Netooku Otoko no Tanoshii Isekai Boueki (WN)

Episode 92: Ordering Sword Is The Scent Of Romance

In the first place, what is the difference between iron and steel?

For what I normally live, I may not be very conscious.

Is it something vaguely similar? To what extent do you think?

But these two are distinctly different.

Iron is iron, both broadly and narrowly.

Element number 26.

I said steel and iron are separate, but broadly the same "iron".

Because the main component of steel is iron. Steel generally refers to "carbon steel".

So, what is carbon steel? An alloy with iron as its main component, refers to an alloy in which iron has carbon in the range of 0.3 to 2% or less.

The source of steel (haganese) is blade gold. In other words, they mean the blade material of a Japanese sword.

When it comes to Japanese knife materials, you know "Jade Steel (Occasionally)", but this is what they call it after Meiji. I don't know what you called it until then, but maybe that was the blade gold (haggane), or maybe it was just a good treatment of iron.

The Japanese knife itself has a fairly ancient history, but the ancient knife era - roughly until the beginning of the Edo period - seems to have been the one in which iron of various origins was used.

Since it was in front of the clan, there was also imported iron, and there was only a small amount of iron made in the countryside. Sometimes meteorites were used.

Essentially, it seems that Nanban iron from the ship was often decarburized and used as steel in the local tamarind (...) as a material.

Anyway, they had that kind of diversity, but since the Edo period, it's a clan country, so they ran out of supplies against the demand for iron.

It was steel after the new sword (Japanese swords are classified as "ancient swords", "new swords", "new swords" and "modern knives" by era) that was created on board the production of iron in relation to the shogunate. I mean, at that point, material diversity seems to have been considerably compromised.

Even if not, many cases seemed to have failed to inherit technology (there would have been cases where materials were not available and were out of business), and they said that ancient knife period technology was often lost.

Even now, the best thing about Japanese swords is that they are ancient swords, a story that goes by as common sense.

Of course, some things would be good, some would be bad, even old swords.

Even during the Edo period, there would have been knives made of ancient knife materials and knife making methods, and there should have been as many bad products made of ancient knives as there were. That would be the same thing to say even in post-New Knife works.

However, it is said that most Japanese swords that are considered to exist are ancient swords and cannot be reproduced in modern times.

That's what you call Lost Technology.

In the first place, old things are basically easy to leave behind "good things".

In some cases, Japanese knives were used as weapons, and the worse they were used as weapons, the more they were eliminated and lost.

In addition, the more products launched by celebrities, the higher the demand and the higher the value. The higher the value, the more important it will be and the more likely it will remain in the afterlife.

However, after the Edo period, when the war was over, it was not so much a Japanese knife as a weapon, but rather a relationship in which the demand for Japanese knives as works of art increased, it could be difficult to see whether the remaining Japanese knives were "good as weapons".

Even in that sense, an ancient knife may be said to be worth it.

Well, even in the Edo period, the ancient knife was popular, and even then, the story is that fakes were rampant, so it doesn't necessarily mean that only the good ones will remain.

By the way, I like to make knives.

I haven't made it since I started coming to the world over here, but until then, I had made it at a rate of about two a year.

I made the first boy knife I gave Mr. Sherrow myself, and the knife my Dwarf parents here were looking into was the one that originally sold me the one I made to the Meeker Chamber of Commerce.

A product made by an amateur. Not a particularly good one.

But the material is good. The blade ATS-34 is made of high-end Japanese knife steel, and the grip is made of rice synthetic called micarta.

If I had this steel, I wouldn't have retired, and my parents would have said it, and more importantly, it seems to be recognized as a good material in this world.

The blade material of the knife is made of steel (haganese).

The types of steel for knives are broadly carbon steel, stainless steel, powder metallurgical steel, and even composite steel combining different materials.

The blade material I use to make knives in my hobby is 100% stainless steel. There are no exceptions.

The difference between being a manufacturer of fine formulations is that there are only so many types of 440C, ATS-34, VG-10, silver paper, all of which must be stainless steel.

Stainless steel is characterized by the presence of chromium.

Ratio is more than 13%.

Thanks to this in it, it is rust resistant and also makes Tsurpica shine.

The way it is created is that most people who make knives in their personal hobbies, the god of knives, R. It is produced in a way called Stock & Removal devised by W. Lovelace (although technically manufacturers are more or less this way).

This, in short, seems to have been a pretty groundbreaking method at the time in the way of cutting out a sheet of steel and making a knife.

