My Knives - #03 Nakiri
This one is just out of the oven.
She's leaving for a new home today.
Steel - 1095 differential heat treatment with hamon (acid etched)
Handle - ergonomic D-type in two-tone walnut (by a worm) with G10 and carbon fibre spacers.
Out of the quench
Rough grind at 60 girt and a quick dip in acid
Dirti 220 grit grind
Hand-sanding to 800
Cutting test before the final etch
Final etch
Handle rough and final
And almost done
I did put on the maker's mark after this video but managed to break my phone before the pics were sync to the cloud. I'll take a few new ones and edit the post when I get home.
As always, if you have any questions just drop a comment below.
Thank you and see you soon.
Great work bro. Thats look cool in real. I like this post. You are really a master in making knives. It looks professional work. Keep posting stuff like this. Cheers
Thanks, much appreciate it. Keep tuned, I'll be posting more content soon.
Making knives is a rare skill in the western world where more and more we have gotten further away from making things with our own hands.
I took a break from doing anything but seating in front of a screen, for I don't know, 20 years. Now am back and couldn't be happier.
Wow, do I ever relate to that! And I discovered that sitting causes its own problems.
Your knife is a true master piece! I love the connection of that beautiful wood and the sharp cold metal.
Thank you - I do prefer wood over composite materials. Somehow it feels warmer to me.
awesome job man. in the first pics almost looks like a san mai with the huge difference in colour xD ahah
cool stuff :D
Thanks, it was a brutal quench in brine. The curve in the spine is from quenching - it was strait as an arrow before. So thats the reason for such a strong difference in colour
