Chapter 651: Damascus
"Okay!"
Fang Ming could only shake his head and say no more, he was being targeted, it was impossible to have another chance.
Seeing Fang Ming like this, Sikong Zhe was also happy and said, "Hahaha! Fang Ming, I really didn't expect you to have a tendency to be strict with your wife. ”
Spreading his hands, Fang Ming nodded heavily and said, "There is no way, and it's not one, but two, I've been living in dire straits all day long." ”
The expression on Fang Ming's face was really very exaggerated when he spoke, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed to be a fact. Of course, his words once again attracted condemnation from Zhou Yafang and Jiang Wen, and in the end, he could only admit that he was wrong, and finally the topic returned to the Damascus knife.
Sikong Zhe took the knife that Fang Ming was cutting the stake just now, and after looking at it carefully for a while, he sighed very much, but he immediately said curiously: "Fang Ming, why is the Damascus knife so sharp?" ”
"Of course, there is a reason for this, the reason for the Damascus knife blade is not to say, modern science and technology have carefully studied the Damascus knife, and found that the patterns on its knife body are actually composed of countless small serrations, this is because the density of the blade of the Damascus knife is different, so it forms different large and small serrations, it is precisely because of the existence of such serrations that the Damascus knife is like a saw that cannot be seen with the naked eye, so that when the Damascus knife cuts something, Such a sawtooth would produce an amazing cutting effect. Therefore, the pattern on the body of the Damascus knife is far from being as simple as it appears. ”
"So magical? That...... Why is there a different pattern? Damascus knife ...... Isn't there only the legendary ladder pattern? ”
Fang Ming's explanation obviously did not mean that Sikong Zhe had already opened the scabbards of several knives, but he found that the patterns on the body of the Damascus knife were actually different, although he had also heard of the legend of the famous blade in the legend of the Damascus knife, but to be honest, he didn't know much.
Shaking his head, Fang Ming said: "This is not strange, in fact, the patterns on the body of Damascus knives in different countries have different characteristics. For example, Damascus knives made in Persia have a silk-like textile pattern and a very good luster; The Damascus knife produced in Turkey has a scroll-like pattern, and the veins are like agate. The ladder pattern you are talking about, that is, the most famous is produced in India, has a horizontal vein, layer after layer, as if it is an ascending ladder, this is the so-called ladder pattern, that is, the ladder of Muhammad, which is the best of the Damascus knives. ”
"Huh? So that's the case, I thought that Damascus knives only had one pattern,
It's the ladder pattern! ”
Zhao Zhuzi's eyes widened, when he was in the team, he said that his comrades-in-arms talked about the situation of Damascus knives, in those legendary "stories", all Damascus knives are ladder patterned, but he didn't expect that there are so many types.
"Well, yes, the reason why most people only know the ladder pattern is because this pattern is more famous, in fact, other patterns are also good knives."
Fang Ming knew that it was not a ladder-patterned Damascus knife, in fact, no matter what kind of pattern the Damascus knife was, it was a good thing, and it was really one less piece.
"By the way, Fang Ming, can this thing be faked? Although this pattern looks complicated, but the current level of craftsmanship is so high, it should be able to be made, right? ”
Sikong Zhe's heart moved, the Damascus knife is so valuable, with the wisdom of the people of the world, someone should be able to make it.
Shaking his head, Fang Ming said: "Of course, the special pattern of the Damascus knife is not made by no one, but this is just a shape, it is known at a glance among the real appraisal masters, you must know that such patterns are formed in the casting process, and now some people use forging to make these patterns, so there is a big difference." ”
"So complicated?"
After saying that, Sikong Zhe thought about it again and found that it should be the case, after all, if the Damascus knife was so easy to make, wouldn't it be so precious?
"This is going to be from the formation of Damascus knives, the real steel for making Damascus knives is called crystalline pattern copper in modern terms, which is produced under the perfect combination of powder metallurgy and forging in ancient times, on this basis, the pattern on the body of Damascus knives can basically be divided into two different materials, the bright place is the very high purity of snow charcoal iron, which is greater than glass in terms of hardness, and the dark place belongs to Bollahi iron and Vostian iron, with extremely high toughness, In this way, it is equivalent to a very tough bolaite iron covered with snow charcoal iron that is harder than glass. In fact, if the knife is sharp, it is necessary to use a hard material, but although the hard material is sharp, it is relatively brittle and easy to break, and the Damascus knife is a combination of Bolai iron with extremely high toughness and snow charcoal iron that is harder than glass, so it is extremely sharp and tough at the same time, so it will become a generation of famous blades. ”
"There is a clear difference between the pattern on the Damascus knife and the sword formed by folding and hammering, simply put, the pattern of the Damascus knife is more natural and black and white
The ratio is also very obvious, if you look closely at the Damascus knife, you will emit a black blade with dense silver star-like snow charcoal iron, which is very magical and beautiful. ”
"Ah...... I said Sikong Zhe, why are you looking at me like this? Am I wrong? ”
After saying a long paragraph, Fang Ming found that Sikong Zhe was looking at him with strange eyes, and he didn't quite understand what was going on, in his opinion, he shouldn't have said anything wrong! He has full confidence in his memory, and it is impossible to forget what he has seen.
