Chapter 20
Amidst the melodious clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang function, a table knife-like blank was taking shape.

Li Zhenhua hit an uneven point on the knife blank with a small hammer, and then Liu Xiaodong's sledgehammer followed.

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

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

Li Zhenhua, who had been lighting a small 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, what Li Zhenhua does is technology, and what Liu Xiaodong sells is strength.

The little hammer stopped and stopped hammering on the anvil. The big hammer stopped when it heard the little hammer stop.

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

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

The knife blank is inserted into the furnace again, where it is slowly burned red.

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

It is necessary to know that the attribute of sharpness is directly related to the hardness of the material.

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

The water was pumped up from the well in his yard by an electric motor.

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

The knife in the furnace was burning red, but in Li Zhenhua's eyes, it showed the real-time temperature of the knife.

When the analytical eye shows, to achieve the optimum quenching temperature.

Li Zhenhua took the clip, took the knife out of the stove, and inserted it into the sink next to it.

After the burning red knife blank entered the water, the water immediately boiled, and water vapor also came out of the water tank.

In a short time, the water surface of the sink could not be seen, and it was all covered by fog.

Holding the knife, let him stay in the water for more than a minute,
Li Zhenhua took out the knife from the sink when he saw that the analytical eye showed that the quenching had been completed.

He walked to the anvil with the knife in his hand, put the knife on the anvil, and Li Zhenhua put the knife aside.

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

In particular, Guo Shugui stretched out his hand directly towards the table knife, wanting to hold the knife in his hand and observe carefully.

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

"Grass, Guoba, you are planning to amputate, you don't want this claw?"

Originally, Guo Shugui had a puzzled look on his face, didn't he just want to see the table knife?
Why did the fat man next to him react so strongly that he couldn't even touch his face.

But after what Liu Xiaodong said, I think about it so 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.

At this time, he stretched out his hand and took the knife into his hand.

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

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

"Cracker, you are a top rich second generation, you must have eaten a lot of Western food,
Then you must have used a lot of western food knives, you can try it with 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 held it in his hand to feel it.

The handle of the table knife is held in the hand, and with the correct posture of holding the knife, I feel the feeling of using the knife with my heart.

When Guo Shugui was doing some movements, the knife in his hand was extremely comfortable.

"Huazi, this knife is very comfortable. I feel very comfortable to use it. It's really a good knife. If it's used to cut steak, it would be so comfortable."

After hearing Guo Shugui's words from the side, Li Zhenhua felt joy in his heart.
It seems that the prompt of the Analytical Eye is indeed correct, this knife shape is really a suitable knife shape.

Seeing the heated discussion between the two, Liu Xiaodong also came to Guo Shugui's side,

Taking the knife from his hand, I also felt the comfort of the knife.

"Huazi, didn't you say you wanted to make this knife into a Damascus pattern?
Why is it looking gray now, and there are no patterns at all. "

When Liu Xiaodong was looking 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 and answering Guo Shugui's question.

"Cracker, thank you for saying that you are a loyal audience of the knife forging competition,
don't you knowIn modern technology, the Damascus pattern has to go through the step of pickling.

If it is not pickled, the pattern will not be visible at all in normal times. "

Hearing that Liu Xiaodong was explaining to Guo Shugui, Li Zhenhua stopped his desire to speak.
After Liu Xiaodong finished speaking, Li Zhenhua added a few words later.

"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 some.

It is precisely because of pickling that I chose two kinds of stainless steel,

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

Only in this way, after we talk about the pickling process in a moment,

When the patterns appear, don't mention how beautiful it will be. "

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

After listening to it, he felt a little 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 soon. "

"Don't panic, don't panic, we still have work to do before pickling!"

Li Zhenhua explained to Guo Shugui, but at this moment Liu Xiaodong, who had been gesticulating blindly with a knife, did not understand.

"At this point, has it been completed soon? What steps still need to be taken!"

Li Zhenhua also felt helpless about Liu Xiaodong's question,
How long has it been since the fat man showed off his little knowledge to others just now?Just stuck there with a question.

"Haha, fat man, have you touched your blind spot in knowledge?
I told you when I was a child, let you remember what my grandpa said,

But you just don't listen, okay, now you're going to lose face in front of the newcomers! "

Being squeezed by Li Zhenhua's words, Liu Xiaodong didn't change his expression either.

Instead, he flattered Li Zhenhua.

"Hey hey, then please old man explain to us two!

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