This week’s woodworking build video is wooden knife sheaths for my friends who work at one of my favorite restaurants. These things are made from zebrawood, walnut, wenge and leopardwood. I finished them with wax thread and they came out so cool. I really can’t wait to see what you create! Let me know what you’d like to see next. Thanks for watching! Please like, comment and subscribe. Cheers!

I was kind of hoping you see there reaction when you gave it to them, I am assuming they loved it.
These are beautiful
"It's not stupid if it works." - JKM 2019
Best quote ever!
Hahahaha thanks bud
Alec Steele been using the phrase for years.. Even has t-shirts. =P
Unfortunately, the truth is, it's still stupid. It's just that you got lucky.
lovely,I would add earth magnets to the thicker side,you can even do them from the outside,and do a decorative epoxy
Looks great. About had a heart attack when you used the actual blade as reference for your little hole. Was thinking how lived I'd be if anyone drilled a hole in any of my knives lol
Love those Shun Classics. Amazing knives. Easy to hand sharpen and keeps a great edge. I need a couple more to complete my set.
I need to make something like this for my carving knives... maybe mortise a small neodymium magnet on the inside to hold the sheath on. Great Idea Jonathan, well done.
Omg absolutely beautiful!!!
Awesome! I've been wanting to do this for a few of my chef's and other cooking knives. I love the way that walnut looks.
Small button magnet at the knife point end inside the sheath would be a good way to go, no need for the leather. 👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺
Awesome project. Love watching your videos.
Awesome project and gift for your friends.
AH BUMMER!! I wanted to see their reaction when you returned the knives...
Genius idea and well done. Always love watching your video's and your projects are super easy to follow.
Awesome video. I need to make myself some of these for my work knives. I love shun and they are my favorite cause of the weight so I can cut all day and not get fatigued from the heavier knives. Was thinking of making a wood knife case since my bag is ripping and I need to replace it.
I love that you have a custom holder on your apron for you combination squared
Nice Project, Man! I love the genuine thoughtfulness behind it, and I also love how you don't hide your mistakes with camera cuts, i.e. the small tilt by the Router. Like you always say, man Woodworking isn't about being perfect, it's about knowing how to fix your mistakes, and I always find myself repeating that in my head every time I build something. Thanks for always keeping it real, Jonathan...
My guy!
Great build. Thanks for sharing
Those look amazing Jonathan! 😍👌🏻👍🏻👊🏻
Very nice Saya, JKM. You can also make them a bit longer at the heel of the blade so you can use a peg to keep them in place. Then attach said peg to the body of the saya with a cord of some sort so you don't lose it when the knife isn't in there.
Let me first say those sheaths are beautiful. I’m a chef who got into work working through rehandle Japanese knives and making sayas (sheath) for them. Google “saya pins” for a quicker, easier, longer term, and more food safe option of keeping the knife in place.
Was going to say the exact same thing.
Sure, magnets are an option like some people are saying, but they're weak to lateral movement and could wiggle off without much effort.
Pins are more traditional, more secure, and ensure you absolutely 100% never get that little bit of the heel poking out where it can bite your finger.
I have a few I need to work on handles and sayas for here myself, and it will be pins on all of them, for sure.
Katz , that looks beautiful 😊😊
Awesome!
Super cool!!!
Wow......I was actually thinking about how to make one of these yesterday!!........I came up with the same methods, but im going to add a neo magnet to one side to give it some resistance to falling off........great video!!
Nice idea :) I don't know that much about knives but before you go thru with it, check how magnetic the knife is, I made a bird feeder with removable stainless steel bowl recently (held in place with magnet) and it barely attracted. Ended up having to epoxy a washer to the base to get it to magnetise.
Good idea
I made a knife block for camping and used magnets. Works great.
@@thebullettrain1757 Nice! Were the magnets exposed or did you drill holes for them from the rear? If so I'm just wondering how much material you can magnetize thru?
@@ApexHerbivore I had a scrap piece of cedar 4*4 that I cut opposite sides off of, routed out the knife shapes in the middle piece, drilled a pocket for the magnets along the spine of each knife pocket, glued the magnets in, glued the sides back on. One magnet per knife. I have to shake it pretty hard to get the knives to fall out.
As always, awesome.
Dude they are awesome! I made a knife block from salmon gum in a similar fashion. Love it!
Ohhh I wish you were in my country. I want one so badly 😢
Such an awesome video! They are going to send their knives back to get matching grain handles aswell
Hahaha that would be awesome!
Very cool
Killer video. Keep up the great work!
Really nice looking sheaths! :)
Dude those are badass
I enjoyed this. I need to make koshirae for a couple swords and while I have grown to hate carving/fitting them by hand I recently started working for a company who owns a large cnc router table and I hope to talk them into allowing me to use it.
