Knife Making | The Karnivore - Making a BBQ Knife Styled After a K-Tip Gyuto
In this video I make a large BBQ knife styled after a K-tip Gyuto. I used a leaf spring that I assume is 5160 spring steel. The handle is made of monkeypod wood. I didn’t have spacer material thick enough for what I wanted, so I experimented with using leftover Kydex as a spacer. Step by step knife making process.
