The Science of Forging Japanese Kitchen Knives
1:00:16 - 1:06:39 (06:22)
Forging Japanese kitchen knives involves heating and hammering steel into different shapes, resulting in a higher performing blade. By refining the grain in the steel, the complexity of the boundary between grains increases, increasing the strength of the steel.
