After a few major deflection in the Chinese history, the weapons are improving the same time. 3400 years ago, people can carve knives out of meteor rocks. Till the Chan Kuo Dynasty, the technique of sword making is folding a single piece of metal again and again. Which was called" Hundred-beaten steel " " one hundred forging Gang ," "Thousands of steel ."this might be the ancestor of Laminated pattern just。
By the way, in “the assassination of the Chin Emperor”, Ching Ke dip the dragger into dreadful poison to improve the possibility of success. With the toxic chemical on the dragger, the emperor will die immediately after the knife cuts him. There are patterns carved by the poison after its dipped into the poison. It looked like the fish’s intestines, so there’s its name: the Fish intestine dagger.
Because of the invention of mass production, blacksmithing in Taiwan is disappearing quickly, and people starts to forget this technology. Not until today, Mr. Kuo, who careered in blacksmithing for over half a century, combined both japan and China blacksmithing technique together and form a new kind of steel called “basic layered patterned steel”. It’s famous for its sharpness endurance, impact embracement and easy to sharpen. The folded layer steel are covered with patterns, just like other soft steel. Their endurance are of course way higher than normal knives. And since it’s been folded again and again, the inside of the sword is pretty dense. So its not that easy to rot, even when it got rusted by exposed in humid condition, it won’t effect the performance itself. This technique help to rebuild Gan Jiang and Mo Ye…etc. Mr. Kuo applied a patent for this method, but Japan declined the application three times in a row. Japan said that the “basic layered patterned steel” was founded by the Japanese. Mr. Kuo asked for help from the professor of Taiwan metal corporation Do Jau Ming. The professor suggested that you can only prove it by finding evidence that shows this technique appeared before japan did, then it’s our invention. The fish intestines blade is a perfect prove, which was built in Chin Dynasty, way before japan invented “basic layered patterned steel”.
