For blacksmiths, to produce quality products, it requires the blacksmith to choose iron and steel, and to know how to look at the heat to create sharpness and durability for each product. To make a forged product, it must go through many stages such as cutting iron to shape, heating, hammering, dipping in water, then heating and hammering again until the product is shaped. |
