The video's creator attempts to make a traditional Yakut knife from a Soviet wrench. They start by cutting the wrench and shaping it into a blade using a grinder. However, they make a critical mistake during the hardening process, causing the blade to melt and become unusable.
Undeterred, they search for another identical wrench and successfully create a new blade. They then focus on making a handle for the knife using a unique method involving a wooden block, a burner, and two-component resin.
Once the handle is complete, they attach the blade and sharpen it using a sharpening machine. The finished knife is extremely sharp and is used to slice frozen fish into thin pieces, demonstrating its effectiveness. The video ends with a shaving test and an invitation to subscribe to the channel for more interesting content.
