I made this Kiritsuke

- Although I am in no way an expert, I really like Japanese stuff. They somehow manage to reduce things to the essentials while keeping them super functional. This is especially true for their cooking knifes.
I already have a cooking knife, but hey ... knife making is fun!
For this Kiritsuke I simply used a piece of 1095 steel. I know that traditional Japanese knives are made from laminates of hard and soft steels but that's just what I had lying around. Purist are also likely to whine about my handle design but I wanted to keep it simple and pragmatic. It did cost me two attempts to get it right in the end.
It was a fun project and this thing might very well become my go-to kitchen knife now!
I hope you enjoy the video!

It was nice to see just simple tools and end up with such amazing results. Cheers.
Thanks for watching! I‘m glad you liked it!
Aw man my heart dropped when it caught fire
Yes, mine too:)
Wow, you did an amazing job! I'm inspired. I have to make a knife :) Thank you for sharing.
Hey, I’m glad I you like it. Thanks for watching and have fun making your knife!
Beautiful work, dude! Amazing looking knife!!! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks for being such a consistent viewer! Stay safe with your family, too!
Awesome knife and fun build to watch
Thanks!
You make it look very doable sir. Thanks for the great video
It is doable! Thanks for watching!
Good job. I also make and restore Japanese knives, so I know what I am talking about. That one turned out a real beauty! You might want to try an aji kiri...
Thanks! I‘ll check that out!
This knife looks amazing.
Thanks!
i like your unique handle. i think you did a great job
Thanks! I‘m glad you like it!
Somehow I want to gift you an angle grinder, on the other hand I find it very relaxing and amazing you're doing it all by hand
Thanks! I actually have an angle grinder somewhere. But the hacksawing really doesn‘t take that long and the noise and the sparks are really annoying.
Not a bad way to go if someone doesn't want to invest in all the tools required for forging a knife. Good quality blades can be cut from the right stock, especially tool steal. That's how big manufactures make knives anymore. They just stamp the blanks out from steel sheet, CNC the the shape, and finish it off with a light grind/polish.
Looks amazing. Thank you for posting. What was the black piece of the handle made of?
Cool craft..
Thanks!
Съемки просто мастерские, как и изготовление. все вручную. Истинный мастер
Thanks!
Wow, I did not now at all that you can just heat the tang and … burn(?) it into the handle!
Yes, if you don‘t heat too much :)
Amazing 👌👏👍❤️
Thanks!
Beautiful video! Did you buy the steel or recover it from other old objects? How thick is?
Thanks! I bought the steel. It was 2 mm thick.
nice work as usual. how long does it take to get the correct temperature with your method? i'm struggling myself for hardening steel with a bbq, not really a good way to get it.
Thanks! It doesn’t take long. Containing the heat with firebricks really helps. In this case it to ok maybe three or four minutes to heat it to a cherry colour.
Hi, i have been warching your content all week. Love it!
What kind of burner do you have?
I have a handyjet but its too small so i need to upgrade
Hey, thanks, I‘m glad you like my stuff. I just bought a no-name Mapp-gas burner at some point that fits the American type of bottle. It gets much hotter than the little thing I had before.
Will look in to it. Really like the idea of not using much powertools. Copying lots of your stuff to do in my garage 👍
@@ugglerunk1 Cool! Have fun!
I tried to link a website but I guess it is not ok for youtube. Going for a mapgasburnerkit tomorrow, 2400 degrees celcius instead of my former 1925 degrees.
Think its the one you have?
Just want to make sure it is possible to use. It is like 150 dollars.
@@ugglerunk1 The one I have was much cheaper. I think it's a Chinese reproduction of some American product. I think I paid around 35 Euros for it. It has been working fine for me so far although I am sure you can get one with better quality...
Nice knife
Thanks!
@@imadethischannel this is so simple u show anyone can do this 🙂
Yes, it requires mainly patience :)
Can you make another folding knife?
I do actually have plans to make another folding knife at some point.
How does the hardness test work? You scrape the edge with a file and if no filings come off it's hardened right?
Yes, if the file doesn‘t cut into it, the knife is harder than the file. Tempering then relieves some of that hardness.
@@imadethischannel from what I understand, this really hurts the file through, you got no problem with that?
Well, I only lightly try to scratch it, so it doesn‘t do too much damage.
The guy has no power tool and made a much greater knife that some random guy with a while workshop and all the tools that you can imagine
that knife is shit. look at the bevels. look at the handle. the geometry is likely worse than what you'd find on a $10 grocery store knife.
very nice.
... but that must take ages with a hacksaw and file, right? :D
Thanks. It wasn't so bad, actually.
It's actually super satisfying to by hand for some, myself included. Most things anyway, flattening a plane sole or I guess an entire blade face on sandpaper can get old, but I usually put a show on my phone while I grind those.
Yes. I always have to remind myself to change the sandpaper often. It feels wasteful but it saves so much time.
What happened to your white oven?
Hey, well spotted 😀 It died and had to be replaced.
@@imadethischannel Here's an F in the chat for services rendered, sleep well little oven
@@etcher6841 Well, it has rendered its services for a long time. So it deserves a peaceful ending at the recycling yard.
1095 rusts easier than stainless, will you have to do sitting special to keep it from rusting, or is that not even a worry?
True, it rusts more easily. But this type of knife is usually not made from stainless because carbon steels can be harder. Also, stainless steels are harder to heat treat at home. tried it once and failed…
@@imadethischannel I had no idea, great info! Thanks for that, you've inspired me, I'm getting some steel flat stock to make a ko deba, after watching this!
@@imadethischannel I've never tried to make a knife before, so this will be the first! Any advice on the heat treating? Like when it's hot enough?
If you take a simple steel like 1095, you heat it until it is red hot and loses its magnetism. Then you quench it in oil. Other steels have different requirements. You should read up on the steel you buy and watch a few of the many good videos on heat treatment. And be sure to take appropriate safety precautions. But it’s a fun process!
@@imadethischannel perfect, thanks again! I absolutely love your channel and always look forward to your videos!
Please share dimensions
Hey, thanks for watching! I do not remember the exact dimensions. It is not about finding a shape that you like. Just draw a few versions on paper and then chose the one that looks best. Have fun building your own!
