Knife Making - Japanese Folding Knife

[@pjhalchemy]

Loved the free hand milling, Koss. Always amazed at the simplicity of what you build sometimes and the beauty it becomes...truly simple elegance! Thanks Koss, always a treat!

[@svenskfence3]

Right, I'm a CNC machinist and I've NEVER seen anybody try that one

[@Codename-B]

I was doing my own higonokame and that square brass tubing looks like a GREAT advantage over hammering flat stock. Awesome build!

[@stephenjohnson6841]

What an awesome minimalist design! Another truly epic piece! Thanks again!

[@FabeardulousKnucks]

Without some kind of internal stop pin or ledge on the ricasso for the closed position, won’t the edge of the blade bang on the inside of the handle when closing?

[@MisterGames]

Thank you, Koss, for sharing your craft with us.

[@RockyVegaTV]

Man you are truly skilled. I never get tired of these videos.

[@serengytech]

Exciting video! Impressive craftsmanship and attention to detail. Great job! I would add grip pads. Copper is very soft, they will strengthen it.

[@experimentsfromnata219]

I think the same

[@dylandavis2737]

Traditionally tantos don't have grip pads they're just a wooden block for the handle so you'd lose the traditional look, though I'm sure it would make it more comfortable to hold

[@serengytech]

@@dylandavis2737 I am not opposed to this option. but then you need to do not from copper

[@dylandavis2737]

@@serengytech is the handle not wood? I honestly just skimmed the video and it looked like wood

[@GerstBladeworks]

@@dylandavis2737no it’s copper

[@athmaid]

That is the best looking higonokami I've ever seen. It's like a japanese version of the Otter copper folder

[@Jeremy-kg1zr]

This really does have a simple and yet still exquisite design. As someone who uses knives both in camping/backpacking and cooking, I have some sense of a good blade design(though no expert), and the blade seems well designed for a useful pocket knife, the minimalist design is perfect for pocket carry and ease of use, And the lines are aesthetically perfect. The perfect pocket knife? And all hand made. Wonderfully done.

[@annagirlieee5290]

Very nice elegant, simple, razor sharp,, and these qualities when blended are very Japanese in my opinion The beauty speaks for itself! Thank you.

[@sureshot311]

Awesome work. It's cool seeing the processes behind the knife part.

[@imstupid880]

Very nice medieval European peasant's knife!

[@HoY_82]

That surface grinder! I want one!!

[@ajgeorgoulis]

Beauty. And a decently thick blade too.

[@agungh1670]

The design looks like shaver from 60's

[@HaloDJumper]

That's one of the reasons I love this knife. Idk what is about a straight razor I enjoy so much, though....

[@agungh1670]

@@HaloDJumper couldn't agree more

[@galadballcrusher8182]

Well before straight razors got formed people used to shave with knives...

[@agungh1670]

@@galadballcrusher8182 yes i knew, i have one at home from 60's, it was belonged my grandfather

[@galadballcrusher8182]

Nice friction folder

[@hypebeatz563]

Beautiful blade you made there

[@psblacksmith524]

Amazing work

[@ussrbiker5715]

ножик получился очень красивый! но есть пара нюансов. очень большой угол сведения. такой грубый угол делается для прочности, когда ножом планируется работать в суровых условиях, что уже не актуально для складного ножа, но это еще ничего, а вот штифт заклепаный в миллиметровой латуни не самое надежное соединение. в таком случае куда логичнее было бы сделать клинок более острым, что б он идеально резал в не нагруженных условиях, потому что в нагруженых клинок выдержит, а вот заклепка нет. да и вообще какие тяжелые условия могут быть для складного ножа?))

[@daredevilo7255]

This reminds me of the higonokami nagao japanese folder blade

[@DEdens1525]

Excellent work.

[@Aleksei-88888]

Ну тут и так понятно, человек занимается,много станков и приблуд, профессионал , и ты не сможешь за ним повторить , а ват если человек делает, с болгаркой и обычным наждаком ,это совсем другая история. Мастеру ,лайк 👍

[@petertwiss356]

great looking knife .... 2 questions: (1) why don't you add ball bearings? your stuff is quality enough for it. (2) I didn't see a locking mechanism, was there one? thx

[@jdzencelowcz]

I'd carve a little notch where the bar part meets the hinge, so it locks in better.

[@Jechidat_Oketz]

Love it. Awesome Work. 🤩

[@sebastian-ic1mz]

Interesting

[@dalebechtel8904]

Sweet

[@zushiba]

You should electro etch some kind of design into the handle. That would be killer!

[@sawboss5794]

I dont make knives but I have a design Idea that youd be perfect for.

[@user-fi2qm7qc6m]

oh！that nice！

I have a question about your bandsaw. What type of bandsaw are you using and which blades do you use with it?

[@zohrabdavudov5392]

Здравствуйте! Мне очень понравился этот нож , вы продаете свои ножи?

[@angrytom1923]

How does the blade stay sharp through the tumbling process? Do you sharpen it again afterwards, or is the tumbling media just really soft?

[@enzobrambilla3692]

Bellissimo, quanto inutile senza il liner look

[@ZgNavigator]

nice work, fantastic knife but blade is too thick

[@Sobo.deso93]
