Forging a Razor Sharp Japanese Nakiri - Knife Making ASMR
Making Kitchen Knives - Part 3
Hello and Thanks for Watching! I made a Nakiri from W1 flat bar. I put a Hamon on it for aesthetics. The handle is made from Bird's Eye Maple and brass. This was my first Nakiri and first time making a Japanese style knife. It was also the first time I made a knife with a hidden tang handle.
