FINALLY, someone who tests on newspaper!
The final test is cutting a single hair in the air but I thought it was a bit overkill for a kitchen knife.
@@aikabacrafttools9129 nothing is overkill if we're talking about sharpness
Love your work. From Canada, British Columbia.
Thank you very much!
Very nice! Actions speak louder than words.
Thank you!
beautiful knife, fantastic techniques and resources, congratulations for the work!
Thank you!
Hello.. I'm from indonesia. I have just learn to making knife for uses in my kitchen.. And I love it that knife.. I like when sharpen the knife. From anything video making knife.. this is I love. And I like the sharpen knife....
Thank you!
That was so amazing to watch. Such incredible craftsmanship.
Thank you for that kind words.
interesting. cutting profile of a wester chef knife. looks of an eastern kitchen knife. Also the way you carved the handle shape, really nice craftsmanship.
Thank you!
This is the most beautiful Knife i know
Thank you!
very nice work. i'm not a fan of 1095 but it doesn't matter much in a knife like this anyway.
That sure is a pretty knife.
That's a sharp knife.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
Espectacular 😍 👌🔪
Very goog job...

Thank you very much!
перкрасная работа Красивый итог А не подскажите какой размер рукояти получился у готового изделия?
Beautiful work!!
Thank you!
Beautiful knife
Thank you!
Hola maestro desde Argentina impresionante trabajo me podrías decir cuales son sus medidas en general ???
Gracias!! Pues las medidas son unos 125mm de mango y la hoja 160mm de largo, 32mm de alto y unos 2mm escasos de grosor que se afinan hacia la punta.
Nice work, Bro... Want one of that on my kitchen 😍
Thank you!
This was amazing.. You deserve way more views and subs than that. The time and effort you've put in this knife is incredible. I have a few questions :
- how much does one of this knives cost ?
- in the slot drilled in the handle, is there only epoxy and the tang ? No dowel around the tang ?
Be proud of your work man, and keep making awesome vids, your channel wwill grow fast. Surely faster than mine. You've got yourself a new sub, cheers !
Thank you for your kind words!
And yes, in this case there was only epoxy holding the tang but usually I use a softwood dowel with epoxy and sometimes without epoxy as I did in my "wa handle" last video, making a really fit hole in the dowel or directly burning it so you can remove the handle later if you want.
About the price... well I mostly sold to locals and friends until now, but the prices I asked usually don't pay the hours put in haha.
If you have any specific question feel free to ask me here: aikaba.ct@gmail.com
Cheers!
@@aikabacrafttools9129 yeah that's what I saw in your video. Awesome jig by the way, it's really interesting to see that you've built some a your tools.
I've used the method of drilling and theb filling the hole with some glue, for a buschcraft knife, and after some hard testing and knife throwing, it holds perfectly well. I think I'm going to quit trying to have slot in the handle and just drill like you did, it works perfectly fine.
Ha ha I know what you mean, I also sell my knived very cheap compared to what they are really worth. But at least I try to cover the costs of what I spend to make them.
@@lamproknives Yes, a good epoxy really hold up a lot, I usually do kitchen knives so no problem with those, but even field knives hold pretty well. Sometimes I drill a hole at the end of the tang or make some incisions in it where the epoxy can go in, that way it holds even better.
@@aikabacrafttools9129 I also make incisions in the tang. But for heavy duty knives I usually make full tangs, just to be sure, the knives I mentionned in a previoud comment was a test knife.
Also I don't use epoxy, I use gutta glue. It's cheaper and even stronger, but it doesn't stick to plastic. And it stays at a hard rubber state, so it absorbs shocks.
Loved this
Thank you!
Nice job, just found your channel, I'll be making a set of 5 Japanese kitchen knives this coming Friday, I'm looking around at the slightly different way every other smith is making them right now, trying to get a feel for how to tackle the 5 I have to make.
This one you made was very nice, I like it a lot.
Thank you very much! In the end everybody gives a personal touch to the knives they make, also if you like to cook is a mayor plus because you know the personal feel you are looking for.
