Chapter 20 The Largest-Shape Is The Best
Amid this pleasant clanging, a knife-shaped blade was taking shape.
Li Zhenhua used his small hammer to hit an uneven spot on the blade. Then, Liu Xiaodong’s huge hammer followed.
The small hammer hammered on the anvil. The large hammer hit the anvil where the small hammer had just struck.
In Li Zhenhua’s eyes, the protruding point on the blade was flattened by Liu Xiaodong’s sledgehammer.
Li Zhenhua, who had been tapping the small hammer on the anvil, hammered another point on the anvil.
It could be said that Little Hammer was the commander, while Big Hammer was the coolie. Li Zhenhua was in the technical field, while Liu Xiaodong was in the labor field.
The small hammer stopped, no longer on the anvil. The big hammer stopped when it heard the small hammer stop.
The knife in Li Zhenhua’s hand had now become a table knife.
Other than the fact that it wasn’t that eye-catching yet, the rest was no different from a table knife for sale.
The knife was inserted into the furnace again and slowly burned red in the furnace.
The next step was the quenching process. The knife had to be cut into meat, so it had to be sharper.
The sharpness attribute was directly related to the hardness of the material.
Therefore, Li Zhenhua did not choose other quenching solutions for this knife. Instead, he directly used groundwater.
This water was drawn up by an electric motor in the well in his courtyard.
The mineral content of this water was extremely rich. Back then, their family’s establishment here in town was also directly related to this well.
The dining knife in the stove was red. In Li Zhenhua’s eyes, it showed the real-time temperature of this knife.
When the Eye of Analysis shows, to achieve optimal quenching temperature.
Li Zhenhua took a pair of tongs and took the knife out of the stove. He stabbed it into the sink beside him.
As soon as the red-hot cutter entered the water, the water boiled and steam rose from the sink.
In a short while, the water surface of the sink was almost invisible. It was all covered by the fog.
Holding the knife, keeping him in the water for another minute or so,
Knowing that the Eye of Analysis showed that the quenching had been completed, Li Zhenhua took out the knife from the sink.
He walked over to the kiln table with the knife under his arm and placed it on the anvil. Li put the clip aside.
Li Zhenhua stood beside the shrine platform. Guo Shugui and Liu Xiaodong also came over.
Guo Shugui, in particular, reached out to the knife, wanting to take it and observe it carefully.
However, just as he was about to reach out and touch the knife, Liu Xiaodong grabbed his hand.
“Fuck, Guoba, are you planning to amputate your leg? Don’t you want your claw anymore?”
Guo Shugui was originally puzzled. Didn’t he just want to see the knife?
Why did this fatty beside him have such a big reaction? He actually made her not touch his face.
However, when he thought about what Liu Xiaodong said,
He immediately knew why.
Li Zhenhua waited by the kiln for a while. His eyes showed that the temperature of the knife had dropped to more than 40 degrees.
Only then did he reach over and bring the knife to his hand.
Li Zhenhua held the knife in his hand and grabbed the handle, feeling how comfortable it was.
After experiencing it for a while, he handed the knife to Guo Shugui.
“Guoba, you’re a top-notch rich second-generation heir. You must have eaten a lot of Western food.
Then you must have used many western knives. Try this knife.
Look at this knife shape. Is it comfortable to use? If it’s not, I can adjust it in time.”
Guo Shugui took it and held it in his hand.

He held the handle of the knife in his hand and used the correct posture to feel the use of the knife.
When Guo Shugui did some movements, the knife in his hand was unusually comfortable.
“Hua Zi, this knife is very comfortable. I feel especially comfortable using it. It’s really a good knife. How comfortable it would be if I used it to cut steak.”
Li Zhenhua was overjoyed when he heard Guo Shugui’s words.
It seemed that the Eye of Analysis’s hint was right. This saber shape was really a suitable saber shape.
Liu Xiaodong saw the two of them discussing fervently and also came to Guo Shugui’s side.
She took the knife from him and felt the comfort of it herself.
“Hanako, didn’t you say you wanted to make this knife into a Damascus pattern?
Why does it look so gray now? I can’t see any patterns at all.”
Just as 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 answered Guo Shugui’s question with a knife.
“Guoba, to think that you said that you were a loyal audience of the forging competition.
Don’t you know? In modern craft, the Damascus pattern has to be acid-washed.
If it wasn’t washed with acid, this pattern wouldn’t be obvious at all.”
Hearing Liu Xiaodong explain to Guo Shugui, Li Zhenhua stopped talking.
After Liu Xiaodong finished speaking, Li Zhenhua added a few words.
“Fatty is right. It’s because there’s no acid wash yet.
The pattern was not very obvious, but if you looked carefully, you could still see it.
And it’s because of acid washing that I chose two kinds of stainless steel,
One was corrosion-resistant, and the other was not very corrosion-resistant. Of course, it was also relative to these two types of stainless steel.
Only then, after we’ve talked about the acid wash again later,
When that pattern appears, don’t mention how beautiful it will be.”
Guo Shugui, who was not very clear about this matter, stood quietly and listened to their explanation.
After hearing it, he couldn’t wait any longer and said to Li Zhenhua,
“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s start this step now!
I’m almost tempted to see the finished product.”
“Don’t panic, don’t panic. We still have procedures to complete before the acid wash!”
Li Zhenhua explained to Guo Shugui, but at this moment, Liu Xiaodong, who had been gesturing blindly with the knife, did not understand.
“At this point, isn’t it completed soon? What other steps are there to carry out!”
Li Zhenhua also felt a little helpless about Liu Xiaodong’s question.
Just a moment ago, this fatty was still showing off his knowledge to others. How long had it been? He was already being held back by a question.
“Haha, Fatty, did you touch the blind spot of your knowledge?
When I was young, I told you to remember what my grandfather told you,

“But you just won’t listen. Alright, you’re embarrassing yourself in front of the newcomer now!”
Liu Xiaodong’s expression did not change after being mocked by Li Zhenhua.
Instead, she looked at Li Zhenhua with a fawning expression.
“Hehehe, then please explain to us!
Let us fish in the small pond and see if the seawater in the sea is sweet or salty.”
