The Yakut Knife Making Process
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 сер 2023
- The Yakutian knife is globally known for its exceptional durability, sharpness, and multifunctional versatility, with a design unlike any other blade in the world. The origin of the knife is closely tied to the nomadic lifestyle and the harsh, cold environment of the region. It’s often serves every family for generations, becoming an enduring symbol of tradition and craftsmanship.

Every craftsman is deserved to get full respect. They are putting huge effort into their works.
yes 😊
@@KiunBis it possible to buy knives on your website ? If it is would you please let us know thank ! 🙏🏻
@@KiunB I DESPERATELY WOULD LOVE TO HAVE ONE OF YOUR KNIVES IF POSSIBLE
As a Japanese, it’s interesting to see such craftsmanship from another culture. Japanese knives may not be multi-functional but each type of knife is made to be suited for specific purpose. Forging and grinding of knives are passed down from generations to generations just like Yakutian tradition.
The perfectionism that the Japanese are known to strive for can be achieved by those who specialize. Thus all the various specialist knife or blade wielders having tools designed to do one thing as perfectly optimal as possible, seems befitting of this attitude.
yakuts are altaic like japans
@@nezircaglar2381 Altaic is a classification that isn't used anymore as it's not true. The Japanese are Japonic
Old Chinese records on Turkic people always comment on their superior metal skills, which is interesting for a nomadic people because they need to be close to iron ore deposits. In Japan, places like BIZEN (備前) became famous for their swords because iron sand was common in the Izumo region.
The Gokturks (突厥) were recorded as the 「鍛鉄奴隷」or the "Iron-making serfs/slaves" of the Mongolic Rouran Khaganate (柔然). The various Turkic people living in/around their traditional homeland in the Altai Mountains to the Lake Baikal region are also known for their unique metal works even today. The Turkic/Mongolic metal musical instruments are very unique too. (Yakuts are Turkic tribes who were pushed out of the Lake Baikal region during the Mongol expansion in the 13th century.)
Superior metal works most likely helped the Turkic nomads in everything from weapons, armor, helmets, and horse-riding. It's probably one of the reasons why Turkic nomadic tribes like the Huns, Avars, Bulgars, or Khazars, where able to reach and rule modern-day Hungary, Romania, Ukraine, Southern Russia by the 5th and 6th century. The Cossack swords, bows, clothing, dances, and hairstyle have Tatar/Turkic/Mongolic influence. (Cossack is also a Turkic word.)
Drop the word yakut or yakutia and forget you ever heard thos words and call people who made knife in video Sakha by their true name and that knife sakha hunting knife if you really respect them.
I have seen so many sellers just selling the shape but this video shows exactly how it is made...I would like to buy one from him ASAP
I'd love to purchase one too.... How can we do that?
Me too, I want to buy one from him
hehe, yes, i just wrote it in the comment below, and then read yours
Id like one as well! Any links?
As a Canadian hunter, fisherman, I would make a lot of use of a knife like this. Where do I buy one!
Based on your video if there was a way to order Mikhail's knives he would probably be kept busy for a year with just the demand. There is much to be said for good "working" knives; tools for everyday use. Several have already said they would like one, as would I. Thank you for bringing Mikhail's story to us. Your stories about Yakutia are wonderfully done. We appreciate how you share with the world this interesting and beautiful life
Hi Kiun B! We're 3 metis brothers, French-Korean, and we are traveling from France to Korea by car! We dreamt to go to Yakutia one day, and this dream came true... We are nowadays in Yakutia, we will go soon in deep countryside to meet reindeer people ☀️ We'd love to meet you guys!
And if there is any Sakha reading us don't hesitate to contact us 😁
Enjoy your travels! ❤
@@neva.2764 thank you 🙏
Wow! How great that you get to even visit! I can't yet due to border closures with the US from the war in Ukraine. But I have hope this situation won't last long. 🙏
Talk about crying for attention.
Так и не пришли в Якутию
Thanks Kiun for the upload. He is a very skilled knife maker. You can see he's passionate about his craft. Thank you again for the coverage. Until next time, all the very best.
