Revival of traditional kitchen knife

Nowadays, traditional skills have been forgotten by people more and more, but an old man in Jinan forged one himself with traditional skills? Cutting iron like mud? The kitchen knife surprised passers-by. Many friends may not know the advantages of hand-made kitchen knives, so let Bian Xiao tell you about it.

One: First of all, hand-made kitchen knives are sharper. As we all know, making kitchen knives by hand is a very old craft. In remote ancient times, when we didn't have modern advanced technology, the swords used by generals and the kitchen knives used by the people were all made by skilled craftsmen. In ancient times, generals and soldiers needed sharp swords to fight against the enemy, which modern technology could not achieve. Machines are machines, which can never replace human values. When making knives, the masters will observe the situation of the knives in the process of building at any time according to the temperature. Cutting iron like mud? Still rely on our traditional technology.

Second, hand-made kitchen knives are more durable. When an article is made by a person through a long process, it must be painstaking and its natural quality will last longer. However, when an article is produced by a machine and mass-produced, the quality will naturally be greatly reduced. This is why nowadays, when technology is so advanced, hand-made products have always been favored by people and have never been replaced. The knives made by traditional handicrafts have devoted the painstaking efforts, energy and wisdom of the masters, and their service life will naturally be extended. Ordinary knives will be dull or broken in a year or two, but only hand-cast knives can withstand the polishing of years, and can even be used for ten years.

Third: Finally, hand-made kitchen knives are easy to ink and have high hardness. I don't know if you have such an experience. When chopping bones with a kitchen knife, the kitchen knife will be damaged or even broken. During the Spring Festival, a guest came to Bian Xiao's house. I want to cook a good dish. Unexpectedly, the newly bought kitchen knife broke on the spot when chopping pig bones, which frightened Bian Xiao. I want to prepare a big meal. I can't do it. This kind of thing will never happen on a hand-made kitchen knife. Hand-cast knives are forged repeatedly, then quenched and finally tempered, just as it is a truth that a person goes through hardships to succeed and will not be easily knocked down by difficulties. Those who can stand the test and succeed in casting are naturally more tenacious and will not be easily knocked down. In addition, if the hand-made kitchen knife is blunt, it will be sharp if it is ground a little. It's a good thing, not afraid of inspection.

What Bian Xiao wants to say is that no matter how advanced the technology is, handwork can never and cannot be replaced. The traditional craft that has been gathered for thousands of years naturally has its irreplaceable advantages. No matter when, you can't forget the tradition.
