Making A $500 Japanese Chef’s Knife

[@tobesmith7632]

Good video. Didn't think you would get a harmon Out of 80 CRV. S grind would have been really really nice on this knife. Made one for a relative who is a professional caterer and she loves the s grind

Ahh Alas; during editing I realized my blunder there and wondered if any would catch that! Thank you haha! Thanks for checking out the video, God bless - Ian

[@SoggyBottomForgeJoe]

I was just going to say that. Lol.

[@Matthew61341]

Japanese single bevel knives are supposed to have a concavity ground into the non-bevelled side. This ensures that there are no high spots that interfere with the whetstone making contact with the edge during sharpening.

Such a beautiful knife bro. How much would u charge for that knife?

[@niqnact1121]

What did you quench it in?

[@IanZ_Forge]

This one was quenched in a Parks 50 Quench oil!

I know your calipers are probably not used for perfect precision but watching you as an machinist it hurts to watch you scribe lines with them😂

[@l_3216]

music choice at the end there sounds more chinese than japanese

[@IanZ_Forge]

Ahh that’s fair! Thanks for checking out the video though 🙂🙏 God bless - Ian Z
