- Bit of an experiment. It worked but definitely improvements to be made.
Thanks for watching!

well done, great build, simple and to the point. one of the best I have watched to date! Thank you
That's a big santoku. Amazing job.
Absolutely beautiful!
Uffff!!! Love it!!! Beautiful!!! 😍💛🔪very nice job!!
Epic build... I have watched hundreds of hours of knife builds and this one got me excited to make knives again. Brilliant effort ..
The only thing better than your knife in this video is your humility. It’s a beautiful piece. I enjoyed watching you make it. Thank you
That’s the most badass hammer of any blacksmith video on RUclips.
Some people buy craftmanship while some people can create it. You are a creator. Well done
By God that's a gorgeous knife. The blade being diffrenct colors is so dam cool. Especially with mostly common equipment is astonishing. Can't wait to see what you gonna make next
I'd still be incredibly proud to use that knife in my kitchen!
I think it’s beautifully imperfect! I would love to have kitchen knives like this one.
Thank you kindly :)
Замечательная работа 👍
Отличная работа
Великолепно выполнен нож, с тщательно прокованное кромкой

Excellent work
So my 9 year old has told me he wants to be a black smith. I have him binge watching your early stuff. So he understands he doesn’t need all the fancy equipment to get started.
indeed. All one needs is the work ethic, a hammer, an anvil, some form of tongs and a heat source. though safety equipment always helps if used properly.
‘‘Tis true all I have is a hammer anvil charcoal forge tongs a 1x30 and an angle grinder and it works great u just gotta work hard
Better he binge the good stuff then fill his head with dreck. Slap some PPE gear on that kid, toss him some tongs and a hammer, stand him in front of an anvil and let him hammer some metal while being supervised by a bigger kid ( parent).
@@TheBottegaChannel I got an anvil and some tongs, we don’t really have a forge yet, as I don’t want to spend money on a forge until I see this isn’t a phase. But we got an old burn barrel I load up with wood and once it’s nice and hot he goes to town on some old wrenches I have or some rebar. He’s made couple prison shanks 😂 hopefully he loves this and keeps going.
No but still expensive tools
Классный нож !
Ножи сделанные по такой технологии ( по моему санмэй, не помню) , получаются очень прочными .👍
Beautiful cloud pattern
Brilliant work! Wonderful knife.
Can we take a moment to appreciate the editing of this video? Like we don't need to see it go in the forge every time, instead it's just red hot again as soon as the hammer lands, without missing a beat?
Omg thank you for noticing!
What a beautiful and painstaking process. Your skills are astonishing, as is the result of your labour. Really very nice! Nice to watch too!
Beautiful knife, and great video
I SEE WHAT YOU ARE SAYING ABOUT THE CORE BEING ONESIDED,YOU PROBABLY ARE A PERFECTIONIST.THAT CHOPPER IS STILL QUALITY,GOOD JOB.
Keep on going and you'll get the results you are after! Already doing very well!
Nicely done!
Knife be looking hella dope!
Looks great
I've never seen this technique done before and I think it looks amazing, even more impressed that this was drawn out by hand and not using a power hammer. Much respect and regards from here in the UK.
Thank you! I used to have access to power hammers. Working on building myself a press to save my shoulders haha.
Power hammers make power mistakes. That power hammer trend will fade away like everything else.
It's no problem to draw out steel, if you know your way around an anvil.
Great video, I like how you forged the whole thing, no angle grinder action. Turned out so good as well, nice pattern
Thank you very much.
Nice and fine work!
Function over form. Knife looks good.
Great video. The video was excellent as well.
I think it looks awesome!
Perfection is not always better!
Thank you! I never strive for perfection luckily ;)
So satisfying, the whole process taught me somethings.. like a life lessons
Glad to hear so!
nicee.. imagine one katana with this Warikomi technique how beautiful will be
Dude, that looks sick!!! Can’t wait for the next thing you create!
Thank you! got another one coming :)
For myself, I like the result. The blade, the handle ...
