Chapter 193
Sun Chong and the others all stared at Lin Xu with their eyes wide open, with complex expressions on their faces!
Because they all know that Lin Xu never speaks big talk!
However, Zhang Lie is just a blacksmith in a rural mountain village. He usually forged some hoes, sickles and other farm tools. He has never heard of him being able to forge weapons such as swords. How could he suddenly forge the highest-level scimitar in the world?
Looking at their surprised look, Lin Xu smiled again on the corner of his mouth. He did not brag. This is indeed the highest-level knife in the world at present!
Because, this is the famous Damascus knife!
In the last life, Damascus knife was known as the "world's number one knife". While its multi-layer composite forging, it maintains high hardness, it also has excellent toughness and elasticity. The internal composite structure allows it to absorb the vibrations caused by the sword when it bumps, causing it to blow hair and break hair, cut iron like mud, and still keep itself intact!
It can be said that this scimitar with excellent performance was designed for war!
However, in the cold weapons era in the last life, no country used Damascus swords as conventional weapons to equip them, mainly because the forging process of this kind of swords is very complicated, and each one needs to be tempered by an experienced blacksmith and cannot be mass-produced at all!
Compared with other weapons, the production efficiency is much lower!
In addition, in addition to taking into account both hardness and toughness, Damascus knife can also form beautiful patterns like flowing water during casting, and it also has some high-end and mysterious attributes!
Therefore, Damascus knife has become a complete luxury!
Every knife is a sky-high price, and only those nobles and their personal guards will be equipped.
Speaking of which, the production process of Damascus knife is not complicated. In fact, it is just to stack steel of different hardness together, and after repeated pounding and folding, it is done!
This is what the so-called "hundreds of tempering into steel" means!
Before leaving for Hangzhou, Lin Xu taught Zhang Lie this technique and had experimented with him many times.
However, although the production process of Damascus knife is not complicated, the types and proportions of various steels mixed with different forging times, times, temperatures, etc. will eventually have a great impact on the finished product!
They had experimented together many times, but Lin Xu was not satisfied.
During the two months he set out to Hangzhou, Zhang Lie went through countless experiments and finally successfully made the world's first Damascus knife this morning!
So he excitedly came to Lin Xu with a knife!
Huo Qingyun also came over. The moment he saw the scimitar, his face was immediately filled with shock!
The Huns were extremely martial nations. After becoming the Khan's personal guard, they were qualified to enter the Khan's private arsenal and witnessed various weapons. Therefore, they were also a person who knew the goods!
Although he is an archer who wins every opportunity, his favorite weapon is always a knife!
This is also the reason why he only took Khan's sword away after killing Khan!
So, he could see at a glance that this scimitar covered with mysterious patterns might be stronger than the Khan sword in his hand!
"Sir, you said before that you can create a better sword than my scimitar. Is this kind of sword?"
Huo Qingyun, such a calm person, couldn't help but tremble when he said this.
"Yes, that's the knife."
Lin Xu smiled slightly.
"Can I give it a try?"
"sure!"
Lin Xu handed the scimitar directly to Huo Qingyun.
After taking the scimitar, Huo Qingyun gently stroked it with two fingers, then took out a copper coin, threw it out casually, and then slashed it with a backhand!
