High manganese steel double handed seedling knife hand forged Tang horizontal knife

Description

The following is an introduction to the manual forging of Tang horizontal knives with high manganese steel double handed seedling knives:
Material characteristics
High strength and wear resistance: High manganese steel belongs to high-strength alloy steel, with a manganese content of over 10% and a carbon content of 0.90% -1.50%. This ingredient gives it high strength and hardness, allowing the sword to maintain a good shape during actions such as chopping and stabbing, and is not easily deformed. Meanwhile, in long-term use, it has excellent wear resistance and can maintain good smoothness and sharpness.
Good toughness: High manganese steel can absorb a large amount of energy when subjected to external impact and is not easily broken. For swords such as the two handed Miao sword and Tang Heng sword that require significant impact force during swinging and training, good toughness can effectively prevent damage to the sword body caused by accidental collisions, ensuring the safety of the user.
Work hardening characteristics: During use, the surface of high manganese steel will rapidly harden due to friction and impact, further improving its hardness and wear resistance, making the sword sharper and extending its service life. For example, in frequent martial arts training or practical simulations, the blade can always maintain good cutting performance.
Craftsmanship
Hand forging: Craftsmen heat high manganese steel billets to high temperatures to make them plastic, and repeatedly hammer them with tools such as hammers and hammers. This process can remove impurities from the steel, make the internal structure dense and uniform, form a unique forging texture, enhance the strength and toughness of the blade, and better control the shape, thickness, and center of gravity of the blade, making it more convenient to use.
Heat treatment: including quenching and tempering. Quenching is the process of heating a knife to a specific temperature and rapidly cooling it to increase its hardness, but it can cause internal stress and make it prone to brittle fracture; Tempering is the process of reheating the quenched blade to a lower temperature and maintaining it for a period of time to eliminate internal stress, improve toughness, and balance the rigidity and flexibility of the blade.
Grinding: Use grinding stones with different mesh sizes from coarse to fine to grind the sword body. First, remove surface unevenness and burrs, then gradually make the surface of the sword body smooth to achieve a mirror effect, while maximizing the sharpness and uniformity of the blade, making it smoother to wield and use the sword.
exterior design
Two handed Miao Dao
Blade design: The Miao knife has a slender blade, usually around 110 centimeters long, with smooth overall lines and a sharp tip. The blade gradually narrows from the handle to the tip. This design allows the Miao knife to generate a large cutting force when swung and is easy to pierce, resulting in high accuracy in piercing.
Knife handle design: For easy grip by both hands, the knife handle is usually longer and made of materials such as hardwood, cow horn, or jade. It is then wrapped with silk thread, leather, or fish skin to provide a good grip and comfort, as well as anti slip effect.
Tang Hengdao
Blade design: The Tang horizontal sword has a straight blade, with a total length of about 80-100 centimeters and a blade length of 60-70 centimeters. The width gradually narrows from the blade root to the tip, and the tip is sharp, in accordance with mechanical principles. It can reduce air resistance when swung and is easy to control.
Equipment matching: The handle is made of hardwood and wrapped with silk thread, leather, or fish skin. The scabbard is mostly made of wood and may have exquisite carvings, paints, or inlaid decorations on the surface, such as cloud dragon patterns, floral patterns, etc., which complement the sword body and showcase the unique charm and cultural connotations of Tang horizontal swords.
Functional purpose
Martial Arts Fitness: The two handed Miao Dao and Tang Heng Dao are of moderate length and weight, suitable for martial arts enthusiasts to practice their swordsmanship. They can improve body coordination, flexibility, and strength, showcase various martial arts movements and techniques, and enhance martial arts proficiency.
Performance display: Its exquisite appearance and unique shape make it an important prop for martial arts performances and cultural exhibitions. On stage, dancers or martial arts performers holding high manganese steel double handed Miao knives or Tang horizontal knives, combined with music and dance movements, can showcase the charm of traditional Chinese culture and the beauty of martial arts’ rigidity and flexibility.
Collection and Decoration: Miao Dao and Tang Heng Dao both have profound historical and cultural heritage. High manganese steel hand forged swords and knives combine traditional craftsmanship with unique beauty, and have high artistic and collection value. They can be displayed as collectibles, adding cultural atmosphere to the space.
