Knifemaking: the Kiridashi Knife

Want to know how knives are made? Today I go through the process of making a kiridashi knife. You will see all of the steps, from the initial cutout of the blade profile, to grinding the edge, to heat treating, and final polish of the knife. Interested in making your own Japanese utility knife? This is how I made mine.
