I made this Kiritsuke

Although I am in no way an expert, I really like Japanese stuff. They somehow manage to reduce things to the essentials while keeping them super functional. This is especially true for their cooking knifes.
I already have a cooking knife, but hey ... knife making is fun!
For this Kiritsuke I simply used a piece of 1095 steel. I know that traditional Japanese knives are made from laminates of hard and soft steels but that's just what I had lying around. Purist are also likely to whine about my handle design but I wanted to keep it simple and pragmatic. It did cost me two attempts to get it right in the end.
It was a fun project and this thing might very well become my go-to kitchen knife now!

I hope you enjoy the video!
