![Making Tanjiro's Katana from [Demon Slayer]](/img/n.gif)
I made a mistake in the video, the sterling silver was $660, it was the huge piece of pure silver that was $1000. I've had a lot of people ask if I would do this with gold... I've already done a 24k gold build which you can checkout here: th-cam.com/video/ztyqN03nriQ/w-d-xo.html. Let me know if you have other questions. Thanks for watching!
Do one with separate levels one base one silver one base one gold one base one copper one base and see if it comes out really cool or ???
Weapons are nice but I'm a lover 😂 could you make a Damascus wok? Is that even possible?
@@stuart207 I probably could, but I'm a knifemaker, not a pot maker.
Cảm ơn bạn vì video , tui rất yêu KATANA , tui người việt nam 🇻🇳 rất thích video bạn làm về dao
Nice item
"Silver for monsters, Steel for men"
Tyrell: "well how about both Geralt"
Who’s the gold for then? 😜. Thanks for watching.
@@TyrellKnifeworksI’m pretty sure gold is actually for something just can’t remember what lol

@@kieronsullivan9515 A were rabbit! 24 karat!
It’s so strangely satisfying to watch a master craftsman and artist create something that obviously took hundreds of hours over multiple months condensed down to 30 or 40 wonderful minutes. Keep up the amazing work.
These do take quite awhile but are very rewarding in the end. Thanks for watching, Matthew.
The jet black and silver contrast is perfect! Great decision!
Gotta love black and silver! Thanks for watching.
Dude, anyone telling YOU how to do something needs to think a bit more about what you are trying to accomplish. I think you got it figured out. 👍🏻
Ha, well everyone has an opinion they want to “share”, particularly on TH-cam. 🤣. Thanks for watching!
Nah... the Japanese wouldn't agree with you. This ain't katana.
The contrast between the silver and Damascus came out great. Amazing work!
Thanks so much, James! The silver is sooo shiny, the pics don’t even do it justice. 😉
Stunning piece my friend. It's just beautiful. Congrats :)
Thanks so much! I appreciate you checking it out. I'm trying to get through all the participant videos before I move on to the judges so I haven't seen yours yet. Looking forward to it though since it's different... different is good! 😉
Rrrm🎉❤😊m
Lies again? Alpha Male Samurai Burger
@@NazriB ??
if silver is the moon, you should create a sun thats made of gold and these 2 will become a great twins
I’ve done a 24k gold Damascus build already, though not a sword. It is very cost prohibitive to do something like a sword I’m afraid. Thanks for watching.
That is possibly the most beautiful katana I've ever seen.
Thanks for taking a look!
@@TyrellKnifeworksHi, what is the aprox price of this work of art?
@@JamesJames-jt3tsthis one sold for $10k.
@TyrellKnifeworks That is a bit lower than I would have guessed.
The jet black edge to silver to damascus transition was absolutely sweet, and I'm glad you did the fuller, as the repetition of silver further up gave it fantastic visual balance.
Thanks! I do like the black against the silver. The fuller was a late addition for weight and balance but they always look good in these layered constructions. Thanks for watching!
I'd always been a HUGE fan of the copper but this is on a new level! It looks great. The sword came out really well though I am not a fan of the fuller. I am busy with a mod for Cyberpunk 2077, creating a black katana with a copper line through the blade. Because you were the inspiration I want to call it the Tyrell katana.
Ah, that’s cool! Thanks for watching!
Works as an homage to Bladerunner too. I also loved the copper damascus, but this is also stunning work.
That's pretty badass, lolz. Hope it comes out great!
Wow. Thank you for sharing your process.
Thanks for taking a look!
I have been recommending several knife makers to make a silver pattern welded blade for a long time, because Silver is my favorite precious metal. I don't know if you are the first TH-camr knife maker to make one, but you're the first one I have seen make one successfully. Even if you had some melt out it makes no real difference because irregularity is the name of the game for pattern welding blades. Every part of this build is beautiful and for you to build and wrap the handle according to traditional Katana making in Japan, makes this build so beautiful, that I am struggling to find words that are proper. You did a fantastic job sir, as is always the case with your builds. Thanks for sharing, and I must add, that your build, even though you are a judge, will act as an example for other knife makers to follow. I think that your work is going to be one of the best in the challenge. Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks so much! I really appreciate the comments and most of all you watching! These challenges are meant to push people’s comfort zones, including my own. Thanks for watching!
