"Dude, do you have a crush on this? That's not a good knife! ”

That Larry looked at Jin Muchen and waved the most ugly-looking katana, as if he was very interested in this knife, and suddenly said next to him.

"Oh? Why? ”

Jin Muchen turned his head with a smile and asked him, but in his heart, he had already classified this guy as a layman.

"The blade of this knife is too thin, and the weight is very light, it is not a battlefield knife, but for home viewing, so it is not very practical."

Haha, this guy is really a stupid soldier, Jin Muchen smiled secretly in his heart, but he was also kind to introduce this, but from his point of view, it was completely from the experience of using the soldier and the idea of practical ideas, if he really knew the origin of this knife, he would definitely not think so.

"Well, there does seem to be something wrong, and I also feel that it is too light, not like a real combat knife."

Jin Muchen said with a deliberate frown.

"Well, that's right, the blade of this knife is too thin, unlike other Japanese swords, if it is used in actual combat, this knife may be curled or broken in a few minutes after it is put into battle. So if you want to choose a practical and ornamental one, I recommend you to take a look at these handfuls. ”

Larry pointed to the other sabers that his grandfather had captured from the Japanese commander and recommended them to Jin Muchen, although these knives were all products that were later industrialized and mass-produced.

But from an aesthetic point of view, it's not bad. And it also takes into account practicality. In addition, it was still the knife of the Japanese officer back then. So if you collect a few handfuls, it's not bad.

But Jin Muchen couldn't look down on those knives, so he gave Candace who was standing on the side, Candace had been with him for a long time, and he had already cultivated that feeling of being in the heart, and at this time he suddenly interjected from the side and said

"But, Hani, it seems like this is what we need for a decorative knife, doesn't it? Those knives are good, though. But after all, it was used by those Japanese officers back then, and who knows if it was ever used to kill people, and I don't want to have a knife like that in our bedroom. ”

After speaking, he seemed to be holding Jin Muchen's arm and shook it a few times, Jin Muchen could only laugh, and then turned his head to Larry and said.

"Hehe, buddy, you saw it too, although I'm happy with those knives, but my sweetheart doesn't want them, so I can't help it, just this one. You make a quote! ”

This Larry secretly rolled his eyes at Jin Muchen. Gesture to you, the wife-afraid Pussy, but soon smile at him again.

"Hey, hey. I know man, you're the right choice, this knife is perfect for decorating the bedroom. See you like it so much, so let's do it, it's 10,000 yuan, this is an ancient Japanese knife, it's definitely worth the price! ”

"Okay, deal!"

Jin Muchen didn't hesitate at all, in fact, when he asked this guy to quote, his heart was beating so much, when he heard the other party's offer of 10,000, he almost jumped up in dollars, then he still remembered bargaining with this guy, and hurriedly agreed, and then asked the other party to wrap the knife.

Larry didn't expect that the end of the day was approaching, and he was very happy to be able to make a deal, because the knife had no scabbard, and he turned around to find something to wrap the knife.

And Jin Muchen looked at the busy back of Lari, and his heart was happy.

10,000 yuan can buy a Japanese national treasure, which is cheap and can make a lot of money.

But this is also thanks to the fact that the Larry family are all military-borns, and they must not have looked down on the Japanese very much, otherwise if they had studied Japanese history a little, they would not have buried such a Japanese national treasure at home for so many years.

Their family judges the quality of a knife, mainly based on the practicality of the knife first, and then whether it is beautiful, as for other things, they don't pay attention to it at all, otherwise how can this knife fall into their hands like this?

The handle of the knife was rotten, and they didn't even notice the obvious sixteen-petal chrysanthemum pattern on the exposed hilt, as well as the horizontal line under the chrysanthemum pattern.

Such an obvious family emblem logo has already explained the origin of this knife, this is the famous chrysanthemum text Zezong!

One of Japan's five famous swords, one of the treasures of the Japanese imperial family, Kikuichi Writing is the Sect!

Who would have thought that this Japanese national treasure Japanese sword would actually appear here? I am afraid that when the Americans bombed Tokyo, they lost it to the private sector when they bombed the emperor's palace.

After that, I don't know which guy picked up the knife, because he was hungry, so he took the knife to the US military stationed in Japan to exchange food, which ended in the hands of this Larry's grandfather, and then followed his grandfather across the ocean to the United States.

I didn't expect to see the light of day again in my hands today.