Of course, there is no blacksmith element in this method of creation. Either sharpen - polish - or work near the iron mill.

But as a knife, you get performances that are not excessively scarce in this way, and they look beautiful. There is no cost.

At least even for me at Neat's, it only costs as much as I could have made it out of play (in my case, it's a big deal to borrow machines from someone I know).

So what about carbon steel?

This material is less commonly used in the Stock & Removal method.

At least I've never used it (semi stainless steel containing a few percent chromium or even around dies steel).

That's right.

Ordinary steel is a blade production technique that would commonly come to mind - that is, blacksmithing is used by heating iron, beating it, shaping it.

This is called forging.

If you are a blade lover, forging is something you admire once.

But people who actually get to the point of getting their hands on it will be even rarer, even among a few custom knife builders.

Incidentally, the biggest thing that separates a blacksmith from an iron mill is whether or not to do a forge, which is that process of heating and beating.

There are similar words for casting, but this is a method of pouring hot, liquid metal into a mold and removing cold solidified items.

I don't use it much in relation to weapons. The cast is heavy.

Well, aside from that.

This time, I was bringing in a cool amount of Yasuki Hagane "Blue Paper II".

Blue paper number two is carbon steel.

Technically it contains a small amount of chromium or tungsten, but the classification is carbon steel.

Steel is' alloy 'as just explained.

In short, it is not a natural product.

It is nothing like a man who exists as a natural thing, like iron or gold or copper.

Iron seems to be the most common metallic element on the planet. Value in use is also high.

Therefore, research is also under way, and Japanese steel is said to be fairly level.

Among other things, steel is firmly positioned in Japanese blade steel.

That's Yasuki Hagane.

This is the steel produced by Hitachi Metals, a Japanese steel made based on whether it is sand iron or spongy iron rather than iron ore.

Hitachi Metals also researches and produces "Jade Steel", an ancient Japanese steel, and "Blank Paper II" is a steel of fairly close nature to Jade Steel.

- Well, it has to do with how many bottles of "Blue Paper II" have been bought and brought so high this time around.

First of all, I've told you many times that knifemaking is my hobby.

So naturally, I am interested in blade relations, and I naturally like Japanese swords, not exceptions.

I've actually thought about buying a Japanese knife a few times, and I did quite a bit of research with interest.

And I found out that the Japanese knife neighborhood... is pretty easy.

Well, I'm a knife-making hobby, and I'm going to know how great modern steel is, and I have (though I bought) a carbon steel knife.

Japanese knife material - or steel, needless to say, "jade steel".

So what the hell is ball-steel steel?

Many fantasies are rampant about ball steel.

- But I want you to think about it.

I mean, jade steel is just primitive steel made of blown iron. That steel can't be that good as a material.

Of course, there can be no denying the possibility that primitive and inefficient methods can do better things so that sweet tomatoes can be made on lean land.

But still, it shouldn't make that big a difference.

Difference between good antiques and modern objects.

In our industry, this is referred to as "the difference in the extent to which hair has grown".

It's a big difference for people who like it, but to a lesser extent for people who aren't interested.

If you still think there's a big difference, all you can say is that it's licking modern science.

So what is good steel, no blade material?

When it comes to swords, they become "unbroken," "unbent," "well-held blades," and "rust-free."

First of all, the first "unbroken" and "unbent" are troublesome. These two elements are a relationship between hardness and toughness, which basically contradicts each other.

"Good blade holding" is abrasion resistant.

Rust is an inevitable path unless it is stainless steel.

And the Japanese knife is supposedly clearing this except for rust.

But, well, that doesn't matter at this point.

Anyway, I was talking about why I purposefully bought Blue Paper II out of expensive money.

Blue paper is luxury steel, so I just bought a few swords (I don't know how many will actually be there) and it was even 50,000 yen.

This is even if I bought it cheap at a tutte I know.

The stainless steel I always use is about as cheaper as a blast.

There's not so much demand. It's a small production of special steel, so I can't help it.

So, how could I have bought that, because I wanted to try, "I wonder what it would be like to have a sword struck with a good one of modern blade steel"?

... Yes!

It's easy!

It's easy, but there's a reason why I thought this.

I've been talking a little bit about Japanese swords since just now, but what is Japanese swords in the first place?

That's a weapon.

I'll skip the details, but it must be a weapon, well.

But modern Japan, no, has not been allowed to possess Japanese swords as weapons since the war.

Japanese knives are "works of art". There are no exceptions.

What do you mean?

Japanese swords are weapons, but possession of weapons is not permitted in Japan.

