Which one is your favorite??
I'm going pink, because of the unique handle!
Copper looks cool to me👌
I have question is it possible to make katana with cobalt instead of copper?
Father and daughter vigilante duo origin story :)
Great blades - definitely going black, pink and silver.
Copper looks cool
Man…the copper and silver look like a wave shape hamon line. Really nice to see it come out that way.
Yup, those chevron dies worked their magic! Thanks for watching.
Finally, someone who explains what he is doing and the reasons why. Thank you. nice work.
Thanks for watching, Peter!
Looks like blood sweat and tears in this one. It must be one of your favorite pieces..As always thank you for your time sir.
THANK YOU! I really appreciate that! ❤️❤️❤️
Those are works of art that anyone would be so lucky to display at their home, office, dojo, etc.
Thanks so much for tuning in!
display??? those are real blades by good man- just as sharp and durable as a traditional tamahagane katana, probably more so frankly. Im expecting 2 hours a day cutting practice from that little lady after school! (speaking as a martial arts instructor/national judo competitor).. train hard, fight easy.
Ok maybe with dads supervision to be fair... atleast for the first year or 2.
maintained properly, it will lose none of its beauty.
You really put your heart into making these swords, and I just want to say-well done! Seriously, great work!
Thanks for the kind words, they are much appreciated!
From hearing about these on your podcast, I was really looking forward to seeing them. I'm Not disappointed. Beautiful work!
Thanks for listening to the podcast and watching!
Flabbergasted as usual! Just got my first forge! Cant wait to do things like this! Thank you sir for the inspiration.
Glad I can inspire you to try it out!
Um... Dennis. My dude. WTF? These things are just flat out too beautiful.
I hope your holidays are going wonderfully!
Thanks so much! My holidays are nice and relaxing now that these are complete. 🤣. I hope yours are good too. Thanks for tuning in.
Both swords are truly incredible. These blades look like they would have taken months to complete. You're a true artist.
They did take a while. Around 6-8 weeks for both. Thanks for tuning in.
The silver is beautiful, but something about that copper and black makes it pop so much more. Great work brother.
Thanks for checking out this build!
I didn't think the daughter would be that young, I was expecting someone in their 20's. That's one awesome dad to give something like that at that age.
He was quite cool to commission such a blade for his young daughter. Thanks for watching.
Ролик достоин внимания и лайка! Создателю огромный респект и уважение! Смотрел с удовольствием, хоть и с костылями через VPN
Спасибо большое! Я ценю, что вы посмотрели.
That are real pieces of art, made by an artist with know how and explain what it is and where it is for. Thank you for showing, it was a real pleasure to watch you working on it and to see the result, greetz from the Netherlands.
Thanks for tuning in, Christian!
My favorite? No question , the little ninja and her grampa! Great work !
Thanks for tuning in, Ron!
Brother you truly are an INCREDIBLY humble and talented maker. Love your work. Bravo 🙌🏽
Thanks so much, Jeff! I appreciate you tuning in!
@ yes sir!!!!
These came out incredible! I love how the copper/silver visually recreate the look of a hamon.
Thanks for checking these out!
I love how you explain the process.
Thanks for tuning in, Tony!
hey i couldnt be here for a loooong time. i was watching every video and commented on allof them because you said youll reply to all and you really did. but life as a homeless isnt that easy. ive had my phone breaking down, then some work, couldnt buy a phone, but now after a long time im back. nice to see what wonderfull things youve made in the meantime.
Thanks so much for following the channel. I hope things turn around for you.
This is the most beautiful sword I have ever seen I would literally give one of my fingers for a piece like this. Or any piece of his I would give anything that have something to carry with me at all times. This is the best knife maker but I've ever seen their works of art thank you so much for what you do sir
Knocked it out of the park sir !!
Gorgeous, art, pure art !
You're a master !
I appreciate you taking a look!
I love these both. What an amazing commission and incredible work!
Thank you so much! I appreciate you taking a look.
Absolutely Beautiful man BRAVO !!!! Love them both but I got to go with the copper one. Love your work .
Thanks for the kind words, it was a fun project!
These videos always come out at the best times. Love the work and showing the whole process, makes me want to try blacksmithing
Ha, well there is some planning on the release dates. 😉. Thanks for watching.
Remarkable Craftsmanship. A work of Art 👍👍
Thanks for tuning in, Jerry!
the copper ones pattern reminded me of the beach .very beautiful thanks for sharing
Thank you! Cheers!
the skill set and talent you have is immense
Thanks so much! I appreciate you watching.
I love the ending, when they received the Katanas, so cool!
I’m glad we got to do a presentation for them!
I liked that you participated. It closed the birth cycle of those katanas from inception to the hands of the final owners.
true blessing having free education. thank you
Thanks for watching, Brian!
I can’t believe this has been available to watch for two entire hours before I’ve seen this. I’ve lived in a world where this video exists and I haven’t watched it for two whole hours, and I’m not sure how to live with that
🤣 well I’m glad you found it! Thanks for tuning in.
