The Yakut Knife Making Process

The Yakutian knife is globally known for its exceptional durability, sharpness, and multifunctional versatility, with a design unlike any other blade in the world. The origin of the knife is closely tied to the nomadic lifestyle and the harsh, cold environment of the region. It’s often serves every family for generations, becoming an enduring symbol of tradition and craftsmanship.

Thank you for watching and subscribe for my next videos! 💙

This is so amazing for me to see. My great grandfather was a Yakutian knife maker, although this tradition was broken after his generation, with the family coming to canada, and the next generations becoming more and more disconnected from the culture. So many beautiful blades that he made are in posession of family on my mother's side. I've always admired them and their craftmanship, and wished I knew more about how he made them. He passed away when I was very little, and I never knew much about his life or work... there were also some language barriers while he was still alive.
Thank you so much for what you do, documenting and sharing all of this. It is wonderful being able to see so many parts of Yakutia.

Every craftsman is deserved to get full respect. They are putting huge effort into their works.

What a piece of art, I want one and I will cherish it and pass it down to next generation like a family treasure.

I have seen so many sellers just selling the shape but this video shows exactly how it is made...I would like to buy one from him ASAP

As a Japanese, it’s interesting to see such craftsmanship from another culture. Japanese knives may not be multi-functional but each type of knife is made to be suited for specific purpose. Forging and grinding of knives are passed down from generations to generations just like Yakutian tradition.

Based on your video if there was a way to order Mikhail's knives he would probably be kept busy for a year with just the demand. There is much to be said for good "working" knives; tools for everyday use. Several have already said they would like one, as would I. Thank you for bringing Mikhail's story to us. Your stories about Yakutia are wonderfully done. We appreciate how you share with the world this interesting and beautiful life

Nothing compares to a handmade knife! That is a beautiful piece of workmanship.

As a professional Bladesmith and Blacksmith I have a deep respect for all of the other craftsman of the world who pass down their traditions and knowledge to each generation in hopes of keeping them alive. No matter how advanced the world gets I have no doubt that these skills and knowledge will always remain the same. Now I am going to go in my shop and make a Yakut knife.

This is the first time I learn about Yakutia Knife and it is an amazing craft. I like its multifunctional utility. Really wish to have one.

Hi Kiun B! We're 3 metis brothers, French-Korean, and we are traveling from France to Korea by car! We dreamt to go to Yakutia one day, and this dream came true... We are nowadays in Yakutia, we will go soon in deep countryside to meet reindeer people ☀️ We'd love to meet you guys!

And if there is any Sakha reading us don't hesitate to contact us 😁

It’s nice to see that still people like making stuff with their hands . Great video as always watching from the U.K.

[uybanabys]

Восхищаюсь такими людьми как Михаил, делают свою любимую работу с удовольствием и вкладывают всего себя! Спасибо KiunB за прекрасный и позновательный видеоролик.👍🏻

It amazes me how blacksmiths in other countries make there knives and other things using the same principles but they have there own traditions to make knives. It's truly a work of functional art. I would gladly pay 100 for one his knives. So many things can be done with it. A multi purpose tool. Thank you

[petyaivanova]

What you do for your country and hometown, Kiun, is amazing! Respect!

[faridgresut]
