“有澳大利亚的、新西兰的、法国的，他们在网络上查到了我们这个周家刀，就到成都和我们太平镇来找我。”周家刀锻制技艺第三代代表性传承人周光兴说，因为周家刀在网络走红，他已经接待了很多外国人了。

"There arepeople from Australia, New Zealand,and France who found our ZhouJia Dao on the Internet, and cameto visit me inChengdu's Taiping town." Zhou Guangxing, the representative inheritor of the third generation of Zhou Jia Dao forging skills, said he has received many foreigners since the Zhou Jia Dao became popular on the Internet.

周光兴的爷爷、父亲都是铁匠，他16岁开始跟着父亲学习打刀，43年来，捶打出无数把好刀，身上也留下不少烫疤。周光兴又潜心八年重拾了非遗锻造技艺千层钢刀。

Zhou Guangxing's grandfather and fatherwere both blacksmiths.He began to learn to play knives at the age of 16 from his father. Over the past 43 years, he has hammered out countlessgood knives and left many burnscarson his body. Zhou Guangxingdevoted eight years to regain the non-heritage forging skills of the thousand-layer steel knife.

一把菜刀从选材到锻打成形，需经几十甚至上百余道工序，从镇上的铁器厂到自己开在太平镇的铁匠铺，周光兴克服重重困难，渐渐使周家刀走出了太平镇，走向国际，锻造的刀也跨越重洋，去到法国和澳大利亚等多国。

A kitchen knife from the selection of materials to forging and forming, needs to go through dozens or even hundreds of processes. From the town's iron factory to his own in Taiping town, Zhou Guangxing overcame many difficulties, and gradually made the Zhou Jia Daoout of Taiping Town, goinginternational. The forged kniveshavealso transcended oceans to many countries such as France and Australia.

去年，周家刀被纳入四川省非物质文化遗产名录。周光兴希望多打几把陪伴人们盛享三餐的周家刀，让古法制刀的技艺能一脉一脉传承下去。

Last year, Zhou Jia Dao was included in the intangible cultural heritage list of Sichuan Province. Zhou Guangxing hopes to make more Zhou Jia Dao to accompany people to enjoy three meals, so that the ancient knife-making skills can be passed down one generation after another.
