What did you put on the handle for a finish???

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

@@jeffreydauterman the handle was sanded to 1500, treated with teak oil, then 6 coats of tung oil, sanded to 3000 and then lightly oiled again. Then coated with sone mineral oil. Thanks for watching!

Thanks so much for checking it out! This one was sold a while ago. What I have is (normally) in my Etsy shop (link in every video description). I’ve pulled it all down because it’s all going to the blade show in LA in Oct. If there’s a build you see on KZbin that I might still have and want to purchase but can wait until after the show to receive it, I’ll sell those and just mark them sold. I have the mosaic Damascus bowie, zebra twist hunter, 1095 hunter, 52100 ball bearing take down bowie and the Loki dagger. If you’re interested in purchasing any of these, please email me (tyrellknifeworks at gmail) or hit me up on Instagram.

both knives turned out really cool, the wolftooth damascus making both shapes all the more beautiful, and you both can be proud of your work. in your case, i am a big fan of how well the wide blade shows of the pattern, your effort to drag it to follow the cutting edge really paid off, plus the double guard has to be fun to give it a swirl with, i'd love to wield a knife like this. tho i am a big fan of tanto style builds, i think this build-off is going to you keep up your awesome work

[@LIONTAMER3D]

@@TyrellKnifeworks that sub-hilt, slender & long-handle design is just SOVERIGN for using the knife in a wide variety of ways. I know sub-hilts are considered "fighters" automatically; they are not. The ability to pull the blade through what you are cutting, regardless of appplication, is assisted by the sub-hilt design (or, as Fred Perrin & I prefer, a straight-up ring since the full ring design doubles as a better hand guard), as is the ability to withdraw the blade from a dense medium after puncturing. In other words, the sub-hilt helps both cutting AND puncturing; both of which are what knives do =/

Airin's knife was amazing, truly another skilled worker; however, the fact that you forge welded yours versus cutting it out and your "dual finger guard" was simply something different and knew puts yours over the top IMHO. Regardless, I'd be honored to own either one.

Good Morning Tyrell Knifeworks, Beautiful knife. I have a question would it not be more beneficial to have a full tang or a long tang for the handle ?

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Bowie knives traditionally are hidden tang. Any knife with a guard has to be a hidden or through tang, unless it’s some slotted guard, but those are rare and don’t look nice. A hidden tang is still a very strong construction. Thanks for watching.

[@webneko9842]

Beautiful knife! May I ask how you get that mirror finish on the wood of the handle?

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

The handle was sanded to 1000 and buffed with several different compounds. Then waxed and finally coated with a bit of mineral oil. I didn't count but I'm sure it was many hours! Thanks for watching!

[@permafrostinsanity1799]

I’ve always been told to first drill holes in the tang, before any tempering is attempted, because drilling after tempering, increases the likelihood of cracks in the tang due to it being already hardened.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

I’ve drawn back the temper on the tang so it’s soft and I can drill through it. I’m not drilling hardened steel. That wouldn’t work anyway. Thanks for watching

What an awesome work of art! My vote - considering the function is for a “fighting knife” - goes to you. If I had to be in a knife fight... and I hope it never happens, I think this one would have greater balance and functionality, and would never slip out of the hand. Only slight thing I’d prefer to see on this blade is a different profile on the fuller. Just seems a little narrow in proportion to my eyes. Maybe a slightly shorter length fuller, and with a noticeable chamfer on the fuller edges.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Absolutely agree! The only ball end mill I had was a 1/4”. Funny that Airin did a fuller the same way but he had a 1/2” one. I certainly would have used it if I had it. 👍

You made a fuller! Good job! I couldn't see it in the pictures because of the damascus. Everyone likes damascus but I don't care for it. I guess as a knife maker it's kind of a flex to say you made your own damascus but I prefer sold/single steel.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]
