@@melvincoetzee4151 I just answered your email with the same response. Sorry but I’m not taking custom orders, particularly repeats of other blades I’ve done. This is just a hobby and I focus mostly on TH-cam. I have a day job so don’t have the time to also take on custom orders.
@@TyrellKnifeworks bro you're blades are something else, especially the copper Damascus. Make money for yourself instead of someone else, and enjoy life in the process. You can easily make a very comfortable amount a month just from 2-3 copper damascus blades.
I've spent a lot of time on the blacksmithing part of TH-cam and this unquestionably one of the most beautiful damascus patterns I have ever seen. Something about the sharp contrasts of black and white with this particular pattern really make this piece pop. Truly a work of art.
Hey, so I hear that you say quillion. I just wanted to point out that it's actually spelt and pronounced "Quillon." No 'ion' at the end. It _can_ be spelt that way, but it's less common. I've also heard a lot of other black smiths say quillion as well. I'm currently working on a book, and I used the word. It tried to auto correct it, and so, curious, I looked it up and was surprised to find that it was spelt quillon. And whether you say quillion, or quillon, it doesn't change the fact that that is an absolutely beautiful blade. Keep up the great work dude.
@@liquid24 yeah, I know it’s pronounced more like “key-own” dagger. It just sounds a bit pretentious like that. 😜. Kind of like how Americans pronounce foyer improperly but it becomes the norm. (Pronounced “fwhy-ay” not “foy-er”)
@@liquid24 It's just anglicised because the French accent sounds incredibly weird to pronounce to a non-French speaking person. I can speak more French than any other language bar English but I absolutely cannot do the accent without feeling like I'm making a complete muppet of myself.
@@Fambamm-ib6pw When I looked at the doc, I thought the same thing. Like, yeah, the rest of them were amazing and all, but Tyrell's was just _on_ _another_ _level_
The part that was damaged falls under the category “the artist is the only one that knows where the flaws are”. How long did it take to make this ? The work,attention to detail & symmetry is incredible!! Good luck w/the challenge!!
Three hours ago! I can't believe I'm here to see the birth of a beautiful new dagger and not three years late! 😂. You've really outdone yourself this time, got me convinced.
This is a stunning piece of functional art. The contrast is spectacular. But all of that was overshadowed when you had to tell Molly to stop barking … that right there was gold!!
I cannot put into words how incredibly beautiful and breathtaking this sword is. I have never seen such beauty in my entire life! Thank you! Just thank you! I'm crying because it's so unbelievable!
What a blade and those silver inlays are looking pretty awesome! The exact ratio between too much and exactly right!Even with that little mistake at the end it’s a class A piece of art and craftsmanship! I’ve loved your work since the first click on one of your videos! Please keep on sharing your impressive work with us!🖖
Absolutely amazing!! Loved every second of seeing this beauty take shape! I am in awe of all the subtle details you put in. Very very impressive work! Rooting for you to win 🏆
Yeah so this wins if we're talking craftsmanship and beauty of the finished piece and I'm going to assume those are the parameters. I mean, it's hands down... You won. And holy hell your craftsmanship is second to none, that is not just calculating things and getting it done in a way where your know how makes all the difference, that is knowing the poetry of materials. I'm so thoroughly impressed that I am at a loss for words.
Das ist der schönste Dolch, den ich seit langem gesehen habe. Ein schönes Design und auch der Griff ist eine Schau! Auch wenn die Challenge vorbei ist, so ist dieser Dolch für mich der Schönste. Danke für das Zuschauen lassen!
That dagger you made is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! My father loved knives, blades and craftsmanship and when he got cancer I wanted to get tools and stuff to make some knives so he could keep busy and work his fine motor skills as well as it would be something we could both do together and create beautiful functional tools that looked like pieces of art. He was diagnosed with esophagus cancer and then brain cancer and in November 2021 he passed away. He would have absolutely loved this dagger and all of your other pieces you’ve created! Now that he’s passed I still want to try to bring this idea him and I talked about to existence. You and other knife makers here on TH-cam are very inspirational and it’s giving me that itch to start and practice so one day maybe I could be in one of these challenges. Anyways, thank you for your content, it’s great to see from start to finish.
Sorry for your loss, but that's great that you want to honor the memory of your father and continue with the craft. Thank you for checking out this build, I appreciate you watching!
