Truth be told, half swords sold online are made in Longquan city, China.
I bet some of swords friends visited here before the covid, so what changed now? I am using our factory as an example to give a peek into longquan swords factory.
So please enjoy!
Your Sword Friend-
Alex.

Thanks for the insight.
So, you do not forge your own blade blanks, then? Just design and assembly in your factory?

Nice insight, honestly more orderly than I expected.
BTW the sword you had in your hands at 7:12 looked like it had the perfect dimensions on the grip portion for me, do yo sell this one?

There was someone there forging at one point, in the corner with the brick forge. Interesting video, thanks for sharing! You guys have a nicer factory than I imagined you would! The ceilings are high, and most of the space is taken up by storage, not tools. Was this a historical sword forging shop that was renovated, or was it built more recently?
I thought this sign in red on the wall was a motivational quote or something: 安全第一 质量室 "Safety first quality room"

We did on our own as well, for forging, it's another factory, we have to put it far away from this industrial park and also the city crowd due to the loud noise and powder polluting concerns. I will make a tour lately.

BTW I didn't mean offense. I expected something more like a traditional forge, I didn't expect it to look like a shiny factory.
To harden and temper blades, do you send them out?

I understand, but we do have different factory location, like I explained, polluting and loud noise are huge issues near the city, but fortunately, we do have far away village with government designated places in longquan. now to answer your question, yes, send them out.
