Making a Kitchen KATANA | Hamon w/ Hybrid Handle

[@theshapeshifter232]

Hello, loved your video, where do you sell your knives?

[@MASI_forging]

Beautiful Kitchen KATANA. The handle looks cool. 👍👍

[@pgsknives7651]

love that hazy hamon look

[@99echo]

The best!

[@kiramaybon5557]

Great job! This knife is very cool! But, may be more better without music at future? Imho - the mechanisms sounds cooler than any music. Thanks for you job! Wish you luck! 👍👍👍

[@99echo]

Haha yes will do, the people have spoken. Thanks for watching!

[@Lambman001]

Give that man a BELLS. Very nice knife!!

[@99echo]

Thank you! What's a BELLS though?

[@morphmann]

@@99echo its fro.m an old advert on tv. When an old man got a hole in one in golf. He achieved something so wonderful after trying so hard. Bells is a whisky. Its just a saying when some one does somethimg so awesome. Hope this helps. Type it into youtube and check the advert" give that man a bells"

[@99echo]

Hahah those are great, never seen it before. I'll take it!

[@Aleeknives]

I liked your groovy music and the overall fit and finish was fantastic! Super sweet looking blade man! New sub here

[@99echo]

Alee! Big fan man. You were one of the channels I looked to for inspiration on filming my own knife builds, great to have you here!

[@Aleeknives]

Well that is awesome! Heck ya man! Cheers

That turned out neat

Etching is always a surprise lol. Gotta love it

[@gurvinderkau1e5w18]

Beautiful blade. Hamon line came out so cool👍👍🔥🔥🔥

[@99echo]

Thank you! Was surprised how clean it came out. Thought there would be some variation in the final look off of what I masked on. But it followed the cement to a T.

[@Take_And_Make]

Knife turned out good, I dig hamon line! Speaking of music, I don't mind some of the tunes in the edit, but this one I had to mute...

[@99echo]

Haha dang not a fan huh? Still searching for the right tunes. Thought this one was nice and chill.

[@99echo]

To be fair I think it sounded much better with my headphones 🎧

[@Take_And_Make]

It could be very hard to the right tune, people have different tastes. And yes, it’s always sounds better in headphones, try to avoid them when you chose. Again, some of my videos without any music at all and seems like people like it more

[@99echo]

@@Take_And_Make yeah going to give it a try on the next one. Thanks brother!

[@chrisspell9695]

@@99echo badass! I just bought an old file to get started, any tips using files?

[@99echo]

@@chrisspell9695 sweet! Do you have a forge? To save time and frustration it'd be best to try and anneal the steel before you start grinding. If not then my only advice would be to use dull belts first to knock off the hard edge and then once you have a flat surface to work on, switch to a fresh one. A good thing about using files is that if you don't anneal it then it's plenty hard as is to use without heat treating.

[@chrisspell9695]

@@99echo I don’t have a forge unfortunately but I have been watching some diy videos to possibly build one

[@99echo]

Yeah you can get away with a little insulated coffee can propane burner. Got a belt sander? I'm using a 2x42. In my opinion it was worth the jumping to instead of the 1x30 people usually start with. The disc sander combo also has come in handy multiple times.

Thanks!

[@theo78151]

Wonderful knife. I just received my order from Eurotechni, containing sandvik inox 10c28mo2, which I feel like purposing for a replica of your kitchen katana. Could you please tell me how long the blade is? And some 2,5 mm thick, probably? But I doubt i will get such a beautiful hamon on inox steel. Thanx in advance. TV

[@thinhsuynhuoc]

Hey i see that you dip it in some sort of acid, feric chloride i assume but is there any other way i can bring out the edge with more available chemicals like vinegar or something like that?

[@99echo]

Really strong instant coffee should darken it. I haven't tried it with hamons but it works great with layered steels. Might have to play around with the polishing steps

[@stevehisey389]

I noticed you baked on the fireplace cement first before heat treat. What temp and how long do you leave it in the oven? Thanks for a great video.

[@99echo]

I want to say 250 for like 5-10 mins. Really just to speed up the drying. It also puffs up when I do that which seems to insulate a little better

[@UjangSumardi]

[@Joshuardereck17]

Great vid! What thickness of the blade are you recommending before heattteating so the edge dosen’t bend? I don’t have a belt sander so I have to file the knife before treating😢

[@99echo]

Thanks! Honestly I've been going thinner and thinner seeing how much I can take off before finish grinding to save time. I'd say the thickness of a dime is safe, thinner if you can. I think it's more important to make sure you're taking of the same amount of material on each side. Get yourself a grinder! $200 2x42 on amazon.

[@Joshuardereck17]

@@99echo okay thx. I Build myself a jig and go to the scrapped lines... but of course a sander would be faster...

[@cortneynelson2213]

Nice blade man i just bought that same sander!! Waiting on my order from apha knife to come in and make some sweet blades. Where do u get ur g10 and stabilized wood from

[@99echo]

Nice! I love to hear it. I get G10 from a couple places, one of them being Alpha. Another great option for composites is G-carta from Greg Hansen (just picked up a bunch of good stuff). Stabilized wood from Robs wild wood on insta is my go to. If you have any questions on your new sander let me know. I did a few upgrades that I think make it much more usable for knife making. Might make a video on it actually

I like this knifes. 06:11 what is ?

[@99echo]

Thanks! Its ferric chloride to etch the steel

[@simondoug]

Very nice knife. One thing. When you showed your forge, it looked like there was no refractory cement covering the kaowool. If you don't have refractory on your kaowool, you really should do that. You can develop pretty bad lung issues by breathing in the burnt wool.

[@99echo]

Ah didn't know that, I appreciate it. I'll look into it

[@99echo]

Turns out the forge I have came already sealed with rigidizer so all good. Thanks for the concern!

[@simondoug]

@@99echo Rigidizer is not refractory. You can still get the lung damage. It needs to be refractory cement. All the rigidizer is doing is taking the soft wool and making it hard. It doesn't protect you from the effects of the wool being vaporized.

[@99echo]

@@simondoug so just smear it on there? Can you recommend any place to find the process online? Only thing I'm finding are contradicting forums.

[@simondoug]

@@99echo For sure. Look for a product called satanite. It is the go-to for refractory cements. Blacksmithdepot has it for 20 bucks. Cheap way to save your health. Plaster it in about 1/2 inch thick and let it cure for a 4 or 5 days so it is good and dry. I would also recommend you continue to use the fire brick in the bottom of your forge. If you get into forge welding, the flux can eat away at the refractory. Fire brick is cheap to replace. Chipping out refractory to replace it is a pain.
