Ge Xiaohua carefully appreciated the Miao Knife made by his father Ge Jianguo. The five-foot Miao Knife is extremely slender, with a length of about 1.6 meters, which is about the same height as a person. Ge Xiaohua's height is 1.75 meters, which is considered to be the upper-middle level in the south, and weighs about 130 kilograms. Because of his improvement in cooking skills, he eats relatively nutritiously and has a very strong figure.

It may be average in the north, with a strong body. After this period of ironworking, the figure is extremely perfect, especially the upper body. Because of the long-term knocking of the iron hammer, the muscles are kneaded and full of strength, it feels like a bodybuilding coach. In the south, it is considered a tall and powerful muscular man, which is completely opposite to the previous gentle and sub-healthy mechanical engineer. Different working environments create different physical states.

Therefore, it is quite good to hold the Miao knife in your hand. If he is a little shorter, then the Miao knife will appear a bit cumbersome. The reason why Miao knife, which can be used as a knife or a gun, can advance, attack, retreat or defend is on the one hand. Only when it reaches a length of about five feet can it act as a knife and gun. The extension of the attack distance can only depend on the length. Only when iron is refined into steel can it achieve this level of hardness and softness. Bronze can only be forged to about 40 cm, which is also a limitation of material.

The curve of the blade of Miao Dao is not as exaggerated as the samurai sword. It is generally a straight blade, but it has a little curve at the end. The Miao Dao is longer, and the slashing and piercing effect is better. Relatively speaking, another type of embroidered spring sword, which is also a tool of the same period, is relatively short and suitable for frequent wear. Therefore, it is the exclusive weapon of the Jinyiwei and has a more exquisite shape.

The handle and scabbard are decorated with copper patterns, and are coated with thin gold. They are magnificent and have murderous intentions. This Miao Knife is designed for practical combat.

The office was unable to be used, Ge Xiaohua admired it for a while and said, "Dad, I'll take the knife back to study it. I'll take it home in a few days and I won't bring it to the office."

"I know, you are afraid that the impact is not good, so okay, take it away, be careful and don't break it." As the highest forging of Ge Jianguo, Miao Dao, he created it in his heyday. He was about 38 years old, and it was more than ten years old. He often took it out for maintenance and recalling his iron-making career at that time, it is still vivid in my memory.

However, this society is so realistic, and even more so in county towns. Not only does it have a high social status, it is not hard to work. It can bring stable income to the family, give up its ideals, and bow its head in reality. In fact, Ge Jianguo envies Ge Xiaohua very much.

Ge Xiaohua brought the Menghua sword he created and the Miaodao forged by Ge Jianguo back to the blacksmith shop, and the matter of coming to the county town was basically handled.

In the yard, Ge Xiaohua brought a long table with two weapons on it. The Miaodao was very long and part of it was hanging on it, which seemed a little inconsistent.

Ge Xiaohua pulled up the Miao sword and started to dance in the yard. He practiced randomly with chopping, piercing, cross-legging and other moves. He thought it was pretty good. The Miao sword created by Ge Jianguo was exquisitely crafted, moderately weighted, short, medium and long distances, and was considered a magic weapon. Moreover, the Miao sword played an active role in the anti-Japanese war. It can be seen that the Miao sword is powerful, but the Miao sword craftsmanship is still very rough now. The Miao sword craftsmanship in the heyday of the Ming Dynasty was basically lost, so they were all passed down to the Republic of China period, and they were all half-knowing and had no complete production craftsmanship. You should know that magic weapons and weapons, different links, will lead to strong and sharp situations.

"The Miao Knife craftsmanship was explored and summarized by the ancestors of the Ge family. My father's Miao Knife craftsmanship is already perfect, but I always feel that there is a little less." Ge Xiaohua is no longer a newbie who has just entered the path of blacksmith. He has a lot of ideas and rich experience. After reading, touching and using it, he came to these conclusions, so this Miao Knife cannot be brought to the Hong Kong Exhibition Center.

"The samurai sword borrows from the essence of the Tang sword and the Miao sword, and then creates a system of famous swords. As the three famous swords in the world, the influence of the samurai sword can be imagined. Is it okay to reverse it?" Ge Xiaohua thought for a while. The ancestors of the samurai sword borrowed from the essence of the Tang sword and the Miao sword. Through friendly exchanges between the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, the samurai sword developed to the extreme. Today, the production process of the samurai sword far away from the Tang sword and the Miao sword, and there is no comparison.

Ge Xiaohua realized this and knew the principle of learning from his strengths and weaknesses. Since the production process was backward, he had to study hard without being too arrogant or arrogant. He felt that there was nothing good about samurai swords. In fact, there were many things that could be learned from samurai swords.

"Well, it's time to buy a samurai sword to learn, absorb the production process from it, and strengthen the creation techniques of the Miao sword." Ge Xiaohua's retort is to learn from the samurai sword, because there is the shadow of the Miao sword and the Tang sword, which just can make up for the lost part.

Ge Xiaohua couldn't afford a real samurai sword, and he didn't want to spend money to buy it, so he could only buy a samurai sword online, worth about 500 yuan. Of course, this samurai sword is made of domestic, produced by the northern blacksmith shop, and it is a product of a machine. It's a big deal to say that it is a craft, but Ge Xiaohua also wanted to buy it and try it. Even if he couldn't learn anything, he wouldn't lose too much. Because of the rush in time, Ge Xiaohua added some more money and asked the other party to send a tailwind express delivery. He came from the north to the south within three days. In this way, Ge Xiaohua could take a day to appreciate the samurai sword made by the knights bought online. Although it was a handmade product and there was no smelting method, it was better to have any. He wanted to see if he could burst out inspiration through this study.

Ge Xiaohua's learning attitude is still OK. If he doesn't know, he doesn't know. Then he can only make up for it.

Ge Xiaohua, who bought a samurai sword, would not waste these days. In addition to checking relevant information, Ge Xiaohua also tried to build a few Miao swords. It was not smooth at the beginning. There was a problem during quenching. The blade body broke from it because the blade body is about 1.5 meters, including the handle, is more than 1.6 meters. With such a long blade body, the quenching is not successful and the hardness and flexibility cannot be achieved. It is normal to break it.

In addition to the extremely difficult quenching, forging is also a physical job. The second one is that because of insufficient forging, there is a gap in the blade body. Various problems have caused Ge Xiaohua to have a headache.

Ge Xiaohua, who went to the county town to pick up the express delivery, put the Miao Dao that Ge Jianguo cherished very much back into his study at home, and left a message to explain the situation. He hurried to Shunfeng Express to pick up the samurai sword.
