I like the both of the techniques. Both are very unique. I dont know too much bout knife making, but I am wondering what a higher grit sanding would look on the blade.
Blacked with copper colour for me fwiw. However if the handle colours were reversed so the handle was predominantly red then the red stripe would suit better.
@@Marcus_Shaw yeah, that might have been interesting. I’d have to go with G10 or something. I think the handle looks better in person though. It was lost quite a bit in pictures.
To be honest man, it’s a waste of time!! Lol 😂 the first few times it’s used, that color will come off immediately, it’s cool looking but after the coffee etch it looked AMAZING!! Then it seems like it kinda lost some of that after the “crimson tide” poisoned the copper Lol
The pattern on the blade is stunning. In fact the whole knife is amazing. The crimson process does bring something to the table, but the coffee/copper finish would get my vote on this occasion.
The crimson is awesome, and it's definitely a good thing to add to the mental "toolbox". That said, I do personally prefer the standard copper and blacked out edge in this case. 🔥 Thanks for the awesome content!
I normally love the copper and black look, but for this one? That red on the steel is HOT! And it's in my favorite knife design! Seriously impressive work.
Man just one piece of your making would make my entire life. I would adore it and pass it down to my children and they would pass it down to my grandchildren, it would be a family heirloom. The work you do is incredible. maybe one day when i finally have much disposable income i can get into the bladecraft and use your videos for guidance and inspiration
I'm in love with damascus with the original copper color, I'd crawl over broken glass to get my hands on that design in a chefs knife. Incredible videos.
The red is different but in a good way.....do I love your copper knives? Yes!!!! Do I love this for the difference? ABSOLUTELY!!!! The red style displayed with a matching style copper in a desk top glass case, a dream come true for me!!!! Well done as always!
It's so great to see a full tang. I don't get smiths what will keep going for too tiny tangs. This one is amazing. The red really makes it look unique.
There are a lot of reasons for hidden tang knives. Any knife that typically requires a guard, for example. Done correctly, a hidden tang knife is plenty strong and would never break under use. Realize that just about every sword made is a hidden tang. 😉. Thanks for watching.
I’m a new viewer and have been watching so many of your videos. Not only are the blades stunning, but I love how you also add tidbits from your everyday life. Great video as always and thank you for what you do.
Every single time I watch you it makes me want to do this. Just the art of creating something like what you produce is incredible. Thanks for sharing as always. You keep amazing us every time.
I love when copper is incorporated into a knife, it's my favorite look on a blade. Red treatment is a nice added look for the right knife. I love it, well done!
I love both, the red is very different, but I think that the copper look at the end of the day is what people are really gonna be attracted to the most and I myself would prefer the copper over the red even though it’s really cool, I just think the copper looks more fitting to the Knife design overall. I’ve been collecting knives for many years and my collection consists of folders and fix blades but I’ve never actually had a custom fixed blade knife in my collection. Lately I have been thinking about having someone do a custom fix blade in Damascus considering all of my collection both fix blades and folders and I have no Damascus blades at all but I would really love to have a fixed blade in Damascus, I think that the process that goes into it is amazing and the end result is absolutely beautiful. I follow a few different TH-cam channels that are specifically about forging Damascus billet and blades, and your channel is the first one that I started following/watching and I think your work is amazing and would love to DM with you and maybe have you do one for me very similar to this one if not the same one, but if you would reply to my comment and maybe we could work something up and have you do a custom fix blade for me and there is no rush but I would truly appreciate having one of your knives in my collection, so please let me know if that something that you can make happen. Thanks, Tyrell. 👌🙏✌🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
the crimson is pretty neat, but i feel copper is the way to go. either way, its a lovely blade as always. i appreciate your experimentation and sharing the results.
That knife is perfection, just like the rest of your work... I really like the forged carbon scales... it's nice to see something different from time to time.
Man, that is Hands down the coolest looking knife I've seen anyone make/post! The final product is just bad ass & the pattern, color and profile of it really adds to just how awesome it is
@@TyrellKnifeworks no problem! One day I'd love to be privileged & fortunate enough to own/display one of your knives like that in my gun room/collection! I had to watch the video again just because its insane how cool it is, well made, intense the pattern & copper color ended up and just awesome it is/looks! Whoever ends up lucky enough to own that I hope they realize how lucky they are and amazing it is!
Man, you've already heard this over 100 times, but I feel that, with this exact knife the raw copper is better. Maybe it'd look cooler on another project; it seems a good idea. It's too bad we haven't figured out a way to lock in that great rainbow pattern on the copper right out of heat treat. Great work, thank you!
The red is striking, but honestly I love the coffee finish look. I would go with that. That Damascus pattern is just amazing, and the handle materials are awesome. Very nice tanto! But stay with the copper/coffee finish. Much nicer!
this is absolutely extraordinary!!!! It is a work of art . That knife is really very beautiful. And that red tone looks incredible. you are a true master all your knives are absolutely great.
Wow! That turned out awesome! As you stated the crimson looks amazing and matches the lines. I'm not sure that I would replace the copper look with this one. I can definitely see adding it in on some projects though. Thanks again Dennis!
Love the knife profile and the red Copper looks sweet. Downside is the Damascus looks duller then what you normally do so you should do what you normally do . Other thing I saw is did you polish your handle scales? They don't look as lustrous as normal
A beautiful damask pattern transitioning from rough to fine lines that beautifully copy the shape of the knife. The red copper line is something new that attracts attention. Definitely a great piece. The handle is somewhat faded, maybe it would be better if it were more shiny. However, this is just my preference, as always this is the work of a master and I look forward to another sample of your production.
I like that there is a clear divide between the 'pattern' and the polish on the blade red, copper, blue, green.. i wouldn't care either way there. The red is a cool thing to be able to do though.
Wicked sweet looking with the red. I love how the red liner matches the shade of red that the copper came out to be. The handle scales look great, one thing i would've done was to use red hardware aswell. Any rate it looks awesome either way.
I like both. But, red was what you were going for, and that’s what you got. If you’re not sold on it, don’t do it again. Adds to the value if it’s the only TKW knife with a red patina! The profile is pretty awesome too.
Which do you prefer, the crimson or the blacked out blade with the true copper color?
I like the both of the techniques. Both are very unique. I dont know too much bout knife making, but I am wondering what a higher grit sanding would look on the blade.
Blacked with copper colour for me fwiw.
However if the handle colours were reversed so the handle was predominantly red then the red stripe would suit better.
@@forevermorewinds1555 this was sanded with 1500-2000 between etches. You don’t get much higher.