I love the copper and black. It looks like a super hero sword! Both are amazing though! Beautiful work!
Thanks for tuning in, Joe!
Dude these are incredible. I know how much work goes into my crappy little knives so I can only imagine...
S tier craftsmanship.
Thanks for tuning in! It takes quite a while to make even a small knife, swords can get ridiculous. 🤪
@TyrellKnifeworks been tuning in for a bit. Just finishing up your surface grinder build now! 🤘
This was Just my thought process with the Ito-wrap: maybe getting some white lace similar to what some shoelaces are made of and then dyeing them pink but I completely understand the time crunch and everything still came out amazing and I actually really enjoyed it
I think the pink underneath actually works better. Thanks for watching.
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❤
Thanks for tuning in!
Train hard little lady - I wish you all the best! starting this young is so helpful for a good martial arts career and the life skills it brings. I stated at 7, im old and crippled now, and my skills and training are the difference between living a reasonably normal life and being in a wheel chair/mobility scooter.. its not all about winning fights, its about determination, inner strength, and physical well being, and those will be with you all your life.Also beautiful work as always mr Tyrell.
Thank you so much!! I hope she continues and does well at her art. Thanks for watching.
This has got to be my new favorite katana build video because I've had this idea in my head for years and you literally did it with the copper just sucks now I know someone has one before me lmfao but amazing hopefully soon I can commission you to make me one soon
Thanks for watching, I appreciate the kind words!
Suatu kepuasan melihat video anda dari awal sampai habis, amazing job👍👍
Terima kasih banyak telah mendengarkan!
They are both very beautiful works of art I’m glad they both love the swords 😍
Thanks for tuning in!
Great work great finished product. Amazing!
Thank you! Cheers!
That ribbon burner is really holding up very well.
Yup it sure is! Thanks for watching.
This is stunning, I’m amazed about your craft👏🏼👍🏼
Thanks so much 😊
Those are beautiful !!!! .. I'm JUST NOW getting into knife making and hope to eventually have the tools and skills to make something even half as beautiful as these !
Keep at it, you'll get there! Thanks for watching.
Came out sweet looking that pink pops out nicely also
I like the pink too! Thanks for checking it out.
Awesome build! Thank you for everything.
Thanks for your support and trust! 🙏
Always looking forward to your builds. This certainly did not disappoint😁
Glad to hear it! Thanks for tuning in!
My man back with my favorite thing ever, these are beautiful. I would really love to see you take one of these and engrave additional branches off the natural windy copper layer to solder in copper to make it look like a long tendril of lightning running down the blade. If I was anything more than a broke bloke I'd commission it.
I’m not sure how copper soldered in would withstand the heat treat. I’ll have to ponder that one. Thanks for watching.
@@TyrellKnifeworks No, you're right, solder's melting point would be too low, perhaps inlaying the same copper from the forging, but that would be adding a ton of extra labor.
While I have you, I was wondering why you didn't use copper for the pink Katana? If you got the copper to oxidize into copper(I) oxide (Cu2O), it would actually turn pink. :)
@@7sevin7I’ve done a copper patina and turned it pink before. It’s not a very durable finish though.
That roller looks like a godsend...gorgeous pieces as per ususal...
It definitely is a godsend! Thanks for tuning in.
These blades are gorgeous 🥹. I wish I could afford such a delicate piece of work one day ❤
Maybe one day! Thanks for watching!
Wow.... So beautiful both katana
Thanks, I appreciate you tuning in!
You are the best sir. Good job 👏
Thanks so much! I appreciate you taking a look.
Hope your hand is ok, looks like a decent cut. Great explanation on your process as always.
It was actually just a light scratch, but seemed to bleed a lot. 🤷♂️. Thanks for watching.
WOW Denis great work.Awesome job…
Thanks for checking it out, Mom!
The copper one is a stunner!
Thanks for checking them out!
you knocked it out of the park, nice job
Thanks for checking them out!
Всегда с огромным удовольствием смотрю ваши видео. Большой респект и уважение мастеру. Удачи и развития вам и вашему каналу. ****** I always enjoy watching your videos. Great respect and respect for the master. Good luck and development to you and your channel. 👌👌👌👍👍👍❤❤❤
Спасибо большое! Я ценю, что вы настроились!
Absolutely beautiful, as always!
Glad you enjoyed them!
Both great! Nice pair. Perfect for 2 sword style. 😊
Thanks for checking them out!
Just wow those are incredible
Thanks for checking them out, Gino!
Excellent work wow
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful pieces of art. Wonderful job. Thank you for sharing the build. HNY
Thanks for tuning in!
You do beautiful work. I love both, but I think the copper just pops!
Thanks for tuning in!
Beautiful job man those are some beautiful pieces!
Thank you kindly, Auston.
These are so beautiful.
Thanks for taking a look!
Dennis, what gas forge do you use in the video? How do you like it, and would you buy that same one again, or a different one? I like the sliding door; I see very few gas forges with a sliding door, either from the top or the side.