I think out of all your projects I've watched over the years, definitely the most ambitious in terms of that 'risk factor' of having it all come together in the end. Somehow, it worked so well done you!
Thanks so much, Kris! I appreciate you following the channel. 🙏
Close second. The gold sword takes the cake.
That is a beautiful piece. Thank you for sharing it.
Thank you very much!
Sublime work, thank you for sharing it with us!
Thanks for taking a look!
I'm glad you opted for adding the fuller. A technical decision that ended up being probably the most striking aesthetic characteristic of the blade.
I agree! It was for technical reasons to lighten the blade and balance but fullers always look very cool with these layered constructions! Thanks for watching!
the blade has something of primal and mystical in the lines of the damascus. I like the prevailing of the black on the silver too. It's a masterpiece in every part
Thanks so much! I appreciate you checking it out. ❤️
Beautiful work and to see it cut so well at the end is amazing. Great job on this.
Thanks for taking a look, Steven!
Thats an effing gorgeous blade m8. Really loved watching your journey in making it. Keep up the awesome work man
Thanks for checking it out! ❤️
Having never made a sword or a knife; your channel is a genuine inspiration ! I am looking to begin my own knife making education soon and your videos are so helpful in this regard ! This sword is a work of art and you are a genuine craftsman !!! Such a beautiful creation !!
Thanks so much, Joseph! Checkout my Beginner Series playlist to get started. 👍
@@TyrellKnifeworks Will definitely watch those to get my head around it as there is a lot to learn ! Thanks for your videos
Your attention to detail is exquisite. You make an excellent role model for the bladesmith community.
Thanks so much! I really appreciate that! ❤️
Magnificent & inspiring. Thanks for making the video so we can see it done. 😊
Thanks for taking a look! 🙏
Once again an awesome piece of artwork. You are so skilled and the narration make this project come alive. Congratulations sir.
Thank you very much, Rick!
Sweet sword. My favorite part is the fuller and how it makes those little splotches of silver come out. It brings a whole different asthetic to the whole piece. Great work.
Thanks, JP! I’ll be checking out the other builds tonight when I get more time.
Phenomenal work as always, sir! Love that silver in there; next level.
Thanks, James! I’ll be watching the other builds soon when I get some time. 🙏
Now that's art at its finest. Great vision and final product. 👏
Thank you! Cheers!
The blade is incredible, your video was a joy to watch and your cutting technique is not half bad either. Love your work and much respect from the land down under.
Thanks for checking out this build.
That truly is a work of art. Very very nice indeed. Well done yet again.
Thanks so much! I appreciate you watching!
At first I was confused by the silver in the damascus pattern, but after seeing I'm believing. A fine blade you've forged!
Thanks for checking out this build!
Nice work. I just love creative people doing nice stuff. TY for using both measurement systems. Greetings from Germany.
Thank you! Cheers!
I really appreciated the video and all the steps on making this Katana. Wow, that Katana is a work of Art! Amazing!
Thanks for checking out this build, Neil!
This katana turned out fantastic! It's got a modern look to it, while keeping the overall traditional look! Really great job! Very classy! 🤔😁👍
Thanks so much, Michael! I appreciate you watching.
Absolutely phenomenal! What a gorgeous sword!
Thank you kindly!
A beautiful work of art! Excellent job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Well that was an insane build. I'm completely blown away!
Thanks so much! I appreciate you taking a look.
Love watching these videos. The uploader often gives close up footage whereby can actually see more detail of whats happening during the processes, and gives a bit of explanations so you're not left with having to wonder about a whole lot. Oh and there's NO STUPID MUSIC! Thank you!
