It was harder than I thought for a group of Nam Ph.D. to go to the forge.
I couldn't find it in Suwon and eventually had to come up to Seoul.
Although the headquarters of Navis is in the construction area, the forge sign is not visible even between numerous factories.
Already, a sign called Forge has become a rare artifact for people.
After biting hard, I heard that there was a forge near the fire pit and went there hard.
In the late evening, one sees a shabby shop in a narrow alley.
A small, dull incandescent incandescent bulb inside a single forge named Hansung forge reveals a shallow interior.
“Are you there?”
“Yes."
When I heard Dr. Nam's voice, an old man in his 70s came out crouching his legs with a cane.
He wore old work pants on a dirty work jumper top that was rusty.
I'm wearing split sneakers.
The behavior seems very uncomfortable, even though it may be due to old age.
“Is that the boss over there? ”
“Oh, we're done here. Come tomorrow."
The old man came over and replied with a annoying look.
“Look, I'm sorry I'm late, but I was wondering if I could get a knife. ”
The old man who hears Dr. Nam's words folds his annoying expression and suddenly starts to show interest.
“Hmm... a knife...
Young people nowadays look for a lot of makers, and they don't really look for a knife here.
Yeah, where are you gonna use it? ”
“Yes? Where do you want to use it? ”
“You need to know if you're going to slice meat with a knife or you're just going to use it for cooking at home.”
“Yeah, that's it. It's just for cooking. ”
“Hmm... cooking...
So... let's see... you can stop by about 4: 00 tomorrow afternoon. ”
“Oh, yes. So... how much do you want? ”
“Give me 5,000 won, I'll give you another 10,000 won tomorrow.
Just a regular knife for 15,000 won. ”
“Here's 5,000 won. ”
Nam took 5,000 won out of his wallet and turned around.
The hope of leaving the forge with me suddenly came up with a question and asked the old man.
“I'm sorry about the old man over there, but can I come see you working tomorrow? ”
The old man replied bluntly after a brief look at the face of hope.
“What a... curious young man.
You don't have to be near the fire to see anything dangerous.
There's nothing you can't do.
You'll be here around 11: 00 tomorrow. "
“Yes, thank you very much. ”
“I'll be back tomorrow, too. ”
Said Changsu was coming with me.
Eventually, Dr. Nam's three men gathered in the forge at 11: 00 the next day.
Unlike yesterday, I can see the inside of the shabby forge in the morning.
Farming equipment is so prominent that it doesn't feel like Seoul.
I see sickles, hoes, plows, and strange utensils that look like a tripod.
“You have a lot of weird farming equipment here. ”
The old man answered the question of hope.
“Oh, that? There are people in the cemetery.
Because the fort is a weekend farm, many people in Seoul go to farming on weekends. ”
“Oh, yes. ”
An elderly person of the same age, such as the owner, raised the electrical switch of the equipment as if he was about to start work.
Hot heat begins to be pushed from the machine.
“Is this an electric furnace? ”
“Oh, this? I used to hit charcoal, but now it's cheap and convenient. ”
The old man picks up a small piece of the iron box that was piled up on the other side with a tong and puts it in the electric furnace.
The Iron Ark starts to run red in an instant.
There's hope and sweat in Changsu's face with Dr. Nam watching it.
I didn't know the forge was so hot before.
Almost 40 degrees Celsius.
Especially with electricity, it's hard to turn your face.
The old man picks up the red iron ark and takes it back to the anvil.
Instead of hitting the iron ark with an iron hammer, the automatic hammer starts to hit the iron ark.
Thung, thung, thung!
I originally thought a skilled blacksmith was hammering, but this is surprising.
As he twisted his tongs, he tapped around and caught the approximate shape.
The old man stepped on the pavement and stood up with a limp leg.
I hammered myself in alternation with my colleagues this time to get a more precise shape.
After a while of hammering and hammering, the knife handle snaps and the rest takes shape.
Immerse in cold water and cool.
As the iron temperature indicates, hot water vapor blooms in clumps.
Finally, the gripping and clamping of the handle part to the tree was completed.
The iron ark is sweet and sincere. It is only 30 minutes away.
The face of Changsoo, who had been expecting the work of an old man with a spirit of craftsmanship, began to shine a disappointing color.
On the contrary, Dr. Nam's face widened as if he was expecting victory.
The old man spoke, looking at the half-finished form of the knife.
“Well, the centre is pretty big.
All we have to do now is build a day. ”
Hope asked the elderly as if the fabrication process seemed to be made from clay.
