High manganese steel embroidered spring knife, Jinyiwei pendant knife

Description

Material characteristics
High strength and good toughness: High manganese steel has high strength and can withstand large external impacts without deformation or breakage, allowing the embroidery spring knife to maintain good structural stability during cutting, blocking and other actions. At the same time, it has excellent toughness and is not prone to brittle cracking. 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 and corrosion 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. In addition, high manganese steel also has a certain degree of corrosion resistance, which can resist the erosion of moisture and other corrosive substances in the air to a certain extent, making the blade less prone to rusting.
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.
exterior design
Blade shape: Generally speaking, the blade of an embroidered spring knife is narrow and slightly curved, similar to the shape of a Tang knife, but with its own characteristics. The blade has a certain curvature, gradually narrowing from the root to the tip, and the tip is relatively sharp, which is convenient for piercing and can increase strength and speed during chopping.
Size specifications: The total length is usually around 90 centimeters, with a blade length of about 70 centimeters and a handle length of about 20 centimeters. This size design allows the embroidery spring knife to exert sufficient power while being easy to carry and operate.
Decorative details: The handle of the knife is usually made of wooden materials such as rosewood, sandalwood, etc., with a hard texture and beautiful texture. Some parts may also be wrapped in leather, silk thread, etc. to increase anti slip properties. The scabbard is often made of wooden materials, paired with metal decorations such as copper scabbard mouth, scabbard tail, and hoop. It is decorated with exquisite carvings or patterns, such as cloud dragon patterns, floral patterns, etc., reflecting the majesty and magnificence of the royal family.

Performance advantages
Lightweight and flexible: The overall weight is relatively light, coupled with a reasonable center of gravity design, making the Xiuchun knife very flexible when wielded. It can quickly change direction and angle, making it easy for users to react quickly and accurately attack targets in combat. It is suitable for mid-range attacks and can play its unique advantages in close combat.
Both chopping and stabbing are suitable: the unique shape and curvature of the blade enable the Xiuchun knife to use the weight and inertia of the blade to concentrate its power on the cutting edge, generating powerful chopping force and easily splitting the opponent’s defense. At the same time, the sharp blade design also gives it good precision and penetration when piercing, which can cause effective damage to enemies.
Collection and Cultural Value
Collection value: Modern made high manganese steel embroidered spring knives have high artistic appreciation and collection value due to their exquisite production techniques, unique appearance design, and close connection with historical culture. They are sought after by cold weapon collectors.
Cultural Value: As an iconic sword of the Ming Dynasty’s Jinyiwei, the embroidered spring knife carries rich historical and cultural connotations, reflecting the political, military, technological, and social landscape of the Ming Dynasty. It has important reference value for studying the history of ancient weapons, military history, and cultural exchanges. By collecting and displaying high manganese steel embroidered spring knives, more people can learn and understand the ancient Chinese sword culture and history.
