The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer - Chapter 2099
The ring-head knife that is really suitable for large-scale cold weapon warfare does not need a blade at all, so most of the Han Dynasty ring-head swords found in the archaeological process do not have this part, and this situation has continued to the early and middle Tang Dynasty. .
Just like this horizontal knife, except for the ring head, it is almost the same size from the handle to the tip, and there is nothing protruding from the beginning to the end.
With a long enough scabbard, of course, even the handle can be easily stuffed in.
As for why this now-extinct sword-mounted method is adopted, Nong Bosheng’s point of view is: “Many people think that it is probably not easy for the opponent to grab the sword in battle, but I personally feel that this explanation is a bit far-fetched.
They are all facing each other, the knife is in the hand, and it is not a fight.
This waterproof and moisture-proof may be one of the reasons. The handle of the knife is basically wrapped with twine, and it is not breathable when it is inserted.
It may also be a fashion trend, not a reason to consider it from a combat point of view. Anyway, whether the handle is exposed or not, there is little difference in actual use. ”
Listening to the curator comrade, Zhang Nan thought of the different ways of loading magazines between the AK series and the M16 series: the former “one click and one buckle”, the latter a fool-like “plug up”, some people say that the American style is much simpler and smarter.
Here, you need to hold the last part of the scabbard and then pull out the knife in a “smooth” way, and then hold it tightly after the handle is pulled out;
The other is to hold the hilt tightly and draw the knife, which seems to be one less step, and it seems to be more practical. For example, when the Japanese swordsman in the Kurosawa-style movie is singled out, can the latter lead by a few tenths What about the advantage of seconds?
There may be, but such an extreme situation is almost meaningless in China, Han and Tang Dynasties, and if the knife grid is missing, at least two major processes are missing.
A small blade seems to be inconspicuous, but when it is processed, it can move the whole body!
Originally, a knife blade was all that was needed. Hit a few more hammers at the handle of the knife to make it slightly concave, and it can be used by wrapping a rope, which saves a lot of trouble.
To add a knife grid, it takes time to process the knife grid, and you have to knock out the position where the knife grid is installed. Obviously, it takes a lot of time and materials to process.
It is good to install it closely, even if the process requirements are not very high, but it is obviously not enough to make it shoddy.
For high-ranking officers and dignitaries, a few ring-shaped knives and horizontal knives are made for special cases, but what about the standard long knives for military use in batches?
The process is complicated and the working hours are increased, so it is not necessary.
Of course, there are more ring-shaped knives and horizontal knives that do not have a knife grid but are not fully inserted into the scabbard. In the front section of the knife handle, just add a narrow copper hoop or iron hoop before the rope wrapping position.
The hoop is simple to process and simple to process. The purpose is not to block the opponent’s sharp edge, but to facilitate the winding of the rope, and to prevent the hilt from falling into the scabbard.
The length of the scabbard and the blade match, and if it falls too far, the process of drawing the knife may not be smooth.
But from this horizontal knife ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Nong Bosheng also came to a conclusion.
“Judging from all of the ring-head knives and horizontal knives found in archaeological discoveries, most of the knives had their hilts exposed at the time.
This kind of knives that are all stuffed in, all appear in the tombs where the owner of the tomb has some identity, at least an official. ”
Zhang Nan looked at the location of the tomb at the moment, and already knew the name of the owner of the tomb, but who was he?
Looking up at the sun, the sun near the equator is a bit dazzling.
This is looking at the specific direction.
The owner of the tomb should have some knowledge, because when he finally rested, he did not simply face east, but made himself face northeast.
That’s the direction of Datang!
Trivial things are about to bore me to death, and I am here.
