The Tang sword has a curved handle, while the Japanese sword has a curved blade.
Why was the Tang Dao eliminated by history? It was not a problem with the performance of the Tang Dao itself, but that the Tang Dao was too expensive! For example, why did the German Tiger tanks in World War II lose to the Soviet T-34 tanks? Could it be that the Tang Dao was too expensive?
Is it a Tiger tank or an antique? Is it garbage? Speaking of performance, I am not talented. Although I did not get a real knife, I used the knowledge I had to make a model Tang knife. During use, I found that the Tang knife has
The following points are not possessed by Japanese swords or are rare: first, because Tang swords are straight swords, they are particularly good at thrusting and can easily cause the same penetrating damage as spears; second, this is a common feature of straight swords.
The advantage of the Tang Dao is that it has strong cutting force; thirdly, the Tang Dao has a unique feature that no other knife in the world has, that is, it cuts first with the cutting edge. This special design makes the interface between the front edge and the blade
A point similar to an awl appears at the blade. When the knife holder correctly uses this part to chop, the force from the hand plus the inertia of the swing will concentrate the force on the front part of the blade, and when it hits an object,
The scar left by the object was very small, but very deep. I discovered this when I was swinging randomly. The door panel that was hit at that time directly made a hole. Fortunately, I stopped, otherwise the hole in the door panel would have been damaged.
It will open even wider--.
In the same way, Tang knives also have shortcomings, but very coincidentally, the shortcomings of Tang knives are overcome by Japanese knives, and they become the advantages and even uniqueness of Japanese knives: First, the curvature of Japanese knives can adjust the center of gravity of the knife. My model
Tang Dao must be heavier than the real thing
The knife is much lighter, but after using the model knife for a period of time, I then held a real Japanese sword and found that the two were actually the same.
The same weight; secondly, when the Japanese sword is used for chopping, it will not be as powerful as a straight sword, but it will not be as powerful as a straight sword.
The knife is so laborious. The curvature of the blade ensures that the wielder saves effort when slashing and at the same time causes considerable damage. Third, you can compare the blade designs of the two. The Tang knife blade is V-shaped, and the Japanese knife blade is V-shaped.
The blade of the sword is U (--similar) shape. There is not much difference in the impact of cutting between the two, but the Japanese sword is more convenient.
Finally, we can look at the forging process. Tang knives use two methods: "hundred steel making" and "steel-wrapping". These two methods are time-consuming and laborious. At the same time, this method is used to mass-produce Tang knives; Japanese knives
, using "clip steel", although they can also practice hundreds of times, their time-consuming and labor-intensive works are generally only for daimyo and samurai classes. Ordinary soldiers only use knives with clip steel technology, which is relatively time-saving and labor-saving.
Tang Dao is actually a general term
Tang knives are divided into instrument knives, horizontal knives, barrier knives, and mo knives.
The straight Tang knives we generally refer to are the barrier knives and the horizontal knives.
The tip of the sword is rhombus-shaped and has no arc.
The horizontal blade is curved
The blades are basically the same
And we often say that the Tang Dao was lost. In fact, the Yi Dao was said to be very beautiful and was used exclusively for etiquette.
Mo Dao is a broadsword used by soldiers. It is similar to a horse-cutting knife.
How to answer the question why there is no bend...
At that time, our ancestors did not realize that casting some knives into them would enhance their strength.
After the Japanese learned the Tang Dao technology, they continued to improve it.
In addition, the improvement of smelting technology and quenching technology has improved the understanding of weapons.
It is obvious that straight shapes are more likely to break when encountering high-intensity external forces.
And the curvature will have a buffering effect
One thing is that curved Japanese knives are more effective than straight knives when cutting.
You can draw a straight line that pulls and a curved line that pulls.
It is obviously curved and can cause great damage to people.