I absolutely loved this video, but what I appreciate even more than your craftsmanship and skill is that you didn’t just skip over the chipped piece but you specifically called it out, that’s real humility there. Excellent blade sir
@@TyrellKnifeworksI get what they mean, but I think what you were originally going for looked awesome too! Love your copper wave Damascus katana, just watched that video yesterday and one day I hope to be able to make things similar to that!
Man I really enjoyed watching your build Denis! I love the contrast with the silver and the bluing salts! Excellent design, excellent Damascus, excellent execution bro!
You sir are gifted beyond the comprehension of many. Amazing work, just stunning. Thank you for bringing us along for the creation of thus masterpiece!
I watched your vid before you sent it off. Congrats on receiving the recognition your excellence deserves. Loved the art while you were making it...pleased it was noticed by the Challenge for the beauty it is.
I've gotta say man, I've watched hundreds of hours of knife and sword makers videos. Of course your work is fantastic but it's the information I find better than any other channels, you're the first maker I've seen who puts a graphic next to you forging explaining and showing exactly what all the movements are actually doing. It's one thing to watch a blade of Damascus being forged but I've never known or been told what all the turns such are doing to the pattern. Very cool!!! It goes without saying the knife came out absolutely fantastic! The word grail gets thrown around far to often, one of your knives is the definition of a grail for me!
It is incredible how you are able to mentally keep track of what is happening with the layers through all those steps!! I had no idea it was so difficult to achieve these patterns! The graphics you provide really help a lot, I can imagine what is going on. I didn't realize forge men could create these patterns with real metal like this! I used to think they just carved in patterns afterwards or something, but the steal was solid blocks. It is so much more satisfying to realize that they are true metals running through there. Amazing video please keep making them, I really love your stuff.
Looking at this blade it's very hard to believe that you have not completed your journeyman qualifications yet brother that looks like Masters work to me absolutely stunning
Great watching a master at work. I do enjoy watching videos like this. I live in the UK and I can't see myself ever having a go at something like this myself but I find it fascinating.
A real bummer that point near the ricasso broke off, that looked really nice. But nevertheless a fantastic piece of art. Thanks for working so hard to put this competition together!
There are some amazing blades in this challenge for sure! Drew's is my personal favorite. That kid is only 17 and producing art like that?! 😮🤯. Thanks for watching, Nicole!
This video popped in my feed and I'm glad it did. It's nice to watch a blade smith forge and show their talent and imagination. I recently watched a video of someone making a reimagined medieval mandalorian helmet and was punching the heated metal with him gloved fist. That was the first time I've ever given a thumbs down on a video in years.
While the little "points" did look good, but getting that one side broke off, then grinding it all in a curve to match, I think I like the final product better. BUT, that's why they make Fords 'n Chevys:). Tyrell, I wish to say a THANK YOU!! for all your work with these videos - I've learned a bunch from watching you work. I really like your copper work and have done a couple of CuMai blades and one Copper Damascus billets. Thank you.
Thanks so much, Ken! It was a bummer at first when the flare broke off but everyone seems to like it better without it. Send me some pics of your knives for Viewer Knives! (tyrellknifeworks at gmail)
Great build I'm a little biased and you got my vote but saying that your dagger to me was the most aesthetically pleasing. I have learned so much more from your channel than from any of the others I like the way you present each of them and methodically lay out the process. Thankyou.
Thanks so much! I appreciate you watching. All the makers did excellent builds this time around. There will be a format change for the next challenge so stay tuned!
I decided to watch all of this first before looking at the other entries, and I think it turned out excellently, despite the break on the end. Well done sir!
You know you explaining how you patterened the Damascus was so informative. Like I never understood how someone could predict the pattern that would come out, but you explaining along the way with little infographics made it so easy to understand. You really have a brilliant mind. Have you ever considered teaching because you seem like you would do really well at passing along this knowledge to others. Great video! hope you did well in the challenge since I am seeing this well like 6 months after this video went live.
Thanks so much, John! I’m also a PADI scuba instructor so teaching isn’t new for me. Though my day job has nothing to do with teaching. Thanks for watching!
It literally boggles my mind that you can follow in your head the progressive orientation of the various components. It is not surprising you won the challenge from among extremely high level competition. Congratulations, sir….looks like it will Keal!
Once you start working with damascus, there are certain progressions that you understand, so its not as complicated as it looks. Thanks for watching, Alan!
It actually took my breath away, it was so stunning! I’ve never seen Damascus steel with such incredible contrast. Sorry that I’m so late to the table; I’d have voted for you without question. Amazing work, truly amazing.
