Knife Making: Vegetable Razor / Nakiri

Рет қаралды 2,265,989

Күн бұрын

Experimenting with weird blade geometry: nakiri and straight razor mash up.
Right handed single bevel, Nitro B steel blade, 2mm thick with center hollow grond to 1mm.
Friction fitted walnut wa-handle and saya.
I usually make multi material handles but this project is all about experimenting with blade geometry so I went with something simple and clean.
Some of the stuff I use for my projects is listed in this amazon storefront:

And this is why I watch other makers.... been making knives and sayas for quite some time and never thought to grind the handle and the saya down together, brilliant idea!

A trick I saw to ensure that your sandpaper doesn't break when you're doing things like sanding the spine of the knife is to back it with duct tape or gorilla tape. Something that's strong and flexible, but fiber reinforced.

Good looking knife and well made. Just a couple of points: when drilling stainless steel, better to run the drill very slow, keep even pressure on the drill and don't lift off the surface until you are through the metal, and, always use a good quality cutting oil. When you lift off the surface when drilling, the surface work hardens very quickly.

@brandonkaye5227 3 жыл бұрын

Just here to say that you technically made an usuba, not a nakiri. Usubas are single bevel, nakiri are double bevel. Also, the S-grind is really interesting, but part of the reason you may be getting trouble with your cuts on soft foods is because the flat side of the blade is typically hollow ground while the bevelled side is flat, allowing you to sharpen the edge to a finer point and preventing food from sticking on that side of the knife.

I saw the flaw when he was cutting the tomatoes like when you’re knife is running out sharp

This is the best kind of feedback. Correct and not condescending or anything. What's a knife like this retail for? It's such a niche thing I wouldn't even be able to hazard a guess, but I'd suppose, a lot?

@brandonkaye5227 3 жыл бұрын

@@jerod5636 Decent Usubas can easily go for at least $200 USD, if not much more depending on the maker, steel, materials, size, and any decorative patterning/style they put into the handle or blade. However, the premium in price also is influenced by demand, because the average home cook does not need an usuba and is better equipped with a nakiri and therefore they are targeted more for professional use. A nakiri is typically a bit more approachable in price, and better suited for a variety of tasks because the double bevel prevents steering in cuts and is a bit stronger for those who may not be as careful with their knives. Both are thin blades, but generally nakiri are a bit easier to keep from chipping due to the geometry of the bevels leaving more material to support the edge against damage.

@jamessv5020 3 жыл бұрын

@@jerod5636 -- Not very expensive. If one is a $20 knife every 3years kinda guy then yeah a Nakiri can be "expensive". You can get a Nakiri made of cheap steel for about $40ish. However, a good quality Shun Nakiri can run you from $125 on up. Edit: I did not see @BrandonKaye's response before I commented, but I suppose same sentiment different words. ;)

@TheEthanEdge 3 жыл бұрын

i was just wondering if it would spin around being circular? I suppose it doesn't matter for a kitchen knife too much, but wouldn't a decent knock spin the blade a bit? Or do you think the friction will hold it?

@shanelee77 3 жыл бұрын

@@TheEthanEdge Theoretically yes it could spin if it got knocked around enough a couple of ways to fix it if it ever did spin is when you put it together put a little bit of epoxy in the hole or the other way is you could put a single pin right towards the top of the handle to keep it from spinning
