Turn A 2€ Rusty Knife Into High-End Japanese Chef's Knife
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
I found this big knife at a local flea market in a bucket of "everything 2€" miscellaneous items. I bought it with the intent of lightly restoring it but after a close inspection I thought I was better off doing something more interesting with it since the construction was pretty bad, with un-even grinds, terrible pins and poor materials. After removing the rust I could also tell it has pretty much no historical value since it has no marking at all.
So here we go! In this video I go through the entire process of turning it into a better looking (and better performing of course) chef's knife.
The design is pretty close to a kiritsuke, but it's much bigger than most measuring 43cm (17inch) overall with 30cm (12inch) blade 6.5cm (2.6inch) wide and 2.5mm (0.1inch) thick.
I tried to develop an hamon on the blade for aesthetic reason but without success, maybe the steel is not prone to show it since the harness is definitely different from spine to edge before and after tempering. Or maybe some other reason, I didn't wanted to spend the time to figure that out anyway. I had also another issue with the heat treatment where the refractory cement expanded and got stuck in the blade holder inside the oven, I had to quench everything... Yeah... That wasn't pretty at all!
The handle is made of iroko and ebony wood, with a mild stainless steel guard and some red felt and white paper liners, the process of making the spacers is better described in this video:
• Felt And Resin Liner /...

As I understand it, the purpose is for the goo/clay/cement stuff to shield the spine during the quench so that the edge can get hard without the spine getting brittle. The resulting visual effect of this is called a hamon, I believe. The clay won't stick to the blade as is so that's why you wrap the blade in wire; to give the clay something to hold on to.

The time you spent hand filing the slot, you could have got a cheap file blade, cut the back end of it into a tang that fit into a sawzall and filed the slot out. The whole process would have taken about ten minutes and then you'd still have the file blade for next time.

Great Job man. while watching you put it together more than a couple times i was wondering where I was going to be able to source the miscellaneous parts. So I was glad to see you have an online store front. I think a kiln would be my first investment. I could go digital like you, or a propane home made style first to test the "water" its all in what I want out of a finial product from there. thanks for the great vid. liked and shared.
what i love about this channel that isn't like other channels is that this guy doesn't spend 5 minutes showing you every angle possible of the knife. thank you

not all Japanese chefs knives are single bevel ... in fact thats a feature one only a few very specific knives the majority are a dual bevel convex grind this is mostly due to the habit of using laminated steel due to their poor quality ore so the majority of their traditional blades are san mai or greater so only the core steel is hardened with mild steel jackets thus dual beveled

"There's an issue here. There is no physical connection between the blade and the handle, it's only glued. That is why it would be unsafe to hammer your blade against a 600 lb block of sheer lead. Thus I invite you to shake your opponents hand and then ask you to leave the forge."

you have no idea how much I regret not watching this video when it was first recommended. Back when KZread suggested this video I was making a lawnmower blade knife and I wanted to try differential hardening on the blade. My improvised plaster of paris method did not give the result I was looking for. Well, it can cut stuff at least... what you did with wire and clay looked so much more elegant. I had trouble getting clay to stay on while heating.
I love seeing your knife restorations. Always satisfying seeing the final product. Nice work!

You did a good job, you made the tang so skinny, and I wouldn't call high end, but a it's nice looking, you worked hard
Really want to learn this skill. It's awesome
I really feel that you messed up the tang making it so thin. Hope it don’t snap at the handle when ya use it.

He used a differential heat to make the spine soft and the cutting edge hard. Considering 99% of chefs knives out there don't do that I'd call that high end.

@@Bennowolf21 Clay on a hot knife keeps the metal from touching the water in the quench. The speed of the cooling is what makes different crystals in the steel. It's not as effective as heating the edge directly but it's a proven method.
amazing video , amazing knife , amazing man . thank you for this video .
Excelente trabajo amigo, me encantó la técnica del mango. saludos.
I'm pretty sure a "high-end" Japanese Chef's knife wouldn't struggle even a little bit to get through a cantaloupe skin!

@Leopards 2334 What exactly was "hateful shit? Really, you labeling anybody's opinion you don't agree with as "hateful shit", really was the only hateful comment I see.
I love what you do, and I enjoy watching your videos. But this title is very misleading. In order to make it a real high end knife you need to know precisely what steel the blade is made of in order to have the right procedure for heat treatment. You can't just take any random sheap old knife, clean it up, arbitrarily hardening and quenching (and giving it a differential hardening) without some sort of hardness testing, i.e. a rockwell hardness tester at best or at least tester files. And then put on some bolster, liners, fancy woods handle and call it a high-end Japanese chef knife (not even calling it a Japanese-STYLE kitchen knife). 😅 Don't get me wrong. I love the work you put into it! But it's important to be clear on what really goes into a knife in order to call it high-end, and even a Japanese chef knife for that matter. Please don't take offense! Anyways, love your videos. Keep it up!

what are you buying when you buy a high end japanese knife? quality steel a proper grind / knife shape, and a good handle. but then what is this? some time of steel alloy, with a pretty well done flat grind (no hollow grind) a ridiculous blade shape, a handle with the tinyiest tang. though it is pretty. it looks okay, but then he gets to the part where he's cutting a tomato and, i'm just shaking my head, why do you need a like half a pound of steel to cut a tomato. where is the clip of him slaughter a pig.
