I technically just made my first knife? I took some tin from my barn that’s falling apart, folded it a ton of times, welded it all shut, then just cut the bill into the shape and cut the grind into it 😂 “look, ma! I’m a blacksmith!”
You really need a wood-cutting band saw. I got one recently and its been a huge help in the shop, especially for bigger blocks of wood, like that koa wood you got at Blade!
What a beautiful knife !!!! The handle material really sets everything off !! As always this is a great video and a great knife. Always look forward to Sunday's to watch the videos and also the instructional ones with the great tips.
A beautiful knife. I love that your videos show the issues that you come up against and how you overcome them. It just shows that thanks can go wrong even for a skilled knife maker
i'm new to all this,the tv program " Forged in Fire " peaked my interest in knife and sword making,watching not taking part lol,this channel has simply blew me away... your blades are eloquent functional,things of sheer beauty,the skill that goes into making them is a whole other level... you sir are a Wizard of all things metal,your work is breathtaking to look at and that's every time you take a look,never get's old,amazing stuff !
Very interesting how you took us back in time. 😂 A week before Blade! Anyway another amazing knife! Gorgeous as always. Thanks again for sharing Dennis!
Love it. I hit like an then I shared this video with 11 friends just few minutes ago. Great job buddy. I'd love to be able to afford one but I'll never be able to. You probably get several thousand dollars per knife. I wish you had a price list video of your different knives that you have made. That way us old disabled veterans would have some idea of what it would cost us. I've taught my kids and grandkids, along with many other people how to hunt and fish so no matter what they will never go hungry. Plus how to clean an cook what they got. An they all know the right way and best way of cutting up meat like for example a whole deer. From gutting or field dressing it, hang it up and skin it, using a pressure washer to remove all hair an anything else that got on the meat, removing back strap and the real tenderloin (AKA butterfly) and that on the Inside up along the Spine, alot of people call the back strap the tenderloin and that's not correct. Then how to quarter it up, an put on table for final cutting. When my grand daughters were only 4 and 5 years old I have pictures of them cutting deer meat up with my hunting knives and warned them how easy it was if they don't respect the knives cutting edge because I keep my hunting knives razor sharp. My ex wife had a huge fit that I let my girls use my knives and you know they never once in all these (10) years helping me, they have never cut themselves with my knives. I taught them the right way. The better the teacher, the better the students. The best thing, I've taught around 18 different people how to do it all over the years with hunting and fishing, and they taught others. Same feed back from them all, I didn't know it was really that easy to do this. Share your knowledge with others, don't let that knowledge die when you do and you can watch them teach others your way and trust me that feels good when you meet those people later tell you they learned my way of doing things. It's truly a great feeling. An also, share and teach others how to fish, all your tricks and secrets. They will love that feeling when they hook in a huge fish and pick it up that first time. Not only did they hook the huge fish, they also got hooked. Share the love of nature by teaching others how to make or help others be able to do same things you love doing. An never take more than you need, but if you do share with your family, friends, and neighbors. They will truly appreciate it. Sorry it was so long but I don't have many people I can talk to about this subject and I encourage others to help the younger kids to show them a better life other than the streets. Put a fishing pole in their hands first, and take them camping. Teach them how to do it. Ok my friends.
you are a great knife maker but an even better teacher; your explanations leave little to question. But! how often do inclusions force a redesign or mod, and how long can one expect to wait until he is good at making his bevels even 20,50, 100, knives?
Thanks so much, Gene! It’s not that often I have to change a design mid-stream. Maybe 10% of the time. I’d say after you’ve done 10 freehand knives you’ve got the basics and after 20-30, you’ve got it down. Repetition is the key. 👍
That handle material is ridiculously cool, and the damascus is awesome. Is that from the box of scales you were sent, the one with all of the different colorful handle material?
i got recommended this video on TH-cam and im glad i did, wow that is one beautiful knife, i dream of owning a knife like that , great video thanks for sharing 👍🏻 i just subbed.
I like how the blade looks like a topographical map. Two cliffs with a water way through it. You never stop impressing us sir. If I may ask a question. Why do you bounce the hammer on the anvil, after you hit the steel for a minute
Are you using brodbecks adjustable work rest? If so how do you like it? If not I’m curious where ya got yours at! Love watching your videos man keep up the awesome work.
The regular rest I use (non-tilting) is the Brodbeck but my tilt test was given to me by Contender Machineworks. I’m waiting on the Brodbeck tilting test though!
I really like that the scales and blade complement each other with the swirls! Too bad with the inclusions, but I do like this blade profile better since the sharp geometry gives a good balance to the more "fluid" look of both the pattern and the scales.
Inclusions are where the layers didn't quite weld together properly so there's a delamination or a gap. On this blade, there was an inclusion about 1/16 wide that was very noticeable, so it had to be ground out. Thanks for watching.
I love that blade material. So beautiful! Loved it even more on the dagger. Too bad you had the inclusions. Still come out amazing though. Won’t deny that my favorite Damascus you do is with copper. I may need to place an order for one.
Another great knife Denis. Nice work. I missed the name of the bolts you used to lock down the scales and didn't see them in the list in the description. Could you drop a link to them? Appreciate it.
denis looks amazing love the pattern in the blade can you share how you did that? thanks Mark Olegs woods are amazing i was just given 2 pieces of maple burl gonna stabilize it should be beautiful have enough wood to do 50 or more knives ill send you some when im done with them
i can forge beautiful blades but wish i had you handle making skills. that my worst part. in the 20 plus years of forging i have not been able to get handle making down
I struggled with that as well and after going to the blade show in the 90s figured it out, make them thinner than you think they should be (side to side).
@@shanek6582 one of the biggest problems for me is that i cant make them to fit my hand, my palm is slightly over 5 inches across. my money maker for me is kitchen knives and i have to get the GF to see is they fit her hand lol
The handle material is sick ! overall very nice knife, as always :) To which grit did you take the handle before oiling and which type of oil did you use ?
Are you looking to be a blacksmith or a bladesmith? Meaning are you thinking of going beyond knives? If so, you should checkout Black Bear Forge channel. He focuses on blacksmithing in general. 👍🏻
@@stuckindamiddle7431 You mean how to forge the point onto a knife? Checkout my Beginner Series playlist. I forge a blade from beginning to end and show all the steps.
Congrats on JS Denis! In my opinion you made it with the best group ever! Blade looks great as always...also did your sons knife sell? Hopefully he'll take advantage of your skill lol
Aw man 😔. I would have had to make another Dagger with those leftovers. Twins. Oh, is there any way to fix an inclusion ? Probably not with that material, I understand.
Why don't you hammer your bevels. Your knives would hold a sharp edge for longer if you hammered rather than grind. You're attempting your journeyman so you should be hammer forging everything.
First off, that is total BS that hammering a bevel makes it stronger. Second, this pattern would be completely distorted if you hammer in the bevel on one side.
你是整个网络最让我着迷的刀匠！You are the knife maker who fascinates me most in the whole network!
就像深海里那条最帅的鲨鱼！Like the most handsome shark in the deep sea!
Thanks so much! I appreciate you watching!
Sweet knife. I think thats the one i saw at blade show if im not mistaken. Looks way more beautiful in person.
Thanks for checking it out, JP!
我实在是忍不住要夸赞你！你的创意实在无与伦比！I can't help praising you! Your creativity is really unparalleled!
Starry Night handle. Great work !
Yes, I was thinking the same! Thanks for watching, James
You make some of the most beautiful patterns and designs that I have ever seen
Thanks so I much, Miguel! I appreciate you watching

