Making a Modern Santoku-Style Knife

[@99echo]

What kind of knife should I try next?

[@99echo]

hahaha it is! Did you upgrade to 2"x72"? Those Red Label Abrasive belts might be helping me out.

[@99echo]

Nice, I imagine I'll be shopping around for one in a few months time. Let me know how you like yours

[@kims2r]

Maybe a small edc fixed blade with a cool handle? I’m thinking 3 to 3,5” blade, maybe sheepsfoot style, genre Bradford guardian😍

[@99echo]

@@kims2r first time seeing those Bradford knives. I love the lines on them. Interestingly enough I have a small EDC knife custom order I need to make 😳.

[@kims2r]

@@99echo my fav is the guardian 3 sheepsfoot with the blackwash finish😍 and they have a cool scoutcarry sheath

Dude, I think I watched all of your videos now, and I like them all! Great job, keep it up! You gave me a few ideas as well, will use them on my builds! Cheers!

[@99echo]

That's what I like to hear! Just subbed to your channel as well. Looking forward to seeing what you do.

[@GPDIY]

Congratulations. Excepcional job. Thanks for share.

[@99echo]

I appreciate it!

[@GPDIY]

Keep it up.

Why the random screws at the end? The handles are epoxied on....

[@99echo]

Mechanical reinforcement + aesthetics. If not a screw then a pin would've been there. You'll be hard pressed finding a full tang knife that is just epoxied

[@18deadmonkeys]

that patented dremel sound is so comfy

[@Pmedic605]

Nice knife, but what's "tactical" about it?

[@99echo]

Just tried to give it more of a tactical aesthetic compared to a traditional Santoku. It's hard to describe the style I'm going for since it's a hybrid of a few different looks. What would you call it?

[@Pmedic605]

@@99echo A really great chef's knife. Seriously nice work, just not seeing tactical.

[@99echo]

Thanks, I do appreciate the feedback!

[@kims2r]

I think for a focussed kitchen knife it would be way too thick a blade stock, combined with the jimping I guess it’s more tactical than a kitchenknife;)

[@99echo]

@@kims2r let's call it what it is... An abomination 😜

[@tommyduke7104]

Whats your steel?

[@99echo]

It was cut from that large saw blade I showed in the beginning. Bought it at a flea market for $5. It hardened nicely and the edge is holding up too.