Thanks for checking out this build! I’ve learned long ago that people prefer the machine noises and narration over music. 😉
As always you're work is very impressive. A magnificent sword with the purity of silver to slay evil spirits. Whoever owns this spiritual weapon will not only possess a great blade but will also be protected from being possessed themselves while warding off all other demons that lurk in the darkness🙏🏻
Thanks so much for checking out this build! 🙏
Absolutely amazing!!! Great work you should be very proud .
Thank you so much! I appreciate you taking a look.
Quality stuff, man, bravo!
Thanks for taking a look!
Stunning piece of craftsmanship! ❤
Thanks so much! I appreciate you checking it out! ❤️
What an amazing piece of art coming to life! Well narrated and filmed (I wouldn't have minded watching the scabbard come to life too!). Amazing work all the way, as far as I'm concerned!
Thank you very much! I was at the point of needing to get the build done in time so I opted not to show the saya construction. In my copper damascus katana I did the whole saya build so you can check that one out. Thanks for watching!
What a beautiful piece, congratulations!
Thank you very much!
That is so awesome. Good work.
Thank you! Cheers!
Dont worry about those who have to much time on thier hands and find all they can do is criticise or complain, i for one absolutely love watching you videos, you inspired me to book a holiday retreat next year to introduce me to forging, im attempting a Kukri, i served in the British army along with some Gurkha signals, i thought it a good tribute to such excellent soldiers, you sir are part of me making this move.
That’s great, Dave! I appreciate anyone getting into the craft. Thank you for your service, and for watching.
@TyrellKnifeworks when I go on my forging holiday in May of this year 24, im going to do little video pods, I shall send them to you privately at the time for your advice and constructive criticism, I would love you to watch my progress as its mostly down to yourself thats prompted me on this journey and the brilliant program forged in fire, which we are very honoured to be able to enjoy in the uk, I look forward to the correspondence if you are in agreement kind Sir. I recently nearly severed my left hand thumb, it healing fast and my surgeon thinks it should be no problem by then, as long as I swing my hammer were it's ment to land that is.🤣👍👍
@@daveslater9141it’s best to follow my on Instagram and reach out there.
Absolutely insane piece. I would love to own something like this one day. Only question, why didn't you use the giant emperor node on the stringray skin? It's generally considered very desirable, and you had a nice one on that piece of skin. Regardless, it's wild the level of skill and talent that went into this project.
Because this stingray skin is white, that node isn’t very visible, like it is on a black one, so I didn’t bother. I’ll use it on another project. Thanks for watching.
Saying that blade looks beautiful is an understatement. It is the pinnacle of mastery of forking skills! Awesome job sir!
Thanks so much for checking out this build!
This is so satisfying to watch it's crazy! Love your work, keep it up!
Thanks for following the channel! Always new builds on the way.
One of the best builds that I've seen!
Thanks for taking a look!
Wow. Beautiful work
Thank you! Cheers!
Incredible work! Good job
Thank you! Cheers!
Absolutely beautiful! Just, wow!
Thank you so much! I appreciate you taking a look
effing gorgeous! amazing job!
Thank you so much!
This is a piece of art. Amazing work
Thanks for checking it out!
Unreal, phenomenal work. :D
Thank you! Cheers!
Really interesting finish on that blade ! Well done, nice work !
Thanks for checking it out!
Amazing work! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! Cheers!
My god. What a stunning piece.
Thanks for taking a look!
I was fortunate enough to be able to see the work of art for myself at Blade West last weekend. Denis is totally correct in saying pictures and video does not do this blade any justice, you have to see it in person. Denis it was a pleasure again meeting you again!!!!
Thanks so much, Randall! It was great talking with you.
another top notch piece of work. pleasure to watch.
Thanks for checking it out!
One of the most beautiful swords I have ever seen, as important as the traditional way is I believe you made the best call
Thanks for watching
This is fantastic! Well done Sir, you have some amazing skills!
Thank you very much!
Gorgeous!! Truly magnificent!
Thank you! Cheers!
I keep coming back to see this one you did great!
Thanks for watching (and watching again!), David! I appreciate it!
