……

Since the price of these man-made gemstones is not high, although Li Anran has set a number of merchants who specialize in this business, it is also much more than retail customers. Pear-shaped, square, oval, olive-shaped, and other shapes, each of which has a box according to its color.

These man-made gemstones have one thing in common, and that is that they are large. In addition to these loose stones, Li Anran also bought two hearts of the ocean with slightly different shapes from the merchant out of the psychology of spoofing. Not to mention, from a visual point of view, this thing does give people a high-end atmosphere and high-grade feeling.

After playing with these two hearts of the ocean, Li Anran conducted random inspections of these man-made gems according to the tips taught by merchants and searched on the Internet. There's no way, there are too many people who like to play tricks in business these days, and even man-made gems are easy to be confused with inferior materials.

For example, the so-called rhinestones, the others are crystal glass. Fortunately, Li Anran has a lot of online shopping this time, and in the name of opening an artificial gemstone jewelry processing and sales store, he chose the old brand of Golden Crown seller. After some inspection, I didn't find anything wrong.

After putting these artificial gems into the flannel bags bought together according to different colors and shapes, Li Anran focused on the brocade boxes on the bed. I found the one closest to me and opened it in front of me, and a Japanese sword with a black sheath came into view.

If you want to say that this Japanese sword, if you trace back to the source, whether it is from the steelmaking technique or from the shape of the knife itself, it is actually from the Tang knife in the Tang Dynasty. The difference is only in the later stage, in order to better adapt to the needs of horse warfare when using knives, the originally straight blade has a little curvature.

For the country of Japan, Li Anran, who is somewhat angry, basically has no good impression except for some special industries. But I have to admit that many of the things that come from my ancestors have been inherited and carried forward by others.

If nothing else, let's take this Japanese sword. Originated from the Tang knife, but in modern time and space, how many foreigners know the Tang knife? Regardless of whether it is in reality or in movies and television, wherever cold weapons need to appear, the probability of using Japanese swords is much greater than that of domestic swords.

Fortunately, although the Japanese knife is also famous all over the world, when it faced our ghost head knife during the Anti-Japanese War, the end was very miserable. Although the narrow blade (blade) is very elastic and sharp when forged and sharpened, it is easy to be split in half by the ghost-headed broadsword and the knife in the process of slashing.

Considering that the ancestor of the Japanese knife is the Tang knife, from steelmaking to forging, and then to the later grinding techniques, they all originated in China, plus this knife is also produced in China, and in the future, it can also be used in the Tang Dynasty to cut the Japanese, so Li Anran has no mental obstacles to using this kind of knife.

Besides, as the old saying goes, it's not the knife that kills, it's the man! I think that those anti-Japanese heroes also snatched the Japanese guns back and used them. I plan to return the Japanese knife to its roots in the Tang Dynasty time and space, and return to the authentic source to become a branch of the Tang knife. should be understandable.

This Japanese sword has a very famous name, called Kikuichi Monomunemune. Of course, this can't be the original product, and it can't even be genuine, after all, this sword factory in Longquan has not handed over any brand royalties or anything like that. Although this knife is not expensive for less than six hundred yuan, the quality is really good.

T10 steel, plus ten manual grinding, the knife is not bad, and the whole black gives people a feeling of hidden killing. When ordering this knife, other manufacturers also said that although this method of sharpening the knife makes the blade sharp enough, it is absolutely no problem to cut people, but it cannot cut iron.

Fortunately, for Li Anran, it is enough to be able to cut people. However, in order to prevent merchants from fooling themselves as laymen with shoddy products. I still wrapped the straw mat used at home on a bamboo pole the size of a ping-pong ball, and then inserted it into the vegetable furrow in the front yard of my house as a target for testing the knife.

Li Anran, who had made a good target, didn't stupidly put on any shape, just held the knife in his hand in the most comfortable posture, and then slashed from the top right to the bottom left. Under the effect of the force, which was obviously much stronger than before, the knife barely felt any obstacles when cutting through the target, and it was cut in two, quite cleanly.

