Forging TWO damascus katanas!

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Which one is your favorite??

[@f.b.jeffers0n]

I'm going pink, because of the unique handle!

[@lumlangmawthoh7737]

Copper looks cool to me👌

[@Caffee_FBI]

I have question is it possible to make katana with cobalt instead of copper?

[@BarryTGash]

Father and daughter vigilante duo origin story :) Great blades - definitely going black, pink and silver.

[@Plantagenetsmiths]

Copper looks cool

[@mattewclubb5882]

I used to be very good at making knives! But after a while I slowly lost my interest, mad respect for you for keeping up the good work❤

[@dankaczor8965]

Man…the copper and silver look like a wave shape hamon line. Really nice to see it come out that way.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Yup, those chevron dies worked their magic! Thanks for watching.

[@reaperrt1019]

The silver is beautiful, but something about that copper and black makes it pop so much more. Great work brother.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Thanks for checking out this build!

[@MrMudtit]

Both swords are truly incredible. These blades look like they would have taken months to complete. You're a true artist.

[@isaacbenrubi9613]

Um... Dennis. My dude. WTF? These things are just flat out too beautiful. I hope your holidays are going wonderfully!

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Thanks so much! My holidays are nice and relaxing now that these are complete. 🤣. I hope yours are good too. Thanks for tuning in.

From hearing about these on your podcast, I was really looking forward to seeing them. I'm Not disappointed. Beautiful work!

Thanks so much, Jeff! I appreciate you tuning in!

@ yes sir!!!!

[@dirtyp.132]

These look amazing. the pink wrap not working was a lucky accident because it looks much much better with the pink stingray and black wrap than it would have otherwise, imo

Awesome! This customer must have been very wealthy. I wish I could afford a sword like this! I'm really digging the copper one because of the contrast. Both look bad ass though! Great job. Hope you had a wonderful holiday, and have a Happy New Year!

Thanks for the kind words. They were a fun commission. 😉.

[@AdoreYouInAshXI]

I was expecting the daughter to be like 16-17 years old. It's wild someone paid for a sword of that quality for a 8-10 year old! Well, it is an heirloom item and something she'll have for the rest of her life I bet. Can't say I'm not jealous, lol. Beautiful work as always. The silver one looks much better with pink samegawa rather than pink ito. I think that pink ito would have definitely cheapened the look of the item.

[@hassanjaved1904]

Nice new damascus ❤

"DOUBLE OR NOTHING" Dennis several weeks ago after losing a katana making contest:

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

[@6Sally5]

Boy…favorite is a total toss up! They are both beyond stunning. The copper is more fitting for the father, whereas silver is gorgeously feminine. Incredible craftsmanship, as usual, Denis!

[@lesleybruner1008]

Never heard of dipping the stell in gasoline that is an interesting concept does it do something different to the metal or just help it heat faster either way beautiful blades

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

It’s kerosene, not gasoline. Gasoline would not end well. 🤣. The kerosene burns off and aids in the forge welding of the steel. Thanks for watching.

[@lorneclose7312]

While I absolutely detest pink I am a sucker for silver

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

It does really pop! Thanks for watching.

[@DeathclawJedi]

I've seen copper sheet before but where in the blazes do you find pure silver in thin sheets like that?

[@killerbern666]

these are absolutely gorgeous, i also very appreciate the explanation of various details during the video! is the price of those public? my guess would be 20k each

[@jaketomas1234]

Beautiful craftmansship as always, but it just goes to show that if the customer's taste and requests are bad, you get what you get lol.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

I kinda like the pink one more actually. 😉. Thanks for watching

[@glebtcheslavski1085]

Also meant to say that a little "orange belt" got herself a very serious weapon! 😉 Thank you again!

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Yeah she did! Thanks for watching.

[@dewaynefeehrer4834]

Does the copper adhere to the steel? I didn't think it would.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Yes, it bonds very well. It’s more like copper brazing. Thanks for watching.

[@ballistic350]

Man I wanna try forging so bad... id take both katanas.. 🔥

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Give it a try! Thanks for tuning in.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

[@kilmone]

Is it possible to forge any blade out of tungsten? Great work as usual, aswell 😊

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Tungsten is actually quite brittle. It gets hard, but it would make a terrible blade unfortunately. Thanks for watching.

[@georgegeorgiev2610]

The silver one is amazing! How much did it cost the customer?

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

The pair was $17k. Thanks for watching.

[@vandengaaskjolen1821]

75% enjoy living vicariously through your skill, 25% really want a rolling mill 😄

To save u some time on your next guard inlay I saw u cut the channel by hand with an engraver some top notch tools and inserts could cut that groove on the lathe.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Yeah true, though I’m typically not doing perfect concentric circles like that. I’ve used a thin cutoff disc in the past for stuff like this. The pneumatic engraver is oddly satisfying though. 😉. Thanks for watching.

[@_crypt]

curse youtube for not reccomending me this earlier

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Actually this video was just released a couple hours ago. 😉. Thanks for tuning in!

[@NelsonJ1]

Very nice. If she gets a sword as an orange belt you're going to have quite the build if she gets a black belt.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Ha, right?! Thanks for watching

[@jackn2236]

Beautiful blades, shame you had to remake one but I believe there is a saying, "You're not a real blade smith if you don't have any failures..." Or something like that. That ending was nice but there is one part that was done wrong unless done during a time of war. When you give a Katana to someone, there is a traditional etiquette to follow. At the very least, apart from obvious things like not pointing the blade at others, the person handing over the Katana should. 1- Hold the sword with both hands. 2- Have the Tsuka (handle) towards their left during times of peace. 3- The blade's edge is towards themselves. 4- When handing over the sword, bend forward slightly as a gesture of respect. The problem is how they did part 2, as you are viewing a time of peace, you would hold the Katana with the Tsuka towards your left as a symbol of peace signifying that you have no hostile intentions. Historically, it is not unusual to have the Tsuka towards your right when doing this but that was during the war eras.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

They did that part, I had no idea which was correct. Thanks for watching.

[@michaelmorrison4843]

Great job on those katanas Denis! But, what happened to your left hand? 🤔😯

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Ha, I don’t even remember how that happened. Thanks for watching.

[@RobertPascale]

Personally, I love the copper cu mai!! I’m currently having a custom straight razor made and it is double copper layered..😍 How much do you charge for a sword like this?

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

These start at around $8k. Thanks for watching.

[@RobertPascale]

@ you’re making me wish I had 8K extra lying around!! Beautiful work sir!!

[@dante7228]

If I ordered one from you it would have to be made out of cardboard due to my budget limitations.... Awesome blades!

Having the tang that narrow will hurt the balance. And I am not seeing distill taper.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

The tang is per spec for a katana of this length. The blade tapers from .24” to around .19” at the kiseki. This isn’t my first rodeo. 😉

[@Ironheadforge]

@@TyrellKnifeworks Hey there, that is a good measurement for the taper, couldn't see it and you didn't speak of it. Still don't like the Tang shape and size. I know it is not your first rodeo, I have enjoyed your content. Love all your knife work, just not crazy about your some of your katana builds, such as having a flat top habaki. But hey everyone builds the way they want and that is what is nice about the craft. Beautiful steel though.

[@Ironheadforge]

Setting watching your video while sipping on bourbon at the end of the day, just finished a katana build myself. Probably should have finished the video before commenting, didn't realize your tang was in the Kiji Momo Gata style. Just rarely see that one used. Great work. Still don't like the Habaki style...lol

[@BrunoWiebelt]

its a fantasy saber - not a katana

Ha Tyrell would rose gold work for something like this? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
