【Knife Making】 How to Make Handmade Japanese Knives with 600 Years of History.

Hi Guys!!!
This video introduces the process of crafting a Japanese kitchen knives.
In Japan, almost 90% of chefs choose Sakai Uchihamono. Even today, each knife is made by hand in a 15-step process, and the sharpness of the blade is enough to make a chef’s heartbeat faster. The Japanese knives have a “single-beveled” which is unique compared to other knives in the world, and the razor-sharp blade is excellent for cutting fish when preparing Japanese food. It shows a brilliant cut on the food and brings out the best flavor without crushing the cells.
As the Japanese food boom such as sashimi and sushi are taking place overseas, the tools used to make such Japanese food are also receiving attention, spurring their popularity. Izumi Riki Seisakusho Co., Ltd. has expanded into the United States, Singapore, and France. Also, they receive advice from top chefs outside of Japan, and works hard every day to develop products that can meet the needs of all genres including Japanese, Western, and Chinese cuisine. Stainless steel knives are inexpensive and easy to maintain, while forged blades are expensive and prone to spills. However, just by adding the routine of “sharpening” before cooking, you will not only improve the sharpness of your knives but also make your cooking time more enjoyable. Why not give it a try?
Please enjoy watching the Japanese craftsmanship!!!!

It takes more than a year to learn how to make such a knife. 👍👍

[@Craftsmanship-Process]

Thank you so much for your comment 😊 That was absolutely master technique 👏

[@trappenweisseguy27]

A smith like him will have decades of experience. Apprentices typically have around 6 years under their belt before the master will allow them to forg3 a knife. They do sharpening and grinding for years before being allowed to forge. It’s the Japanese way.

[@Craftsmanship-Process]

​@TrappenWeisseGuy ; thank you for your comment!! You're right, the one of apprentice in this video is the son of master and they learn skills from their master🙌🙌

[@nanashinde9513]

[@hikewomeat]

Knives and other cutting items made by Japanese craftsmen are deservedly considered the pinnacle of perfection. Since labor and skill are invested in their production, based on ancient traditions and strengthened by the philosophy associated with the comprehension of Zen. The master who created the knife expresses in his creation the idea of ​​beauty and perfection. I understand that a person can learn this art all his life. The process itself is important. I myself am also trying to do something similar. Of course, I am very far from the skill shown in this video. But, nevertheless, I learned a lot of useful things. I want to ask you about the hardening process. It is noticeable that in the area of ​​the blade on the knife there is a line left over from the hardening process. But this process itself is not shown in the film. If this is not a secret, please tell us how hardening is done. Are you using oil or water? Do you apply clay to the surface of the workpiece to prevent hardening of parts of the knife other than the blade?

[@stevesyncox9893]

Some steels will auto hamon. W1 is good for that & 1084.

[@hikewomeat]

Probably this phenomenon is associated with the geometry of the blade itself. The thin part cools during hardening faster. In any case, the listed types of steels are cooled in water or in a two -stage process first in water, then in oil. In this video, the hardening process is not shown. Therefore, we definitely cannot know how the local hardening of steel is achieved.

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

Bet the people there just do their work and give a rat's ass about Zen. Not everything the Japanese do has a philosophy about it.

[@user-od5db1lf6n]

あなたのおっしゃる通り、硬化プロセス(日本では焼き入れ(yakiire)と言います)で線が出る刃物もあります。しかしそれは多くの場合、日本刀(Nihontou)で使われる技法です。 ⚪︎玉鋼(Tamahagane)を刀(Katana)の形に成形した後、泥(砥石の粉や灰などを含んだもの)を厚みを厚い箇所と薄い箇所に分けて塗り、炉で熱した後急冷します。多くの刀鍛冶は水を使って急冷させますが、油を使う刀鍛冶もいます。泥の厚い箇所は温度が下がるのがゆっくり、薄い箇所は早く温度が下がる事によって硬さの違いが生まれます(刃先は硬くしたいので薄く泥を塗ります)。硬さの違いとはつまり組織の違いです。硬い箇所はマルテンサイト(Martensite)、柔らかい箇所はパーサイト(Persite)という組織構造になり、刃物に適した役割を果たします。因みに、包丁でこの構造を持つものもあります。本焼き(Honyaki)と呼ばれる和包丁の最高級品は、日立金属安来工場(2023年現在は株式会社プロテリアル安来工場(Proterial Yasugi, Ltd.)という名前に変わってしまいました。悲しい。)で生産される、青紙鋼(Hitachi Blue knife steel)に代表される優れた刃物鋼の上に泥を塗り焼き入れをした包丁です。日本刀と同じプロセスで生まれる包丁と言えます。 ⚪︎上記の日本刀に対して、日本の家庭でも使われる和包丁の多くは、軟鉄と刃物鋼を鍛接したものです。この場合、軟鉄と鋼の境目に線が出ます。硬化プロセスによって線が生まれるわけではありません。こちらは日本刀と同じプロセスで生まれているとは言いづらいです。また、和包丁の特徴の一つとして片刃(Kataba)という構造が重要なファクターとなります。”キッチンナイフは片側にしか刃が無いから全部片刃だろ？”という方もいらっしゃるでしょう。しかし日本の包丁において片刃というと、平な厚い部分から刃先に向かって徐々に薄くなる面の裏にほぼ平な面があるものを言います。これによって和包丁は素晴らしい切れ味を得ます。この動画で生産されているのはまさにこの片刃の包丁(出刃(Deba)包丁)です。

The piece steel put on at the 0:30 mark is the actual piece of high carbon steel that will be drawn into the cutting edge. The rest is non high carbon steel.

[@Craftsmanship-Process]

Thank you for your comment 🙌🙌 Yes the steel is called "Jigane" in Japan and it makes the knife sharp 👌

[@TrevorDennis100]

I was worried about that. The body of the knife was soft enough to easily mark with the chisel, so how would it keep an edge? Knowing the edge steel is different to the body answers that, but we didn't see and heat treatment.

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

What a weird way to attach the handle. Guess it would be way easier to clamp the blade into a vice and just hammer the handle on, which would also properly close the gap between tang and handle that is so often present on traditional Japanese knives.

[@Craftsmanship-Process]

thanks for the comment;)

[@MrMackievelli]

Burning in a handle is one of the best ways to attach a handle. Doing your hammer on way would destroy the wood.
