As a man in his 60s, I could think of a lot of things this would be good for. Thanks for sharing.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

It’s pretty useful and fun! Thanks for watching.

[@RedBeardOps]

DUde! You have more sawy then me. They asked me and I did the same thing... asked for this microscope! LOL - They were like... "naw" --- I'm jealous, looks awesome!

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Maybe you just asked after I did and they didn’t want duplicates. 🤷‍♂️. It’s a pretty good machine and helped a lot. Wearing loupes is a pain in the ass. 😜

[@stephenjohnson6841]

Looks like it's going to gee a great addition to you're shop! Can't wait to see the good inlay on your next project!

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

I’m still deciding what will be the first project. 🤔. Thanks for watching, Stephen

[@soon4829]

Tyrellroyerknifes huh? Already excited to see your knifes!

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Thanks for taking a look!

[@playwithmatters7676]

I'm actually very surprised that a knifemaker of your level recommends that brand. I own some of this brand's products, and i find that they always do what they're supposed to do, for VERY cheap. That's a great way for beginners to get started for a small amount of money. By the way, you have inspired me to do what i do today, and a lot of other people. Thank you !!! (your damascus katana was absolutely stunning by the way)

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

It’s a great product with a good price point. Certainly more than I expected for the price. Thanks for watching and following the channel!

[@soon4829]

yeah that katana was absolutely crazy! And now imagine what he will do with the engraving!

[@subhankarghosh5787]

Kyle Royer MS is a great craftsman. His skills can show some toughest works looks so easy. Like his guard fitting, inlays, gun blueing etc

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

He certainly has earned his Master title! One of my biggest inspirations for sure. Thanks for watching

[@subhankarghosh5787]

@@TyrellKnifeworks I think kyle Royer, Josh Smith and few other smiths works and craftsmanship is beyond the title of MASTER SMITH

[@erikcourtney1834]

That’s going to make it so much easier. I haven’t made any knifes in a couple months. Kinda feel bad about it, just been so busy with other projects and excavating work.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

This is much easier than wearing a loupe for sure. I’m just starting to do wire inlays so I’m excited about the possibilities!

[@mulanjamilah7849]

I just bought a used Olympus and for standard I modified it with a tv bracket. bracket function is exactly the same as yours, and all is well. the difference is in the price only 😁😁

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

That’s great, whatever works. 👍. Thanks for watching.

[@user-uq9bq7kk9p]

Nice video.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Thanks for watching!

[@FieryFeatherForge]

Hey Denis. Curious what engraver you have or would recommend? I looked through your tools list but didn’t see it.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

The pneumatic engraver I have and recommend is a Lindsay AirGraver. It’s about $1800 though. Thanks for watching.

[@Thebigmanmetaldetecting]

When your using the engraver move your hand up so that it is off of the engraving bit and it will work a lot more smoothly and you will get better control over it, hope this helps and keep up the good work

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

I’ll give it a try! Thanks for the tip and for watching.

[@neilwalker3204]

I have a couple of Vevor products, i find their products quite good and robust..

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

I was really happy with this one. Thanks for watching, Neil!

[@neilwalker3204]

@@TyrellKnifeworks I watch all your stuff.. :)

[@genekunkel8001]

would it be simpler to melt the silver or gold in and let it flow once you pushed it part of the way in giving a nice even finish?

[@erikcourtney1834]

No because the chance of you getting a perfect pour is very low.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

In addition to what Erik said, the melting point of silver is 1735F and gold is 1950F. It’s not that easy to get molten material in either state enough to “pour” into it. It’s MUCH easier to form it into the space. Thanks for watching

[@8ank3r]

Great job as always man, can't wait to see the gold stuff. What about lightning on a plain hc knife of inlaid silver? What do you think?

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Yeah that could be done. You’d just have to do the inlay before HT and hope the quench doesn’t screw it up. Thanks for watching!

[@8ank3r]

@@TyrellKnifeworks is it impossible to do after it?

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

@@8ank3r no, not impossible. You’d have to use a special graver that would cut hardened steel. It will be tough engraving though.

[@8ank3r]

@@TyrellKnifeworks maybe on a differentially quenched blade near the spine. I'll leave you alone about it though. Too much work for too little result

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

@@8ank3r Yes, that might work if you had a differential heat treat. I suspect you'd still need a something other than HSS gravers for that since its harder than mild steel. It could work though.

[@mulanjamilah7849]

hello, this is what I'm looking for about inlays. but I failed when the inlay was on wide media even though it was only in the shape of a circle, is there any Vidio inlay on wide media. I'm a beginner and want to engrave coins. I hope there is a video, maybe a little picture of how to make a trench for wide media, that's my problem

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

I’m not sure what you mean by “wide” media. You need to inlay a large area? That is usually done by carving out that area and putting dovetail grooves over the bottom and pressing rows of wire into it. I’ve never done it myself though.

It’s a Lindsay AirGraver. Check the intro video I did, it has all the links.

Good Morning 🙏

Hey Matt, thanks for watching.

[@franbspg215]

hello!!, I love your content, it is incredible and how beautiful the forge is, someday you could make a video, forging a sai, it is a Japanese weapon, which is also used in shaolin kung fu, I would be very excited to see how it is would forge the sai. Cheers!!! and many congratulations for your content !!, it is incredible😁😁😊

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

I’m very familiar with the sai. I used to have a pair when I took Kung Fu in my younger days. It would be an interesting build, maybe in the future. Thanks for watching!