Beautiful work man. That's a difficult forge weld to pull off.
Thanks man. Yeah, mild steel doesn't help!
What's mild steel?
@Dom Brazzale it's steel with about 0.2% carbon, making it a low carbon steel. Because of the low carbon content, it's soft (for a steel) and also very flexible.
It's used in everything, cars, buildings, fencing. Anything that you see that's made of metal (and isn't aluminium or stainless) is probably going to be mild steel.
Beautiful
Brilliant work
Superb job sir, thank you for sharing 😄😄
great job i love it 👍👍✌
Nice job!
very nice well done!
I think that it came out beautifully great work
Thanks mate!
Excellent! I love the "blotchy " it looks like you somehow "faded" the high-carbon into it, with variations of opacity.
Красиво сделал, молодец👍
First time you tried this technique?
Amazing result!👍
Far from it. Made a lot of knives using Warikomi. Difference here is that I used mild steel instead of wrought. The dimiension of the starting material is also more tricky, thinner and taller, more tricky to get the high carbon steel centered.
Thanks for start uploading vids again. Your work is amazing. Congrats man
Thank you!
Wooow nice!!!
I still think you did a beautiful job with the knife. keep up the great work my friend.
Thank you!
Trabalho belíssimo e .muita perfeição e capricho gostei parabéns
still an excellent work of functional art, dude!
Thanks!
We're always so hard on our own work... it's a beautiful knife and anyone would be blessed to own it.
Blessed? Wrong word.
Thank you! Best way to get better :)
@@Arthurian. blessed, correct word
@@rvsbladesnthangs no, you are perverting what blessed means. Anyone with enough money will own it. That's not blessed, stop diluting blessings.
@@Arthurian. I'm so fortunate that you're wrong!

This looks a lot better than your giving yourself credit for my dude. Keep working
How thick and tall is the flat stock you use as the outer steel? I'm interested in doing warikomi but I don't know how thick and tall the outer steel needs to be :P Thank you for your videos, I appriciate them a lot!
How you like that old hickory forge hammer, I have 2 and I love them. John is awesome.
He's back!
That's a beautiful knife.
Thank you!
Veryj nice 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
VERY NICE
Awesome
DANG DUDE THAT A DOPE LOOKIN KNIFE "i love the profile picture"
Thank you!
Superb. Never be satisfied. 😁 I bash a bit of iron myself. Forge ahead.
I think it's beautiful... kinda looks like a storm over the ocean?
I Love your videos and working skills
I was watching you about the Skyrim Iron dagger, keep go on, it is very nice to see new projects !!!
Greetings from Germany
Thank you! I will. Greetings from the country above you ;)
Great job! I'm fascinated by knives and everything. I have a question, whats the effect of the glass cleaner in the knives?
nice work, by the first moment of you trying to spilt one side of the mild steel in half, i know you are gonna to do the forge wielding of laminated steel, and i like it, i like your way of laminated steel. i give a 👍for you, i don’t like others using tack welding then forging wielding. can you try the laminate steel and partial quenching for another blade please? thank you
Looks good
Muy bien hecho buen trabajo Te quedo muy bien 👍
Gracias!
Beau travail!
Merci!
hey not bad for a first go with the tools you've got! you don;t fishbone your tangs?
very nice
Normally, warikomi technique(割込み) is not used for thin knives such as kitchen knives. The reason is that the thickness of the skin steel and the edge steel are not uniform, and an oxide layer is formed on the forge-welded part, which makes it unsuitable for handling food because it is easy for various bacteria to grow. Therefore, knives are made with Sanmai(三枚合せ) or a single material.
I don't really understand your reasoning (I'd like to). Where do you have the information from that Warikomi isn't used for thin knives? or bacteria growth differing from warikomi to sanmai? The steel used are often the same, as well is the thickness. Thank you.
