Ly Nhan’s products are favorite nationwide due to not only their long-standing history and trademark but also their quality. With skillful hands of artisans in the village, they create high-qualified products with complicated processes and operations. At first, blacksmiths must select a type of steel that is solid enough for each kind of product. After choosing steel is to weld, burn and chop the steel.
This process helps types of steels connect to each other to form a shape of a product. However, the process giving soul to the product is to chop and burn steel (called tempering and welding iron in terms of technique). Each establishment and each blacksmith have their own way to temper and weld steels. Experienced craftsmen just see burning fires in the furnace or hear sound of whetting and then they will know that product is finished or not.
