Making "Yakut" knife - blacksmithing
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 гру 2018
- All done with no power tools. I forge a knife blade, carve a birch burl handle and a wood inlay for the leather sheath etc. Open the full video description for more information.
The yakut knife is a traditional and common belt knife design in Siberia used for every day tasks in the wilderness.
I recommend to google "yakut knife" or similar and get inspired. This was my first time making a yakut knife and I learned a lot and will next time do a few things different - like keeping the sheath and handle more true to yakut knife traditions.
------------------------------
Materials: Old file, birch burl, birch wood, cow leather, tung oil, epoxy.

Most asked questions:
1. Do you sell?
No. Don't sell any thing.
2. What "power hammer" is that?
Treadle hammer and here is a video only about the hammer • TREADLE HAMMER - HOW M...
3. What is the purpose of the forged hollow part on the Yakut knife?
A lot of reasons... Here is some of the main once. 1. Stiffing. 2. Less surface area - giving less friction resistans when cutting and giving less steel to remove when sharpening. 3. Less weight - making some yakut knives able to float in case example a fisherman drop it in the lake. 4. The blacksmith use less steel.

Hello from Yakutia, Siberia! Beautiful knife and very fine forging of bevel and stiffener groove! Your crafting methods are very authentical. Looks like some ancient blacksmith works in Siberian woods. The only thing that differs from Siberian knives is sew on the sheath. You sewed it along the plane in Scandinavian manner. Usually we are sewing sheath not along the plane but along the edge. But it is awesome too!
Hey friend! I love Serbia ❤
@@aqeelmeer366 Hi, he's from Siberia, not Serbia. That's the birthplace of these knives.
@@Maxim_Startsev spelling mistake i just want to express my emotions
No words, no music... just the rhytmic hitting of the hammer, the cracking of the fire in the forge... it' s so hypnotic and peaceful...
What a wonderful video!
Best wishes from Argentina
While I don't mind helpful explanations I find all kinds of background music terrible.
Thanks for watching ? No, thanks for making and sharing !!!
What's this supposed to mean?
@@cr6539 That he shouldn't be grateful that we're watching and yes, we thank him for doing and posting his work on youtube
Frick you
I liked how you demonstrated the scooping function of the knife while making it's own sheathe.
Oh wow it's the Michael Reeves of blacksmithing
@@cej3940 that's actually a really good comment.
@@cej3940 he really is, and joshua weisman is the Michael reeves of cooking

Thanks for not having music in the video, the ambient sounds are amazing and overall a really satisfying and relaxing video. Well done sir.
Rate: 10/ 10
I was always surprised at the practicality of this knife! I am a Yakut myself and that says it all! No knife can cope as well as the Yakut knife. I see you are a big fan of this knife, which means you made the right choice! A knife for all occasions! 👍💪
The Yakut knife is the best knife design hands down. I spent more time than I care to admit, and this is the only knife design I always go back to.
It can't be beat.
No electricity, hydraulics or pneumatics. Just like it was done for over a thousand years.

The only sounds we hear are tools impacting the work. It's akin to a classic piece of music by a master like Bach. No pontificating blather fm someone who does not know what he is talking about. A real master who let's his work speak for him.

