[@melvincoetzee4151]

@@TyrellKnifeworks what will it cost to make me a custom short sord? Please im very interested?

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

@@melvincoetzee4151 I just answered your email with the same response. Sorry but I’m not taking custom orders, particularly repeats of other blades I’ve done. This is just a hobby and I focus mostly on KZbin. I have a day job so don’t have the time to also take on custom orders.

[@RedDeckRedemption]

@@TyrellKnifeworks bro you're blades are something else, especially the copper Damascus. Make money for yourself instead of someone else, and enjoy life in the process. You can easily make a very comfortable amount a month just from 2-3 copper damascus blades.

Ahhh Yes! This was epic. Huge congrats Tyrell, all looks stunning

[@markkraus3598]

The part that was damaged falls under the category “the artist is the only one that knows where the flaws are”. How long did it take to make this ? The work,attention to detail & symmetry is incredible!! Good luck w/the challenge!!

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

I lost count but around 60 hours in this build I think. Thanks for watching, Mark!

[@zenyeetah_678]

I've spent a lot of time on the blacksmithing part of KZbin and this unquestionably one of the most beautiful damascus patterns I have ever seen. Something about the sharp contrasts of black and white with this particular pattern really make this piece pop. Truly a work of art.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Thanks so much! I appreciate you taking a look.

[@BlackringIII]

Three hours ago! I can't believe I'm here to see the birth of a beautiful new dagger and not three years late! 😂. You've really outdone yourself this time, got me convinced.

[@liquid24]

Hey, so I hear that you say quillion. I just wanted to point out that it's actually spelt and pronounced "Quillon." No 'ion' at the end. It _can_ be spelt that way, but it's less common. I've also heard a lot of other black smiths say quillion as well. I'm currently working on a book, and I used the word. It tried to auto correct it, and so, curious, I looked it up and was surprised to find that it was spelt quillon. And whether you say quillion, or quillon, it doesn't change the fact that that is an absolutely beautiful blade. Keep up the great work dude.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

@@liquid24 yeah, I know it’s pronounced more like “key-own” dagger. It just sounds a bit pretentious like that. 😜. Kind of like how Americans pronounce foyer improperly but it becomes the norm. (Pronounced “fwhy-ay” not “foy-er”)

[@omnomshibob]

@@liquid24 It's just anglicised because the French accent sounds incredibly weird to pronounce to a non-French speaking person. I can speak more French than any other language bar English but I absolutely cannot do the accent without feeling like I'm making a complete muppet of myself.

[@Fambamm-ib6pw]

No disrespect for any of the other builds or the smith's who made them, but in my opinion you out did every dagger by far not even in the same league.

[@liquid24]

@@Fambamm-ib6pw When I looked at the doc, I thought the same thing. Like, yeah, the rest of them were amazing and all, but Tyrell's was just _on_ _another_ _level_

I don't really know the first thing about it technically but I'm so moved by the process and the finished product is just astonishing.

[@theNimboo]

It is incredible how you are able to mentally keep track of what is happening with the layers through all those steps!! I had no idea it was so difficult to achieve these patterns! The graphics you provide really help a lot, I can imagine what is going on. I didn't realize forge men could create these patterns with real metal like this! I used to think they just carved in patterns afterwards or something, but the steal was solid blocks. It is so much more satisfying to realize that they are true metals running through there. Amazing video please keep making them, I really love your stuff.

Wow, true knifemaking artistry. I kept thinking of the feud between the Montagues & Capulets in Shakespeare's *Romeo and Juliet* . Good job!

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

I hadn’t thought of Shakespeare. That’s an interesting comparison. Thanks for watching

[@kenglass1980]

Stunning. Black Beauty..... Thanks for showing and highlighting mistakes and design changes.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

I call this one NightShade. It had its issues like any build, but came together nicely I think. Thanks for watching!

First knife video I've seen with cross-sections of the billet, thanks for the visualisation!

Great watching a master at work. I do enjoy watching videos like this. I live in the UK and I can't see myself ever having a go at something like this myself but I find it fascinating.

This video popped in my feed and I'm glad it did. It's nice to watch a blade smith forge and show their talent and imagination. I recently watched a video of someone making a reimagined medieval mandalorian helmet and was punching the heated metal with him gloved fist. That was the first time I've ever given a thumbs down on a video in years.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Yeah that’s a little over the top effects for a video. Real blacksmiths use hammers and tongs. 😜 Thanks for checking out this build, Mikhiel!

[@robertmason7971]

Truly fine work and an award winning process. Thank you...

Thanks for watching, Robert! Please watch all the builds and vote. 👍

Stunning design, and much appreciated explanation along with the diagrams throughout the video…

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Thanks for checking it out! I'm glad the graphics are helpful.

[@thegoodfooddude7395]

You know you explaining how you patterened the Damascus was so informative. Like I never understood how someone could predict the pattern that would come out, but you explaining along the way with little infographics made it so easy to understand. You really have a brilliant mind. Have you ever considered teaching because you seem like you would do really well at passing along this knowledge to others. Great video! hope you did well in the challenge since I am seeing this well like 6 months after this video went live.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Thanks so much, John! I’m also a PADI scuba instructor so teaching isn’t new for me. Though my day job has nothing to do with teaching. Thanks for watching!

[@brickroadbladeworks4630]
