Finishing the Shirogami Gyuto: Building a Wa Handle
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 เม.ย. 2024
- Sorry for the length of this one. It's a pretty long winded walk-through of how I build my wa handles, using a mill. I learned a few things along the way, so I hope you do as well. Thanks for all your support.

All those milling operations got me feeling like some stone age peasant just setting my work rest to 45 degrees and using a disc grinder. The dowel is definitely a quicker/easier way to go compared to broaching. I left and also came back. It's just too quick and easy to mess around doing it any other way. That handle layup looked slick. Love me some spalted reds in a handle. Enjoying the videos man. Keep'm comin!
I truly appreciate you. Thanks a ton for the comment. If I’m being completely honest, I only did a couple handles on the mill before I went back to my original way of doing it, on the grinder. This just took way too long, but I do like how the mill doesn’t generate a lot of heat on the non-ferrous metal like the grinder does, which causes the epoxy to fail if you’re not careful. Options are good though.
The dowel technique has been working for me and you've confirmed that I should keep using it. Your process with the scribe lines will improve my process. Thank you.
Yeah, the dowel technique is great. I’m always happy to know I’ve helped. Thanks a ton!
Absolutely gorgeous handle, the figures and colors really work together and really balance out the subtle and beautiful blade.
Thank you! I truly appreciate that. I definitely got lucky with some of these burls that I stabilized.
Lot of info there but probably my favorite is the simplicity of the pin prick bottom in the drill press. Great idea
Oh, and the double vice brazing station👍 I struggle with that set up
Thank you! Yeah, it works really well for me.
Very nice wa handle I like the color choices all said Very beautiful gyuto 🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️
Well thank you very much 😁. I appreciate you.
Beautiful knife. Thank you
Thanks a ton! I appreciate the comment.
that is a beautiful knife and as ever some great information shared, thanks
Thanks a ton, Andy! I always appreciate you.
Great video, beautiful knife! Side note, am I alone in fighting off intrusive thoughts every time I’m finish grinding on the 2x72? It could go wrong so fast! Lol
Much appreciate! Hahaha. You’re not the only one. I used to screw up all the time, when it was the most inopportune time…like the last pass on the grinder, then I catch the edge of the material as I turn around to leave. I’ve gotten much better, just by learning not to get too comfortable. I feel that mistakes are what make us better at what we do, as long as we’re learning from them.
I may have missed it on a previous video, but what temperature and soak time did you use on the Hitachi white steel, oh and what quench medium? Thanks again, great videos.
So, I heated to 1475°, soaked for 10 minutes, then quenched in Parks 50. I tempered at 325° and ended up at 63RC. I was hoping for 65RC, but I’m thinking I needed to water quench for that, which I’m not willing to do 😂
How do you like that table top milling machine? How hard of a hit on the wallet was it?
I actually like it quite a bit. It’s changed the way I do a few things, and it’s definitely opened up more possibilities for me. I think this guy was around $1500, so somewhat affordable. If I was to do it again, which I might, I’d probably go a step up and get a Precision Matthews mill. Something with a little bit larger table and a little more solid.
All in all, for smaller work, this thing is great.
Do you do your own wood stabilizing or do you have people you get your supply from?
I do my own stabilizing, although I haven’t stabilized in a few years. I had to make space for more important tools, so I’ve put stabilizing on the back burner for now.
