Who introduces the Longquan sword craft?

Longquan sword is not only a beautiful handicraft, but also a sports equipment, which enjoys a good reputation at home and abroad. Its characteristics are: sharp blade, softness in rigidity, rigidity in softness and exquisite decoration.

Longquan sword is polished by hand. A good sword, a specialty of Longquan County, often needs to be polished on this bright stone for several days before it can emit cold light. From raw materials to finished products, a Longquan sword has to go through 28 main processes, such as forging, shoveling, filing, engraving, quenching and grinding, and then it is matched with the rare native rosewood in the world as the scabbard and hilt. If you don't draw it, it looks antique, and the more you use it, the brighter it will be. It makes Longquan sword elegant and valuable, and enjoys a good reputation at home and abroad. It is not only a tool for people to practice martial arts and keep fit, but also a unique decorative artwork.

For a long time, due to the special technology in the production of Longquan sword, Longquan sword has formed four characteristics: "tough and sharp, rigid and soft, cold light and exquisite decoration". First, it is "tough and sharp" and cuts copper like mud. During the period of 1978, the artists who made Longquan sword performed publicly at two national gatherings in the field of arts and crafts in China. He easily split six copper plates stacked together in half with a Longquan sword, but the blade didn't roll up. The second is "combining rigidity with softness". The ancient Longquan sword was cast with pig iron, but now it is cast with medium carbon steel, and the quenching process is just right, which makes the medium carbon steel have the characteristics of spring steel. For example, a thin sword is rolled into a circle and tied around the waist, like a belt for a skirt. When it was untied, the sword was still straight.

The other two characteristics of Longquan sword are "cold light suppression" and "exquisite decoration" Longquan sword is completely polished by hand, from rough grinding to fine grinding, it often takes days or even months, because of the magic of special "open stone", once polished, the green light shines brightly. At the same time, the seven-star symbol and the dragon pattern are engraved on the Longquan sword. Carving flowers on the body of the sword is also a stunt of Longquan sword. Swordsmen don't use colored pencils, and they don't play cards according to routine. They used only a steel chisel to carve on the sword, which was less than an inch wide. After carving, pour it with copper water. After leveling and polishing, the dragon pattern is vivid and natural and will never disappear.

It is said that the foundry of Longquan sword, which is more authentic and large in scale, is the old Chinese Longquan sword factory Co., Ltd.