Incredible blade.... You are a master... That being said it's funny even a guy like you had a unforseen accident... But you recovered nicely. Great work . Thanks.
Knife making is just a series of problems to solve. I don’t think the problems ever end but your solutions get better and faster. 😜. Thanks for watching
Just when I think you can't top the craftmanship of your previous knives, you go and make something as incredible as this. That patterning is gorgeous!
I think this and Kyle Royer's Serenity daggers are my 2 favourites of recent times. Absolutely incredible work. That blade is a fantastic contrast to such a classically styled bottom half. Superb!
As I said years ago you have a talent for gabbing about your work and pretty beautiful of that handle, It's a beauty that is dangerous Love your video good luck and thanks for showing
The graphics showing the layers of the billet were extremely informative in helping me understand how the Damazene process works, I am often frustrated when watching these forging videos and the smiths jump cut from part of the billet process to another and I, a mere pleb watching the video, can't determine why its done in that way, this really helped me understand the process much better, thank you.
Absolutely stunning dagger. That Siberian maple burl is absolutely bonkers. I think what I like most is the silver solder inlays. Never would have thought to use silver solder that way. Lol my dad will be brainstorming for sure when I tell him about it. We use it for stuff like repairing chrome bumpers and trim and other stuff in extreme cases. Most of the time we prefer to work or grind/sand the metal and if it's bad enough get replacement pieces. Sometimes you can't when you're working with rare or just not popular classics/antiques though.
THANK YOU this was a joy to watch the graphs really helped with understanding how the patterns are made I will not say this is the best knife I have seen because your copper damascus bowie knife edge it for me by a hair what can I say I am a sucker for that copper on steel contrast. truly thank you for making this videos you are inspiring me to make something beautiful like this tho I still can't imagen my self doing anything like this but even so knowing that this level of craftsmanship exist make me happy thanks for your hard work and keep doing what you are doing the world need to see your work.
@@TyrellKnifeworks A master is challenging him self! The hype is real with this one, I will really look forward to seeing the next masterpiece Keep it up
Haven't watched all the builds but seen all the pics and your work just blows me away! The entries are all beautiful in their own style but yours just has a classical elegance that I love. I don't really know the first thing about it technically but I'm so moved by the process and the finished product is just astonishing.
Wow, that thing is Gorgeous. Beautiful work as always my friend. Love watching you create something so beautiful out of a chunk of steel. Great Work and Good luck in the competition. You got my vote. Their is some really cool and good looking knives in the competition, but yours just stands out. Just Beautiful.
Your eye for detail. The clean precision. The way all parts of the dagger compliment the others. You are in a league of your own. The GOAT!! OH and I voted for yours. 😉
Congratulations! I picked your dagger, after seeing it on TH-cam. I decided it would be almost impossible to beat. Thanks for another museum quality piece. Keep up the fantastic work.
I watched The WINNERS video after this and it went through the first round of winners and I was so let down not to see yours in it, then I thought it was maybe a different contest. But then the special challenge winners part of the video showed and I was so happy to see that you got the win you clearly deserved. Excellent job and I LOVED the graphic that help the viewers keep track of the layers. Thank you!
That is a great one !!!! The pattern is beautiful !!!! You can count on my vote for sure. You also make some beautiful welds and machining you are great at. Good luck!!!
A shout out all the way from south africa these are some of the best forging skills I have ever seen what I would do to come to America and learn from you amazing work sir !!!
Can't believe anything is going to beat this for beauty and function, Sorry I voted on first view and truly don't know which one this is my idea of function and truly artwork. Thanks and good luck
Hope your vacation was great. This is such a beautiful dagger 🗡 So much attention to detail in every part of the design & build. Not to mention all the work that doesn’t make it into final edits. Very impressed again. Bravo Sir. Well done. I’ll vote for sure
Thanks for putting this competition together. I watched each build with awe. To see the different methods and style of each smith to make outstanding Daggers. It was a very hard choice. It came down to fit and finish + the overall look. I only wish i could have hefted each one. Great job. you have my vote. Congrats to all on some fantastic builds !!
The blades you create are stunning works of art. The marriage of dazzling beauty and strong effective weaponry is incredible. Seems silly to call you a journeyman, the expertise you show, instruction given to neophyte smiths in your videos, and contribution to the community denote a master’s touch. I know it is a matter of time and I respect the terms codified by the ABS, but in my mind, sir, you are a master.
