Red Lotus Craft Hand Forged Bull Tail Knife

Description

process characteristics
Hand forging: Experienced blacksmiths heat steel to high temperatures to make it plastic, and then repeatedly hammer it to remove impurities from the steel, making the internal structure of the steel denser and more uniform, thereby improving the strength and toughness of the cutting tool. During the forging process, masters rely on their exquisite skills and precise grasp of heat and strength to give oxtail knives unique shapes and textures one by one. Each knife contains the craftsman’s hard work and wisdom, with a unique personality and soul.
Fine grinding: After multiple grinding processes, different grit grinding stones are used to grind the blade from coarse to fine. First, 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 smoother until a mirror like effect is achieved. During the grinding process, craftsmen need to constantly check the flatness and angle of the blade to ensure its sharpness and uniformity, ultimately achieving the best cutting performance.
Quenching and tempering treatment: Quenching is a key step in improving the hardness and strength of cutting tools. Heat the forged blade to a specific temperature and quickly cool it in a coolant to change the microstructure of the steel, thereby obtaining the desired hardness. However, internal stress is generated during the quenching process, which can easily lead to tool brittleness and therefore requires tempering treatment. Tempering is the process of reheating the blade to a lower temperature, maintaining it for a period of time, and then slowly cooling it to eliminate internal stress and improve the toughness of the tool. This allows the tool to withstand a certain degree of impact and bending without easily breaking, while maintaining its sharpness.
exterior design
Blade shape: The blade of the oxtail knife has a unique shape resembling a oxtail, gradually widening from the base to the tip, and the blade presents a smooth arc shape. This design enables the oxtail knife to better utilize the weight and inertia of the blade during chopping, increasing the cutting force and effect, while also facilitating quick swinging and turning in close combat, with strong flexibility and practicality. The element of “Red Lotus Industry Fire” may be presented on the blade in the form of carving, etching, etc., such as carving red lotus flowers, flame patterns, etc. on the surface of the blade, making it more artistic and mysterious.
Size specifications: The common “Red Lotus Industry Fire” hand forged oxtail knife has a total length of about 90-100 centimeters, with a blade length of about 70-80 centimeters and a handle length of about 20 centimeters. The specific dimensions may vary depending on different styles and uses, but overall they follow the traditional size range of oxtail knives to ensure their rationality in use and storage.
Decorative details: In addition to the “Red Lotus Industry Fire” pattern on the blade, the equipment will also be carefully decorated. The handle of the knife may be embedded with precious materials such as gemstones and jade, or carved with exquisite patterns and designs that correspond to the theme of the blade. There will also be various decorative elements on the scabbard, such as metal carved red lotus, flame patterns, or using techniques such as gilding and silver inlay, making the scabbard more gorgeous and exquisite, showcasing a unique artistic style and cultural connotation.