🙏🏻
@@KiunBkiun where i can buy the knife? I live outside russia
Clever Yakutian people.
Your english narration is wonderful. I could listen to you for hours. 😊
Thank you! 😃
Watching this dude do an oil quench with no gloves was like *chefs kiss*. What a bad ass.
한국의 중세 봉건제 국가인 조선시대의 호신용 단검인 은장도와 비슷하게 생긴 단검이라 멋있다!
It's cool because it looks similar to the silver decorated knife, a self-defense dagger from the Joseon Dynasty, a medieval feudal country in Korea!
Thank you Mikhail for sharing your skilled trade with this audience. You are an impressive craftsman. ✌
This is so amazing for me to see. My great grandfather was a Yakutian knife maker, although this tradition was broken after his generation, with the family coming to canada, and the next generations becoming more and more disconnected from the culture. So many beautiful blades that he made are in posession of family on my mother's side. I've always admired them and their craftmanship, and wished I knew more about how he made them. He passed away when I was very little, and I never knew much about his life or work... there were also some language barriers while he was still alive.
Thank you so much for what you do, documenting and sharing all of this. It is wonderful being able to see so many parts of Yakutia.
It’s nice to see that still people like making stuff with their hands . Great video as always watching from the U.K.
I normally make stuff with my hands too. It’s quite common.
I think the future will be a real nightmare. All the skills to survive and to manage yourself are lost. When power, internet and apps collapse, what will you do?
You are not alone, and no different... I just had to comment... Best of wishes
PS. There is a film By Northmen called Grandfather, I recommend it, not so long ago but o so different!
Thank you for recommending this to me I will have a look . Sorry for the delay in responding to your message . Take care and stay safe all
@@Onionbaronякуты Саха выживут, не волнуйтесь 🤲👌
Bought a Yakut style knife from a Russian company. Absolutely love it, I’ll keep an eye out for this guy’s work.
Love from India 🇮🇳.....You guys are inspiration ❤️
Kiun, thank you for the wonderful writing and narration in all your videos. Your voice is like music, and you present such interesting topics. The rest of the production crew does a great job as well. Can't wait to see more of Yakutia
that handle is not birch bark, it is birch wood.
Bark handles are made from multiple layers of stacked bark glued together, this takes a lot longer to make. they are very durable and beautiful a lot of finnish puukko have that kind of handle.
I'm guessing it can be also made with birch bark like in Finnish puukko... Whole thing reminds me mix of Finnish puukko and Japanese hunting knife with the hollow spine
Hi, I'm from Indonesia, Indonesia only has rainy and hot seasons.
I really like watching Kiun B's channel which I usually watch before going to sleep.
Thank You
Thank you! ☺️
Eh ketemu org indo juga, halo bg, gw juga tertarik ma cenel ini dgn alasan yg sama
Gw baca nama abang faris, kayak sodara gw
Super interesting as always - how else would most of us learn something about these crafts and methods from this part of the world? Thanks for another video! 😊
Man these knives are so cool. I love how they don't look like a typical knife. That middle stretch that was hammered into the knife gives it a uniqueness that is unlike any other
Beautiful work - thanks for filming this and sharing
Another wonderful video about wonderful people.
Thank you, Kiun B. for your portrayal of life in Yakutia. 🙏
thank you 🙏🏻
It amazes me how blacksmiths in other countries make there knives and other things using the same principles but they have there own traditions to make knives. It's truly a work of functional art. I would gladly pay 100 for one his knives. So many things can be done with it. A multi purpose tool. Thank you
Восхищаюсь такими людьми как Михаил,делают свою любимую работу с удовольствием и вкладывают всего себя! Спасибо KiunB за прекрасный и позновательный видеоролик.👍🏻
🙏🏻
@@KiunB sir I was mesmerized as she forged that knife and I live in the United States. Is there any possible way that I could purchase one of your knives?
Thanks for another amazing and knowledgeable video Kiun. Love the passion Mikhail shows when demonstrating his craftsmanship.
Thanks again!
Beautiful knife and beautiful people!!!! Iam a blacksmith in the states i do not make knives i make orher functional things such as hooks, brackets,etc....