Denis, 1st sir, congratulations! Honestly Airin Lee’s Was a close 2nd in my humble opinion. Your PIP inset of the layer progression was life changing for me! I was able to undoubtedly see the direction you are going with your pattern. I’m so proud & thankful that you allow me to stand over your shoulder and watch you build these incredible knives. I get to keep my mouth shut and learn! Thank you Denis, please consider using the pip pattern layer progression inset more often.
Every damascus build since the bowie challenge uses these graphics since I've gotten such feedback on it. I'm thrilled you are learning along with me. Thank you for following the channel, I appreciate it!
Thank you for the schematic representation of the layers it helps me understand better how Damascus patterns are made 👍🏿
I’m glad the graphics are helpful. Thanks for watching!
Totally agree I think more people should do this 👍

@@TyrellKnifeworks Yup... you get my vote here my man. Again, fantastic work.
As I said years ago you have a talent for gabbing about your work and pretty beautiful of that handle, It's a beauty that is dangerous
Love your video good luck and thanks for showing
Thanks for checking out the build, John!
The graphics showing the layers of the billet were extremely informative in helping me understand how the Damazene process works, I am often frustrated when watching these forging videos and the smiths jump cut from part of the billet process to another and I, a mere pleb watching the video, can't determine why its done in that way, this really helped me understand the process much better, thank you.
I’m glad the graphics are helpful! Thanks for watching!
This master piece belongs in a museum. Absolutely astonishing craftsmanship. New sub because I definitely want to see more of this.
Welcome to the channel, Diego! Thanks for checking out the build!
Your finish product is the best i seen here hands down. Your honesty on mistakes is a huge appreciation to the riddle of steel.
Thanks for checking it out, Mick!
@@TyrellKnifeworks look forward to the Fairbairn-Sykes challenge
Absolutely stunning dagger. That Siberian maple burl is absolutely bonkers. I think what I like most is the silver solder inlays. Never would have thought to use silver solder that way. Lol my dad will be brainstorming for sure when I tell him about it. We use it for stuff like repairing chrome bumpers and trim and other stuff in extreme cases. Most of the time we prefer to work or grind/sand the metal and if it's bad enough get replacement pieces. Sometimes you can't when you're working with rare or just not popular classics/antiques though.
Thanks for checking it out, Adam. I’m glad I could inspire you with a couple new ideas. 👍
That is truly the most beautiful, immaculate dagger I've ever seen created. Kudos, brother!
Thanks for checking it out, Chris!
The Dark Brotherhood would be proud to have you as their Blacksmith. Lol
Nicely done and in my favorite color to.
Thanks for taking a look!
THANK YOU
this was a joy to watch the graphs really helped with understanding how the patterns are made
I will not say this is the best knife I have seen because your copper damascus bowie knife edge it for me by a hair what can I say I am a sucker for that copper on steel contrast.
truly thank you for making this videos you are inspiring me to make something beautiful like this tho I still can't imagen my self doing anything like this but even so knowing that this level of craftsmanship exist make me happy
thanks for your hard work and keep doing what you are doing the world need to see your work.
Thanks so much for watching! You’ll definitely want to checkout next week’s build video. I think it may top the copper bowie for you! 😜
@@TyrellKnifeworks
A master is challenging him self! The hype is real with this one, I will really look forward to seeing the next masterpiece
Keep it up
First knife video I've seen with cross-sections of the billet, thanks for the visualisation!
I’m happy the graphics were helpful! Thanks for watching!
Haven't watched all the builds but seen all the pics and your work just blows me away! The entries are all beautiful in their own style but yours just has a classical elegance that I love. I don't really know the first thing about it technically but I'm so moved by the process and the finished product is just astonishing.
Thanks so much, Bob! I think the quillion dagger is the most elegant of blades and there’s a reason it’s a requirement for the ABS Mastersmith test. 👍
Unbelievable, you are a true artisan, that is so beautiful.
Thanks so much! I appreciate that. ❤️
هذا رائع جدا
تعجبني طريقتك في شرح العمل أنت إنسان محترم شكرا لك ولمن قام بالترجمه أتابعك من دمشق ♥️

Thanks for watching, James!
Wow! That is really magnificent!, Beautiful!! You truly are a master craftsman sir!
Thanks so much! I appreciate you taking a look!
I watched The WINNERS video after this and it went through the first round of winners and I was so let down not to see yours in it, then I thought it was maybe a different contest. But then the special challenge winners part of the video showed and I was so happy to see that you got the win you clearly deserved. Excellent job and I LOVED the graphic that help the viewers keep track of the layers. Thank you!
