The sword is one of the eighteen types of weapons, and it is also the first weapon. The earliest origins of knives can be traced back to primitive societies, when ancient humans used stones or animal bones to make knives of various shapes, which were used to cut food and as portable weapons. In modern times, after tens of thousands of years of development, many different knives have appeared in countries around the world. Today, I would like to share with you the world's top 5 famous knives.
Malay Lux sword
The Malay Lux sword is the king of cold weapons in Southeast Asia and one of the world's three famous blades. In 1739, the Dutch captured Java and learned the power of Cles in the hands of the Javanese. The sword can easily pierce the armor and send it into the body of the Dutch. Moreover, the handle also resembles the structure of a knife, and the conversion also has a special advantage in fighting.
The Malay Cles sword first flourished in the Majapahit Kingdom in the 13th century and was extremely elaborately manufactured. It is said that it is repeatedly tempered about 500 times, and there are as many as 600 layers of sandwich steel on the toughness, which is tough and unbreakable and extremely sharp. Seven points are like a sword, and three points are like a knife. Whether it is "stab" or "chipping" and "chopping", it is extremely handy.
Nepalese knife
The Nepalese knife, also known as the Gurkha knife, is the national knife of Nepal. And it is recognized in the world as the most consistent with the principle of mechanics. The Nepalese knife was first recognized when British soldiers stationed in India fought local soldiers in western Nepal in 1814. At that time, this strangely shaped knife almost became a weapon for the British army.
The knife was as important to the Gurkha soldiers as it was to life. In times of war, every Gurkha soldier had his or her own Nepalese knife with their name engraved on it, which he accompanied until he was discharged. Almost a proof of identity.
katana
Katana, also known as Toyo sword or Nihonsword, is a form of Japanese katana that lasted from the late Heian period to the end of 1853. A lot has changed, the main feature is the transition from straight knives to machetes. In Japan, the katana is not just a weapon, but also a symbol of the samurai spirit. After the Emperor Meiji's 1876 Decree on the Abolition of Swords, katanas became available only to members of the Imperial Family and some high-ranking officers.
Don Dao
The Tang sword first appeared in the Sui and Tang dynasties on the mainland and was the predecessor of the Japanese katana. As early as the fourth year of Zhenguan (603), Japan sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty for the first time, and since then it has continuously sent envoys to learn the advanced culture of China and bring it back to Japan, including the weapon structure of the Tang Dynasty, etc., and the Tang knife was passed down during that period.
According to the "Tang Liudian Wuku Order", the Tang Dynasty army used four kinds of knives, namely the Yi Dao, the Barrier Dao, the Horizontal Dao and the Mo Dao. Today, the term "Tang Dao" is a general term for the four types of saber systems in the Tang Dynasty on the mainland. Tang knife is the outside and soft on the inside, and has strong toughness. Later, the production process was lost, and now it is no longer possible to create the exact same Tang knife.
Damascus knife
The earliest origin of the Damascus knife was in ancient India, which was made of the steel "Uzi steel" made by the Indian soil method. The blade is covered with strange and brilliant patterns, like flowing clouds and water, which is wonderful. Although this knife is short, it is extremely sharp and can blow the hair into pieces, and even cut an adult ram in two. With the depletion of the special material of Uzi steel, today's Damascus knife has become a legendary weapon.
