HANDCRAFTED WITH EXQUISITE CRAFTSMANSHIP
Hand-Hammering: In the first step of knife making, the craftsman uses a forging hammer and hand techniques to heat a raw block of steel to the proper temperature and, through repeated fine hammering, shape the steel into the initial shape of the knife. This process requires not only an experienced craftsman but also an in-depth understanding of metal properties.
High-heat treatment: During the manufacturing process, knives undergo high-temperature treatments, usually quenching and tempering. First, the tool is quenched to cool it quickly to increase its hardness. Then it is tempered to reduce internal stresses and increase toughness by controlling the heating temperature and time to ensure that the tool is less likely to break in use.
Repeated forging and tempering: To achieve higher strength and better flexibility, craftsmen repeatedly forge and temper. This process is designed to further improve the lattice structure of the steel and adjust its properties to make knives more durable and keep them sharp.
Fine cutting edge: The final step is to finely carve and polish the blade. At this stage, craftsmen use a variety of sharpening tools, including grinding wheels and whetstones, to polish and sharpen the blades to ensure that they have excellent sharpness and smoothness for optimal cutting results when in use.