Possession is OK, up to protective gear at best.

Historical weapons, if possessed, can be cited as "gun knife violation". Possession means "simple possession". That it's the same thing you shouldn't have with drugs.

If it is a blade, anything more than 15 cm across the blade is considered a sword (including spears and swords, etc.).

Since the serial killing of Akihabara, the dagger knife (which is technically a dagger-dagger, so the dagger knife is misused) was also simply banned from possession.

Even a knife whose possession is supposedly OK has the possibility of arrest (even a pocket knife) if it is carried with it for no reason. It's so harsh.

However, Japanese swords can be possessed.

Why.

The Japanese knife in modern times is a weapon, not a weapon.

Originally, after the post-war occupation, I managed to defend it by claiming that "it's a work of art, so it's strange to take it as a weapon" to protect the Japanese knife from the United Nations army's sword hunt (and still quite a few Japanese knives were lost, apparently).

Of course, it's a registration system, and an unregistered sword is a violation of the Gun Knife Act, but a properly registered Japanese knife is no longer a weapon.

I don't know the details, but Japanese knives are categorized as works of art.

But for that reason, it's a lot more difficult and harsh.

First of all, this is the biggest shackle, but it is not legally recognized as a Japanese sword except for works made in ancient Japanese traditional methods.

Not being recognized as a Japanese knife means it's not a work of art.

In other words, weapons. It is a violation of the Gun Knife Act.

So even though there are so many steels, the only steel that can be used for Japanese knives is "Jade Steel".

Blue paper, blank paper, spring steel or stainless steel are not permitted to make knives in them.

By the way, striking a knife is also licensed.

A licence will not be issued unless you have taught a mason and undergone several years of training.

Hitachi Metals is also the only company that makes jade steel and wholesales it.

The number of copies a mason can hit per year is also set at 24 swings only (publicly, masons will be the existence of a framework of 'artists' rather than weapon-makers)

But it doesn't matter if you're in another world.

It's perfectly fine to have the sword struck with the material brought in.

It won't be a Japanese sword, but I don't originally believe so much in Japanese sword mythology, and I even feel like Dwarf is better than a lousy mason to make.

In the first place, modern masons mostly produce knives as works of art.

It would be odd to compare it to a blacksmith in this world who needs a blade as a weapon in a bee.

Because there is no way that modern masons can realistically hold the view that "the use as a weapon will remain questionable in this construction".

The performance of weapons in this world would be quite real.

There is also a war between humans. Even bandits leave. Warcraft and monsters also exit.

I'm sorry I didn't cut it or broke it.

In that sense, performance as a weapon may be more demanding than a warring age sword.

For a long time, it's called the Mother of Invention.

In addition to jade steel, there are other stories about Japanese swords containing fantasy.

The Japanese knife method, for example, has some kind of turnaround workout. It's an alley that turning iron over and over again makes it strong and tenacious steel.

But this is a misunderstanding.

That's just a task of mixing and uniformizing iron.

It may resemble baking.

GOPAN, which I bought from us as well, but left it unattended without using it at all! but anyway the ingredients don't make a tasty bread unless mixed and homogenized.

The story flew in a strange direction, but anyway, I tapped primitive, hard to use iron or stuck it in the water, so I skipped impurities and even the ingredients. In particular, it should have been mandatory to adjust the amount of carbon.

In short, it was finely crafted and adjusted to be aimed at iron with no good qualities.

Of course, this is an amazing technology.

But I don't need that work if steel has good original qualities.

Experiments show that the result is that intensity increases until two folds, but that is a completely different story from fold workouts.

Well, as a work of art, it seems important that the pattern is cool due to folding exercises, so it seems to be an essential process for a Japanese knife as a work of art.

There are other ones called laminate structures. To make it hard and difficult to break, a soft heart iron is wrapped in hard leather iron.

But if it's good steel, can it be made innocent, that is, even a single piece of steel can be good enough?

In fact, I hear that wartime military knives and the like were made in that way, and instead of having no problems in practical terms, they could have been used more seriously than they were made with poor traditional methods.

Then that would be enough.

It's not like you want to build a famous knife without a pair.

Well, in reality, there are as many Japanese swords (samurai blades) made of these modern steels overseas, but these are not realistic because they are quite difficult to import and possess.

In Japan, where gunknife laws are tight, KATANA is as illigual as guns.

Incidentally, "Blue Paper No. 2" that I brought in this time is the name of steel, but naturally there is also No. 1 beyond having No. 2.

