  • Making a fine cutting tool out of cheap materials and scrap pieces, using many of my homemade tools and jigs and various vintage equipment I restored in videos during my years on RUclips!
    I forgot to measure the end product on camera so here are the specs:
    The blade ended up 145mm long and 45mm at the widest. Overall lentght 255mm, thickness tapered from 3.5mm to zero. Steel is 1070 (aka C70) high carbon steel, differentially heat treated with edge hardness between 50 and 55 Rockwell.
    Handle is made of tabilized okumè and olive burl wood, with red (and a line of grey) felt liners, fixed to the tang just by friction in a japanese traditional way with split dowel.
    Here are some of the videos where I go in more details about some of the tecniques used in this video:

      nice to see your hammer holding improved, i'd suggest a slightly heavier hammer and a slightly looser grip so your hand lasts longer than till the age of 45

    I initially thought that you were one of those channels that artificially age and rust stuff just so you could have a restoration project, but seeing how you have actual forging skill, it seems I was wrong. Your work is legit.

    Hi, I am writing through Google a translator from Russian. Please add a spring of small force to the upper stem so that it pulls down. When you hit with a hammer, the rod will not bounce up. You will be comfortable.

      heirloom tomatoes are way yummier than your regular cheapo beefsteak tomatoes.
      but never put it in the fridge, cuse even 10 mins in the fridge causes tomatoes to rapidly lose their volatile compounds responsible for their flavor, making them bland and gross.

  • @jaquigreenlees
    @jaquigreenlees 4 года назад +1

    After spending most of my life working in kitchen, a knife that had ANY blacking on the blade would be thrown to the dish-pit to be gotten clean. Public Health would be on any restaurant until it was "back" to the shine of stainless steel so it doesn't look like food poisoning waiting to happen.
    ( there is a reason for stainless steel knives )
    The notch in the blade just gives me a twitch about how this blade was badly damaged and not properly repaired.
    The shifting of the tang from flat with the back of the blade removes many of the most common cutting techniques from the table. The leverage from the back of the blade alignment truly speeds up a lot of cutting tasks ( which is also why most chef's knives have a curved cutting edge ).
    As a knife for display, great, looks fantastic.
