Knife Мaking. Making a Japanese Knife.

In this video, I'll show you how to make a Japanese knife - Kiritsuke from x12mf steel.
Steel X12MF was created in the 30s of the last century as a tool alloy for cold deformation. This material remains in demand today. Outstanding wear resistance characteristics allow the raw material to be used in mass as well as serial production.
Unfortunately, I do not have the opportunity to forge a knife, and therefore I use a blank for a knife made of x12mf steel. With the help of a grinder I form the outline of a knife. To harden a knife, I heat it up to 1100 degrees and immerse it after heating it in oil. and afterwards I put it in to oven for 2 hours at a temperature of 200 degrees.
To make the handle of the knife, I use the Japanese traditional technique wa handle. The principle is to fix the knife handle with a dowel.
I am not a Japanese knife expert because it takes years of practice to make. If you have any comments I will be glad to hear if you are really a specialist in the manufacture of Japanese knives. But I'm trying for you. Happy viewing.

I've been looking all over for a proper wa handle tutorial and this is BY FAR the best one I've seen, even if you weren't intending it to be a tutorial. Marking the X to drill and half-drilling the ferrule were pieces I was missing. Thank you!

[@dragonrestoration2811]

The amount of intricacy and care that goes into making this... You could've had such an easier time by even skipping a few steps and going cheap on some of the parts, but you took the time to give every part your 100% effort. This is truly exceptional and you are an absolute master at your art.

No epoxy for the blade in the handle _(just being hammered in)_ . Is that to be able to swap the handle if a _replacement_ should ever be necessary? *Great job*

[@ammeor]

Magnifique travail, comme d'habitude

[@Lord-Havik]

Огромное спасибо за идею заточки клинка при помощи деревянного бруска!
Я раньше думал, что для этого обязательно нужно какое-то специализированное оборудование, а оно вот как всё просто 😅👍

[@TheCrypt5]

Just amazing! Thx for sharing your skills

[@HelloAdam_]

That honestly turned out amazing. Using that threading die to reduce the diameter of the wood you used as a tapered bush was genius. Incredible work 👏

[@WDRestoration]

Thanks for watching 👍👍👍

[@SweetTooth8989]

Agreed, that was my first time ever seeing that done. Impressed it worked so well.

[@tctc8578]

That was outstanding in all respects! That handle is one of the classiest I’ve seen! Great craftsmanship 👍👏🙏

[@vincentjoseph5726]

That's my favourite Diy hobbyist traditional living products.well to say i used something like this type...in All sizes sized. You know if you have working in a work Shop and due to weather you don't have interference from anyone you are the unwanted person then you improved versions are out of the hiding of the mind of yours.. good style projects of yours

I have wanted to make Japanese style knives for quite some time, cutting the Wa slot is what has stopped me. The dowel technique is absolutely brilliant! Thank you for sharing your technique, it is very inspiring. Now I'm off to create...

Это шедевр. Когда человек делает вещи руками, то они становятся с душой. Имеют особую притягательность. И такие вещи неповторимы и единичны. Как личность, не имеющая аналогов.
Хвала и Слава людям, которые воплощают мысли и труд в материальное и осязаемое.
Я уже лет 15 хочу заняться работой с ковкой и изготовлением ножей. Но никак не продвинулся к этому. Максимум, где мне удалось поработать с металлом это на СТО - делал кузовные работы. А познакомился с металлом в аэрокосмическом университете и там получил некоторые знания.

Wow, what an amazing knife! What’s your experience with it so far? Did it make its way into your daily cooking?

[@markust8904]

I enjoyed watching this very much. After all was done, and in your hands, it seemed to me that the handle appeared heavier than the blade, and so the balance would be off, i could be wrong I am not a knife maker, but i have lots of well balanced japanese knives.

[@oneshotme]

It looks excellent and you did a wonderful job making it!!

What is the reason you heat treat without quench before grinding bevels? Is this to normalize the steel? Are you trying to make the steel softer?

The most beautiful knife I’ve ever seen. Nothing else to say. I’d pay 2-3k for that.

It’s a gorgeous knife. If you’re ever wanting to buy a quality Japanese knife there are a ton available online from generational knife makers who charge a lot less than that
