Forging Three Copper Damascus Ka-Bar Knives - The Complete Video

@@TyrellKnifeworks I appreciate the sentiment behind your choices , KZbin is on a roll recommending me small creators of high quality 👌🏼 -- Also @ 23:57 Have you ever considered using those phlebotomist elastic tourniquets you can buy in bulk for when you have unique shapes to compress while resin sets? 24:29 Hmmm... maybe spinning grippy logs on a lathe is a bad idea... putting that one on the drawing board .. 25:25 Nice indeed.

[@jackrichards1863]

Magnificent. I prefer a single piece for daily battle knife. And you will know how much beating Damascus will tolerate. My shotgun came apart a little. But it looks brilliant as you produced it. I would love to be the fortunate new owner getting one. Particularly the full size Ka bar.

these knives are beautiful! i recently purchased a damascus blade from a local knifemaker, and i really love the way they look. nice job on everything that you do. i've been watching your videos for the past couple days while working out and they're really fun to watch. before this one, i watched the copper damascus katana one. you've earned yourself a sub. keep up the awesome work man :)

[@baronblansit]

As a Marine, I love these. I have a full-size Kabar myself and it's a great knife that works well. Yours would make a beautiful display. Thank you for the video. I know they are functional, but at the same time the pride of your craft has created a piece of art to be enjoyed for generations to come. I would buy two as a family heirloom for myself as well as my twin brother (also a Marine).

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Thanks so much for checking out the build! And thank you and your brother for your service!

[@sirsir9665]

Damascus is only somewhat functional. It lacks strength by a lot and couldn't be used as you would a normal k bar.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

@@sirsir9665 I’m not sure why you think that. The Damascus is as strong as it’s base metal. If you are referring to the copper layers, that’s just a think sheet over a 1095 high carbon steel core. The knife is very functional for sure.

[@DoraTheMFDestroya]

@@sirsir9665 well you're just wrong.

[@joshuabartley5226]

Kex, my uncle is a Marine and he gave me a award he got ( I have it put up and can’t remember right off the top of my head what it is for) but it has a kbar attached to it and it’s cool as hell looking. I have a couple of them but that one obviously means the most.

I've been making Ka-Bars for a while and have tried various ways of gluing up and removing handles for grinding. I'm stealing your idea! Thank you for sharing! I find that the sharpie ink will bleed under sweat so I burn the leather with a propane torch and sand the remainder back down. Seems to work much better.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

I’m glad you found the video helpful. Thanks for watching, Larry!

[@swaderaylynn3084]

Use a round tip wood burner. Decrease sanding time.

[@Mr88Andrew88]

Why not just use slightly smaller diameter leather bits for the grooves and then sand them smooth once it’s squished together?

And of course on the day I get the forge finished it decides to put 12 inches of snow on the ground. I haven't been able to take it out of my garage because it is a coal forge. I'm not going to use it inside because I don't want to breathe in the smoke/fumes from the burning coal.

[@todddenio3200]

@@TyrellKnifeworks I have made some knives in te past but have never done damascus successfully but have tried to make it. Maybe its because I do my forging on an antique coal fired forge, hand held hammer and an ancient beat up anvil. No money to get or build a gas forge or improve my other equipment since Im disabled and only have a very small monthly income from it and I cant do much at a time before I have to stop and take a break so I dont do much of the forgework anymore so the expense of improving my setup would not make much sense.

I also remember they cost the taxpayer $2.50 each! But then again cigarettes on the ship while underway were only $2.50 a carton (25 cents a pack). My how times have changed. You do great work.

Sie fertigen schöne und durchaus auch brauchbare Messer. Was ich besonders an Ihren Videos mag ist, daß Sie die einzelnen Arbeitsschritte gut darstellen und man den Entstehungsprozeß gut nachvollziehen kann. Dabei gefällt mir am meisten, daß Sie Messer schmieden und nicht aus einem Rohling herausschneiden und schleifen. Ich hatte einen Kollegen, der gelernter Schmied war. Ihm hatte ich so oft ich konnte beim Schmieden zugeschaut und ihn praktisch mehr als ein Loch in den Bauch gefragt. Er hat mir dann auch ab und zu die Möglichkeit gegeben, selbst an Esse und Ambos zu stehen und kleine Schmiedearbeiten durchzuführen. Es war so ein wahnsinnig gutes Gefühl, zu sehen und zu spüren wie unter meinen Händen ein Stück Stahl zu etwas Neuem wurde. Schmieden ist eins der ältesten Handwerke, die heute noch existieren und dabei noch ein sehr schönes. Nochmals vielen Dank für die Videos.

just a little advice from an old machinist. Keep the working end of your stock as clos as you can to your chuck in the lathe. It will prevent damage and serious injury. If it doesn't fit through the chuck , just cut shorter pieces. It will also prevent chatter. Love your work, well done

I’m a huge fan & big student of yours Denis. As a Welder for 45 yrs. I have a hack for you: wrap your blades with cardboard and tape for a bit of insulation. Then use 2 small pieces of copper to clamp the pieces you want tacked together. Pace your ground clamp on the clamp that is holding the pieces to be tacked make your tack… then if you need to, you can move the setup and reset it. The setup seems like a hassle, but it is the best electrical conduction for a good weld, your assuring proper alignment for the stud, and you wont run the risk of accidentally arcing your blade. Heck you don’t even need a bench to weld it then- you can do it in your lap…

Thanks for watching the channel, Brady! I’ll consider that hack in the future. 👍

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Thanks so much! I appreciate you checking out the build!

[@michaelheong166]

You make great looking knives. ..and I think the best part is when you put on your maker's mark. The shark logo.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Thanks for checking out the build, Michael!

[@GodseyKnives]

wow a press sure pulls the heat out of a piece thinner they get the faster they cool . Good video !

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Yeah, that's the downside of a press vs a power hammer. But it sure is quieter than a power hammer! Thanks for watching!

Stunning Ka-bar sir. My father is a former Marine. Survivor of the Chosin Reservoir. He's coming up to his 80th Birthday, interested in having one made for him. Thanks.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Sorry, Christian, but I can’t do custom orders right now. I’m just a hobbyist who focuses on KZbin so I just don’t have the capacity to also do custom orders. Thanks for watching.

[@ChristianThomas-wf5dl]

@@TyrellKnifeworks thank you for responding, understood. If your in a position to do so, please let me know. Many Thanks.

[@stevel6895]

Amazing stuff, and amazing talent. Between knife making videos and restoration videos, I'm spending way too much time on KZbin these days ...
