Capítulo 73: Chapter 72: The Expert

"Of course I know how to make knives, if I couldn't make knives, could I still call myself a bladesmith?"

Gao Yuan appeared very confident, and Wang Hu really liked the look of confidence on Gao Yuan. He waved his hand and said, "Come, sit down and talk. How exactly do you make your knives?"

Gao Yuan spread his hands and replied, "That's a very broad question; there are so many ways to make a knife, I wouldn't even know how to start answering you. Simply put, you can forge or use the stock removal method. Forging is the blacksmith's approach, using steel to hammer out a knife and then heat-treating it. The stock removal method involves cutting a knife shape out of a steel plate then heat-treating it, or you could directly grind a knife out of a heat-treated steel plate."
