Start with a blacksmith shop

Amidst this pleasant clanking sound, a knife blank that looks like a table knife is taking shape.

Li Zhenhua used a small hammer to hit an uneven spot on the knife blank, and lightly hammered it, and then Liu Xiaodong's sledgehammer followed up.

The small hammer struck on the anvil, and the sledgehammer hit the blade blank where the small hammer had just struck.

In Li Zhenhua's eyes, the raised point on the blade was flattened by Liu Xiaodong's sledgehammer.

Li Zhenhua, who had been tapping the hammer on the anvil, hammered another point on the knife blank.

It can be said that the small hammer is the command, the big hammer is the coolie, Li Zhenhua is doing technology, and Liu Xiaodong is selling strength.

The small hammer stopped and stopped hammering on the anvil. When the sledgehammer heard the small hammer stop, it also stopped with the sledgehammer.

The knife blank held in Li Zhenhua's hand has now turned into a table knife.

Except that it is not that eye-catching at this time, the rest is no different from a table knife for sale.

The knife blank was inserted into the furnace again and slowly burned red in the furnace.

The next step is the quenching step. This knife is used to cut meat, so it must be sharper.

You must know that the attribute of sharpness is directly related to the hardness of the material.

Therefore, Li Zhenhua did not choose other quenching solutions for the quenching of this table knife, but directly used groundwater.

This water was pumped up by a motor from the well in his courtyard.

This water is extremely rich in minerals. When the family settled here in the town, it was directly related to this well.

The knife in the furnace burned red, and in Li Zhenhua's eyes, it displayed the real-time temperature of the knife.

As shown in the Eye of Analysis, to achieve the optimal quenching temperature.

Li Zhenhua took the clamp, took out the table knife from the stove, and inserted it into the sink next to it.

After the red-hot blade entered the water, the water immediately boiled and steam came out of the water tank.

After a while, the water surface of the tank could no longer be seen, and it was all covered by the mist.

Holding the knife, he stayed in the water for more than a minute.

When he saw that the analysis eye showed that the quenching had been completed, Li Zhenhua took out the knife in the sink.

He walked to the anvil with the knife and put the knife on the anvil. Li Zhenhua put the clip aside.

Li Zhenhua stood next to the anvil, and Guo Shugui and Liu Xiaodong also came over.

Especially Guo Shugui, he stretched out his hand directly towards the table knife, wanting to take the knife that had been punched out and observe it carefully.

But just as he was about to stretch his hand forward, before it touched the knife, Liu Xiaodong grabbed his hand.

"Fuck, Guoba, you are planning to amputate your leg. Do you want your claws anymore?"

Guo Shugui originally had a puzzled look on his face, didn't he just want to see the knife?

Why did the fat man next to him react so strongly that he couldn't even touch his face?

But after hearing what Liu Xiaodong said, and thinking about it carefully,

He immediately knew why.

Li Zhenhua waited by the anvil for a while. His eyes showed that the temperature of the knife had dropped to more than 40 degrees.

Only then did he reach over and take the knife into his own hand.

Li Zhenhua held the knife in his hand and grasped the handle, feeling how comfortable the knife was.

After feeling it for himself, he handed the knife to Guo Shugui.

"Guo Ba, you are a top second generation rich man. You must have eaten a lot of Western food.

Well, you must have used a lot of Western knives. Try this knife.

Look at the shape of this knife. Is it comfortable to use? If it feels uncomfortable, I can adjust it in time. "

Guo Shugui took it and felt it in his hand.

Hold the handle of the table knife in your hand, use the correct posture to hold the knife, and feel the feeling of using the knife with your heart.

When Guo Shugui made some moves, the knife in his hand felt extremely comfortable.

"Hua Zi, this knife is very comfortable. I feel very comfortable using it. It's such a good knife. If this is used to cut steak, it would be so comfortable."

After Li Zhenhua heard Guo Shugui's words from the side, he felt a burst of joy in his heart.

It seems that the tip of the Analytical Eye is indeed correct. This knife shape is really a suitable shape.

Liu Xiaodong saw the heated discussion between the two and came to Guo Shugui's side.

He took the knife from his hand and felt the comfort of the knife.

"Hua Zi, didn't you say you wanted to make this knife into a Damascus pattern?

Why does it look so gray now, with no patterns at all? "

Just when Liu Xiaodong looked at the knife in his hand, Guo Shugui asked his question.

When Li Zhenhua was about to answer Guo Shugui's seemingly simple question,

Liu Xiaodong was on the sidelines, holding a knife to answer Guo Shugui's question.

"Cookba, it's a shame that you said you were a loyal spectator of the knife forging competition before.

Don't you know? In modern craftsmanship, Damascus patterns all go through the pickling step.

Without pickling, this pattern would not be visible at all. "

Hearing Liu Xiaodong explaining to Guo Shugui, Li Zhenhua stopped wanting to talk.

After Liu Xiaodong finished speaking, Li Zhenhua added a few words.

"The fat man is right, it's because it hasn't been pickled yet.

This pattern is not very obvious, but if you look carefully, you can still see it.

It is precisely because of the need for pickling that I chose two types of stainless steel.

One is corrosion-resistant, and the other is not very good in corrosion resistance. Of course, these two stainless steels are relatively speaking.

Only in this way, after we will talk about the pickling process later,

When the pattern appears, don't mention how beautiful it will be. "

Guo Shugui, who was not very clear about this matter, stood quietly and listened to their popular science.

After listening to it, he felt impatient and said to Li Zhenhua:

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's start this step now!

I have the urge to see the finished product as soon as possible. "

"Don't panic, don't panic, we still have some processes to complete before pickling!"

Li Zhenhua explained to Guo Shugui, but when Liu Xiaodong, who had been making blind gestures with a knife, heard this, he was a little confused.

"At this point, has it been completed soon? Are there any steps left to be done?"

Li Zhenhua also felt a little helpless about Liu Xiaodong's problem.

How long has it been since this fat man showed off his little knowledge to others? I was stuck on one question.

"Haha, Fatty, have you touched your knowledge blind spot?

When you were a child, I told you to remember what my grandpa said carefully.

But you just didn’t listen, well, now you’re embarrassed in front of the newcomers! "

Confused by Li Zhenhua's words, Liu Xiaodong did not change his expression.

Instead, he looked at Li Zhenhua with a flattering expression.

"Hehehe, please explain it to the two of us, please!

Let us, the fish in the small pond, also see whether the water in the sea is sweet or salty. "
