Very great technique and skills sets and dedication towards the making of this beautifully finished gyuto handle . Just have a few questions as I am making my own gyuto handles What thickness of silver have you used? What size drill bits have you used ? What is the name of the glue you used ? If I don't have a buffer machine can I do it by hand with a buffer cloth ?

@aikabacrafttools9129

4 жыл бұрын

Thank you for that kind words! The silver is about 3mm thick. The big drill bit was 10mm in this case but, it should be the closest to the size of your knife tang. The small bit was 2mm if I remember correctly, It should be the same size or thiner as the thicknes of your blade in the start. The glue is Araldite epoxy, the brand is Ceys, in this case is 1 hour epoxy. It's dificult to achive that shine by hand, but you can use a buffing wheel attached to a drill, it's cheap and works well. I've used that until a year ago or so (about minute 12:10): kzread.info/dash/bejne/ooR9vNl9aLfbYbw.html Hope that helps you, good luck with your handles.

Жыл бұрын

Thank you! haha it's the third law of Newton, action and reaction, If an object "A" exerts a force on object "B", then object "B" must exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on object "A". So... when I hit the handle with the mallet the handle itself exerts a force on the blade and the blade exert an equal force back to the handle, and that's why it goes in.

Anyway it's a mix of lindseed oil and beewax and I think around 50/50 of each one, put them in an old cooking pot with low heat or even in a water bath (because hot linseed oil can get on fire) and stir until both are well mixed. If the mix is too hard once it's cool you can always warm up again and ad more oil until the texture is right for you.

I suppose it can be explained by the third law of newton, "When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body". So, when you hit the handle with the hammer, it creates a force in the direction of the blade and the blade reacts simultaneously with another force but in the directión of the handle, that way the tang is pushed into the handle. Hope I make any sense. Also I have a video where I show how to make this hammer or maul: kzread.info/dash/bejne/anh5q8l9kraZhcY.html.
