On June 3, a blacksmith was busy forging a kitchen knife by hand at a knife factory in Jiahe County. In recent years, the county authority has relied on more than 2,000 years of forging history to advance the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, continuously expanding forging and casting industry.
