Longquan City Sword Chrysanthemum Clear Waist Knife

Description

Craftsmanship
Hand forging: Craftsmen heat high manganese steel billets to high temperatures to make them plastic, and then repeatedly hammer them with tools such as hammers and small hammers. This process can remove impurities from the steel, make the internal structure denser and more uniform, and also form unique forging textures to enhance the strength and toughness of the waist knife, while better controlling the shape, thickness, and center of gravity of the knife.
Heat treatment: including quenching and tempering. Quenching is the rapid cooling of a knife after heating it to a specific temperature 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 the unevenness and burrs on the surface, and then gradually make the surface of the sword body smooth, achieving a mirror effect. At the same time, optimize the sharpness and uniformity of the blade, making the waist knife smoother to wield and use.

Blade: It is usually slender in shape, with a sharp blade that gradually narrows from the blade root to the tip. The tip of the blade is sharp, and the overall line is smooth, in accordance with mechanical principles. It can reduce air resistance when swung and is easy to control. Some chrysanthemum waist clearing knives may also have blood grooves, which can not only reduce the weight of the blade, but also enhance its killing power and aesthetic appeal.
Handle: The shape and length design conform to ergonomics, making it convenient for users to grip with one or both hands. The handle is made of hardwood and other materials, with a hard texture and beautiful texture; And materials such as cow horns and jade are even more magnificent and precious. The wrapping of silk thread, leather or fish skin not only provides anti slip effect, but also increases the comfort of grip.
Equipment: The chrysanthemum pattern on the surface of the scabbard is exquisitely carved, with clear and visible details such as petals and stamens. The lines are smooth and natural, with a strong sense of three dimensionality. Some even use hollow carving techniques to make the pattern more vivid and realistic. The painting process can make the surface of the scabbard colorful and glossy, with common colors such as black, red, brown, etc., complementing the chrysanthemum pattern. The design of accessories such as cutlery and blade heads is also coordinated with the overall style, and some may be inlaid with gemstones, gold and silver, etc., adding a sense of luxury and value to the waist knife.
