A trick I saw to ensure that your sandpaper doesn't break when you're doing things like sanding the spine of the knife is to back it with duct tape or gorilla tape. Something that's strong and flexible, but fiber reinforced.

Thanks for the tip, going to try that this weekend!

Just here to say that you technically made an usuba, not a nakiri. Usubas are single bevel, nakiri are double bevel. Also, the S-grind is really interesting, but part of the reason you may be getting trouble with your cuts on soft foods is because the flat side of the blade is typically hollow ground while the bevelled side is flat, allowing you to sharpen the edge to a finer point and preventing food from sticking on that side of the knife.

I saw the flaw when he was cutting the tomatoes like when you’re knife is running out sharp

This is the best kind of feedback. Correct and not condescending or anything. What's a knife like this retail for? It's such a niche thing I wouldn't even be able to hazard a guess, but I'd suppose, a lot?

@@jerod5636 Decent Usubas can easily go for at least $200 USD, if not much more depending on the maker, steel, materials, size, and any decorative patterning/style they put into the handle or blade. However, the premium in price also is influenced by demand, because the average home cook does not need an usuba and is better equipped with a nakiri and therefore they are targeted more for professional use. A nakiri is typically a bit more approachable in price, and better suited for a variety of tasks because the double bevel prevents steering in cuts and is a bit stronger for those who may not be as careful with their knives. Both are thin blades, but generally nakiri are a bit easier to keep from chipping due to the geometry of the bevels leaving more material to support the edge against damage.

@@jerod5636 -- Not very expensive. If one is a $20 knife every 3years kinda guy then yeah a Nakiri can be "expensive". You can get a Nakiri made of cheap steel for about $40ish. However, a good quality Shun Nakiri can run you from $125 on up. Edit: I did not see @BrandonKaye's response before I commented, but I suppose same sentiment different words. ;)

And this is why I watch other makers.... been making knives and sayas for quite some time and never thought to grind the handle and the saya down together, brilliant idea!

Awesome design. I think the sharpening technique could be greatly improved. As hard as that blade is, It should cut those tomatoes with no horizontal movement

Beautiful matched set for the knife and scabbard, hardly tell where one ends and the other begins. Nicely done sir very nicely done indeed, remember Texas is watching.

Have to say that I just came across your channel. It is very amazing to watch what you do. I don't have those skills, yet, but I will try and work on them in the future when I can get a workshop. Thank you for the content that I can sit and watch. Please continue.

that tang technique was really cool and clever. I will have to give that go.

i was just wondering if it would spin around being circular? I suppose it doesn't matter for a kitchen knife too much, but wouldn't a decent knock spin the blade a bit? Or do you think the friction will hold it?

@@TheEthanEdge Theoretically yes it could spin if it got knocked around enough a couple of ways to fix it if it ever did spin is when you put it together put a little bit of epoxy in the hole or the other way is you could put a single pin right towards the top of the handle to keep it from spinning

Finally done goofing around with shop machines and back to doing what we all love to see! It looks amazing, thanks for sharing!

Can we all just take a moment for that hollow grind? Just spectacular! 👏👏👏

Great job. Nothing superfluous. In the style of Japan. You are a real master. Thanks!

Wonderful woodworking and knife-making as usual! I love the aesthetic you went for with the blade!

Grande capacidade. É muito bom conhecer as aptidões humanas. Parabéns!

Not super flashy and pretty but completely utilitarian BRILLIANT!!!!.....I want one now 🤔

Always great looking work and learning a lot thanks for all the shows and Gods blessings for you and all your family

Very satisfying how the handle fits to the case you made for the blade.

Funny how I was just watching one of his other videos and then I got a notification for this video like can this day get any better

As someone who has worked with his hands 40 years I have to say your level of skill is exceptional……a true artisan..!!

I really, really like that centred hollow grind! It looks really good

every time you make something unique. well done man

Very nice and again, a handle that isn't awful. I'm proud of you.

Excellent! I really like those extensions you made for your vise. Well done, sir.

Pure craftmanship, excellent job

Perfect gift for a chef.

Another great blade from the man himself :) awesome choice of blade grind, style and sheath wood!

The way you attached the handle to the tang is very clever, I’ve never seen that before. I like it

Awesome craftmanship as always. And thanks for the amazing ideas.

This may be my favorite thing I've seen you make. It's very beautiful and very practical. I especially like the simplicity of the sheath and how well it matches the handle, and I love the walnut. Gorgeous!

Beautiful and Wonderful work. I suggest when cutting food that when you need to move it across your board you flip your blade and push it with the spine of the blade so that you don't risk any damage to your blade. You always do such wonderful work! Thank you so much for sharing.

Truly amazing. Excellent workmanship.

Beautiful blade and great job on that grind. Every time I try to forge a thin blade it warps no matter how careful I try to be. I only have a charcoal forge and quench when it looses magnetism and color. Love that kiln of yours.

Beautiful knife! I would be proud to have that in my kitchen!

Perfekt build. Id love to get this for my kitchen. Please make a small line of these

What a great video and such a beautiful knife and furniture. Thanks

Wow, you put a lot of effort into making this this is awesome! I enjoy it!

I'm usually not a fan of one-sided grinds, but this one is perfect!

Finalmente un coltello da cucina , bravo!

Dude that dowell tang was genius! I’m going to do that on a kitchen knife I have on the back burner!

I always love everything you make.

that came out, very well... awesome work!

Awesome project, I am really enjoying your builds, glad that I found your channel.

beautiful brother beautiful!

I always look forward to any videos you upload!

Очень оригинальный кухонный нож. Изгиб лезвия - интересная идея. Захотелось и себе такой.

I’d like a custom Grundle Trimmer or straight razor. This is great too

i love this type of weird sandings

Good looking knife and well made. Just a couple of points: when drilling stainless steel, better to run the drill very slow, keep even pressure on the drill and don't lift off the surface until you are through the metal, and, always use a good quality cutting oil. When you lift off the surface when drilling, the surface work hardens very quickly.

I’ve never seen an s-grind single bevel, but I guess it works! Good job

The click we hear when you close it is so satisfying. Good work!

I really like the asymmetrical grind; bet it makes keeping an edge much easier.

I'm confounded. I see 966 people gave this thumbs down. Why, it's beautifully designed and engineered. Great job.
