This step by step video shows the making of a trio of kiridashi style knives I made last year. I'd hoped they would be quick and easy, but getting the full bevel flat took a long time. The chisel style bevel on these knives makes them pretty incredibly sharp.
All of the tools used are pretty affordable and easy to use, so I feel like most people could follow along without investing too much money. Check my other videos to see how to make knives with only the most basic of tools though.
Most of the processes used I learned about on CZcams, and most of the materials used were bought from eBay. If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments and I'll get back to you

    I really appreciate the work you do and the information you are sharing. This is my only real criticism - when I see people using a hacksaw and only cutting in the middle of the saw blade instead of using the entire length of the blade - something my metal-work teacher in Sheffield taught me when I was about 12 years old. I don't mean to be an arse, it's just that even today, years later, I see people doing this all the time.

    What will happen if I don't heat it up like you do in the your homemade oven?

    • @PeterAdamsonKnives
      @PeterAdamsonKnives Před rokem

      it's a process called heat treating. it makes the steel much harder. If you don't do it, the steel will remain softer which means 1: it won't be able to get a very sharp edge 2: it will lose that edge quickly with use and 3: will dent and bend easier when knocked or dinged. it's an essential process for making a knife. There are usually places that will do it for you however if you can't/don't want to do it yourself. cheers

  • @LukasAusDE
    @LukasAusDE Před rokem

    You'll probably wont answer anyway, but the ebay link doesnt work anymore. How thick is the stock you used? Im using 2,8 and 3,5mm stock and having a real hard time getting the knife thin enough, especially if I just make a bevel like you and dont make a full flat grind

    • @PeterAdamsonKnives
      @PeterAdamsonKnives Před rokem

      hi, yes you're right, I would recommend using 2mm for knives with small bevels. I used 3mm on some smaller knives with smaller bevels, and i can get the bevel ok, but they're not great knives on account of being more choppy than cutty if that makes sense. 2mm is good for small knives in my opinion. In my video called "making steak knives", that is 2mm steel, and the "hunting knives" video is 3mm, but with a pretty full bevel. hope that helps

    Where do you get your steel from?

  • @marshallwilliamson315

    Is there a specific reason in terms of quality for not using power tools to cut? Not sure if you’re just trying to stay a little more old school or if it’s that you’re trying to avoid putting undue heat into the parts from a reciprocating saw or grinding wheel. Thanks!
