Demon Knife Muramasa. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

But in reality, Muramasa is not a knife, but the name of a group of swordsmiths. Muramasa is a family, and the good knives made by the swordsmiths in the family will leave an inscription on them.

Muramasa is widely used because of its very sharp and slashing characteristics. Legend has it that Tokugawa Ieyasu's grandfather and father both died on a sword with a Muramasa inscription. And his son Tokugawa Nobuyasu was ordered to seppuku by Oda Nobunaga because of his association with the Imagawa family. At that time, the knife he used to cut his abdomen was also Muramasa.

So much so that Tokugawa Ieyasu felt that his family was cursed and had a taboo with Muramasa. So after he established the Tokugawa shogunate and became the shogun of the Seiyi, he issued a ban on swords, completely banning Muramasa.

Therefore, Muramasa has since been saddled with the titles of "Demon Knife" and "Evil Knife".

So much so that in later legends, as well as in a large number of comics, once the demon knife is involved, the name Muramasa will be chosen. Muramasa's knife is also like a knife in everyone's hand, and it is widely circulated in the second dimension.

But in fact, the reason why the people of the Tokugawa family have repeatedly died at the hands of Muramasa is because the family called Muramasa has made more knives. There are many products that pay attention to the actual combat effect, but do not pay attention to the appearance.

As a result, the value of the Muramasa knife has dropped significantly, and it has spread more widely.

The people of the Mikawa area were relatively poor and liked to fight, so many of them were equipped with knives with Muramasa inscriptions.

In other words, Muramasa's knife has been reduced from a top-level luxury jewelry to a mass consumer product. It's like a Porsche in a katana, although it's still a famous car, but the level is not so high. So much so that in second-tier cities, Cayenne and Paramela can also be full of streets.

The reason why Maeda Toshiya mentioned Muramasa was not to say, "Do you know this demon knife?" Instead, I want to say, "Do you know this street knife?" ”

After Maeda Toshika's explanation, Gao Xianda realized that he was thinking too much.

But no matter what, the Muramasa family is always an excellent swordsmith. Although they eventually chose to settle in Ise, their sword-making skills originated from Gojiden, one of the five major schools of sword casting.

And the real source of the Mino transmission is in Mino. The descendants of Mino, who were really good at forging precious swords, are still in Mino, the castle town of Inabayama Castle.

There are many swordsmiths who have created weapons that are much stronger than Muramasa.

"If you're interested, you can go to the forge shop and have a look, and maybe you can find your favorite katana." Toshiie Maeda made a proposal. Goxianda, of course, has no objection.

It's all here, even if there is no famous knife in it, at least there is no loss.

Of course, the real purpose of Gao Xianda is that he still has a dragon horn in his hand. The horns were so sharp that Gao Xianda was considering whether he could use them to create some weapons.

The forging shops in the castle town are still relatively prosperous, and several of them have even opened banners at the entrance for promotion. This is completely inconsistent with the style of Sunpu Castle.

The forging and smelting shops in Junfu City generally only make some agricultural tools, and they are faced with ordinary people, and the craftsmanship is very rough and scarce. So there's not much competition.

There are similar promotions in Sunpu City, but it is generally a competition for daily necessities between several large merchants such as Naya. For example, fish and meat.

But in Mino, the merchants who sell daily necessities have become a monopoly power, and the shops that build swords are so prosperous that they have a martial spirit!

Gao Xianda casually walked into a store and looked at their fist products according to the salesperson's recommendation.

Looking at the shape, it was indeed a real katana, and it was forged. It's just that the number of bending blades is less, and the steel bars are rougher.

Of course, after the blade is opened, it can already be used to hack people to death, but as for how many times it will be used, it is impossible to say. Fortunately, its price is also very close to the people, and you can buy a handful for a few to a dozen yuan. And the knife is very gorgeous, if you don't pull out the knife, you can't imagine that the knife inside is so rough.

This is equivalent to the current Longquan sword, which is more suitable for samurai who need to support the scene, and junior collectors who like swords but are shy in their pockets.

It's good to comfort yourself on weekdays, but don't take it out when you are fighting.

Gao Xianda shook his head, left the shop, and entered the opposite shop.

The style of this shop is diametrically opposed to the one opposite, and his family follows the route of Muramasa. The quality of the knife is okay, but the knife is very simple.

Of course, it can be sold at such an affordable price, and the quality of the knife is far less than that of Mushimasa.

This is probably the kind of katana that the bandits commonly use. After a successful robbery, it was enough for a few people to buy katanas. Although this katana is rough, it is much stronger than farm tools.

However, this quality of goods is still not in the eyes of Covent.

Gao Xianda looked again, and then left again.

Relying on the proliferation of bandits here, not only bandits, but also the guards of the caravans like to buy some swords for self-defense.

Caravans, on the other hand, are relatively wealthy, so the quality of weapons for the long-term guards they invite is higher.

Therefore, the forge shops in the castle town are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, selling weapons of various qualities.

But even for the most high-end smiths, what they produce is just a more advanced katana. It has not yet reached the level of a famous product. Otherwise, a katana that is just sharp will not be called valuable.

Occasionally, there are valuable swords in the shop that can reach level 5 quality, and Gao Xianda is not very interested in them because he already has the Zongsanzuo text and the first issue in his hand.

Until Gao Xianda came to a small forging shop in a remote area. The family didn't come out to advertise it at all.

Looking at the face of his house, Gao Xianda was not too interested. He came here in the spirit of coming, it was better to go in and take a look. After sweeping around the swords placed around him, Gao Xianda was ready to leave.

The proprietor of the shop was an old man, half-lying on the bed, leaning against a large cushion, smoking a dry cigarette with his eyes closed.

He didn't bother to bother when someone came in. But after Gao Xianda had walked around the room, and was about to leave, the old man suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Young man, please stay." ”

"I came in and ignored me, waited until I left to keep me, is this your marketing strategy?" Gao Xianda sneered.

But the old man said, "No, I feel it! You have a knife on you, and I made it. ”
