Thank you very much for the bolts idea for finishing handles and being able to remove them to finish the knife. I've been looking for a way to do that.
@@TyrellKnifeworks can't wait for it ! I have been wanting to do one for a while now and am just to Leary about it hopefully you will have that one online to get me more confidence!
Your comment about keeping the grind even to prevent warping got me thinking... what about a "how to warp your blade" video? e.g. a video showing all the mistakes that can lead to warping. I've seen plenty of people complain about warping, but you're the first one who has given a reason.
Onve again you have made some beautiful knives !!! The handle material is out standing. This one was especially great because we got to see different knives made. You should do great at the knife show. Good luck and take care.
Next level sir! I use pottery clay, charcoal, and pulverized soft fire brick for my Hamon clay mixture. It adheres very well. It has never come off the blade.
Have you tried an interrupted quench on 1095? Heated water for a second or two, then into the oil. You will get much more activity in your hamon. Worth a try. Those turned out very nice though.
Honestly I’m not that much into hamons and I’m certainly not a fan of water quenching. I think I got a pretty decent hamon out of this one, I just etched it a bit too long. Thanks for watching, Bobby
Very nice looking bunch of knives I have to say my favorite saw your happy accident knives I would love to see one of those with some Oleg Burrell scale on
@@TyrellKnifeworkses q usted no lo entendería, en Cuba no existen tiendas donde comprar herramientas,aunque los cubanos inventamos con motores de lavadoras etc,bueno saludos
When i say more activity i mean those wispy cloud like features. Afterwards you can play with the etching. Hot lemon juice tends to bring out finer details. Im sure you know alot of this already. Nick Wheeler does a stellar hamon, second to none.
I spoke to Jarred and those are typically from etching too long. They follow the grain in the steel. I’m sure you could recreate them. Thanks for watching
If you wanna get real fancy, you can make your own yaki-ire medium (Japanese-style clay tempering) out of a mixture of forge scale, clay, very fine stone powder, and unicorn tears (water works too). I think you can use Satanite as well, if you're feeling devilish.
@@TyrellKnifeworks dude that came out soooo unusual! As a self proclaimed chef id like to experiment with different oils as i am well versed in hi low temp cooking oils! I am very interested in what kind of mineral oil you used?!
Looking Beautiful like always Denis. Glad to see those clips being done on your grinder, as you know I use my homemade grinder all the way to thousand grit before buffing. Im surprised you do alot of hand sanding, but I know you feel each knife needs handwork, so I can Appreciate that outlook too. Those hamons turned out great, I use wire because I use coal, but also helps the clay to stay on when cracking in the quench. Also your accidental oil ecth is going to be a new addition to knifemakers all over, myself included. Doing some inverted feathers these days, no time for videos for now, too much work around the house. Anyways take care Buddy, and like always Thanks again for those tips n tricks, and Greetings from Deutschland fellow Bladesman, JS
They aren’t scratches, it was sanded to 1500 before it was etched. I spoke to Jerrod we think it was etched a bit too long. He’s had this happen before and it’s likely the grain direction of the steel. Thanks for watching
Beautiful knives... question ? What shape and size. Would make a great camp / bushcraft/ hunting knife ? That as a thick spine and good square edges for using a fire starter. I see a real trend in people using the knife to chop (wood) and use a piece of wood to hit the blade and split wood with it. I suppose strength wise that is a good feature. But I prefer to use a hatchet for those chores and a axe naturally for larger logs. So is there a size and shape / style. That you would consider as a great combination for camp , hunting and bushcraft ?
Take a leaf out of an old bushman George Washington Sears who in the 1800's basically 'made' the outdoor recreational activity in the day. He would take a small hatchet, a Nessmuk fixed blade and a small folding knife. that tended to over the vast majority of activity revolving around wood prep, cleaning animals, general camping stuff and cooking in the field. Basically, don't baton knives into wood, its dangerous and not only can you get sharp bits of metal in your eye, you end up with a broken knife most of the time or it stuck in a log- which isn't an ideal situation if you're out in the bush with a tool broken.
Those are usually just called camp knives or camp choppers. Straight back, maybe a slight drop point. Sometimes a slight recurve. I’m making one for my last JS knife right now. Thanks for watching
Dennis, have you tried polishing your Hamons with lemons? I watched a Walter sorrels video years ago, where he discussed doing that, and I tried it with great results. Awesome work man, thank you for all of the great content!
I'm about to cast a snake pommel for my hunter, and its quite detailed. any tips? (wish me luck) P.S is copper and brass damascus a thing? gonna try it for the guard on the same knife.
