The ironware I made shines

Chapter 229 The Lancet
Ge Xiaohua was a little worried when he saw Yuji Yamamoto's lack of energy. During the battle, he said: "Yamamoto-kun, please cheer up, otherwise you will have no sense of accomplishment if I win."

Yuji Yamamoto's eyes lit up in vain, as if he had been provoked by Ge Xiaohua, he regained his energy all of a sudden, cleared away some of his worries, and focused on the next game.

"Ge Jun, I won't let you down!" Yuji Yamamoto planned to use the strength he had accumulated after losing the game in the United States during this period, and he went to China that time, not just to participate in the Shonan TV program, I also visited some Chinese forging families. Although it was very hard work, I also gained a lot. Through my own summary, I learned a new forging method.

"That's right!" Ge Xiaohua didn't want Yuji Yamamoto to compete in a negative state, so there was nothing to say if he won. Although he had the mentality of winning this round, in other people's territory, he had to win the other party's heart and soul. just work.

The state of the two of them adjusted, Ge Xiaohua did not move, but saw that Yamamoto Yuji's forging method seemed to have changed, the steel material he chose was different from usual, and the frequency of folding and forging also had a huge gap.

"Isn't Yuji Yamamoto forging samurai swords? Then what exactly is he forging?" Not only Ge Xiaohua was puzzled, but even Masaosu Yamamoto and some VIPs were a little confused. Among the guests invited this time were members of the royal family, whose status in Japan is still very high Yes, I prefer to collect swords. I am in my 20s. I am a member of the royal family of the new generation and a fan of Yuji Yamamoto. I have collected many works of Yuji Yamamoto and I am also a loyal fan of Marvel.

"Your Excellency Yamamoto, what did Yuji create?"

"His Royal Highness, from my experience, what he forged is not a samurai sword, but a Chinese sword."

"Then why did he build Chinese swords?"

"It should be to defeat him with the sword of Ge Xiaohua's country."

Ge Xiaohua took a look and roughly understood what Yamamoto Yuji meant.

"Using the same way to return to the other body, Yuji Yamamoto is learning from my method of defeating his brother? Yuji Yamamoto is still too young to forge on this occasion without being familiar with the forging method of Chinese swords." Ge Xiaohua thinks Yuji Yamamoto Some are too radical, and forging in unfamiliar circumstances is tantamount to asking for fun. Since Ge Xiaohua knows that Ge Xiaohuaxiong mainly forges Chinese swords, Ge Xiaohua will not forge Japanese samurai swords.

"What kind of Chinese sword should be made?" Ge Xiaohua's mind flashed a lot of styles of ancient Chinese cold weapons. In China with a long history, the development of cold weapons is also very rapid. It is obvious to all.

It’s just that in modern times, traditional craftsmanship has disappeared, and for the sake of life and reality, many people have given up blacksmithing. After all, not everyone is willing to do the hard work of blacksmithing. The gradually declining blacksmith industry has not emerged a new generation of craftsmen. , the influence in the world is gradually fading, which is why it is difficult for Chinese swords to show their brilliance on the world stage now. It can be seen from world-class movies and anime that katana swords appear more frequently than Chinese swords More, this is the output of culture.

Therefore, Ge Xiaohua has now gone abroad and has the opportunity to appear on many world-level stages, so he has to play a role in publicity.

"Yamamoto Yuji is not yet at the embryonic stage of the sword, and is still forging. It is impossible to know what type of Chinese sword he wants to make, so I have to surprise him." Ge Xiaohua thought about making a lancet, a soldier of the Ming Dynasty Commonly used knives are shaped like willow leaves, hence the name.

The difference from the Yanling knife is that the lancet blade has a wide body, while the Yanling knife is a first-class straight blade, and has a reverse edge. The tip of the knife is curved, resembling a wild goose feather.

These two knives belonged to the more common types of weapons in the Ming Dynasty. Both cavalry and infantry would equip the Lancet Knife. Compared with the Yanling Knife, its cutting power is stronger, with a gentle curve along the blade. The blade is wide and light. It is the same as a martial arts knife in modern times, but the actual combat lancet will not be so thin.

The lancet created by Ge Xiaohua is different from martial arts knives, it is a lancet with actual combat and artistry!

It can be hard, soft, cut, split, and cut. To make a lancet of this level, the requirements for the blade are very high. Therefore, Ge Xiaohua spent a lot of effort in forging. Half a day has passed since Ge Xiaohua's request was met, and Ge Xiaohua is still in the embryonic stage.

"Yamamoto Yuji is actually making Tang Dao!" Ge Xiaohua saw the style of the Chinese sword forged by Yamamoto Yuji. It turned out that he was defeated by Ge Xiaohua's Baixue Tang Dao last time. The understanding of knives, and the beginning to build Tang knives, also have this confidence, after all, the two have something in common.

"It looks good. This Tang knife seems to be well-made, and it has more advantages than the details I made. It is worthy of being a Japanese knife forging master." Ge Xiaohua praised sincerely. It is Ge Xiaohua who values ​​the enemy and does not underestimate it. Knowing the strategy of Yuji Yamamoto, Ge Xiaohua stepped up the forging, the knife blank was made, Ge Xiaohua carried out quenching, and spent a lot of effort on quenching.

"Stab it!" Check the temperature of the fire. When the flame turned from red to blue and reached 2800 degrees Celsius, Ge Xiaohua knew that the time for quenching had come. He clamped the knife blank and put it in the pool for quenching.

After quenching, the bending range of the knife blank meets the requirements, forming an extremely strong cutting force, and the knife blank after heat treatment is both rigid and flexible. Under the use of experts, many possibilities can be created.

"The knife embryo has been completed, and it has reached the level of softness and rigidity. Is this the willow leaf blowing in the wind?" Ge Xiaohua fiddled with the knife embryo with the pliers, and the sound of the blade rattling sounded, showing that the blade was indeed as thin as a cicada's wing.

But this is just an illusion. When fighting, the blade is as strong as it is strong, which is a bit similar to a non-Newtonian body.

After the knife embryo is finished, Ge Xiaohua is making the scabbard and handle. These are all to be made. A good weapon should have everything it should have. You can’t cut corners because it’s a competition, and half a day is enough to complete the rest Things, of course, in terms of grinding and polishing, Ge Xiaohua will not fall behind. With the assistance of machinery, if it is manually polished, the time spent will be dozens of times, and it will be much improved by using machinery, which greatly improves the efficiency.

This is also a commonly used grinding method during competitions. If a whetstone is used, it may take more than a month to polish and polish a knife with the efficiency of Yamamoto Yuda. Although it is better than mechanical grinding, the gap is not large in this case. will be too big.

Of course, to keep improving, it is better to sharpen the blade with a whetstone. This must be admitted, and it can increase the patience and perseverance of the craftsman.

When Ge Xiaohua is free, he is also willing to use the whetstone to grind slowly. What he enjoys is the process and what he exercises is his state of mind. Now Ge Xiaohua is very handy in the use of machinery for competitions. In the situation where he does not enjoy the artistic essence of hand forging cold weapons Under the circumstances, it is more reasonable to improve efficiency.

Three days passed quickly. Ge Xiaohua challenged the Korean knife forging master Li Zhongwen, the Japanese forging masters Yamamoto Yudai, and Yamamoto Yuji in Japan. Now it is the level of Yamamoto Yuji. It depends on the results of today's review.