Well I built that forge. You can watch the build here: th-cam.com/video/xL8waDrGVlY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=kIZEgoLt4gPnALQS. Thanks for watching.
Wat.ched this in the art gallery I'm a member of, and both would hang nicely here! Super work, Denis
Thanks, Bryson! These were a tough build but came out nice I think.
Eline sağlık dayı.. ikiside muhteşem.. seçim yapmak imkansız..
😍
İzlediğiniz için çok teşekkürler!
Remind me pf the bronz damascus katana a while back
Nvm that pink is a crime
That katana a while back was also copper actually. Thanks for checking these out!
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
Yes, I think so too. Thanks for tuning in.
Wow ! Amazing as always sir !
Thank you so much 😀
True pieces of art
Thanks for checking them out!
Amazing work !!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Very nicely done
Thank you! Cheers!
id like to see some of the reasons why you opted for lower heats aside from the melting points, i think it would be helpful to know what copper for instance oxidizes alot at high heat and as a finicky issue bonding to steel because of this as well as the different thermal expansions that create alot of stress in the metal that de laminate them. just a suggestion not a criticism i love your work so beautiful.
You don’t want or need to melt the non-ferrous metals in order yo get them to bond. It’s actually a bad idea. You can get bubbles or squirt out that metal when pressing. About 50-150F below the melting the melting point is optimal. Thanks for watching
@TyrellKnifeworks love the feed back can't wait to see what you do next.
Holy smokes the amount of labor boiled into such a short video! Did you forgo the distal taper? Beautiful work 👏
They were tapered from .24” down to .19” at the kiseki, but with the grinder. Thanks for watching.
very cool ! Nicely done !
Thank you! Cheers!
The Daughter was a little younger than I had envisioned- I had a teen in my mind; however, I think that the pink being inside is the better because I believe it will age better as she grows and matures. And funny enough, I visualised it as being pink ray skin inside rather than the wrap on the outside.
Stunning blades. I'd like to have seen more footage of the scabbard- it looks beautiful.
They are very hard to photograph in their entirety. I just have a 2'x2' light box so I can't really get them in there. Plus I ran out of time to get better photos. The scabbards turned out extremely well I think. Many layers of lacquer over a speckled/hammered silver (or copper) paint. Thanks for watching!
Absolutely Gorgeous weapons!
Damn!
🤯🙀🙀
Thanks for watching!
Excellent 🫰👍👍👍
I appreciate you checking it out!
@TyrellKnifeworks terima kasih
Sangat sangat istimewa
Absolutely Amazing!!
Thanks for tuning in, Bobby!
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
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.
Absolutely Beautiful!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Cu mai Damascus videos are best videos. Keep doing your thing
I'm glad you're enjoying the cumai videos! Thanks for watching.
astonishing work, Denis!
Thanks for checking them out!
Awesome job 👌🏼👌🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Thank you so much 😀
awesome, awesome work Denis
Thanks so much! I appreciate you tuning in, Don.
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. 😉.
@@TyrellKnifeworks Please tell valve to get going on team fortress 3 please. And we need the new elder scrolls sooner rather than later.
something i find really interesting is normally the curve comes from the quench but because its silver and copper i imagine you really cant get the temp normally used so you create a curve manually
The curve in a katana is normally from claying the spine and doing a differential heat treat. That process will leave the spine soft and leave a hamon line, which is where the soft/hard steel produces a line. Because these katanas are damascus, If I had soft steel on the top, it would not etch correctly and look terrible. Instead the silver and copper act as shock absorbers. Thanks for watching.
Those are truly beautiful, I think I prefer the copper
Thanks for tuning in!
I love your channel and love your work
I appreciate that, thanks for watching! ❤️
Beautiful work! I rushed to judgment about the tang size. With a few glass's of bourbon already in it, it looked strange. Next time I'll lower my glass..lol
Thanks for tuning in
These are so amazing!!
Thanks for checking them out!
Мастер низкий поклон за вашу работу
Спасибо, что посмотрели эту сборку!
Wow , amazing work
Thank you! Cheers! ❤️
Awesome build 👍👍
Glad you liked it! Thanks for tuning in.
Beautiful work my brother! Both came out fantastic, and anyone would be honored to own either one! I know I would be! Thanks for sharing your art, Denis! It's always very inspiring! 💯🔥💙☯️🙏🏻😎👍🏻
Thanks for watching, Bob! I appreciate the kind words.
Amazing work 🖤👍
Thank you! Cheers!
I need to buy one of these on your site!!!
These are custom order only and I’m afraid I’m not taking custom orders at the moment. Thanks for tuning in.
Was thinking to myself that the guards might be too big, but they look awesome 👍🏿
Thanks for checking out this build!
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
I like you’re thinking on the price! The set was $17k. Thanks for watching.
@ damn, less than half my guess, very good price, you have to be crazy efficient to make a decent profit!
These take about 6 weeks to make, so not bad. My prices go up each time though 😜
Very nice looking swords. 👍
Thanks for taking a look!