I both agree and disagree at the same time…

I agree completely. It’s a cool technique to know but I also prefer the black/copper. Thanks for watching
I like the low layer twist. Its nice and bold. I like the crimson look too. Ill have to try it myself sometime.
Thanks for checking it out, JP!

Awesome 👏😎 never get bored of watching different metals melted together.✨✨✨
Couldn't agree more! Thanks for watching!
The crimson tint on the blade does steal the show however my favourite is the all black blade with the true copper colour. I just loved it.
I did end up refinishing this blade with the copper/black finish. Thanks for watching
@@TyrellKnifeworks oh wow that's awesome, I know you always make the right choices. And thank you for this awesome work of art.
Thank you so much for the metric conversions. Makes a lot more sense to me 😂 also love this knife. It’s bloody beautiful.

A well made tanto is a devastating puncturing implement. Accordingly, I like them with straight blades & generous hand guards.

Thanks for checking it out!
The crimson look is absolutely stunning.I’m going to try and do Copper in a build just for that purpose
Thanks for checking out the build!
Amazing craftmanship. You make it look so easy. Coffee for me. I really enjoy your videos
I agree on the coffee over this process. I actually went and redid it with coffee for Blade show. 😉. Thanks for watching.
Wow, that red is really striking. Of course the normal copper is pretty too.
Thanks for checking it out, Jesse!
Whaow..... shape of the blade, damascus texture, , and the right look handle, superb...
Thanks for checking out this build!
The coffee is more dramatic looking on the blade, and my preference. The red copper is a nice detail, but not a deal breaker for me. Great work!
Yeah I like the regular copper better I think. Thanks for watching, Ralph!
Honestly I think that both are absolutely beautiful and that is one beautiful knife that anyone would love to own
Thanks for checking it out!
I like the red, very unique look.
Beautiful knife great work as always.
Thanks for taking a look, Scott!

Thanks for watching!
This is the most beautiful knife I’ve ever seen! You had me at crimson copper
Thanks for checking it out!
I love the Coffee/ Copper look myself. Either way looks good but your craftsmanship out shines the most!!
Thanks, Keith! I prefer the coffee and copper too.
I think the knife with the strong red tone is really good. I like it better than the copper colour. Well done and thank you for the great video. 🤩🤩🤩

I like the red - its a very distinctive contrast against the black and silver tones.
Thanks for checking out this build!
100% keep the red, it looks awesome with the red contrast in the blade.
Thanks for checking out this build, Willard!
oh damn i love the red! i like the copper color too but with this one the red looks very epic. i love it
Thanks for checking out this build, Denise!
que buen trabajo .!!!! primera vez que veo un cuchillo con cobre de ese color😵😵😵 increíble
¡Gracias por echar un vistazo! Estén atentos, es posible que pronto haga otra técnica que muestre diferentes colores.

Thanks for checking it out, Brian!
Bro that’s beautiful 🤩

Humble and very talented
Thanks for checking out this build!
The red looks so cool
Thanks for checking it out, Wally!
Absolutely beautiful knife. I do think coffee and natural copper color looks best but the red does look good.
I’m with you, Jeremy. I prefer the copper color as well. Thanks for checking it out.
Beautiful, Love the Damascus pattern. personally, I like the copper/coffee look. Great job!!!
Me too, Daniel. I prefer the coffee and copper. Thanks for watching
Beautiful work! Love the coffee copper look big time.

Another work of art. Between the copper and the reddening, I think it really depends on the handle and how well they match.

Yea I have to agree. Thanks for watching, Henry.
It looks good nicely done

The crimson is cool for sure, but man does that black and copper look amazing. Blade looked even better without the handle as well :D
I like it with copper/black as well and it was returned to that before it was sold. Thanks for watching.
this is absolutely extraordinary!!!! It is a work of art . That knife is really very beautiful. And that red tone looks incredible.

The red is novel, but the coffee/copper look is stunning. Great work as always Dennis.
I agree, I like the coffee/copper better. Thanks for watching!
That’s beautiful! I think the vibrant darks are more my speed; this is a killer build! I didn’t know baking copper would do that. Great video Dennis!
Yeah, it’s not that hard to get this but you need to do it after freshly sanding the blade it seems. Thanks for watching, Ben!
Amazingly beautiful knife!!

I like both. But, red was what you were going for, and that’s what you got. If you’re not sold on it, don’t do it again. Adds to the value if it’s the only TKW knife with a red patina! The profile is pretty awesome too.
