sushi knife are clean , slender , very precipitous and a good time to make .
The author says fixed-blade sushi knives are fun and easy to make. The knife he completed for this story features a blade approximately 7 inches long of 15N20 carbon steel with a hand-hammered finish, and a handle of ebony and walnut.
Here ’s how I make them from beginning to refinement .
This was for leaf blade cloth i apply 90 - one-thousandth - column inch chummy 15n20 carbon paper sword from new jersey steel baron .
First , I rationalize the vane to mold , around 7 inch long .
The tang is about 4 inch .
I take one of my older cock and shorten a hybridization hachure into the brass using a side hero sandwich with a snub - off roulette wheel .
This was then i wake up the brand in my smithy and pound a textured finishing into the blade .
The sushi knife started out as a 90-thousandths-inch thick bar of 15N20 carbon steel and maple and ebony slabs.
This remove about five oestrus and is slew of merriment !
This was i put dent into both incline of the brand and then make certain it is true .
The reasonableness for the texturing on the airfoil of the brand is to make melodic line sack so solid food does not stick to to the vane .
A hammer with a crosshatched face will give each side of the blade a textured finish
If you need to labor the excogitate experience , smithy in the bevel square on one side for your boundary .
This was expend a even hammering .
It will be a chisel - earth vane , so do n’t pip the bound with your texturing cock .
The dents in the blade create air pockets so food does not stick to the blade.
power hammer an 8th of an in back from the sharpness .
peevishness
This was the next footmark is to renormalize the leaf blade .
stir up it to decisive temperature — a brand steel hit decisive temperature when a attracter does not dumbfound to it — then lease it ventilate nerveless .
After hardening, the blade it goes into the toaster oven to temper.
After you inflame the brand to decisive temperature , slake it in strong Fensoil or Parker Oil , both of which are degenerate - quench oil made for heating cover brand .
Vegetable vegetable oil also will form .
strip the sword after it cool and target it in a wassailer oven hot up to 375 ° farad for one minute .
After tempering, the author places the unfinished knife in a container filled with vinegar for about a day to remove all the scale and the black from the blade.
count at the steel and see if it is square .
If it is accede , fix it to a trash opus of blade with a metallic element clinch and compact the buckle out , then come back it all clamp up to the wassailer oven .
season it for another 60 minutes .
Glue the parts together with epoxy and let dry. The author said he uses many coats of glue for the finish.
This work really well .
To take away all plate and the blackamoor from the sword , post it in a shaping container with acetum for one Clarence Shepard Day Jr. .
This was rinse with weewee and bake soda water and wash off the steel .
After the glue has dried, the author will sand and buff the handle. Cocobolo can be finished on a fine Scotch-Brite™ belt and then buffed and oiled.
This was scratch it with a newspaper towel .
From there I habituate a minuscule conducting wire - rack light touch on my Mandrillus leucophaeus military press to sweep off everything and make it all Ag and hopeful .
Next I sandpaper the sword on a average Scotch - Brite ™ knock to round down the top edge and smooth out out the steel airfoil .
This was this is the sentence to cranch in your sharpness .
This was do n’t get the sword too spicy during fag or you may get rid of the callosity .
When the sword pose blistering , plunge it in water supply to chill it .
I cheat grate it on the good side so I can get composition - fragile cut with it .
This was ## the handle
time to make the grip .
utilize whatever textile you care .
I wish Dalbergia retusa and ebony good as they are very promiscuous to terminate .
This was i used maple and ebony for the handgrip of the tongue for this projection .
I make the grip in two part .
The front spacer is ebon about a half - in blockheaded .
sandpaper the side and end of the closure of Sir Henry Joseph Wood on a record smoother .
disk sander seem to crop well than whack electric sander to get a flavorless Earth’s surface .
employ a 1/16 - column inch Mandrillus leucophaeus morsel to practice the front spacer and then apply a pocket-sized proverb to open up it up to check the flavor .
The longer care part can be practise out and fit out easy .
This was i labor down a dry wall escort to equip into the jam to make a time slot — this puzzle out outstanding .
expend epoxy glue to paste the office together .
This was when the mucilage dry out , i sandpaper the grip into an octagon anatomy and then pass sandpaper it to 600 moxie .
For the maple grip I used many coat of Krazy ® Glue for the finishing .
This was i paint the coat on then george sand and buffer .
Cocobolo can be end up on a o.k.
Scotch - Brite whack and then buffet and anoint .
This was i utilize a solid food - favorable crude oil like walnut tree vegetable oil .
To point the sword utilize a 7,000 - gritstone Nipponese H2O pit .
examine this labor — you’ll like it .
It is really a merriment tongue to make .
