Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
You ever feel like you've watched so many knife making videos you could probably make one?
Looks like you got a little Nakiri knife action going there.
Just so everyone knows, the steel that is being used to create the knife is 02 tool steel which has already been processed as well as hardened to create a steel alloy that is perfect for making cutting tools with. Contrary to what the top comment in this thread said
it is absolutely not a piece of "stock steel" but an engineered alloy specifically created just for this exact type of purpose. It does not require further forging because impurities are not present, and it comes pre-hardened. It's also very good at keeping it's hardness while the tool is created but tempering may be required if grinding/cutting occurs since that creates a lot of heat. In this video he takes out the hardness slightly by reheating it so the knife edge can be created since hardened steel is problematic to sharpen properly. The hammering is also being done to push some of the steel outwards to help with creating an edge without removing large amounts of material which will limit how large of a knife you create. There is absolutely nothing wrong with how this knife is being created and since the metal was made in a large factory process it will be far superior to home made alloy's as factories have quality assurance programs setup to prevent issues from happening.
On a side note, and the first reason I came to comment, did anyone else think at the beginning when the steel was being cut that he was cutting through the handle part? I did and then I realized he was cutting up too the part which had been marked meaning he was cutting through the area that wasn't the knife.
edit: clarifications and i'm tired
A similar one is sold on Amazon for $115.
This Shokugeki
It looks like it's really thick. Is that standard?
This sub seems like it's a bit obsessed with Japanese craftsmanship.
The knife is great but that's seriously one of the most attractive handles I've seen.
Fingerprints!!
