Sword Oh Q ThOU03@0 11eeeDo
What do you think Of sword blade
that contains thousand sheets Of met.
al? Yet they are not uncommon and,
as you will readily imagine, are of orr
entail workmanship. Our painstaking,
patient Japanese friends are the max
ers of them, and a few days ago had
the pleasure Of seeing one in Fourth
avenue curiosity shop and had its
method of manufacture explained.
/ The blades Of these sabers are made
from magnetic iron ores. The steel is
produced in small. very thin sheets,
and the workman begins by fixing one
Of them to the end Of an iron rod which
serves as handle. To this are solder
ed other small sheets until the mass
has length Of about eight inches, a
width of about two inches and thick
ness Of little more than quarter of
an,inch.
This bar is brought to white heat,
doubled on itself and hammered until
1t is down to it's original dimensions.
This process is repeated 10 times. -Four
similar bars are then soldered together,
doubled upon themselves, resoldered
and heated, the. operation being repeat
ed five times. This process makes the
superposed layers SO thin that a saber
contains at least a thousand sheets Of
metal
If you find one of these swords that
has a veined appearance, you may
know it is caused by alternate layers OF
iron and steel being soldered together.
