Knife Making | The Karnivore - Making a BBQ Knife Styled After a K-Tip Gyuto

Knife Making | The Karnivore - Making a BBQ Knife Styled After a K-Tip Gyuto
In this video I make a large BBQ knife styled after a K-tip Gyuto. I used a leaf spring that I assume is 5160 spring steel. The handle is made of monkeypod wood. I didn’t have spacer material thick enough for what I wanted, so I experimented with using leftover Kydex as a spacer. Step by step knife making process.

That is absolutely gorgeous. As a chef for 19 years I really appreciate seeing tools made that I would use on a daily basis. I would love to have that knife.

[@ItsKrispyKev]

@@cthulhu_lives8169 Could just be for a collection.

[@cthulhu_lives8169]

@kevinarnold4795 I was responding to the OP, he said he would like it for daily use. That's a bad idea for a professional chef. He might as well buy a white handle Dexter Russell sani-safe, well this will hold an edge better than that... lol

[@MrAcuta73]

@@cthulhu_lives8169 Dexter might be good for a line cook....but that edge will never be as sharp and much harder to clean up when it dulls. So no....crap cheap knives are not good...beyond lasting a long time. Which is fine if that is all you want. But you can get that from any cheap blade. And with Dexter, you really need to reset the bevel to be worth a crap to begin with.

[@cthulhu_lives8169]

@@MrAcuta73 lmao You should learn to read...

[@panedrop]

@@cthulhu_lives8169 Dexter Russel, Mercer, et al. are great for beginner cooks. I highly recommend them for people with little to no skill, who are just starting out but some of us are way beyond that, we produce food that is elevated and want to work with tools that reflect that. This knife is a robust slicer and it is a work of art. I, like @andresapodaca8853, would love to have one. You clearly just don't have the knowledge and/or skill and/or experience to be speaking to this issue, so go somewhere else to criticize someone who is complimenting the maker, maybe 4chan or something?

[@elmerruiz3505]

Never have I ever seen a knife with this much character. The rough on the blade is perfect. The work on the handle is impeccable. It would be very fair to call this a master piece and a power object. Really amazing.

[@timtitus2532]

Outstanding, best use of 5160 I've seen in years. A masterpiece. Thanks for sharing this with everyone.

[@axemanmike4390]

SIMPLY ELEGANT! BEAUTIFUL WORK! Thanks for sharing!

Some interesting methods being used. Thanks for sharing this beauty.

[@Concreto1984]

A work of art; gorgeous knife and great video!

[@user-tn5wm2tm1t]

What really impresses me is the precision with which you can sand such a large sloping surface freehand and without any angle help. Amazing work and beautiful knife.

[@srihimanshumouligarimella7029]

love the camera work and different angles that you show. really helps

[@firedustman]

this shape is great and the work on the wood match perfectly with the blade ton, great job !

Bravo beautiful craftsmanship watching the process brings me peace

Great video and what a blade! You really have made a masterpiece here!

Your work and videography is just a pleasure to watch. I am very grateful you gave such detail in every step. This something I have a serious desire to attempt. I think your video did the job and pushed me over the edge.... Thank you. Cheers Greg

[@goofsaddggkle7351]

That moment you gripped it in your hand and the handle was just the perfect proportion and fit….kind of gave me chills

[@JohnWick-lh9gn]

Ive seen a lot of knife makers but your channel is different. Very smart and well executed.

[@Wolverine6617]

Finally someone did something different. I love it.

[@Runningcheetah1]

Awesome edit on showing the normalizing cycles and the heat treat. Very creative and spot on!

[@angrypineappleknives]

Thank you very much!

[@repp181]

watching you craft this knife was absolutely fascinating

[@skullworks]

The hidden pins are great!

[@jackdorsey4850]

It's good to see we still have craftsmen who can produce this level of work by hand

[@angrypineappleknives]

Thanks, that means a lot!

[@Badula_n_his_brother]

What kind of job? cut a knife out of a spring? completely without forging, without arranging different steels? O-Lord, he even hardened the entire knife, although the spine should be left softer and the heat increased for the blade. If someone cannot cut a knife from a sheet of steel, then I don’t know what’s easier.

[@jstenoien]

​​@@Badula_n_his_brotherYou were so close to looking like you kind of maybe knew something about knife making.

What an awesome knife, I love the attention to detail and precision that you use when making a blade. Great video

[@Matt-my7pz]

That is incredible skill! I love the precision used to keep everything symmetrical. That knife is badass, one of the most amazing and shocking designs and without Damascus. The cherry on top was the bread and brisket at the end. Wanted some so much!!