He used an epoxy clue. Isn't it?
But the epoxy was found in a cave over 1000 year old. And the file he started with had to be even older.
kind of DIY video i like..no blahblah no merch , just a man and raw material .Thumbs up awesome job!
Очень качественные видео. Грамотно и обдуманно снятые и смонтированные. Спасибо автору!
Same
Мне тоже, его видео , по душе !
Все скопирована у нашего блогера, Адвоката Егорова!!! Прям и сказать нечего))
@@user-nf4sh9zf6p ага, станки, электричество, чистое помещение
yeah, true that
I have never seen someone who could demonstrate so much knowledge and skill without ever speaking a word. I have thoroughly enjoyed every video of yours I have had the opportunity to watch. Not only do you demonstrate outstanding skills but your filming and editing are phenomenal as well. You are truly talented my friend.
if you like this kind of video,watch freerk wieringa and Torbjörn Åhman
Go watch Shurap, imo. the most skilled knifemaker who doesnt speak.
primitive technology ?
As comment above suggest, I definitely think you should check out Primitive Technology if you enjoy this styles of video :)
(All his video have captions aswell if you are curious about materials he using at a given moment, etc.)
@Shawna W my point is " this kind of video" not how difficult it is
Приятно смотреть. Атмосферно, а главное - без лишней музыки. Спасибо автору.
И без вые6онов с резкой бумаги.
I still watch these blacksmithing videos frequently. Thank you so much for sharing your craft. I very much hope you are well and enjoying life. peace from USA Colorado mountains.
Hello Rune, three months ago my father passed away, I was quite sad. Thanks to your videos, your way of life, the silence, the clicks of the fire and the hammer ... I start to be happy again. I started to follow you with just 3000 followers, and now we are many who enjoy your style. Follow so friend, a hug from Spain.
I'm sorry for your loss...
You really have my respect as an artisan. Humanity need more people like you.
Beautiful craftsmanship and a great video! I have been using those and I can recommend it as an everyday forest knife. Thank you so much for honoring traditions of native folks of Syberia that aren't that well-known in Russia itself nowadays. Cheers from Mother Russia from a fellow wanderer. =)
Sir, you are a true craftsman. I am certain that anyone that owns one of your tools considers it a treasure.
Спасибо Вам за ваши видео!!!Я люблю их смотреть так как в них нет ничего лишнего. ВСЕХ БЛАГ ВАМ!!!!!?
Молодец мужик сразу видно с руками и головой!Такие люди нигде не пропадут .
So nice to see someone hammering a fuller and distal taper into their blades instead of all the modern grinding that proliferates UA-cam these days, truly inspiring, thank you.
Every time I am watching one of your videos, I'm losing track of time and space. These are the most wonderful videos I've seen on youtube. You crafted them with extreme care. Thank you so much for the therapy.
Whoever is making this knife and sheath has to be one of the finest craftsmen I’ve seen in a long time
нож просто огонь! сделан с любовью и теплотой рук мастера! я восхищен!
заточка на вид, не более
Wow, this is the best knife making video, I have ever seen! No fancy machines or tools, just a craftman with his knowledge. Now, I will try this by my own. I have no forge, but I am sure, I will have a great knife, when I just grind an old file into the right shape and harden it at my fireplace.
I can watch you do your thing all day long. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. From northern Michigan, USA.
great to see the old skills still alive. We can never let them disappear. Great work sir ;)
Hi my dad was also a blacksmith, he made a hammer, blacksmith's pliers, a copper mallet, a knife from a bearing and did blacksmith work. We also felled together in the woods, I can work with a chainsaw. You have beautiful videos.I am 13 years old and I come from the Czech Republic and I like the Nordic lifestyle. You have beautiful videos just like that :-)
what material was the file from in our country, the files are made of steel.and you cup to blue or gold
To make and use a tool you have made yourself is so special. I’ve never forged a blade, wouldn’t know how to or have the means. I have utilised and made tools however.
My dream is to do what you have just shown, forge and create.
I understand you don’t sell what you make, and guess they are gifts.
Lucky recipients.
As always a gorgeous video. I love the lack of narrative and music, the sound of creation is everything.
I watch your videos and my heart rate lowers, I become relaxed. And mildly envious of your talent.
Thank you so much for making me happy.
One thing I love about your videos, you are very meticulous. You don’t rush, you are careful and precise. The work will take as long as it needs to take, and when you are finished it will be your best work. Well done 👍🏼
This Yakut knife is my favourite tool of yours, I just love seeing it in almost every video! ...that old Record vice is something pretty special too.
I can't say as there any craftsmen as respectable as this guy.
He takes the "less is more" approach and it has phenomenal results.
Check out the Essential Craftsman channel. :)
@@pamelah6431 nooooope.
That guy talks too much.
You check out the crafsman channel.
@@themarlboromandalorian his talking is soothing, comforting, educational, and a joy. Hence remarls on every single video saying he should take up doing audio books and that people would come to hear him talk about any subject conceivable. It's too bad you missed that. He is a treasure.
@@pamelah6431 you clearly didn't check my suggestion.
You've no frame of reference.
@@themarlboromandalorian well, that makes no sense.
I made a buck saw out of an old oak play pen from the trash today. It was awesome. Thanks for the inspiration Bertram.
There is nothing that shows mastery more than calm, unhurried, deliberate, effective work. There are little things in this that really impress me. Together it adds up to mastery. Thank you. I learned much.
I've watched so many videos on how to harden a knife. All of those referred to me of using an oven at the end, until now, watched someone did it the old fashioned way which I was looking for.
I bet there are more who searched for the same too.
On behalf of those people, I request, you share with us the skill, in detail, in a dedicated video.
Thank you from Bangladesh.
There are inexpensive homemade forges you can buy and heat up the knife with a propane (or other gas) torch when i say inexpensive i mean around €60 compared to €1100 ones
@@rogaldorn605 Forges not a issue. I find the tempering process is difficult.
@@HasanulIslamtimetuner you just put it in your oven
@@rogaldorn605 Thank you for your reply my friend. I suggest you read the query again I wrote to the author of this video. Have a beautiful weekend.
@drew13600 thank you my friend. Your reply gave me little more knowledge about it. Really helpful.
A real Yakut knife, soft, sheathed in an oxtail. And well done as always !!
I have several things to say. Ive never seen a foot press hammer like that, its been a while dince ive seen traditional smithing here on UA-cam, and there's not enough smiths on youtube that post just the work, no dialogue or music. This video alone has given me more insight into the craft than most other videos ive seen. Thank you for the great content.
Dziekuje, wreszcie robota bez szlifierek i pneumatycznych młotów , widziałem taka robotę gdy byłem dzieckiem w koło leciały iskry i kowal wykuwał wszystko z sercem po prostu magia ,podziwiam powodzenia ,chętnie zamówiłbym taki nóż , jeśli jest możliwość proszę o namiary
One of the most beautiful and pure knivemaking I saw until now. My wife is from eastern Russia. I will find this type of knive......one day.....
Looking at the close up shots of his hands one can easily notice that this is a very hard working guy. He probably does more work in one day than most do in a week.
Второй раз смотрю ваш фильм. Здорово, без слов, но очень просто и доступно. Спасибо!
МАСТЕР...привет из Якутии !!!
I wish you sell Yakut knife. I like traditional handmade and would love to have a piece of it in my collection. It will be something I will use as well as treasure.
I retired last April, seems I am more busy now than I ever was. I keep two list in my head: List one: Things I need to do. List two: things I'd like to do. I can never get list one done as to where I can do some of the things on list two. Making a small forge and doing some of the things you do fall into list two. Least I can start my day with a couple cups of coffee, and watch you do the things I someday would like to do. Thanks for posting.
balance learning and doing is 🔑
I use the peacefulness of these videos at night to lull me into forgetting about the stresses of the day……and fall easily into a deep sleep. Thank you.
As a craftsman, with some of the comforts that are considered basic today for a knifemaker, I find this video relaxing.
Need it, make it. That's the beauty! I especially like carving the handle with a previously made handle.
I would love to come learn and make my own.
You are the Bob Ross of bushcraft.
I just want to let you know how zen I feel just watching your vids