The name of this knife and his origin alone were destined to be much more precious than the black lacquered gold chest he had collected before.

You must know that this is a Japanese sword that the Japanese have always been proud of, and one of the five famous swords they have preached in history, the fine Japanese sword of the Kamakura period, has been handed down to the present day.

One is the three days and the moon sect is near, and the other is the spring guard and the determination, and the third is this chrysanthemum text Zong!

These three knives are now collected in the Tokyo National Museum in Japan, but they are offered by the Japanese as ancestors, and now the mobile phone has made a handful of chrysanthemum text Zezong, you say that if it is spread, can it cause a sensation in Japan?

Of course, the reason why it is said that this is another Kikuichi character is mainly because this name does not specifically refer to a certain sword, but refers to a series of swords specially produced by the famous swordsmith Norimune in the Kamakura period of Japan for the Japanese imperial family!

At that time, I produced a lot of swords from this series, but it seems that in addition to the one in the Tokyo National Museum, it seems that this one is in my own hand!

The origin of Japanese swords was in the Nara period, when Tang swords from the Tang Dynasty were introduced to Japan, allowing the Japanese to master the initial forging process, and after that, the Japanese went through a series of research and development, and finally created their own way.

However, until the Song Dynasty, China's sword forging technology was still ahead of Japan.

However, at the end of the Song Dynasty, because the Mongols occupied the entire continent and slaughtered the Chinese, many forging techniques were lost, and a group of craftsmen, in order to escape the war, fled across the ocean to Japan, bringing more advanced technology to Japan, that is, during this period, Japan's knife tip forging technology began to surpass China.

And a few decades later, Kublai Khan tried to invade Japan twice, which made the Japanese feel the pressure of survival, in order to ensure that they could fight against the Mongol invading army, they were crazy to develop sword forging technology, that is, during this period, the forging technology of Japanese swords reached a peak.

During this period, Japan also happened to enter the Kamakura period, and this era can be said to be the peak of Japanese sword making, and three of their five famous swords were made in this era.

Among them is the Naju One Text Norimune series!

At that time, the Mongol Yuan invaded Japan twice and failed, and Japan lived a stable and good life again, and the country was also in a situation of singing and dancing.

With the increase in the power of the samurai family and the establishment of the Kamakura shogunate, the so-called Kamakura samurai temperament was formed, and the preference for luxurious and magnificent weapons gradually became fashionable.

As the demand for weapons gradually increased, at the same time, as a samurai, from the perspective of practicality and appearance, the requirements for weapons began to increase compared to before.

It was also the change in the needs of the samurai for weapons that contributed to the first peak of the development of Japanese sword forging technology.

However, in the early part of this era, the afterglow of the Heian period was still in full swing, and it was not until the middle of the period that the Kamakura samurai's sense of self and honor became more pronounced, which prompted the Taidao and short sword to complete that transformation.

You must know that before that, the samurai swords used by Japanese samurai were the same as Tang swords, they were all straight, and it was not until the middle and late Kamakura that they began to gradually take on the appearance of modern katanas.

The birth of this Kikuichi Monji Norimune coincided with the middle and late Kamakura period, when Emperor Toba, the empress of Japan, was also particularly interested in swords, and at the same time vigorously encouraged the development of the sword-making industry throughout the country.

In the first year of Shoji, after abdicating the throne to Emperor Dogomon, the emperor became more and more obsessed with the art of forging swords, and built a sword-forging place in the forbidden courtyard of the Imperial Palace.

According to records, there were 12 swordsmiths he had recruited from various countries at that time, and the number was later increased to 24, and legend has it that he was accompanied by six swordsmiths when he moved to Oki Province.

It was precisely because of the emperor's obsession with this path that it became a very strong stimulus for the swordsmiths of various countries to compete and hone their skills, and as a result, the great craftsmen of various countries were produced in large numbers, and the sword forging industry was finally formed in a grand situation that had never been seen in ancient and modern times.

At that time, there was a swordsmith who stood out from the crowd, and he was an apprentice from Fukuoka Ichimonbun Shinbo, and his name was Norimune.

Later, it was under the leadership of this Zezong swordsmith that a complete series of chrysanthemum one-word Zezong knives were created!

And this series of knives also appeared frequently in various historical documents in Japan later, and even in novels, even the rogue Kenshin, which was all the rage back then, used this chrysanthemum word Zezong sword! (To be continued......)