@@MakeNCreate I have already explained why. The oxide film is fragile, and food particles can get caught on it, making it easy for bacteria to grow. On the other hand, in the case of sanmai, the matrials can be forge-welded after the forge welded part is in a clean state, so the oxide film is less likely to occur. Anyone who knows the nature of iron oxide can understand it.
Frankly speaking, coocking knives don't need to be tough like weapons. Therefore, there is no need to create with warikomi technique.
@@Heuroya Ever heard of soap and warm water? It's pretty common practice for cleaning knives these days and is done after every cutting session. Seeing as you've failed to provide any sources for your claim I'm not buying it. IF it should, I refer you back to the question I posed at the start of this comment. Cheers!
@@MakeNCreate😂😂 soap.
@@MakeNCreate !NDEED
Great effort, and a worthy result. Thanks for the video and keep up the good work!
Thanks!
Good job
What type of mild steel are you using that's cracking? I've never had that happen.
Он- будет резать!!!😜👌
Especially nice results considering the hand tools! 🔥 I saw a normalizing cycle, oil quench and another cycle sitting in the forge but not the obligatory tempering cycle, did I miss it?
Thank you! Tempering is at 8:43
Lost his temper . 🤣
Well done for basic equipment friend. I like your knife and handle also. I'm a beginner also. I've made one knife from a 13mm gear wrench but I'm missing the most important piece of equipment which is an anvil. I have a crappy forge but I think it's junk. I tried it once and it didn't work well
Best of luck next time buddy. Thank you!
@@MakeNCreate i will not give up! Thank you and thanks for replying.
Seems like you are back up to speed again :)
I like a big broad knife like this for chopping veggies, esp. onions
Trying to be, thanks mate!
Hello fellow knife maker, the contribution of your video is excellent, I would like to ask you a question that I did not know how to find an answer to.
Did you use stainless steel with a high carbon core, or low carbon steel with a high carbon core?
And if it is possible to specify the steels, I would appreciate it.
Your work excelent.
Thank you so much.
Mild steel for the jacket and w2 for the edge. Thank you.
Технология супер,как и сам нож.🔥👍
Hey. Isn't improving the best part though? Amazing as always.
indeed it is. Thank you!
very good
Awesome!!! Just curious, what are the two types of steel you used?
W2 and mild steel. Thank you!
I love the blade. I do have a question. Why did you glue the handle on with tape around the tang then knock it off and glue it on again? I have never seen this done that way before and I was just curious why the extra step?
Thank you! It's called bedding the tang. I do it so I get a cast of the tang in the handle. Makes it easier to shape that handle as the knife will sit the same way every time. Also makes glue up easier with all the individual parts. I'll know they're seated where they're supposed to. Hope that answers your question.
@@MakeNCreate Thanks for your reply, I will give that a try on the set of butcher knives I am working on. 😃
Hey, are you selling these?!!! Bought a knife from you a couple years ago and asked about Nikiri styles like this.
warikomi technique is not a correct name for this forging , the correct name is 'tingling balls technique' 1:55 :) , beautifuly crafted knife
What powder to sprinkle when blending iron
I'm confused about one thing: you forged and shaped two pieces that you then combined into one piece, as shown around 03:15, but it doesn't look like you use them in the final product. What happened to them?
Muito bom
İt is great job. I want to learn what is that powder.
Thank you! It's borax. It melts and creates an oxygen barrier as well as cleaning the steel. Basically makes forge welding easier.
Quá chuẩn
Niiiiice! Did you leave Quebec? Are you back in Denmark? I lost track of your channel there for a bit
Back in Denmark yes. Thanks!
👍👍😘😘
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Bello
Forgive my ignorance but is this “warikomi” technique the same as San mai?
Nope. Warikomi the ''jacket'' fold around the steel as the high carbon is inserted into a lot instead of being sandwiched in between to seperate pieces. Cheers! :)
@@MakeNCreate it's the low carbon jacket that's diagonally cut to allow the insertion of high carbon edge underneath, yes?
whats the type of steel that u used as blade?
Mild steel and w2
2:15 where did the glow go?
