Good day to all. In this article I will try to describe in detail how the author of the Berendey channel made a Japanese vegetable knife from a saw blade.
Materials used by the author: PVA glue.
Epoxy resin
Saw blade.
Linseed oil.
A couple of pieces of wood. Paduc. (Red tree.)
And beech.
Cable ties.
Instruments:
Gas-burner
Wood hacksaw,
Files
Sharpening machine
Sandpaper,
Metal file
Scissors,
Drill and drill
Marker,
File and rasp on wood,
First of all, the author will make a knife template on a piece of paper, based on the size of his saw blade. After cut out the template and stick it to the metal.
After a nail file, he cuts the blank of the future knife.
Then aligns the edges with files.
Then it will process all the edges with sandpaper.
Then he will release the metal a little, so that it would be easier to make descents and sharpening.
Then he paints this place with a marker.
And marks the center.
After installing the knife blank in the machine.
Adjusts the machine at 10 degrees, and makes descents.
After trying to harden the metal back, but it does not work for him, because he could not heat the workpiece to the desired temperature.
After the author began to make pens.
To do this, he sawed off a small piece of mahogany. (From it the author will make a bolster.)
And he trimmed the file with a saw.
The pen itself, the author will make of beech. Sawing off a piece of the right size.
Then he will find the center at the workpiece.
And make a few through holes.
After connecting these holes with a file.
Next, install the workpiece on the knife.
And proceed to the second part of the handle. It will also make holes, but not through holes anymore.
After it installs this workpiece on the knife.
And glues them together with PVA glue.
And fix both blanks with ties.
While stick blanks were glued together, the author proceeded to sharpen the knife. By setting the knife on the machine, and setting the desired degree.
After sharpening on the machine, sharpening on a leather belt with GOI paste.
Verification
Then, on the handle of the knife, I made not large grooves with a file, for better fixing the knife with the handle when gluing.
Then he combined the hardener and the resin according to the instructions, and mixed well.
I poured the finished glue into the hole in the wooden handle.
And then set the knife. And left for 24 hours.
A day later, the author continued. The approximate shape of the pen, the author noted with a pencil at the end of the workpiece.
And then he began to give the workpiece the desired shape. First, a rasp.
Then file.
Next, sandpaper P60.
After P120.
Next, P 320.
After processing and grinding, the author impregnated the handle with linseed oil.
Such a homemade knife turned out by the author.
And a test for vegetables.
And that’s all. Thank you all and see you soon!
