Material selection: High-quality steel, such as T10 steel and patterned steel, is usually used. T10 steel has high hardness and good toughness. Patterned steel has beautiful texture, both strength and toughness.

Forging: After several processes such as blank beating, hot forging, shoveling and filing, the steel is repeatedly forged to make its texture more compact, remove impurities and enhance its performance.

Quenching and tempering: the blade is hardened to obtain high hardness, and then tempered to eliminate internal stress, improve toughness, and make the blade rigid and flexible.

Grinding: Hand grinding is the key step. Using different mesh sandpaper and grindstone, from rough grinding to fine grinding, the blade presents a smooth surface and sharp blade, and at the same time shows the texture and texture of steel.

Assembly: The handle is generally made of solid wood, such as rosewood, and pasted with pearl fish skin, and then manually wound with silk thread or leather to increase the comfort and stability of holding. The scabbard is usually made of solid wood, which has been polished and painted.
