In this video I make a small carving knife. I decided to experiment with the technique of laminating steel, often referred to as "san mai".

  • Torb, as a retired master lapidary, award winning designer and hand fabricating goldsmith, I know that there is a world of difference between “precision” and _precise_ precision; that there is a difference between “good enough for public consumption ” and true mastery of a craft. Thank you, my friend, for the chance to watch the latter in action. Very nice work, indeed!

  • When I was about 10 or 12 living in Penny,BC Canada I had mowed laws help cut peoples wood for a whole year to buy in the late 70's a German chip carving kit with two oil stone kit from Lee Valley. The one you made totally reminds me of those that I still have a use. Very nice work you will inspire me when I have my forge up and running again in a year. Thanks for the share.

  • I don't understand why so many dislikes, the only negative comments I see are about the handle but that follows pretty closely to the euro style carving handle so I think people just don't understand that it's a purpose built knife. Anyway, Love the fact that you made this from the drop off another knife. I'm always looking for ways to minimize material loss and this nails it. Beautiful knife, flawless execution as always. Kudos!

There is a high quality carving knife on the market that (imo) delivers more than You pay for: The Morakniv 120 has a blade of laminated Steel that keeps sharpness long and is esy to resharp on a bankstone(*) and it's prize is amazing. (* normally I do 2-3 pulls each side on 1000 grit, sometimes finish with 6000)
