I made this Kiridashi

[@FearsomeWarrior]

Beautiful. Saw your post on Reddit randomly. Was already subscribed and enjoyed this one. My favorite design is just like this but with the half circle cut out behind the blade on the bottom edge. It has always stuck with me as a impactful design. Seeing you heat the blade without a investment in a small forge or thousand dollar heat treating box. Makes it much more in reach for a guy like me.

[@bullygram]

Using inexpensive hand tools to create something awesome is very nice!

[@andrejohnson6731]

0:16 I think you mean “annealed” which is to soften, instead of “normalized" which is to stabilize the grain structure within the steel and eliminate some residual stress before heat treatment. Beautiful work though, quite impressed! New sub.

[@imadethischannel]

Thanks! I thought the main difference between annealing and normalising is the cooling rate.

[@davidoliver2559]

Fantastic job. It reminds me of a larger stronger all metal exacto knife.

Use water when you are sanding, this will give a better result and make the sandpaper last much longer.

Good job, BRAVO bro

[@therealblurrybarber]

I hate making negative comments. Even if they are meant as constructive criticism. What I will say first, is great job! What you did with what you had... The final result is quite nice. Fit and finish look great except for one thing... You probably know this already, but single bevel knives, even tool knives like a kiridashi, have a Uraoshi almost all of the time. I'm curious how the blade performed with this. (This is the concave backside or "flat" part). I guess tho... If there was a single bevel that would work without one, I would guess this type of knife would be it. Looks great tho man. Honestly

[@imadethischannel]

Hey, the hollow back of Japanese tools is made during the forging process. The idea is to make sharpening the very hard laminated cutting layer easier. It certainly makes sense but using stock removal with hand tools from an old file, this is just not feasible.

[@therealblurrybarber]

@@imadethischannel it's done on a wheel during grinding, not during the forging. It's not only for ease of sharpening, but also to provide an "air pocket" of sorts. Say a kitchen didn't have this on a single blade... Food would stick to it and cutting would be much more difficult. I have a few Japanese kiridashi and they all have this. Although, honestly, you're right about one thing, with the kiridashi I think it's much more for the sharpness factor because they were originally made for wood carving. So you wouldn't really need to worry about anything sticking. I use them as skiving knives for leather working. I like them much more than traditional skiving knives. I was just curious if you have noticed any issues or anything using a single bevel without this. I wouldn't know if it's possible to grind one on what you did here, maybe it is. But with the hardness of a file, I wouldn't imagine it would be very easy

Hey man, great video with an awesome result, but... when hardening the blade should be a little hotter than what you quenched the blade at. keep it up

[@imadethischannel]

Hey, thanks! The colours of the steel in the video can be misleading because they strongly depend on the lighting. The blade came out very hard.

[@scharferschnitt1071]

@@imadethischannel ah good to know. However if you would have treated the steel "right" it would have been too brittle to not temper it. But since you are happy with the result you did everything right 🙂

[@imadethischannel]

I did temper it ;) 2 hours at. 200 Celsius.

Awesome video! What formula do you use to get the 30 degree angle? If you don’t mind me asking

[@imadethischannel]

Hey, thanks for watching, I’m glad you like the video. In this case I am using the tangent formula. So width of the bevel is thickness/tan(30). Hope this helps!

[@ivanvazquez3788]

Great video, can you tell me, what number or size of steel file do you use in your video. I will appreciate your answer. Greetings from Mexico!

[@imadethischannel]

Hey, it‘s a number 2. Not sure about the size. It is relatively big.

[@custerranch]

Does it matter whether the hammering is done before or after the heat treatment? Does it do any damage to add that to an existing knife?

[@imadethischannel]

You have to do it before the hardening because afterwards it would be too hard. You wouldn’t be able to dent it as much and it might shatter. With existing knives it will depend on the hardness. It has to be softer than your hammer :)

Can't imagine it's good to file a file with a file, unless you normalized the file you're playing to file with your good file or they'll both be bad files.

[@joshwalker5605]

nice! but people should be aware that most files sold over the past few decades are only case-hardened, so any knives you make out of them will not be hardenable via normal means.

[@joshwalker5605]

so very old files are gonna be best for this project

[@imadethischannel]

Yes. The one I used was actually quite new though. If they are broken, you can tell by looking at the surface of the break point.

[@Gus0046]

Perfecto trabajo. Te felicito.

[@oneshotme]

Looks great!! Why did you leave one side smooth and other side hammered, is there a reason or you just like the look? Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

[@imadethischannel]

Thanks! I left the back side smooth so that I have a flat surface all the way to the cutting edge. This way, the knife can be put flat against a surface which is useful when using it as a marking knife for wood working. Traditional Japanese kiridashis are actually a bit hollow on the back so that they can be sharpened more easily.

[@oneshotme]

@@imadethischannel You're welcome and I wasn't even thinking about that. Brain fart on my behalf lol Thanks for answering the question!!

[@Chappy_V]

could you give a link to the file you use in this video? It looks like it removes material very very fast and I need one for grinding in bevels of my own. Thanks!

[@imadethischannel]

It‘s a file from the flea market with no branding. Most of the speed is in the video editing :)

[@Chappy_V]

@@imadethischannel ok great. Do you have any recommendations on what type of file to look for? I want the coarsest one available and preferrably something rather big... any suggestions/specs to look up?

[@imadethischannel]

In my experience the very coarse files don‘t necessarily make the work much quicker. For me, a large medium coarse file works best because you still get good accuracy.