Rune Malte you are the most skilled craftsman there is and your techniques are so perfectly executed.. Post more videos please
The simplisity and quality of your videos and builds are amasing
A pleasure to watch a skilled craftsman, especially old school ways. Thanks....
I subscribe to a lot of blacksmith, and bushcraft channels UA-cam algorithm has never suggested this channel. With over 500k subscribers to this channel you'd think it would. I happened to stumble across one of your videos. I was hooked after watching it, and subscribed. Thank you for sharing these great videos. 👍
Might not be the most beautiful piece ever constructed but it still is beautiful and most importantly functional
You made a beautiful work of craftsmanship. You have gold in your hands. Congratulations !
ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING! Well done 👍🏻
Отличный нож! Прекрасная работа!💪👍
Fantastic... Thank for share it , no music, sound of tools it's relaxing video , thanks
One of the best feeling in the world, knowing you made something with your own two hands!!!
Thank you for being country like living, peace full, yet totaly independent on your craft, like master.
Another fantastic video, it's interesting watching the techniques and tools you have for these projects. That power hammer was very simplistic yet seemed perfectly suited to the job, although I'd imagine it would take a little getting used to the arc of the swing if you've previously used a more modern one. I also particularly like watching you make the sheathe as well, and the simple traditional style you use with your work gives me hope that I might actually be able to do some of this myself one day, without having to spend hundreds of thousands on expensive equipment.
Thanks. Great to hear :)
The hammer is called a "treadle hammer" in case you want to look it up on the internet - and yes it's a fantastic help in the shop.
Beautiful knife. The process used was wonderful to watch and learn from, thanks. Your videos are great learning experiences and should inspire others to look for traditional ways of doing things.
Your videos are utterly fantastic. They inspire my husband very much, as well. Thank you for posting these wonderful videos.
I thought I’d been watching this for hours, then looked at the time and I was 2:40 in! Mesmerising work.
Wow! What a great skill, my brother!
Greetings from Yakutia. Young man.👍
I appreciate that all of this is handmade, shows respect for the craft!!
This video’ve got healing vibes. Thank you brother from the north
I really enjoyed this video, all of your tools are similar to mine. I first got interested in blacksmithing when i was 8 and forged my first knife. I used dry wood, heat bricks as a forge, and a hair dryer for air. It turned out terrible the hammer was heavy after about 20 swings and the knife wasnt sharp enough to cut a hair, but i learned. It wasnt until a year or two later i made my first good knife. It was a nordic style twisted knife made from an old round piece of metal. I have now been blacksmithing and crafting for 10 years now and still have much to learn. After my first good knife, I fell in love with Sami knifes and have made 15 of them with varying wood, sizes, patterns, and sheaths. Im currently working on a nordic seax right now thats based off finds from the viking era. Ive never made a yukut knife but after watching your video I'm very interested. I wish you luck with your channel, keep up the good work.
What an impressive man not a battery operated tool in site. Always great to watch
Save for the camera but that's there to document rather than part of the construction
Wow! This is one of the most powerful knife making videos...
Beautiful craftsmanship with no modern power tools . Was going to ask about the concave side of the blade but I think I have it figured out . Thanks for sharing one of your gifts
Отличные видео! Очень интересно смотреть!!! Сразу видно, что у автора руки золотые и растут откуда надо!
Merry Christmas from Ireland, great videos, talented in both crafting and videography.
It’s great to watch a true craftsman at work!
This is true craftsmanship, beyond trades, bordering on artistry.
Thanks for sharing! It was amazing to watch you work.
Rune
)ne hour after subbing, you have me binge watching your work.
Addictive viewing. Believe it or not, I already have rounded up my old cast iron couldron, similar to the one in your blacksmiths video. My 4 anvil shaped objects are primed and ready. Will be modifying my hand gridder into a homemade blower. I am fired up and ready to roll.
thank you once again from Durban, South Africa.
Such a satisfying video to watch. I think all of your tools are how you use them are awesome as well
First time I’ve seen one of these knives. Absolutely amazing. Really enjoy this mans work. Many thanks.
Craftsmanship still lives!!!
Who would dislike this video? Amazing work btw.
guyz using power tools