This blade did indeed win first place. We just announced the next challenge today, check that out!

@@KelOne333 welcome to the channel! 👍
Wow, true knifemaking artistry. I kept thinking of the feud between the Montagues & Capulets in Shakespeare's *Romeo and Juliet* . Good job!
I hadn’t thought of Shakespeare. That’s an interesting comparison. Thanks for watching
That is a great one !!!! The pattern is beautiful !!!! You can count on my vote for sure. You also make some beautiful welds and machining you are great at. Good luck!!!
Thanks so much, Debra! I appreciate you watching
Marvelous!! And I'm actually glad, that one corner snapped because it looks even better line this now! 👌👌👌
Many have said the same thing. Thanks for watching!
A shout out all the way from south africa these are some of the best forging skills I have ever seen what I would do to come to America and learn from you amazing work sir !!!
Thanks so much, Leroy! If you find yourself in the US, come to California for a class. 👍
wow, love the fact you added the VO with your comments on what youré doing! amazing result, pure art
I’m glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching, Andre!
Can't believe anything is going to beat this for beauty and function, Sorry I voted on first view and truly don't know which one this is my idea of function and truly artwork. Thanks and good luck
Dude this dagger turned out Amazing event with that misshapen on the bottom of the blade. Nice work brother truly a work of art.
Thanks so much, Kevin! I appreciate you watching
Dude, that's amazing! Beautiful work!
Thanks for checking it out, Dan!
Wow. You are truly an artist, sir. This is beautiful piece. You're always making incredible blades
Thanks so much, Doug! I appreciate you watching!
@@TyrellKnifeworks I recently got into watching these types of videos. Yours by far is my favorite.
You are awesome for giving us a complete list of all your tools and supplies in the description. So helpful, thank you.
I’m glad it’s helpful! Thanks for watching!
Hope your vacation was great. This is such a beautiful dagger 🗡 So much attention to detail in every part of the design & build. Not to mention all the work that doesn’t make it into final edits. Very impressed again. Bravo Sir. Well done. I’ll vote for sure
Thanks so much, Skeeter! I appreciate you checking out the builds.
very interesting choices .... they turned out awesome too ... old style new twist and some flourish ...
Thanks for checking out this build!
I love that you show the pattern on each sections you make. I have never made anything but I adore watching people making knives among other things
I’m glad it’s helpful to envision the process. Lots of other cool build in the library and more coming soon!
the handle and all the pieces incl. with the handle turned out Fab! wow, really impressive 😍
Thanks so much! I appreciate you taking a look!
Thanks for putting this competition together. I watched each build with awe. To see the different methods and style of each smith to make outstanding Daggers. It was a very hard choice. It came down to fit and finish + the overall look. I only wish i could have hefted each one. Great job. you have my vote. Congrats to all on some fantastic builds !!
Thanks for watching all the builds, that’s the real win!
The blades you create are stunning works of art. The marriage of dazzling beauty and strong effective weaponry is incredible. Seems silly to call you a journeyman, the expertise you show, instruction given to neophyte smiths in your videos, and contribution to the community denote a master’s touch. I know it is a matter of time and I respect the terms codified by the ABS, but in my mind, sir, you are a master.
Thanks so much, Jesse! I still have a ways to go to be at the MS level, but I appreciate the sentiment.
Denis,
1st sir, congratulations! Honestly Airin Lee’s Was a close 2nd in my humble opinion.
Your PIP inset of the layer progression was life changing for me! I was able to undoubtedly see the direction you are going with your pattern.
I’m so proud & thankful that you allow me to stand over your shoulder and watch you build these incredible knives. I get to keep my mouth shut and learn!
Thank you Denis, please consider using the pip pattern layer progression inset more often.
Every damascus build since the bowie challenge uses these graphics since I've gotten such feedback on it. I'm thrilled you are learning along with me. Thank you for following the channel, I appreciate it!
That is a Kings dagger, for king who knows how to use it.
Truly epic, you remind me of some mythical forger from a fantasy world.
Thanks, I’ll take that! ❤️
This is a stunner, you are 2nd on my watching the challenge after Blackbeard and this is winning so far.
Thanks, David! Be sure to watch all the builds. There are many spectacular knives!
Amazing work as always! I really like how you put a graphic in the corner it really helps understand and appreciate the process more
Thanks, Sam! I’m happy the graphics are helpful. Check out all the other challenge builds as well, they are all incredible. 👍
@@TyrellKnifeworks oh wow I got a reply 😊😁 I will do!