There is the basic yellow paper, blank paper number two with impurities removed from it, blue paper number two with chromium and tungsten added to it, blue paper number one with more carbon and more hardness to it, plus even a blue paper supermarket that is mashed with carbon just tungsten.

Personally, I wanted to bring in a blue paper supermarket.

Because without practicality or anything to do with it, I wanted to see how that would react by looking at the hard steel.

It's high-tech steel, and I'm worried about Dwarf's reaction.

... but I couldn't.

'Cause it's so expensive.

... By the way, the blue paper supermarket is super stiff, difficult to wear and long lasting steel with cuts, but it is somehow stiff but therefore fragile, so it is not suitable for swords.

If I were to say something practical, blank paper said to be closer to balls steel might have been better than blue paper.

It's even possible that sticky spring steel was better.

Because when I say modern blade steel or something, I guess that's steel optimized for short blade knives or something, and I don't know if it's excellent for swords.

However, blue paper would be somewhat resistant to rust because it contains chromium, and the blade would hold well.

I wouldn't actually have that many errands to use, so I wouldn't have anything to say if it looked beautiful and haunted.

Well, if you make it out of blue paper, it should be at least as good as a performance knife, and it can be said that such a degree is enough.

No, the Blue Paper II is not good enough and upscale steel.

I mean, it's a world where there's no such thing as a Japanese knife, so I'm going to have it made with a one-blade straight knife. The Seven Star Sword of the Holy Virgin Prince is romantic, isn't it?

Of course, if you can, you can put the opposite in.

Anyone but me, should I normally make it a long sword?

It's troubling.

... well.

Romance is fine, but just for the elepi, let's have it made with bee specifications. We need to talk about this.

Besides, more importantly, the most fundamental problem is that the cleavage comes from the user's arm. I train swords, but I don't train to cut objects.

◇ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◇

I lined up steel for many kilometers and took out eight more liquor bottles.

Water of Life (Aqua Vite), whiskey.

Based on the cheap image of "alcohol when it comes to Dwarves," I've bought a lot of cheap ones in discount stores.

Convenience 8 litres. I was excited to think there were lots of blacksmiths and dwarves.

I actually tried to make it an even cheaper one with a pet bottle, but when it came to talking about how to make a pet bottle, it seemed like a pain in the ass, so I stopped it.

Well, the one in the bottle is probably too expensive to manufacture from this world. The glass bottle itself is here, too.

But, well, I was planning on bringing the liquor anyway.

When we got along, we had the bottom line of having Netook make a product for us to sell.

I had planned to bring less at first, but I went into the inventory, so I tried to bring a ton.

This item box is cheaper than the ability to appraise...

"This liquor, well, I'm like you at first glance, and it's a feeling. Drink for everyone. I hope it fits your mouth."

I say with a smile as I strive to serve alcohol.

"Are you sure? So much."

That would be expensive, wouldn't it? the gaze of the greater parent.

Well, certainly not cheap. Even so, it's about 1,000 yen a litre.

However, in this world, even 100 yen shops can sell fairly high. When that happens, it is not easy to say that it is cheap because it is worth 8,000 yen.

It's just that in Japan you can buy it for 8,000 yen.

Because the amount you sold here would be worth this booze in this case.

So it becomes a high alcohol in this world. I didn't actually sell it, so I'm not sure what the fair price is in this world.

Well, it wouldn't be bad as a forward investment.

Plus, the steel I brought in - the big parent taking Blue Paper II.

Close your eyes in your hands.

Blue paper number two, held in the thick red tea hands of the skin, as if dealing with a baby. It's as if you're even about to hear an iron voice.

"... you're telling me this guy's gonna do it too"

After a while, he opens his eyes, a big parent who whines like a solitary.

I mean, you can use that to make a sword.

"No, so I want you to strike the sword. No, if you like it."

I think I liked the stainless steel for the knife, but I don't know if it's blue paper. That's when it happens.

The Great Parent returned to the blacksmith when he returned the blue paper to the table with humility and suddenly yelled.

"Ooh, you guys. Come here with your hands free! This Dana brought me iron and booze. That's the best, too!

The Dwarves, who are summoned by the Great Parent and come together to see what is what.

Each with the same trick as the greater parent, takes Blue Paper II. Some were stunned, some raised their voices of joy, and some wept.

And I saw a ton of booze, and I still cheered.

I don't know, but they seem happy anyway. Good.

When I was horrified, the Dwarves in joy...

"Hi Ho."

"Hi Ho."

What...?

I slapped the chatter and the golden floor instead of Tyco.
