    When working on a Japanese style knife with a flat side and a beveled side, the thing to keep in mind is that there really isn't a flat side. The urasuki & uraoshi combine to make the blade cut more effectively. The urasuki is a slight concavity in the "flat" side of the blade that reduces friction and helps keep food slices from sticking to the knife.

    • @Makermook
      @Makermook 4 роки тому +4

      The concavity on the "flat" side also aids in sharpening.

    Awesome. My first restoration took more than 6 months. Every square cm I got right just made the rest look even worse. It takes on a life of its own. Then the sharpening - something else that can take a lifetime to master. Restoring a Yanagi-ba now; two months in, fingers raw. I thank the universe for every knife that is saved. Thank you for sharing!

    From this little line cook's perspective, I would say a Deba is basically a multi-use butcher's knife. Imagine a meat cleaver shaped like a kitchen knife. They're sturdy and built with that little stout groove on them to handle thick fish bones. They all taper off at the tip, however, so you can use them for small fish as well.

    Japanese handle maker here. drill the holes in the wood before shaping and glueing. Line up the holes with a dowel or something similar covered in beeswax so the epoxy doesn’t stick to it, just to keep the holes lined up when you epoxy

  • @andrewmcgibbon9785
    @andrewmcgibbon9785 5 років тому +7

    This is how most people get started knife making. Rehandling an old knife or making a handle for a blade they bought from a knife making supply company like Jantz or USA knife.
    Generally, you don't shape the handle until after you have it glued to the tang. If you make the handle oversized, you don't run into the problem of the hole being off center.

    Unbelievable! I just clicked on youtube after spending an hour on my Deba and this is recommended. I feels. My knife was used as a garden trowel for years, handle full of crap, tip of the blade snapped and edge saw toothed. It's taken me 4 years to get it looking and working like a Deba again with sand paper and stones. I did not use power tools to avoid heat. Yeah, the steel is really hard, but beautiful. Any hoo, 8000 grit for the win and cool video, thank you.

    If you just polished the backside, it's a job well done. In case you completely flattened the concave back, then you took the last bit of life that knife had. The concave backside is crucial for Japanese one sided knives.

    A 4 in 1 wood file makes handle shaping a bit easier. One of these days I'm going to make a Japanese style chefs knife full tang Osage orange. I made a bowie with that handle and Love the waxy feel of that wood. I only make hidden tang knives with bolsters front and aft. I peen the tang on the pommel bolster. Living in the Appalachian mountain area we are blessed by many hardwoods. We are mostly poor. I started with no power tools and a home made forge.

    The issue with the epoxy is the smooth surface on the blue pieces. You need to rough it up by "scoring" it. Or use a different material that will bond better like blue wood. You can also dye your own wood if you like.

      They are a single beveled edge Japanese kitchen knives; there are many. Designed to provide a razor sharp edge for precision cuts i.e. the yanagiba (sashimi blade) and it's many varieties...all designs evolved over hundreds of years to dismantle anything and everything out of the sea. The concave back helps with an absolute straight back surface.
      HOWEVER, the Deba is a beast, and can be used as a stud finder with no damage to the geometry of the steel 👍😎