“Wow, you're making it so fast. Is there a trick to making this? ”
“Secrets? If you just make a lot of things, you get the feeling of making them.
And you always have to think a lot about how to make people feel comfortable buying.
Then it gets better and better. ”
The old man grinds the knife to the grinder with a familiar skill, and then rubs it several times on the masonry and gives out the finished knife.
“I'm done, just give me 10,000 won. ”
“Your Elder.”
Hope respectfully took the knife.
The shape of the finished knife is just as vulgar as a cheap knife at a glance.
A wooden handle is a wooden handle without a pattern instead of something fancy.
Just a shallow steel knife.
Like a shabby result, the process ended up very quickly, as if it had created something roughly.
However, it is hard to count on the work of a famous man there, because it is a 15,000 won knife.
Nam said to the old man, who seems to be more interested in the forge equipment here than a knife.
“Hey, boss, did you make this from scratch? ”
“That? I made it. I ripped out the scrap material I couldn't use.”
“So, what's the automatic wreck over there? ”
“Well, it was just ripped and refurbished from a broken shelving machine.
The platform is broken. I rip it out of the mining.
I'm old enough to lose my strength, so it seems like I have to hammer the superbees with a machine. ”
“Oh, you're amazing.
From what you're working on earlier, it looks like the hammer can also control the force. ”
“That's because I learned to control motors and I was self-taught, and I cared.
Young man, I see you've had some machine food, too. ”
“Yes, Mr. President, I am now 14 years old this year. ”
Nam was quite impressed by the apparently invisible machines.
The equipment here is rugged and simple, but it's actually very practical.
Looks like Tony Stark, the blacksmith here.
With a little advanced equipment, HGD1 can also be pulled from the forge.
However, Changsoo was very dissatisfied with the crude shape of the knife.
I can't believe his opponent had to fight with this shabby knife from Rinckel's Fivestar Serison, a German luxury food knife.
My heart's absurd.
‘Damn it, if I knew this, I would wander around the country looking for the Sickknife Master and ask him...
The only place I found was a local forge in a corner of Seoul. "
Changsoo hid his heart and spoke to the elderly.
“I'm sorry about the old man over there, but that knife is so shabby.
I'll give you all the money you want, so can you make it better again? ”
“What? What about this knife?
All you have to do is lift the knife.
Are you ignoring cheap? ”
Changsoo's words touched his nerves, and the old man just started to get angry.
“No, that's not it... Elder...”
“Well, what about my cutlass, yes?
I've only been in the forge for 50 years. ”
“Ugh... Senior... that's what I'm saying!
Are you sure you can count on it? ”
Changsoo suddenly began to have a strong battle shame.
However, the ensuing dialogue broke even the same expectations.
“But it's mainly farming equipment.
Hahaha... I don't actually make a lot of knives, because I don't really have a lot of people looking for them.
Young housewives are only looking for Germans or Swiss. Hahaha... ”
The old man scratched his head like he was embarrassed.
Poop!
Changsoo collapsed.
So the last hope flew away again.
In 192, a hundred-kilo chunk of muscle sits on the ground, like a poor, hot polar bear.
Hope shakes the knife in her hand lightly.
But strangely, I feel like I'm clinging to my hand.
The feeling of swinging Machete in a contemporary blazer?
What the hell is this knife? ’
I don't think so.
There is no way that a shabby knife worth 15,000 won would be such a fame.
Hope thought it was just an instantaneous illusion and came out with a knife wrapped in a newspaper from the forge.
Nam, who was in the driver's seat, said to Changsoo next door with a thoughtful expression.
“Hhhhh... Changsoo, you should see the results now. ”
“Argh!”
Changsoo is now a shabby face.
“Then let's go to the hot water plant to compete. ”
“Hope, why is it there? ”
“You know what it's like to be used by restaurant nutritionists. ”
This is an unexpected battle for Dr. Nam.
“No, Hope, why don't we take it to the R&D center and start with a robbery test or a scrutiny? ”
“Well, once you have a good knife, you win. Well, why do you need that?
If it's good to write, it's good. ”
Changsoo listened to hope, which made a lot of sense.
“That's right!
Why do you need that kind of analysis, Dr. Nam?
Good fight, Dr. Nam! ”
Suddenly, the Chang Water starts to burn the battle insult.
Having become anxious about something like that, Nam thought about using a different battle method.
However, I cannot refute the words of hope.
It's normal for a good knife to win in the kitchen for any reason.
‘Ugh...