@@aikabacrafttools9129 It's true, you're right, and no problem :)
really sharp knife you made, I really like it,, how much do you sell it...?
You should get a flatening stone for your whetstones, keeps them in great condition, nice and flat. Beautiful techniques throughout while video
Thank you! I already bougth an atoma diamond plate for that purpose, the naniwa 400 was screaming for it haha.
excellent work!!!!!!
Please tell me what is the black past??
Did you make the forge?
Thank you !!
Thank you!
In this case the black clay is refractory cement, you can also make your own clay mix like I do in this video (in minute 4:00): ua-cam.com/video/ZkLmBIlhd2k/v-deo.html
And yes I did the oven myself, is a small one, but only uses 1500W.
Perfect
Amazing. Want one on my kitchen wall
Thank you! you can ask me anything in the email I put in the video description.
I wonder what the right solution is to make black Harmon
You can use ferric chloride or some other acid to etch the hamon with a black patina.
I like your whetstone storage box, did you make that yourself? It's great, I always have to leave my stones outside to dry before i store them, your box would save me time, I might make one.
Yes, I made it because of that reason.
Love knife. The combination of the wood species is fantastic. How can place an order for this knife? Thank you
do you just use 1 coat of shellac for the handle ?
What an amazing craftmanship. I would like to start making knives too but i don't know what is heat treatment, how does it work and why are you doing that
Thank you!
You can find a lot of information in the internet, technical information in material engineering papers and the more "home made how to" in forums. Roughly speaking heat treatment has three steps, first normalizing to get a relaxed and homogeneous steel structure (this prevent warping and makes the "grain" of the steel finer), then quench to get the steel hard and finally temper to lose a little hardness and gain a lot of toughness.
Very nice job mate... subscribed😁👍
Thank you!
Fantastic video! I am a week away from re-handling two of my knives with macassar ebony handles. Trying to learn how to do it and your video shows one of the best methods that I've seen so far. Very clear too. My biggest question right now is how to remove the old handle that was epoxied on? Any advice?
Thank you!
In my opinion the easiest way to remove an epoxied handle is with heat, you need to protect the blade from that heat, for example submerging it in a bucket of water and then with a heat gun or even a blowtorch gently heat up the handle and pull with a heat resistant glove or a good leather glove protecting your hands. Denpending on the glue even boiling water can work.
If you don't want to mess with heat you can always use a belt grinder or crack the handle with a chisel, but that way is easier to scratch the knife.
Good luck with those handles!
How thick was the steel?
The stock steel was about 2,5mm
how much a knife like this cost?
What grit sandpaper do u start with and end up with to get such a mirror like finish ur craftsmanship is second to nun
Thank you!
In wood I usually start with 150 grit, reach 800 or 1000, then some buffing with polishing compound and finally wax. In steel I start with 150 too, but go all the way to 2000 or 2500 grit, then polishing with diamond compounds or in this case polishing with japanese natural stones that give the steel the matte but at the same time shiny appearance.
@@aikabacrafttools9129 also what was that stuff u put on with a penny and than u
@@marshallmazzarelli8797 Mmm... I don't know what stuff do you mean. In what minute of the video?
Beautiful. Tell me why do you scratch the hamon after all the polishing?
Thank you! Well... burnishing with steel supposedly brings the steel "bright" after the fingerstone but still letting us see the structure of the steel, that's the theory... but didn't work that way for me haha. Right now I simply polish that part whith diamond compound and then repolish the ha with the hazuya, it looks better.
@@aikabacrafttools9129 ok thank you. Where can I get those finger stones and polishing liquid?
@@toxsick27 I bought those on ebay, but I can't remember the seller... Namikawa-ltd also sell them but I think it's a bit more expensive.
Excuse me what thickness of steel do you use ... great work
The sheet of steel is 3mm thick (about an 1/8 of an inch i think) but the final tickness of the knife is about 2mm in the handle part and it taper all the way to the point
what did you use to make the hamon , clay ? where did you get it from ?
It's furnace cement, I bough it in "Leroy Merlin" here, but you can find it in almost any DIY or hardware store.
Very nice What's the size of the handle?
