Follow along to see how I made a special Nakiri out of Damascus core San Mai steel from 50.50 Forge. This knife has a carbon fiber handle with a gold flake inlay and brass mosaic pins. It was a lot of work, but a super fun project to work on! Let us know what you think!

Listening to you use the water stone at 2X speed is good ASMR

@StarkKnives 4 года назад

Hmm, maybe we should start a channel for just that haha!

@plus1experience402 3 года назад

Should make them with rounded tips for better motion up and down!

@StarkKnives 3 года назад

Thanks for the input! I do actually round the tips off a bit so that you can rock chop with them. It can be hard to see on the videos but it helps a lot. 👍🏼

Good job!

@StarkKnives 4 года назад

Thanks a lot!

could have made better use of the steel with a hidden tang handle. could have had enough left over for a pocket knife. Well explained and fun to watch. Keep it up

@StarkKnives 4 года назад

Lance Millward Thanks! I generally prefer making full tang blades but you’re right that it would’ve saved some material! I did round the tip slightly so that it wouldn’t dig into the cutting board. 👍🏼

@bassemfed8654 4 года назад

Great knife and amazing craftmanship keep up the great work Ps : why do you drill so many holes at the handle of the knife ?

@StarkKnives 4 года назад

Thanks a lot, Alex! They are for both weight reduction and to help the epoxy form a better bond to the handle material.

@williamburrell4451 4 года назад

i reckon you could be as big as alec steele, keep up the good work!

@StarkKnives 4 года назад

Thank you very much William! I really appreciate it. Would definitely love to get to that level; I really like Alec's work and videos! We'll keep plugging away. ;-)

@lancemillward1912 4 года назад

I slightly round the tip so it doesn't bike into the cutting board when used.

Those forearms look good 👀 Do you rock climb?

@StarkKnives 4 года назад

Only with good climbing buddies. ;)

@miguellopez6819 4 года назад

What date the dimensions from the spine to the heel and good job

@StarkKnives 4 года назад

Thanks a lot, Miguel! Blade length is 4.75 inches, total length 9 inches. I can't recall the exact blade height, but I believe it was about 2 inches.

That s not San Mai it is Damascus.

@StarkKnives 4 года назад

It is San Mai with a core of Damascus. The jacket was 1084 and then the Damascus core was 1084/15n20. 😃

Do you start the bevels with 60 grit so it is easier to get the scratches out?

@StarkKnives 4 года назад

I feel like it's coarse enough to remove a lot of material, but still have some control. A 36 grit would probably work for taking some of the steel off at the beginning, however, the scratches it leaves are really deep and it's easy to make a mistake with. Hope that helps!

@dominickmaone 4 года назад

Stark Knives It does!! Thanks. The last few knives I made were beveled with 36 grit and I’ve been sanding the three of them for at least 5 hours total on one side and still not finished.
