The ironware I made shines

Chapter 169
"Broken copper and iron? Renovation and repair?" Ge Xiaohua immediately recalled his own renovation and repair experience, and he didn't seem to have much experience in this area.

"By the way, I refurbished the old antique foot-operated semi-automatic knife sharpening machine in the warehouse at home. Occasionally, it works well, and it's not that I don't know anything about refurbishment." Ge Xiaohua listened to John's introduction there. After a while, the focus was not on what he said, but on the various rags on the table, trying to find artifacts worth repairing among the garbage.

Yuji Yamamoto, like Ge Xiaohua, is observing these broken things and thinking of turning waste into treasure. This is also the theme of this time. He wants to win this round more than Ge Xiaohua, because once it is 3:1, no matter if it is a competitive match or what kind of match , Yamamoto Yuji is very difficult to reverse, and the psychological pressure is still great.

After John's introduction, some of the recording process also ended. It was Ge Xiaohua and Yamamoto Yuji's turn to choose the refurbished and restored utensils. Everyone was very nervous. How to choose?It was still the way of tossing a coin. In the end, Ge Xiaohua was lucky and got the right of first choice.

Ge Xiaohua had a rusty knife from the very beginning. He felt that this knife was very similar to a Chinese item, so he chose this rusty knife as a restoration work.

What Yuji Yamamoto chose was a junk product that looked like a Nordic hunting knife. The rusty hunting knife was even detached from the handle, and it was just a rusty blade. Yuji Yamamoto was attracted at a glance. In his opinion, With his skills, this Nordic hunting knife can shine again.

"This is?" Ge Xiaohua put the knife on the forging table, looked it over carefully, and found that the knife was very short, shaped like a broken sword, about one foot and one inch, and the handle had fallen off, leaving only one blade, because it was made of iron. Because of the quality, it has been mottled after years of baptism.

"Those who follow me prosper and those who oppose me perish." Ge Xiaohua carefully looked at the words engraved on the knife with a magnifying glass, not only Chinese characters but also Manchu.

"The weapon of the Qing Dynasty, Shun Dao!" Ge Xiaohua has done some work on ancient cold weapons. Shun Dao is not only a cold weapon in the Qing Dynasty, but also a weapon specially equipped for the Ruijian Camp. It can be seen that Shun Dao's status at that time, Similar to the sabers currently equipped by special forces, they are all small and portable, with functionality and lethality.

Ge Xiaohua was not in a hurry to repair and build, but carefully observed the blade, blade, and end of the Shun Dao.

"Being able to engrave such a paragraph of text is bilingual in Chinese and Manchu. It can be seen that this Shun Dao is quite old, and it is an antique." Ge Xiaohua saw the patina on it and knew that it was the imprint of the age. The pulp is gone, and there is no sense of age. Although this kind of pulp is not brought by the human plate, but rust and dirt are deposited, but without this layer of pulp, how can it be an antique?The value alone will be greatly compromised.

"Based on the general situation, refurbishment must be polished and polished, especially for ironware, which also needs to be soaked in a rust removal solution or electrolytically removed." Ge Xiaohua glanced at Yuji Yamamoto. He is doing rust removal work. Nordic hunting knife In his hand, it can easily become a "new knife", probably sharper and more exquisite than when this Nordic hunting knife was made.

"The restoration and refurbishment is not only to make its practical function, but also for nostalgia." Ge Xiaohua has his own idea of ​​restoration and refurbishment, and has determined that this Shun knife is an antique knife from the Qing Dynasty. As a Chinese, he has the obligation He is even more obliged to protect antique cultural relics, and they are antiques living abroad. According to the regulations of the program group, this tattered Shun Dao was already in his possession when Ge Xiaohua chose it, so no matter how well it is restored, he will can be brought back home.

This is also a kind of welfare measure for the program group. In their opinion, these things are worthless at all. The labor cost of a blacksmith master, and the value of worthless scrap metal will double.

What the program crew didn't know was that this Shun Dao was an antique, and even if Ge Xiaohua didn't renovate it, it would be worth a lot of money. After all, it was from the Qing Dynasty, and it was definitely hundreds of years old.

Ge Xiaohua is unwilling to polish the patina and writing on the blade, but the blade can be repaired.

Ge Xiaohua polished the blade, as well as the handle at the end, which Ge Xiaohua focused on making. After all, the original handle fell off, and a new handle had to be made.

And the hilt of the knife should be combined with the whole of the Shun knife. Ge Xiaohua first carved some patterns on the hilt, referring to the style of the Qing Dynasty, and carved some bats, jewelry, etc., adding a touch of wealth and nobility , was originally a special weapon for the Ruijian Camp, so it must have some unique features, and the handle alone must be magnificent.

The handle of the knife has been polished and inlaid on the body of the knife. Except for one more handle than before, there is not much change on the whole. His restoration is to maintain the original existence, which is different from the "big change" of Yuji Yamamoto.

The polished and shiny Nordic hunting knife fits perfectly with the wooden scabbard made by Yuji Yamamoto. If you hadn’t watched the whole process of polishing and polishing, you would have thought it was a newly made Nordic hunting knife and it had been heat-treated again. The rigidity and flexibility of the blade has been improved several levels for the old Nordic hunting knife.

"Okay, the works of the two masters have been completed, please Master Yuji Yamamoto to show the weapon you restored." After John finished speaking, Yuji Yamamoto introduced it with a Nordic hunting knife, and carried out the test with the test items brought by the staff. In the test, its sharpness, sturdiness, reliability and other aspects were tested, and the guest judges gave the score, and the combination was the score of this competition.

Outside the venue, Wang Dachui saw Ge Xiaohua's work, and said with some concern: "Sister Guo, look at the knife he repaired by Brother Hua, it doesn't seem to have changed much? It's just a handle added? Not even the blade is polished, it's black and lacquered. Why is the knife the same as before?"

"I don't know. We are laymen in forging. Let's see what A Hua has to say." The judges of this round occupy an important position and are related to the outcome of this round, so the scores given by each judge are quite important. The most important thing is to have good eloquence. Only by being able to express some characteristics of your own works and convince the judges can you have a chance to win.

Yuji Yamamoto’s score is 9 points, which is still relatively high. It is already a sure win. The Nordic hunting knife he repaired and refurbished is more in line with the aesthetics of Europeans and Americans, and the repair is extremely perfect, which is even better than the original Nordic hunting knife. , this is the highest state of restoration and renovation, at least in the eyes of these people.

When it was Ge Xiaohua's turn, he walked to the center in a leisurely manner, and faced the judges from all walks of life, he was neither humble nor overbearing, and began to introduce his repair process.