Thank you!
The size is about 130mm long, 20x17'5 mm (height and width respectively) in the front and 22x19 mm in the back of the handle.
@@aikabacrafttools9129 thank you
What is the clay you used and where can i get some i only recently started forging my own stuff.
In this case it was this stuff: www.leroymerlin.es/fp/17442922/masilla-quilosa-sellador-refractaria-chimybarb-negro
You can use almost any refractory cement for hight temperature and many times I use a mix made by myself of pottery red clay, Iron oxide and some powdered charcoal. This mix can vary a lot, you can use only pottery clay and charcoal or only clay and iron oxide, or even clay and some sand. I do the mix here: ua-cam.com/video/ZkLmBIlhd2k/v-deo.html
you slice the carrots with the french Chef technique
hmmm... let's say it's a homemade technique haha.
Yeah
Great work, man! Where can I buy such a wide piece of 1095? Thank yoy
Thank you!
I bought it on www.highgradesteel.co.uk
Sorry but I can get a far more polished finish on my steel with sandpaper going upto 10,000 grit
You made a very very beautiful looking handle..and that knife also..but it should be at least 8inch gyuto
Thank you! I've been a little busy recently but soon I'll upload videos of bigger knives and other stuff.
@@aikabacrafttools9129 most welcome...its really pleasure to watch...
How does it qualify as a honyaki?
The traditional literal meaning of "fire forged" don't apply here, that's true. But it have a differential hardening with clay and a traditional polishing. Maybe I could only call it a "petty with a traditional polished hamon", but sounded weird and long...
Aikaba Craft & Tools agreed and fair enough. I’m seeing a lot more use of the term honyaki and it’s seems a little loose on the interpretations... nevertheless nice video and work. Cheers.
@@hsc3knives610 Thank you!
Цена?
7:55 I ththought we were making a knife and not a mirror?!
Well... a side effect of overpolishing haha
I can't even purchase those stones :( 4:50
Well, It's a matter of purchase little by little, there are other brands like king for example, more affordable and still good stones.
Why did you choose to grind the bevels post heat treatment and risk compromising the heat treatment?
Because if I did it before I would risk twisting the blade at the quench or even crack the blade. Also the oven has an oxidant atmosphere, so it always create a thin decarburized layer of steel that needs to be removed anyway.
Not sure I'd be sanding cocobolo without gloves.
Yes, I've recently discovered that can cause allergies, didn't know earlier. In my case I didn't have any reaction at all, but will use gloves in the future to avoid problems.
@@aikabacrafttools9129 Yes, it could be sensitization process. Best take precautions. btw how do I contact you to get a honyaki made?
@@haydnball990 You can send me a message to the email in the video description and ask me anything.

How can i order a petty from you?
Thank you for your interest! Please send me an email to aikaba.ct@gmail.com and we can talk about it.
9:58 A vos te parece desperdiciar toda esa madera para un solo cuchillo? con ese taco saco 2 empuñaduras como minimo, estoy totalmente indignado, con el derroche de materiales
Los tacos de madera son de 34x34mm y el mango final es de 18x22mm, aun con herramientas que me permitieran precisión milimetrica para separar el taco en dos partes perfectamente iguales no llegaria para dos mangos, y con el taladro de columna que tengo necesito dejar magenes de error en perforación, intento comprar tacos que se ajusten lo mejor posible al uso que voy a darles (la madera no es barata), pero no siempre hay las medidas que me gustaría...
水木源内芸
Бред! Honyaki-это технология и традиция, а не просто зонная закалка.
As a result, the knife does not even cut the cucumber, it is a failure ...
Wtf is your problem?
how this dark clay calls? ua-cam.com/video/pPIZwD8Tu1Y/v-deo.html
isnt the hamon way to high?
nice work though
Thank you, I made it high on purpose because i usually sharpen my knives with a low angle and I did't wanted to scratch the hamon area while resharpening later on, it was a bit experimental though.
62 hrc? sure XD
I just came
you're a craftist. is that a word?
I'm not really sure 😂

Excelente!
Que bonito cuchillo!!
Gracias!