These came out so nice. Great video!
Glad you like them bud! Was a lot of fun.
awesome work
Give them a suprise invoice too!!
That's not very friendly hahaha
lol
@@katzmosestools this is why I don't offer the "Friends and Family discounts". Owning a business is hard and if anyone should pay you your worth, it's your friends and family.
@@crmcbrideww I always think it's nice for Friends and Family to reap the benefits of your skills. It's a cool community type thing in my opinion. But I guess that's why I'm always broke lol
Very cool! As many others say, it would have bee nice to see the reactions at the new sheaths. I'm assuming though that the recipients did not want to be on video? Also, contrary to almost every one else, I really like the "leather wrap" lock. The only reason there would be to use a magnet in the sheath was if the knife is being put in and pulled out of the sheath constantly all day long rather than just being used for transport like I'm guessing these sheaths will be used for.
Man I'd love some of that drop to enlay in a red oak sheath I want to do... that zebra was crazy
Another amazing video, keep up the amazing work.
I would just like to take a second, to say thank you for being one of the influencers in my life that have got me inspired start woodworking. Looking forwarding to buying one of your dovetail jigs.
Wow that's awesome to hear my friend! Go get'em tiger!
Meaning what exactly...that if he can do it anybody can ? Kidding. The video inspired me too.
Nice job, they look great. One thinbg about magnets is that stainless steel knives may not have enough attraction to work well. Japanese knives have used wooden sheathesor 'sayas' for centuries. They use ho wood which is similar to poplar. Light and straight grained wood that is soft and won't damage very delicate edges. Instead of a tie, the edge side of the saya extends past the choil and sits just below the handle. It is held in place with a bamboo peg that prevents the knives from sliding out. It is the simplest and cheapest solution. And they don't finish the wood. They rely on wood's natural property oif not harboring bacteria for very long
Where can i get some of the "dont worry its food safe finish?" 😂
At the, "know it all commenter depot."
@@katzmosestools lmfao 👍
Great looking knife
Mountain View Turning Shun cutlery for Christmas please...already on my list.
Great one!!
Everyone is saying magnet magnet magnet, but it wont work with a lot of stainless metals.
I am a fan of waxed hemp. I use it for many things. Ive done a few wrapped tethers like that too and people love them. I wouldnt do it on a belt knife, as you want quick acess. However a magnet button on a handle strap would work as well as a snap. Being a handle or a hilt (like this one) strap, it would not care if the knife is stainless or carbon. I like the wrap on this though. Good balance of thick and thin. Id say that twine is 20lb, and just once or twice over the heel of the blade would hold it plenty good for a kitchen knife transport. Any heavier and you risk busting the sheath, rather than the string. Good choices.
I might use zebra wood for my next knife handle, and make it a matching sheath. I like that grain.
Was hoping for a "reaction" video - but I can only imagine they were thrilled.
Is not stupid if it works !! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Those came out awesome!
Amazing! As always)
I have made a number of saya (sheaths) for my Japanese chef knives. Yours are very nice. I never finish the inside, though, for two reasons. First, if any moisture gets inside, I want the wood to wick it away from the blade; this is especially true for reactive, carbon steel knifes. Second, I don’t want a knife rubbing against a finished surface every time I slide it in or out of the saya. Finally, no self-respecting chef is going to put a dirty knife into a saya. If they do, they deserve whatever happens.
I had heart palpitations when he said "we need to drill a hole through each knife." glad he meant on the sheaths. I would never bring my knives back to him for sharpening again lol.
they came out great, i think ill make some for when i take my chef knife car camping. By the way your stop block is really really great.
Thanks bud!
Good video.
need me some friends like this
Someone said they’d sue you over the Goo video? Holy hell. Only in America indeed.
Great video and such a fantastic result. Nice work my good man 👌
Said I could get sued and I should remove the video. Was trying to be helpful but was very far off base.
@@katzmosestools what the hell could you possibly get sued for in that?? That's isane, people have been using that type of finish for ages.
Nothing harmful about it, and if you're working in a professional environment where liability is an actual thing, you shouldn't be getting your information from UA-cam in the first place 🙄
Freaking people nowadays.....
Damnit I wanted a reveal! Would’ve been really cool.
Those look a helluva lot better than a towel and rubber band!
Hahaha so true
very nice. great video👏🧿
Would a tiny rare earth magnet down near the tip hold the knives in? I’m thinking bore a hole inside the sheath and glue it in before you finish the inside.
The name you're looking for is Saya, and sealing the inside is not necessary. Traditionally they are cut with chisels and they are kept in the saya by a wooden pin, not twine.
