Forging a Silver Damascus Katana

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

I made a mistake in the video, the sterling silver was $660, it was the huge piece of pure silver that was $1000. I've had a lot of people ask if I would do this with gold... I've already done a 24k gold build which you can checkout here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKXcooFmaNOln7M. Let me know if you have other questions. Thanks for watching!

[@Dgafsranger]

Do one with separate levels one base one silver one base one gold one base one copper one base and see if it comes out really cool or ???

Talking technically speaking, the only thing brother did wrong here is work cold steel and he did that once which is fine. This is the second most beautiful katana I’ve ever seen. The most beautiful one is his copper damascus one

[@caringthunder2153]

I think you need to make your self a sandwich

[@ampiegreeff3075]

I'd always been a HUGE fan of the copper but this is on a new level! It looks great. The sword came out really well though I am not a fan of the fuller. I am busy with a mod for Cyberpunk 2077, creating a black katana with a copper line through the blade. Because you were the inspiration I want to call it the Tyrell katana.

Works as an homage to Bladerunner too. I also loved the copper damascus, but this is also stunning work.

[@glidershower]

That's pretty badass, lolz. Hope it comes out great!

[@andersjjensen]

The jet black edge to silver to damascus transition was absolutely sweet, and I'm glad you did the fuller, as the repetition of silver further up gave it fantastic visual balance.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Thanks! I do like the black against the silver. The fuller was a late addition for weight and balance but they always look good in these layered constructions. Thanks for watching!

[@oculusangelicus8978]

I have been recommending several knife makers to make a silver pattern welded blade for a long time, because Silver is my favorite precious metal. I don't know if you are the first KZbinr knife maker to make one, but you're the first one I have seen make one successfully. Even if you had some melt out it makes no real difference because irregularity is the name of the game for pattern welding blades. Every part of this build is beautiful and for you to build and wrap the handle according to traditional Katana making in Japan, makes this build so beautiful, that I am struggling to find words that are proper. You did a fantastic job sir, as is always the case with your builds. Thanks for sharing, and I must add, that your build, even though you are a judge, will act as an example for other knife makers to follow. I think that your work is going to be one of the best in the challenge. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@WyvernSterlingLoftus]

I really love this silver and carbon steel katana you forged, and in the style you did, it is while still staying traditional. Beautiful work, and around my birthday no less last year. I love the copper cumai one you forged as well. But I am looking into swords and daggers I can buy online. But no one seems to have what I want. So I thought I'd ask you. First off. I'm pagan. Second, silver is very powerful, wards off evil, and is a very powerful conductor. Third, carbon steel has negative magnetic/conductive properties and stays sharp for a while. Fourth, I love fossils and desire blue and black opalized hardwood from Indonesia for a handle material that includes fluting with twisted silver islay in the flutes. And fifth. While I may not be ready to purchase and won't be for a while because I'm dirt poor at the moment, I would love both a parrying main goche dagger and a swept hilt rapier in the stile I just described similar to this katana. I prefer double-edged blades over single with a stabbing 7 I was wondering, though, it may be challenging if you could possibly make such weapons. my birthday is coming up, and I'm not asking for anything quite, yep. You actually may not be willing to take such a product on. But I'm asking if you can or think you could . So. Can you?

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

[@obamazadork]

Absolutely beautiful, and you should be so proud to have such skills. We've all seen the traditional methods of Japanese katana forging, and it surely makes even you appreciate the time and craftsmanship that was required back then to produce such works of art. From a pure metallurgy standpoint, how do these modern methods stack up against the ancient swords as far as strength, sharpness, craftsmanship, etc? From using their rare tamahagane steel forging, to the clays, rolling the billet in traditional straw, carbon hardening, multiple folds, etc. etc. I'm sure they would have appreciated the hydraulic press, electric tempering ovens, but do you think their entire process and exactness produced a better sword than can be made even today? Thanks again for your astounding work!

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

What the Japanese excel at is craftsmanship and effort. Tamahagane is actually far inferior to today’s modern steel. It was “folded” so many times to remove the rampant impurities. Also, it wasn’t rare, just time consuming for that age. The steel coming out of the Middle East and India at that time was leagues ahead. The Japanese certainly did the best with what they had at the time. Thanks for watching.

This is astronomically gorgeous, every part of it got my sight fixed to the screen, like a crow to it's objective 🤩🤗✴🌙✨

The way the gold shows in profile on the false edge is a really nice touch. Not a personal fan of the shape of the blade but for the purpose of bringing out the gold it was a fine choice. Well done sir!

I'm assuming you were commenting on the gold damascus knife? Thanks for watching.

[@sasquatchhadarock968]

Almost feel like honor demands such a blade should be a gift to the nation of Japan... 😮 Beautiful work, sir.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Ha, well this one is sold already, so no gift I’m afraid. 😉

You make the prettiest blades I’ve ever seen man. If you’d made something like this for me I’d never dream of ever using it, it’d be in a glass case in my house forever 😍

The grip is simply build different, the entire sword looks sick if it wasn’t illegal in my country to own weapons I would buy such a thing and go to a manga convention as flex😂😂
