The ironware I made shines

Chapter 691 Repeatedly folded and forged kitchen knife embryo

Ge Xiaohua determined the type of kitchen knife he made, and it was relatively effective in execution, so he didn't pay attention to it too much. The partition space allowed Ge Xiaohua to concentrate on the work of making. If it was the kind of 360-degree open forging stage, maybe Ge Xiaohua would still Being impressed by the opponent's superb blacksmithing skills may cause one's own progress to be dropped.

Manual forging is the main reason why this type of traditional kitchen knife can achieve both rigidity and softness. Obviously, Ge Xiaohua will not throw this away. Besides, for this competition, Ge Xiaohua has used some of his own network relationships to get what Ge Xiaohua needs in advance. Some tools were consigned to New York, USA. Because these blacksmithing tools are relatively heavy, they don’t look worth much, so Ge ​​Xiaohua is not worried that these shiny tools will be stolen. Firstly, they can’t see clearly that these tools are shiny. Yes, if you can't know the preciousness of these tools, you will naturally not waste time and energy to get them, and your own safety will be affected, so Ge ​​Xiaohua brought a lot of handy tools when he participated in the competition this time. Besides Ge Xiaohua, other people also brought a lot of handy tools. This is similar to other art professions. They will use some tools that they are used to. The competition side also defaults to using the tools they brought The tools are also in line with the competition system, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Traditional manual forging requires sufficient patience. Ge Xiaohua has been involved in this industry for so many years, and he still has extraordinary patience and tenacity. Therefore, Ge Xiaohua can still forge seemingly endlessly. In fact, the biggest problem is the surrounding various The noise from the forging affected Ge Xiaohua, because you don't know who is forging opposite you, so you always divert your attention to other aspects.

"It doesn't matter who he is, it's enough to do his own thing well!" Ge Xiaohua's attention was highly concentrated, and he concentrated all his energy on forging iron. The rhythm of forging kitchen knives was not interrupted by the noise around him. The sound of iron forging overwhelmed other messy forging sounds, and the sound of iron forging stood out from the crowd like a symphony.

The guests and referees can see the situation of each forging table through monitoring from various angles, and Ge Xiaohua's situation here is still very eye-catching. Regardless of the forging proficiency, every movement seems to be rehearsed thousands of times , is extremely artistic, and the sound it makes is completely different from other noisy and harsh situations. The first impression alone has been recognized by many judges, so the possibility of getting a high score is still very high.

It’s just that Ge Xiaohua didn’t use advanced mechanical forging tools such as air hammers, so his efficiency couldn’t be compared with others. At the beginning, Ge Xiaohua’s movements of swinging the hammer could be said to be smooth and artistic, but after a long time, Others still find it a little boring.

"Is he not tired from forging like this?" This doubt is in the minds of all the watchers. Ge Xiaohua is like a robot, beating the kitchen knife embryo almost continuously, leaving no spare force for each hammer. Forging with all his strength, Ge Xiaohua, who is full of energy, will not stop when forging. Once he stops, the quality of the kitchen knife will go to the next level. This is what Ge Xiaohua does not want to see.

Ge Xiaohua has no concept of time, he will stop forging only if he meets the standard when building and reaches his predetermined feeling. The purpose of folding and forging is to fully remove the impurities in it, and repeated forging can have this effect .

There is no time limit for the competition itself, so Ge ​​Xiaohua is happy to have a leisurely time. He forges here every day. After several days of continuous forging, he found that there is no sound of forging around. Ge Xiaohua is still forging and has reached his goal. I don't know how many times I forged it, except for eating and sleeping, the first thing I did when I woke up was forging. After a few days of hard work, Ge Xiaohua's kitchen knife embryo gradually took shape.

"Finally the forging was successful." Ge Xiaohua just forged a kitchen knife for a few days, and he had already completed his own work. Although Ge Xiaohua's work seems to be very low, considering the time cost of manual forging, In fact, Ge Xiaohua's efficiency is not bad.

After the kitchen knife embryo is completed, Ge Xiaohua also attaches great importance to quenching. The method adopted is similar to that of Tang knives. It is extremely careful, and the temperature is controlled accurately to a few tenths of a degree. The slight difference will also make the coefficients of the kitchen knife different. , so quenching is still very critical.

What Ge Xiaohua seems to create is not a kitchen knife, but a truly peerless famous knife. In fact, his series of operations are as complicated as a sword. Although a kitchen knife is used for cooking, today's kitchen knives are more functional than Swords are more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Nowadays, swords are just works of art, and kitchen knives are not only able to be works of art, but in fact a good kitchen knife is completely the life of a professional chef, and the value produced is still very high, so we say The making of a kitchen knife is actually more difficult than a sword. Today's swords are difficult to use in actual combat. It takes a lot of work on the surface engineering and loses many practical functions. It will not be more on the sword. Work hard on actual combat, so that the sword becomes just a decoration, and there will be more and more bells and whistles.

The quenching was successful, and Ge Xiaohua's kitchen knife was basically settled with light attached. As the first show of the first World Forging Competition, Ge Xiaohua still attached great importance to it. I understand that playing a game in a dark environment can actually test people's strength. Ge Xiaohua is still very experienced in this. these situations.

The kitchen knife was quenched just right, which naturally played a great role in the next work. For grinding, Ge Xiaohua directly used mechanical grinding to improve efficiency. There is a set of professional grinding tools here, so in the grinding process, Ge Xiaohua used the There is not much time, and it is also considering that if the whole process is done by hand, it will actually consume months of time. If the polishing process is done by hand, the time can be said to be unlimited, months or even years of polishing Ge Xiaohua himself has experienced the sharpening of knives, and he has seen other people do the same, so he knows how terrifying the time it takes to sharpen knives by hand.

If Ge Xiaohua can afford to spend another few months on sharpening the knife, the organizers may feel embarrassed. After all, the schedule has been delayed for too long, and it is not good for anyone. Fang and the players can actually afford to wait and understand that Ge Xiaohua strives for perfection, but it is a bit unsightly. Therefore, Ge Xiaohua has considered all objective and subjective conditions, and finally selected the sharpening, decoration and other links to speed up.
