    And this is why I watch other makers.... been making knives and sayas for quite some time and never thought to grind the handle and the saya down together, brilliant idea!

    A trick I saw to ensure that your sandpaper doesn't break when you're doing things like sanding the spine of the knife is to back it with duct tape or gorilla tape. Something that's strong and flexible, but fiber reinforced.

    Just here to say that you technically made an usuba, not a nakiri. Usubas are single bevel, nakiri are double bevel.
    Also, the S-grind is really interesting, but part of the reason you may be getting trouble with your cuts on soft foods is because the flat side of the blade is typically hollow ground while the bevelled side is flat, allowing you to sharpen the edge to a finer point and preventing food from sticking on that side of the knife.

      This is the best kind of feedback. Correct and not condescending or anything. What's a knife like this retail for? It's such a niche thing I wouldn't even be able to hazard a guess, but I'd suppose, a lot?

      @@jerod5636 Decent Usubas can easily go for at least $200 USD, if not much more depending on the maker, steel, materials, size, and any decorative patterning/style they put into the handle or blade. However, the premium in price also is influenced by demand, because the average home cook does not need an usuba and is better equipped with a nakiri and therefore they are targeted more for professional use.
      A nakiri is typically a bit more approachable in price, and better suited for a variety of tasks because the double bevel prevents steering in cuts and is a bit stronger for those who may not be as careful with their knives. Both are thin blades, but generally nakiri are a bit easier to keep from chipping due to the geometry of the bevels leaving more material to support the edge against damage.

      @@jerod5636 -- Not very expensive. If one is a $20 knife every 3years kinda guy then yeah a Nakiri can be "expensive". You can get a Nakiri made of cheap steel for about $40ish. However, a good quality Shun Nakiri can run you from $125 on up.

    Good looking knife and well made. Just a couple of points: when drilling stainless steel, better to run the drill very slow, keep even pressure on the drill and don't lift off the surface until you are through the metal, and, always use a good quality cutting oil. When you lift off the surface when drilling, the surface work hardens very quickly.

    • @glenpiro313
      @glenpiro313 3 роки тому +1

      He did quench using the aluminum plates in the vise, its called plate quenching (thats what I call it lol). Steel that thin would warp super fast in an oil quench, the plates also keep the blade straight as it cools (the aluminum plates are heat sinks and they cool off a 1600 degree thin blade extremely fast). He tempered in that oven after.

    • @Cool-Daddy-One
      @Cool-Daddy-One 3 роки тому +1

      Yes, the foil bars oxygen from developing scale. He put gypsum powder(non-US baby powder) in it to keep it from welding to the foil and sticking. The 2 giant pieces of metal he has attached to his vice act as a heat sink, they draw heat out fast enough to develop a good crystalline structure, or quench. Then baked at 200c to temper. He file tested later, it is somewhere from 60-65 HRC, pretty spot on since kitchen knifes typically range from 57 to 63 HRC depending on intended use and this one is for thin slicing vegetables.

    • @stormkhan4250
      @stormkhan4250 3 роки тому +1

      The 'shock' effect comes from the 2 large heat sinks of what looks like thick aluminium plates to draw the heat away from the blade quickly. What could also be done to enhance the effect is to blast cool air between the gap in the blocks while the blade was clamped in there. It's a form of no oil tempering of the metal.