That is one of the most beautiful swords I have ever seen 😮 !! It is truly a work of art! I love it!
Thank you so much 😀
Oh wow, that looks amazing
Thanks for taking a look!
thats so insanely beautiful i love that it looks simple from afar till your looking at it close. love it
Thanks so much! I appreciate you checking it out!
This is absolutely amazing!
Thanks for checking it out!
This really just looks incredible. If you don't already, you should display the silver, copper, and gold katanas together like some sort of olympic medals.
These all get sold. This one has been at its new home since Nov. thanks for watching.
A true materpiece, my friend. Amazing work, and the fuller, while unplanned, is a stunning addition.
Thank you so much 😀
I have always wanted a set of knives like this! Nice work!
Thanks for checking out this build.
What an absolutely marvelous piece of craftsmanship. That is one gorgeous katana!
Thanks so much! I appreciate you taking a look!
HE'S DONE IT AGAIN! I absolutely adored your Copper Damascus Katana, and Silver is my favorite metal. Love to see this. You are a master at work, and it shows!
Thanks so much! I appreciate you checking this one out
Wonderful work! Magnificent katana!
Thank you! Cheers!
That is awesome. Love the silver touches.
Thanks for checking out this build!
Bloody brilliant great watching, Got me hooked
Thanks for checking it out! Lots of other cool builds in the video library. 😉👍
Absolutely beautiful!!
Thank you so much!
functional art! excellent craftsmanship! well done, sir!
Thanks for checking it out!
Sir, THIS is truly, a piece of art on par with original katanas. The visual aspects, along with the functionality of this blade...truly beautiful. Very well done, you sir, are a master.
I appreciate you checking out this build! Also thank you for the kind words, but I’m not quite a master yet. Working towards that title though. 😉. Thanks for watching.
That's one of the prettiest blades I've ever seen! Stunning work!
Thank you very much!
its a great piece, marvellous!
Thanks for checking it out!
Finally, a katana forging video thats actual forging and not cutting/ machining metal only
Thanks for checking it out!
@@TyrellKnifeworks no problem, forging and katanas are interesting to me, i thought the layering of the different metals and the exposing of the core steel for the edge was really cool
Kind of sad you couldnt get the differential heating in though
Beautiful, Great craftsmanship!!!
Thanks for checking it out!
that is beautiful work and an original take on the usual Katana builds
Thanks for checking it out, Andy!
Such a a beautiful build!! Amazing work as always!!
Thank you so much!
And yet another master piece my friend, stunning
Thank you! Cheers!
Damn bro! 😮 that’s amazing! 👊🏻
Thanks for taking a look!
Genius on the ladder pattern. Love the creativity.
Thanks so much!
Wow, stunning build!
Glad you like it!
This is a true work of art.
Thanks for checking out this build!
great work Tyrell, love watching you forged those swords
Thanks for checking them out!
Thanks for another great video Denis!
Thanks for watching!
One of the most beautiful swords I've ever even seen! Wow.
Thanks for checking it out!
This sword is beautiful. I love your videos, your work is excellent and your videos are awesome for educational and entertainment. Keep it up!
Thank you very much!
Really nice work!
First time reccomended your channel and oh my god this is amazing. Just a beautiful sword... wow. Just wow.
Thanks so much! Welcome to the channel, I appreciate you watching.
Just wow! This was a very ambitious build and the results are amazing. I've watched you incorporate copper...but silver? Very ballsy. I can't stop looking at it. It might be the most beautiful katana I've ever seen.
Thanks so much, Jim! I appreciate you checking this one out.
The facts that you made that yourself so well is amazing. Great work!
Thanks for taking a look!
@@TyrellKnifeworks thanks for posting!
Wow, what a gorgeous piece of art work.
Thank you! Cheers!
I don't usually comment on maker videos, but not only was the construction process very interesting... but, my goodness, the final product is stunning. The black damascus contrasted so well with the silver, the bright ground edge, and the other silver pieces. Beautiful craftsmanship.
Thanks for checking out this build, Paul!
