.
Usage and Value
Collection value: The hand forged high manganese steel oxtail sword combines exquisite craftsmanship, unique design, and high-quality materials, and has high artistic appreciation and collection value. It is a sought after object for cold weapon collectors.
Cultural Value: The oxtail sword carries rich historical and cultural connotations, reflecting the military, craftsmanship, and social styles of different periods. It has important reference value for studying the history of ancient weapons, military history, and cultural exchanges.
