  • The making of a Damascus steel Nakiri chef knife from start to finish. A nakiri is primarly used to process vegtables. The steel used was 1095/15n20 of approximately 83 layers. The steel was fully DET annealed in the kiln before heat treating and tempered after quenching. Thanks for watching!

    I'm mostly impressed with those freehand skills with that angle grinder. Those pyramids are spot on like it was made with a robot.

      @Rosewayforge 2 дня назад +1

      Do it. I started with only 40 bucks in tools. A rail road track ( or any large bit of steel to forge on. Or even a tree stump) a pipe, a hair dryer and a bit of wood. Oh and an angle grinder makes things easier.

  • @ThatWorks
    @ThatWorks День назад

    Really cool! I've tried it the other way around. Forging the pyramids and grinding flat. Cool to see it done this way. The pattern would have carried through if you forged the bevels even a little bit, but it looks great breaking up the pattern toward the edge.

    What a beautiful knife you've created. But beyond beauty which is just an object pleasing to the eye, this tool goes beyond its looks and is a proper cutting implement that if taken care of will be in service for a very very long time into the future long beyond our own lives.
    I would be proud to own and use that knife or any knife created by you.