"This ...... I don't know if you're wrong, I don't know these things anyway, so I don't know if you're right. ”
"Huh?"
Fang Ming looked at Sikong Zhe and said a little speechlessly, "Then what do you mean by this?" Looking at me like that, I don't know if I'm right? ”
"Hahaha!"
Sikong Zhe laughed and said: "I think you seem to be a monster, how do you know everything in general, you must know that Damascus knives are also extremely unpopular for those of us who play antiques, and it is difficult for ordinary people to know a little, you know so clearly, this is really strange, Damascus knives, this thing is really not something that ordinary people will come into contact with, you said that you have a deep study of celadon or something, I believe it, but, this Damascus knife...... It's really a monster like you. ”
Only then did Fang Ming know that the reason Sikong Zhe meant this, however, Sikong Zhe was looking for death and giving himself such a good opportunity to hit him, how could Fang Ming let it go? Pointing to his head, he said: "Sikong Zhe, you have to know a truth, if you want to make progress in this world, you have to study more, these things I said are all in the book, although you are old, but you still have to strengthen your study, if you are not older, you have to go to the university for the elderly." ”
Laughing at Fang Ming for being a monster, this was a pleasure that Sikong Zhe had finally found, so he shouted so "arrogantly", but he didn't expect Fang Ming to say such a thing, so he immediately petrified, and his smile was also condensed on his face, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Zhou Yafang also laughed when she saw this, and said, "Classmate Sikong Zhe, you are really asking for trouble, you and Fang Ming will definitely not be able to play with him for such a thing, so forget it." ”
"Okay...... You're right, this kind of thing really can't be played with him, I'm asking for my own suffering."
Sikong Zhe found himself a little depressed, sarcastic people can't compare to Fang Ming, and when it comes to identifying leaks and the like, that's not Fang Ming's opponent, making money? Playing investment by himself is far more profitable than ordinary people, but the problem is that Fang Ming is too good at picking up leaks, and picking up leaks is calculated in millions or even hundreds of millions, so no matter how much he earns, he is not as happy as Fang Ming, and more importantly, no matter how he earns, there is also a risk and a capital, but Fang Ming's is completely risk-free and capitalless, is there anything more cool in the world than this? It's not even a book of profits, but a white wolf style with no money and empty gloves.
No matter how you play, you can't play Fang Ming, so Zhou Yafang is right, Sikong Zhe understands that he really doesn't want to have a "battle of will" like Fang Minglai.
Fang Ming did not continue to "ridicule" Sikong Zhe, but continued: "The Damascus knife also has a very important feature, that is, in addition to being sharp, its decoration is world-class. ”
Fang Ming picked up one of them and said, "These Damascus knives we bought, except for two, the other decorations are all kept quite well, as if they were new. Perhaps it was the same thing, and the old man didn't believe it was a good thing at all, but thought it was fake. This kind of Damascus knife with flowery decoration belonged to the nobility, you see, these are gem-inlays, even if the two are relatively simple, they are also made of enamel, gold and silver staggered wire, etc., which is a rare thing.
European craftsmen once wanted to imitate Damascus knives, but they couldn't do this, the main reason is that first, as far as the blade is concerned, they have not cast such Uzi steel ingots at all, and for the decoration of the knife handle, they do not have the craftsmanship of Islamic gold and silver jewelry craftsmen, you see, the decoration on these knife handles is probably more than a thousand years old, and it is still as new, it is said that if it is a high imitation of those craftsmen in Europe, it will become obsolete in less than 50 years, in fact, This is also a way to identify Damascus knives, and if someone gives you a Damascus knife that looks old, it must be a fake! ”
Looking at these Damascus knives on the ground, there was really no way to hide the smug expression on Fang Ming's face, this thing was really unacceptable, but he actually got more than a dozen of them on the stall at once, this luck was really good against the sky!