👌 good
Instead of the string, which looks very cool btw, what about sinking a rare earth magnet into the thicker side of the sheath at the tip to hold it in place on the blade?
When I worked in a restaurant the chef was super picky about his knives. No one touched them and only HE would sharpen them. I guess these folks trust you a lot or they are not as fussy as this chef was. Thanks. Great idea.
Put a magnet in the sheath to hold the knife. Would that be a good idea?
Epoxying a small neodymium magnet inside would keep the knife solidly in there I'm thinking.
They look gorgeous, nice video! Is Wenge a good choice though? It’s allergenic and the dust is toxic, so when the knife scrapes some material off on the inside... is that something you worry about?
How did you deal with squeeze out of glue on the inside of the sheath?
Using magnets to hold the knife in the sheath would be cool.
You had me at dovetail sushi.
Glad to know I wasn't the only one thinking the same exact thing!
I think you should have put a magnet inside to hold the blade in. But it would have made the sheath a bit thicker... Anyways, great project and I am sure your friends will be happy!
I noticed your push blocks slipping on your jointer. Depending the brand, to reduce slipping I’ll either wipe the pads with denatured alcohol to enhance the stickiness or using a razor knife I’ll cut slits in the pad - acts like the sypes cut into winter tires.
What is the name of the software you use to measure the knifes?
Great video! Came out great. Be sure to let us know how your friends react to the sheaths!
They were happy!
Well what did your friends say did they like it
Nice! So did you find that it’s perfectly fine to only route one side? I’m asking because I saw you ended up routing on both sides once you tried the CNC machine. Thank you for the video!
Yeah its fine
You ever go to Finney's craft house in Santa Barbara? If not you need to check it out.
Was there last night. Love Finney's
Those look really amazing, but the leopard wood colour value (b&w) is to dark for a dark thread.
Ok... going to stop right at the beginning... WTF! What kind of chef doesn’t sharpen their own knives? That was one of the first things I was taught when I started!
Edit: The sleeves came out brilliantly. I’ve still got friends in the industry, I think I know what they’re getting for Christmas.
I was wondering about the chef not sharpening their own knife also. Unless he really changed the bevel on a Tormek?
Do you sell these? Or take custom orders?
💖💯😎👍👍
Hey Jonathan! My former chef is a chef at the Lark in Santa Barbara. Would you mind making some for a few of my knives and I’ll buy them off you. I’m looking to support the people who support my people!
I don't do commission work and this was just a fun build for a friend. Definitely a great beginner project if you want to try to tackle. Cheers
ANOTHER project to try! Thanks! BTW, do you have a video on how you sharpened the knives? I NEED that!
Check out #burrfection, he has a ton of kitchen knife sharpening videos.
Yeah what the other guy said. There's probably people better than me at sharpening knifes
@@shaines , Thanks, fellas!
@@katzmosestools , you're too modest, but I will check out #burrfection
Question, does it help the content provider to have comments? More to the point, I’ll be sure to leave comments if it is beneficial to you.
Steve
It definitely does. Thanks bud!
SCRAP WOOD CHALLENGE, SCRAP WOOD CHALLENGE. it's scrap, it's crap, it's firewood, BUT SOME OF THE WOOD IS GOOD!
How did they feel about you drilling holes in their knives? My daughter is a chef and spends thousands on her knives.
Dude, did you watch the video??? No holes in the knives, just in the sheath... then wrapped the cord around the handles.
Chris Steere guess I didn’t watch the whole video. My bad.
Way cool. very nice of you to make them for your buddy. One thing - the way you waved that knife around made me cringe waiting for you to slice off a piece of finger. Maybe it's just the camera angle but dang that looked close a few times. You talk with your hands like my wife. If I held her hands still her head would catch fire. LOL.
No reaction???
Me sad
I didn't know Jimmy Kimmel had a woodworking channel on UA-cam. 😏
I love this but let's be honest, that's not scrap wood, it's offcuts. I wish I had scrap wood with that quality lol 😂
Liked this idea, then lost me with the CNC. Not sure why craftspeople call it hand made. IT:S A MACHINE.
gee, the bandsaw is a machine, and the router, and the table saw, and... and... and...
@@drhardin51
It's the computerized labor...
Sued? For what? Food grade mineral oil and beeswax is exactly what commercial cutting board goo like Boos Board Cream and Howard Cutting Board Conditioner are made from.
Agreed 100
your sheath are expensive..
I just made few sheath kind of that by using hand tools only.. 🤭😊😊😊
You're the best!
I could do this job with a blunt chisel and the wrong hammer
As they say, "There is more than one way to skin a cat." If you want to use a blunt chisel and sledgehammer, that is you prerogative. I'm sure Katz-Moses would love to see you post a video of your technique.
