Knife Мaking. Making a Japanese Knife.

In this video, I'll show you how to make a Japanese knife - Kiritsuke from x12mf steel. Steel X12MF was created in the 30s of the last century as a tool alloy for cold deformation. This material remains in demand today. Outstanding wear resistance characteristics allow the raw material to be used in mass as well as serial production. Unfortunately, I do not have the opportunity to forge a knife, and therefore I use a blank for a knife made of x12mf steel. With the help of a grinder I form the outline of a knife. To harden a knife, I heat it up to 1100 degrees and immerse it after heating it in oil. and afterwards I put it in to oven for 2 hours at a temperature of 200 degrees. To make the handle of the knife, I use the Japanese traditional technique wa handle. The principle is to fix the knife handle with a dowel. I am not a Japanese knife expert because it takes years of practice to make. If you have any comments I will be glad to hear if you are really a specialist in the manufacture of Japanese knives. But I'm trying for you. Happy viewing.
