In China's 5,000 years of history and culture, the sword once occupied an important corner of history. In ancient times, the sword was not only a killing weapon in the hands of soldiers on the battlefield, but also a common weapon in the hands of the jianghu warriors and literati inkers, the birth of the sword was born with war, and the sword system of different eras produced different practical properties according to the different history and culture at that time.

The body of the Han sword is light and narrow and the blade is sharper, the front end is pointed, the rear end has a short handle, and there are blades on both sides, which are used in use, mostly used for stabbing, picking and other actions.
The Tang sword is the opposite of the Han sword, the Tang knife in ancient times for the army combat knife, the biggest role is to fight, so the production process is strict, and also to consider another use in battle, that is, broken armor and durability.
If the blade wants to achieve the role of breaking armor, it needs a certain hardness, and the blade is narrow, and durability requires toughness, so the Tang knife adopts the most advanced wrapped steel process. With wrought iron as the outer skin, the middle is sandwiched with hundreds of steelmaking, and some of the edges adopt local quenching technology, that is, the overburden blade. The blade made in this way is hard enough to cut through the armor, while the knife body is tough and durable.