Blacksmithing is universal!!
Love your content!!!
Thank you for sharing as always an amazing insight to your daily lives and a wonderful video as always! many thanks
Outstanding video! Thank you for sharing this skill.
I bought a yakut knife a few months ago and I've skinned 3 deer with it so far and I've got to say I really like it, easy to clean and sharpen and the big handle works well with gloves
Thank you for sharing with us!
Outstanding workmanship 👍👍
Thank you for sharing the video. I really appreciate it, and keep it going.👍
I really enjoy the work you have shared to provide these videos. An amazing craftsman. I’m watching from the West Coast of Vancouver Island, Canada.
This was so awesome!! Thank you for sharing
Your film making skills are truly incredible.
thank you 🙏🏻
the handle in this case specifically and traditionally for Yakut knives is made not from birch bark but from birch burl, the wood, prior to it being pinned on the knife is boiled in fat, to prevent it from splitting
Quel magnifique travail, la main de l'homme dépasse la machine, bravo à cette homme !!
thanks for another great video
That's a great looking knife. True craftsmanship and a quality build. I wouldn't mine owning a few of these.
Greetings from Maine, USA! Beautiful knife making skills.... Thank you for sharing!
I was honestly mesmerized by him making that knife from scratch AND using the same knife to make the sheath.. amazing! I would love to buy one of them❤
Amazing job Mikhail
Welcome back! we missed you!
thank you ❤
*YES - IT WAS ON UA-cam* and we enjoyed watching you...!!!
Knife is the most universal tool of them all. This is really practical art. Honest and straight forward. Really nice. It reminds me of the Japanese deba fish butchery knives what with the sturdy spine. I would like to have one made by him in the size shown for fishing and cutting a willow stringer out in the field. Cleaning the fish and building the cook fire. And just to admire simple beauty reminded of where it came from and how. Good show about a genuine craftsman master. Fabulous view into a different world apart; worth remembering.
Respect for the craftsman making such a simple and usefull tool.
Omg, I love your videos. Please make more of daily life in yakutia and the children going to school. I love those!
What a Awesome video.THANK YOU.
Wow! Amazing work and effort has been put into making this video. Now I am intriuged, Where can I buy one of these masterpieces?
The shape itself is also really good I've tried it with mild steel and it is the shape that makes mild steel work for knives
Thanks for showing us this amazing craftsmanship, and for the upload. Enjoy watching the beautiful traditions and people of Yakutia. 🙏❤🌟✌

hiç bilmiyordum, emeklerinize sağlık
kiun, thx for ur video!
best regards from Indonesia!
Beautiful culture - thank you for sharing it with us 💕
Glad you enjoyed it 💛
I've seen other yakutian homes, not enough to consider myself an expert or anything. However, this is by far the nicest I have seen. Looks like a middle class home in the US
wow! love it
You present yakutsk in such a way that despite its weather i would love to live there.
thanks for sharing
That is a gorgeous blade. I always wanted a single bevel knife. Wish i could order from here.
Nice! Thanks for sharing it. From Sao Paulo - Brasil.
I was a student of this man, Mikhail, for several years. In the same forge, he taught me and my friends how to forge and sharpen knives. He was a funny guy actually, I miss those days 😅
Wonderful video.
what beautiful craftsmanship! Thanks for sharing
thank you 🙏🏻
So beautiful
amazing!!!
Bela faca, que haja mais artistas assim.
Already know about these knives, but I'm learning more about them and now I want one.
Nice Lots of Love from India.
Witam nóż przepiękny wielki talent dziękuję pozdrawiam serdecznie 🤗❤️🙌
Beautiful scenery
yo that's my uncle 😊
Really? Is he teaching his children this craftsmanship too?
This is more art than science. Rather than using precision measurements, the hand crafted knife is created based on the craftsman's eye and experience.
The fuller reduces weight and the amount of metal used, which was precious at one time and not to be wasted.
Japanese knives tend to very, very specialized. They would probably do better in their designed task. However, the Yakut knife looks like a very capable "do it all" knife.
❤ this!
