Any questions or things you want to see as part of this course?

[@bspoelma]

I caught a glimpse of Kyle Royers cool Griffin Sword shirt, is there a collaboration coming?

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

@@bspoelmahaha, no collab planned, I just was a lucky winner of the shirt. 😉

[@rhazuul]

Finally!!! A maker that has the right lighting to show us where the hammer blows are landing and what they do to the steel. THANK YOU!!!!!! You just got one more sub sir!

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Welcome to the channel! Thanks for tuning in.

[@murraymakesstuff]

I really appreciate this series. So many makers have moved onto tools and machines that many of us can't afford, so it's nice to get this instruction. 🙂

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

I’m glad it’s helpful! Thanks for following along. ❤️

[@erikcourtney1834]

Regardless if we have the machines or not It’s still rewarding watching someone else make a beautiful piece with old techniques and skillful brute labor.

[@glebtcheslavski1085]

Dennis, thank you for starting this series. Looking forward to watch the process. 🙂

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Hope you enjoy it! Thanks for watching

[@bobgore1962]

I'm super excited for this series, Denis! I'm planning on doing my first big Bowie build, right after BLADE SHOW, so this is perfect timing! Thanks for sharing my brother! 😎👍🏻🔨🔥🔪

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Glad it’ll help you out, Bob! I hope you can make it to Blade.

[@BigSteve93015]

Gotta say your Surface Grinder is so worth it. Cleaned up 20 blades post heat treat in no time yesterday.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Glad to hear it! I'll be using it in the next episode of this series. 😉

[@SaintGalganoArmory]

W-2 is one of my favorite steels, and I LOVE doing a hamon. I cant wait to see all the details on future videos, and then seeing how this can help me improve!

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Thanks for following this series! Stay tuned for all the tips and deep dives. 👍

[@MASI_forging]

This is a great series. I looks forward to your next project 👍👍

[@theriversexperience9383]

Another great series begins!

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Thanks, Erick!

[@1jesussaves2jesusliv]

I don't make knives, I just like watching the process of making them and seeing the beautiful end result.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Thank you for following along!

[@SonoraSlinger]

Borderline Walter Sorels intro. I like it. Great build, well done video. Thank you for your time, sir. 🔥💪⚒️🗡️

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Thanks for checking out this series! I'll take the Walter comparison as a bonus. 😉

[@Ccsontos]

Looking forward to this series Denis!

Grazie Maestro🙏

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Grazie per seguirci!

[@erikcourtney1834]

I’m not sure what you did different with the lighting but the steel temps look much closer to what they are in person. Maybe slightly lower but much more accurate

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

I have the shop door closed and the AC on so it's a bit darker. Gotta love the induction forge for that aspect! Thanks for watching, Erik.

[@gundanium3126]

I like to use a heavy hammer (4 lbs) to start the tang and then go to a lighter hammer to get it to shape, but I also like to start with the tang. i also do a lot more work with the hammer as i dont have the best grinder. This is another great video.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Like I said in the beginner video, it depends on the stock I’m starting with. If I’m working off a bar like this, I’d do the blade first. Then just cut off after the tang. If I have a finite piece of steel already cut, I might start with the tang and then the knife is just “the rest”. Thanks for following along.

[@gundanium3126]

@@TyrellKnifeworks (sorry going on very little sleep today and am rambling a bit) I know some smiths like to hold there stock when they forge it out, but i dont i prefer to hold it in tongs, and I tend to mostly stock 12-inch by 2-inch by 1/4th inch after i learned it is the cheapest size to get shipped (or a chunk of Ford leaf spring since I can get that at the local junkyard ...or 1-inch round stock as i like turning it flat despite not having a press) so I mostly work with a finite size.

[@BamaDanKnives]

Wow thanks !!

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Thanks for following along, Dan!

[@brysonalden5414]

With all your wonderful tools I'm really surprised you don't have a guillotine tool! Finally, something I have that you don't! I use mine almost every day.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Yeah, I really should get off my butt an order one. 🤣. Thanks for watching, Bryson

[@brysonalden5414]

@@TyrellKnifeworks Heck, make one! Even I can do it.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

@brysonalden5414 it’s a matter of do I want to spend the time on it rather than buy it. I think I’d rather just buy one.

[@awforge]

@@TyrellKnifeworksyesteryear forge makes a great one!

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

@@awforgeI already pulled the trigger on one from blacksmith depot.

[@devonayotte8630]

Have you noticed any significant increase in your power bill using the induction heater?

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Nope, none at all. It’s extremely efficient and it’s only “on” when your are pressing the foot pedal. There is no cheaper forging method. Thanks for watching.

[@Blake-im3vg]

Induction forge!!?? So cool

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Thanks for checking it out, Blake!

[@peacemaker-du4hz]

ive always wanted a bowie made in the original patern that was made for mr bowie himself from back in the old days with the coffin handle

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

This certainly is not the traditional Bowie profile and a bit more modern. Maybe someday I’ll do the traditional version. Thanks for watching.

[@peacemaker-du4hz]

@@TyrellKnifeworks if you ever do decide on a traditional one I'd consider spending the money to get it 😍💰

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

@@peacemaker-du4hz I am taking commissions. If you want one, email me and let's discuss. 👍🏻

[@jaywethington1934]

Hey Tyrell, unrelated question: what are your thoughts on kukuri knives?

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

I love kukri's. I've built one before, a more modern take on it at least. I've actually been meaning to do another one soon. They are a bit challenging to grind because of the inside curve but they are great camp knives and excel at chopping. Thanks for watching, Jay.

[@PourMeAnother]

Excellent. That almost looks like the SOG knife I'm making. Can't wait for more!! I moved my knife making videos to a new channel. @cmcustomknifeworks