You my friend are an old soul. This is fantastic
look at this true viking , love it

You are one heck of a craftsman. Beautiful work. Thanks. J.
This is an absolute pleasure to watch . Thank you.
Very interesting video, as promised. Nice job on that yakut knife. I see now the characteristics of that kind of blade. It works on the same principle as japanese wood carving chisels (that also have one bevel and a hollow back). Thanks for sharing...
That foot powered hammer looked like some Loony Toons Acme gizmo.
I loved this video, just because you didn't use power tools, this is what I aim for. Thank u very much
Greetings from a knifemaker and bushman from Colorado, Rune...I've enjoyed your videos and want to thank you...Very high quality and beautifully produced with crackling fires and sounds of tools, wind, and waves lapping, in beautiful natural settings...I appreciate you generously share your skills and knowledge with the rest of us, and all without ever a word...Love the way you work all without power anything and using traditional methods...Kudos, Sir!

Nice job, that knife was invented for living in extreme cold weather. In Siberia for cutting frozen meat. The channel in the steel would allow air along the blade to make the frozen meat cut easier. Dam great invention. It for life that is extremely hard.

Thanks for the explanation. I had wondered why there was such a relatively large channel on the blade.
I just discovered your videos,I am impressed by each one I watch. Thanks for sharing your skill and craftsmanship.
i litterally had no idea u were the same guy from the bushcraft video, and yet here i am watching another genius post. awesome work !
Seriously
When insomnia hits I would watch bushcraft Vidz
You have the coolest toys :) I like that knife; never seen one like it. Good stuff.
