Making A Siberian Yakut Knife -- Part 1

In this short series I’ll be building a Siberian Yakut knife with very basic materials. Literally a blade, wood and some epoxy. The Yakut knife is a traditional Siberian design that is unique in design. It incorporates a convex grind on one side & a flat/ hollow grind on the other. Much like Japanese chisels. This design allows the blade to be very thin yet strong & rigid at the same time. It also makes for ease of sharpening since it is only sharpened on the flat side of the blade.
