    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!

    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!!!

    I really love this silver and carbon steel katana you forged, and in the style you did, it is while still staying traditional. Beautiful work, and around my birthday no less last year. I love the copper cumai one you forged as well. But I am looking into swords and daggers I can buy online. But no one seems to have what I want. So I thought I'd ask you. First off. I'm pagan. Second, silver is very powerful, wards off evil, and is a very powerful conductor. Third, carbon steel has negative magnetic/conductive properties and stays sharp for a while. Fourth, I love fossils and desire blue and black opalized hardwood from Indonesia for a handle material that includes fluting with twisted silver islay in the flutes. And fifth. While I may not be ready to purchase and won't be for a while because I'm dirt poor at the moment, I would love both a parrying main goche dagger and a swept hilt rapier in the stile I just described similar to this katana. I prefer double-edged blades over single with a stabbing 7 I was wondering, though, it may be challenging if you could possibly make such weapons. my birthday is coming up, and I'm not asking for anything quite, yep. You actually may not be willing to take such a product on. But I'm asking if you can or think you could . So. Can you?

    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.

    • @TyrellKnifeworks
      @TyrellKnifeworks  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      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.

    Absolutely beautiful, and you should be so proud to have such skills. We've all seen the traditional methods of Japanese katana forging, and it surely makes even you appreciate the time and craftsmanship that was required back then to produce such works of art. From a pure metallurgy standpoint, how do these modern methods stack up against the ancient swords as far as strength, sharpness, craftsmanship, etc? From using their rare tamahagane steel forging, to the clays, rolling the billet in traditional straw, carbon hardening, multiple folds, etc. etc. I'm sure they would have appreciated the hydraulic press, electric tempering ovens, but do you think their entire process and exactness produced a better sword than can be made even today? Thanks again for your astounding work!

    • @TyrellKnifeworks
      @TyrellKnifeworks  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      What the Japanese excel at is craftsmanship and effort. Tamahagane is actually far inferior to today’s modern steel. It was “folded” so many times to remove the rampant impurities. Also, it wasn’t rare, just time consuming for that age. The steel coming out of the Middle East and India at that time was leagues ahead. The Japanese certainly did the best with what they had at the time. Thanks for watching.