I have no experience casting so I can’t give you any advice I’m afraid. I’ve seen copper, brass abs bronze along with steel. Baker Tool abs Forge makes and sells it.
All Beautiful blades, interesting to see the oil and stonewash together, I think I prefer the stonewash but that's just me, the burl handle makes it "pop" :) The Hamon's looked great, I'd be curious to know what caused the horizontal scratches though? Were you using the oil and powder polish in that direction? Maybe a finer compound is needed? I wouldn't know but am curious.
The lines were the opposite direction of the polishing and sanding. I spoke to Jarred and we both agree it was from etching a bit too long. He’s had the same thing before. Thanks for watching.
I have the contact wheels for it and it’s been on my list to do but I haven’t gotten to them yet. On my list for this year though. 👍 Thanks for watching
Hello Denis, great video as always :) I´d appreciate it, when you could tell us more often which grits you use on the belts when working. I´m a new knife maker and I think i could save a ton of time and money if I wouldn´t spend it on unneccesary work :D
Sure, I’ll keep that in mind, Richard. I typically use 36 grit belts pre-heattreat and 120 post HT. Sometimes I’ll go to 240 and 320 but usually that’s it. Chef knives I’ll take a bit higher on the grinder. Thanks for watching
I think it be an interesting video to do some hamon testing with different quench mediums. With 1075-1095 or W1-W2 Personally I like using 150F brine quench for hamons. There’s a risk there of course but I think the results are better. Thought it would be an interesting experiment to share across TH-cam.
@@TyrellKnifeworks I completely understand. I don’t do them very often anymore. Playing with different patterns and forge welding is what I enjoy doing most. Wish I could make it to the blade show this year 😔
That’s a lot of hand sanding. I hate sanding. I end up causing myself more work a lot of times trying to do more on the slack belt on the grinder. Sometimes it helps but not very often. Doesn’t take much to screw up quickly. on the grinder. Good looking knifes. I really like the rock tumbler, that’s genius.
My knives go up for sale to my Patreon members first and then to the public via my website a week later (link in every video description). Right now all my stock is going to Blade show though.
I’m not quite sure in your question. Dipping etched blades in mineral oil just coats them with oil for protection. Even Damascus blades do well with some mineral oil. If you mean oil-etching a Damascus blade, I think the pattern will get muddied.
@@TyrellKnifeworks Sorry - just heard crows calling at around 7:30 - I have a pair in my garden and feed them. So they call me at dinner time. Sounded exactly like the background. Very nice knives, by the way.
hey brother i have a question....why not make handle heavy blades . everyone i see make blade heavy knives .WHY? why not have a handle heavy knife?... the more handle heavy the more scientifically and martialiarts-ly and weildable, you can make it and have it the better... sooooooooooooooooooooooo why?
We aren’t making “blade heavy” or “handle heavy”, we try to make balanced knives. Unless your making a chopper, which you definitely want blade heavy. It’s very rare you want a knife that heavy in the hand rather than balanced.
@@TyrellKnifeworks Yeah balanced. but balanced to where? as i have made a few knives before and the blade was always heavy. if i drilled wholes out the blade would have become more heavy. shifting balance to blade side. i've seen almost everyone that make a a full tang knife drill holes in and i knew why but i never understood the reasoning, as perfectly balanced blades handle the best. and if the balance is shifted to a little into the handle than even better...i never understood. maybe it is just me that feel that way. anyway. i love your Bowies. your designs always intrigue .
@@ricksmit2239 the balance should typically be right before the ricasso. Drilling weight reduction homes should not be automatic, it should be thought through. Another option is to do a tapered tang for weight reduction. I typically do weight reduction for hunting knives where the handle is the same length as the blade and after you add scales, it’s handle heavy.
@@TyrellKnifeworks yeah. knives can go both ways... i will just want a sword with handle heavy wieldability. add waaay more control. but i guess with knives its all up to the smith huh?. id however always go for perfect balance(balances on your finger on top of the guard or just before it on the blade.) or a lil handle heavy. depending on the blades function...i guess hunting knives need to be a little blade heavy as the weight allows sturdier and cleaner cuts through the meat and skin.😁
My website is listed in the description of every video. Nothing available right now though, everything is going to Blade show in a few weeks. Thanks for watching, Tony.

Next level sir! I use pottery clay, charcoal, and pulverized soft fire brick for my Hamon clay mixture. It adheres very well. It has never come off the blade.
I think maybe this wasn't fully dry. It was only about 12 hours so maybe there was some moisture inside. Thanks for watching, Jon.
