Start a blacksmith shop

Chapter 32
"It's been filmed, it's been filmed, don't worry, not a single shot will be missed, and let the organizing committee see the complete process."

Guo Shugui said to Li Zhenhua who was walking in front.

Li Zhenhua carried the soil, returned to the blacksmith shop, and put the dug raw soil together with the previous materials.

Liu Xiaodong put the two tools he was holding in the corner, and then came to Li Zhenhua's side.

Watching Li Zhenhua holding a measuring tool, playing with the prepared raw materials.

"What are you preparing for? I don't understand so much?
This is charcoal, coal, and the soil dug back. "

Facing Liu Xiaodong's questioning, Li Zhenhua weighed the various raw materials while answering Liu Xiaodong's questioning.

"Hehe, I don't understand, I am preparing something for quenching,
My name is Burning the Blade with Soil. Do you know what is Burning the Blade with Soil?
This is a unique quenching method. In fact, the principle is very simple, that is, only the blade is quenched, and the rest of the blade is not quenched.

I'll explain it to you while I'm making it, so you're watching it! "

Li Zhenhua said that the movement of his hands did not stop, but took a measuring cup and put some iron powder in it.

Immediately, in Li Zhenhua's eyes, he saw the weight of the iron powder, iron powder: 1000G.

Pour the iron powder in the measuring cup into a basin, and use the measuring cup to measure other raw materials.

After a while, iron powder, raw soil, borax, charcoal powder, and carbon powder were poured into the basin, all of which were weighed according to the ratio given by the analytical eye.

Li Zhenhua held an iron rod and stirred in the basin, and the various ingredients in the basin were fully fused together.

Holding a gourd ladle in the water tank on the side, scoop out a ladle of water and pour it into the basin.

The small iron rod played its role again, and just stirred in the basin like this, and saw that various things in the basin, mixed with water, turned into a basin of thin mud.

"Fatty, look, this is the soil that will be applied to the knife body in a while, cover the knife body in a while, put it in the furnace to heat,

After the mud-coated blade was burned to a certain temperature, I put it directly into the water,

In this way, the exposed blade can be cooled rapidly, and the purpose of quenching has been achieved.

As for the part coated with mud, because the mud is blocking it, this part has not been quenched and still maintains its toughness. "

As Li Zhenhua spoke, the movements of his hands were not affected at all.

Liu Xiaodong and Guo Shugui were on the side, looking like they were being educated.

Li Zhenhua took a small spatula, dug out some mud from the basin, and then painted it on the knife body.

In a short while, the body of the knife was covered with mud, and of course the position of the blade was left out.

Li Zhenhua took out a special long wavy ruler from one side, and scraped it near the blade.

I saw a smooth wavy line appearing on the body of the knife near the blade.

Li Zhenhua turned on the electric heating furnace that had been preheated for a long time, and put the blade with the handle tied up with wire into the heating furnace.

After setting the temperature, the next step is to wait for the specific quenching temperature to be reached.

More than ten minutes later, the mud that was smeared on the body before had already solidified on the blade under the high temperature.

And the part of the blade exposed outside has also been burned red and red by the heat in the furnace.

Opening the furnace door, Li Zhenhua took an iron hook and hooked the iron wire on the handle of the knife.

The knife was taken out and exposed to the air. Looking at the temperature displayed in the eyes, it was just right for this quenching.

Without saying a word, Li Zhenhua went directly to the sink full of water.

Immediately afterwards, the knife was immersed in the groundwater, and the top of the sink became foggy again.

After the knife comes into contact with water, the temperature of the exposed blade drops rapidly.

After a while, Li Zhenhua looked into the sink.

The position of the blade in the sink shows that the hardness of the blade has reached 58 in Li Zhenhua's eyes.

Take the knife out of the sink, put him on the real platform with the knife, and use a small hammer to knock off the hardened brick covering on the knife body.

Then the whole bag was presented in front of the three of them.

Liu Xiaodong was also curious, and was a little unclear about Li Zhenhua's burning of the blade to quench the fire this time.

After seeing the knife, he moved towards the handle of the knife.

Just when Liu Xiaodong's hand was about to touch the knife.

"Be careful with your skin, it will burn your hands in a while, don't blame me for not reminding you!"

When Liu Xiaodong heard Li Zhenhua's words, he immediately withdrew his outstretched hand.

When I got back, I saw Liu Xiaodong was still muttering:

"Not all have been quenched, and the knife is not too hot! Why can't you let me experience it first?"

The anvil was cold on the anvil, and Li Zhenhua said this to Liu Xiaodong when he watched the temperature of the knife drop to the point where he could touch it with his hands.

"Go up and get it, let you feel it first, remember to send it to me later, and I will prepare things for later use."

After speaking, Li Zhenhua walked to the corner and moved the long bench to the center of the yard.

He went back to the house on the first floor, walked out with a stack of sandpaper, and sat down on the long bench.

Liu Xiaodong was also very discerning, and handed the knife in his hand to Li Zhenhua.

"It feels easier to use, but the handle is too uncomfortable to hold."

Li Zhenhua looked at the fat Liu Xiaodong with eyes like he was looking at a fool.

"Grass, it's strange to be comfortable. You don't even look at it. Is the handle on the knife?"

After Li Zhenhua finished speaking, he didn't dawdle any longer. After getting the knife, the next step was the same as before, cutting the V, sharpening the blade, and polishing.

After waiting for Li Zhenhua to be busy again for two hours, a dogleg knife without a handle appeared in front of the three of them.

Now this knife, as long as the handle is done, it will be a finished knife.

Cutting melons and vegetables is no problem, even if you take this knife to fight on the battlefield, you won't lose the chain.

A piece of fried steel made from pig iron, and then folded and forged from the fried steel to make pattern steel ([-]-smelting steel),
Finally, the Gurkha knife made of patterned steel was placed on the cabinet on the first floor by Li Zhenhua.

There is also a piece of flannelette under the blade, for fear of ruining the newly polished blade.

"Hua Zi, I'm done with the knife now, should I call the courier brother and ask him to pick up the package!"

Guo Shugui took a camera from the side, and the lens was replaced with a damaged macro lens.

Taking pictures of various details on the body, any scratches on the knife at this moment,
It can all be shown under the lens of the camera.

"The next thing is to send the courier, we can't let the courier brother come over,
Let's go directly to the courier station. When we get there, I have to watch them pack our knives!
Otherwise, I don't worry about whether the courier brother will pack this knife according to my request. "

The three of them took their knives, and Liu Xiaodong drove towards the delivery station.