After trying this domestic chrysanthemum character Zezong, Li Anran took out a long-handled pointed knife from the brocade box placed on the ground next to him. This thing is somewhat similar to the Park Knife, or to be more precise, it is a type of Park Knife, but the length is relatively shorter.

In terms of shape, this long-handled sharp knife can't be compared with the domestic version of Ju Yiwen just now. However, the blade (blade) is wide enough and the hilt is long enough, which is very suitable for both melee and horse combat. It's just that the material is a little worse, just ordinary high-carbon steel, but the price is cheaper.

When trying the knife, Li Anran could clearly feel the resistance of the knife when passing through the straw mat and bamboo pole. To a certain extent, it can be said that if it weren't for the fact that the crossing has greatly improved the physique in all aspects, it would be really a question of whether this knife could hit the target as easily as just now.

After trying on this long-handled pointed broadsword, Li Anran picked up another ring-headed knife. This kind of knife was born in the Western Han Dynasty of our country, it is a straight-edged long knife made of steel after repeated folding and quenching, and it is the most advanced and lethal close-quarters cold weapon in the world at that time, and it is also a weapon of extraordinary significance in human history.

The Tang knife is a new generation of murderous weapon obtained after various improvements in all aspects of this ring head knife, Li Anran ordered this ring head knife is not long, a total of about 80 centimeters, the handle of the knife takes up nearly 30 centimeters, and the use of ordinary high-carbon steel, the price is slightly higher than the long-handled pointed knife.

The fourth knife is a war knife from the Qing Dynasty, with a long blade (blade) and a long hilt. In terms of construction, it is somewhat similar to the previous long-handled pointed broadsword, but the shape is obviously more than one notch. The total length is nearly one meter, and the handle is about forty-five centimeters long, which is also suitable for melee sabers.

This knife is made of machine-patterned steel, which is sharper than high-carbon steel, and coupled with its own weight and Li Anran's strength, it is very smooth to try to cut. The next one is a ghost head knife, but this ghost head knife is completely different from the knife used by our party army during the War of Resistance Against Japan.

The shape of the blade is somewhat similar to that of a Japanese sword, and the blade has a beautiful curve. However, the width of the blade (blade) is significantly wider, which is somewhat close to the size of a sword. The knife outfit is in the style of anime, with the end of the handle and the blade in the shape of a skull, plus the whole body is black and murderous.

When he chose this knife, Li Anran actually just thought that the shape of this knife was quite good, and he took it on impulse. didn't think about it, and after getting the real thing, I found that this knife was actually quite good. The material of the machine-patterned steel and the size that is more "strong" than the Japanese sword, that is, the guaranteed sharpness and strength will not be a problem, and it is quite easy to use.

After Li Anran put down this "avant-garde" version of the ghost head knife, the last thing he picked up was the Tang knife, which is quite famous among domestic cold weapons, which can also be called the Tang sword. This thing is the best material and the most gorgeous knife in this purchase, and of course, the price is naturally the most expensive.

But what made Li Anran depressed was that although this Tang knife was the best in all aspects, it was not as comfortable to use as the cheapest long-handled pointed broadsword. Fortunately, this knife was originally not intended to be used for himself, although it is a little more expensive, but as long as it can be successfully shot according to the plan, it is definitely not as simple as earning back a little money.

After trying the knives, Li Anran, who didn't have time to eat lunch, took the knives back into the house. As for not buying a sword for Lu this time, the main reason is that if the sword is a weapon for personal use, it is really good in terms of ornamentality and lethality, but when it comes to the battlefield, it is far less practical than the knife.

After trying all the knives, Li Anran was not in a hurry to confirm the receipt and give praise. Instead, he put the Tang knife into a brocade box and a flannel bag containing artificial gems, stuffed it into a long canvas bag with a tiger head brand shuangli shotgun, and then turned on the computer to write an analysis report on crossing the Tang Dynasty.