Thanks, Sven!

We all start somewhere! Maybe your hooked now! 👍
@@TyrellKnifeworks 😂 maybe just a little
I once started with an old steel file and a hairdryer 😂😂😂
sniper snipes if you want i can make a mini forge for you and for charcoal
TURNED OUT BEAUTIFUL
Thanks, Stephen!
That looks awesome. It looks like there's a flame coming out of the handle towards the tip
Yeah, this handle material is very impressive. Thanks for watching.
You really need a wood-cutting band saw. I got one recently and its been a huge help in the shop, especially for bigger blocks of wood, like that koa wood you got at Blade!
I don’t have the room and the table saw is more versatile. I get the point though, it would be nice to have one. Thanks for watching, Willard.
As always sir you make art. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for checking it out, Gino!
I find most of my nightshade in the garden digging potatoes and growing beefsteaks lol. Beautiful blade!
My garden has better nightshade I guess. 😜. Thanks for watching, Shane!
Damn this is a stunning looking blade, wish the day will come where I can make something even just a fraction as nice as this
Thanks for watching this build, Jacques. It doesn't take long to progress, I've only been doing this just over 4 years.
@@TyrellKnifeworks that definitely gives me hope :)

I think it bc would have looked cool with the pattern converging at the tip. Oh well. Thanks for watching!
veryyy cool Knife whats the white powder sou put on the steel before forging it though?
That is borax that is used as flux to aid in the forge weld. It prevents scale from forming so the steel welds together. Thanks for watching
HOT GODDAMN that thing is AWESOME
Thanks for watching!
So beautiful! May I ask what inclusions are?

There gulso bolts. Your supplier should have them. If not a quick google search will pull a bunch of them up.
Yes, Gulso bolts. I’ll put in a link, I forgot on this one. If you look on the hunting knife build I did recently, there’s a link there.

Handles do take bc a bit of practice for sure. You should practice on normal pieces of wood (scrap lumber) until you get it comfortable. 👍
The handle material is sick !
overall very nice knife, as always :)
To which grit did you take the handle before oiling and which type of oil did you use ?
I always take my handles to 1000 grit, then buff with white compound and then a bit of wax and mineral oil. 👍. Thanks for watching, Richard.
