This step by step video shows the making of a pair of steak knives. They're maybe a bit on the big side for steak knives, maybe more kitchen utility knives.

I wanted to see if I could make 2 smaller knives by hand that matched. I used thinner 2mm steel for these knives to make them lighter, sharper and easier to work. The wood is American black walnut I bought on the internet.

All the steps can be easily done with no power tools whatsoever, though I do use a cheap drill press in the video to make my drilled holes more accurate.

Most of the processes used I learned about on YouTube, and most of the materials used were bought from eBay. If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments and I'll get back to you