I don't think that newspaper is going to have a fantasy of losing a maid's knife to a shabby knife like that. ’
Nam thought that such worries were encouraging.
Then the battle began in the kitchen of the hot water factory restaurant.
The kitchen has a shabby forge knife and an expensive German knife.
“So you're saying we should try these two knives and judge? ”
“Yes, it is."
“Hmm... swordsmanship is mostly our youngest.
Come here and slice the dishes with a slice. "
“Yes, Mr. Cook."
They each saw two swords and said,
“Oh, that's Fivestane Carl, the maid.
And what is this?
It's like a very old knife, no trademark, it's cheap. ”
When I heard that, Changsoo's face became red at once.
The two men, Snow Young and Zuri, each held a local forge knife that represented the two countries and began to cut the rains.
The two bettors each began to watch the battle with a sweat in their hands.
It's like playing the German and Korean football teams on the main lines of the World Cup, and it's a battle of pride for both countries.
But the opponent of Hannok was Rinkel Sikkal, a luxury brand that represented the strongest chariot squad.
South Korea's representative is only a 15,000 won local forge knife.
In fact, the battle may have been decided before it began.
Both of you make it easy to slice.
However, both knives were cut quite well and the battle began to be surprisingly unknown.
The two people who had made the same ingredients by slicing two mows began slicing again by switching knives with each other.
Two people, each with two mows cut alternately.
I wondered what the battle was like.
Hope asked in a taut tension.
“Which of the two knives do you use better? ”
The two chose Hankel, Germany at the same time.
“I bet this knife slices well.
Because it's a five-star brand. ”
“Me, too. Rinkel slices well. ”
Dr. Nam cheered.
“Wow, I won. Hahahahaha.. Changsoo, I won. ”
Changsoo shook his head.
“Ah, it's hard for German luxury...”
“Well, then, Dr. Nam won this battle...”
Soon as hope was about to decide the battle, Snow Young said.
“It's close. I'm more comfortable with Ikal.
Rinkles slice better, but strangely, this wooden handle knife is less powerful. ”
Zuri nods.
“Yeah, me, too.
I think it's a lot easier for Ikal to write strangely.
I don't know why, with less power.
Ical, can you give me that? I like it so much. "
“Me, too. I like knives very different from what they look like. ”
“Huh?”
“Huh?! ”
“Yes?”
Nam Doctor and Changsoo Hope three people looked at the two nutritionists without knowing what they were talking about.
Wondering what he was saying, Hope decided to cut himself and picked up the rain.
Then he sliced the mow alternately.
The eyes of hope grew.
“Huh? Really!
Changsoo, slice it. That's amazing. "
“Yes.”
Changsoo also moved and tried to slice it.
And the nutritionists found out what that meant.
“I'm telling you... it's amazing."
As Changsoo murmured, Dr. Nam also chopped to pieces to see if he was curious.
And I opened my eyes round as if I would not believe it.
“Oh, my God... this! ”
“Yeah, I guess...”
“This battle looks like Changsoo won."
Dr. Nam admitted defeat.
Hope cleared up this situation.
“Then this battle will be won by Director Changsoo.
Of course, it's true that Rinckel slices well, but strangely, the forge knife is easier to use.
As a result, they are much more comfortable with the same knife and much less powerful.
It's judged to mean that the center of gravity of the knife, the grip and the sense of unity are perfect. ”
After all, the German knives were also excellent.
Sharp, well-knifed knife.
However, the local forge knife was less powerful in cutting the same.
Thinking about it, it is precisely the expression that the wrist is less powerful.
Even the Germans cut relatively well.
But there was a deviation between the front and middle and the back, and the local forge knife sliced all the parts equally well.
If the other side of the swing, like the Germans, slices off first, eventually the angle of the knife tilts unexpectedly, causing the wrist to become too tight.
On the contrary, cutting as intended consumes very little power.
Eventually less sharp, it means that the forge knife, which moves as intended to the end of the wielding movement, is less crowded and easier to use on the wrist.
It is the undoubted perfect victory.
In fact, none of the three had anticipated pressing expensive German cutlery with a 50-year-old hammer from the local forge.
Hope recalled the conversation with the old man in the forge.
“Now I understand why the forge elder said that when he asked me the secret.
And I always have to think a lot about how to make things and how to make them comfortable for the buyer. ”
No scientific theory or advanced equipment from the R&D center could keep up with the hammering of the local forge elder.
Hope, on the other hand, caught a glimpse of Machete's secret in the words of the forge elder.
The answer was hiding somewhere completely unexpected.
