Pattern steel hand forged short Tang horizontal knife integrated

Description

The hand forged short Tang horizontal knife with patterned steel has many characteristics. The following is a detailed introduction:
Material characteristics
Unique pattern formation: Pattern steel is made by repeatedly folding and forging steel with different carbon contents. In this process, different materials of steel blend and interweave with each other, forming patterns in shapes such as feathers, waves, clouds, etc.
Combining high strength and good toughness: Folding forging makes the internal structure of the steel more dense and uniform, impurities are eliminated, and the combination of steel with different carbon contents allows the tool to have both high hardness and good toughness. High hardness ensures the sharpness and wear resistance of the blade, maintaining good cutting performance; Good toughness makes the blade less prone to breakage and able to withstand significant impact forces.
Craftsmanship
Forging: The craftsman heats the patterned steel billet to a high temperature to make it plastic, and then repeatedly strikes it with tools such as hammers and hammers. Through continuous forging, the steel gradually takes shape into the blade shape of the Tang horizontal knife, while the internal structure becomes tighter and the forging texture becomes clearer and more unique.
Heat treatment: including key processes such as quenching and tempering. During quenching, the blade is heated to a specific temperature and rapidly cooled to increase its hardness. However, this process can cause internal stress, which can easily lead 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 the toughness of the tool, and achieve the optimal performance state of combining rigidity and flexibility.
Grinding: First, use coarse grit grinding stones to remove the unevenness and burrs on the surface of the blade, and then use grinding stones with increasing grit numbers for fine grinding in sequence, making the surface of the blade smoother and ultimately achieving a mirror effect, while maximizing the sharpness and uniformity of the blade.
exterior design
Blade design: Short Tang horizontal knives typically have a blade length of around 30-60 centimeters. The overall line is smooth and straight, with the width gradually narrowing from the blade root to the tip, and the tip of the blade being sharp. This shape not only conforms to the principles of mechanics, but also reduces air resistance during swinging, making it easy to control and achieving high precision in piercing.
Equipment matching: The handle is usually made of hardwood and wrapped with silk thread, leather, or fish skin to provide a good grip and comfort, while also having a certain anti slip effect. The scabbard is mostly made of wood and may have exquisite carvings, paints, or inlaid decorations on the surface, complementing the blade and showcasing the unique charm and cultural connotations of Tang horizontal knives.
Functional purpose
Martial arts practice: Its length and weight are moderate, suitable for martial arts enthusiasts to practice swordsmanship. It can help practitioners improve their body coordination, flexibility, and strength, showcase various martial arts movements and techniques, and enhance their martial arts level.
Collection and Decoration: Tang horizontal knives have a profound historical and cultural heritage, and the short Tang horizontal knives hand forged with patterned steel blend traditional craftsmanship with unique beauty, possessing high artistic and collectible value. They can be displayed as collectibles, adding a cultural atmosphere to the space.
Film and television props: In some ancient costume dramas, they are often used as props, which can effectively restore historical scenes and add realism and visual effects to film and television works.
