I can’t believe this has been available to watch for two entire hours before I’ve seen this. I’ve lived in a world where this video exists and I haven’t watched it for two whole hours, and I’m not sure how to live with that
My man back with my favorite thing ever, these are beautiful. I would really love to see you take one of these and engrave additional branches off the natural windy copper layer to solder in copper to make it look like a long tendril of lightning running down the blade. If I was anything more than a broke bloke I'd commission it.
@@TyrellKnifeworks No, you're right, solder's melting point would be too low, perhaps inlaying the same copper from the forging, but that would be adding a ton of extra labor. While I have you, I was wondering why you didn't use copper for the pink Katana? If you got the copper to oxidize into copper(I) oxide (Cu2O), it would actually turn pink. :)
@ $17.000🙀 I thought it would have been sold for 5k or something! But then again it is a work of art, oh and one more question what’s the song called at the end when your showing the finished result?
These look amazing. the pink wrap not working was a lucky accident because it looks much much better with the pink stingray and black wrap than it would have otherwise, imo
Well, at least his daughter doesn't need to worry about loup-garou with the silver in the blade😁 As always sir, gorgeous examples of the blademakers art!
It’s not wanted. Doing a differential heat treatment would leave the spine soft and the Damascus would etch differently and look terrible. Plus a hamon over top of the copper just looks odd. Thanks for watching.
Beautiful work! I rushed to judgment about the tang size. With a few glass's of bourbon already in it, it looked strange. Next time I'll lower my glass..lol
Do you mean during the heat treat using a differential hardening with clay? I specifically didn’t do that because the Damascus above the hamon wouldn’t harden and then would etch differently and look terrible. Also, it’s NOT easier or more reliable to do a differential heat treat. They typically have a 30% chance of total failure. Thanks for watching.
I was expecting the daughter to be like 16-17 years old. It's wild someone paid for a sword of that quality for a 8-10 year old! Well, it is an heirloom item and something she'll have for the rest of her life I bet. Can't say I'm not jealous, lol. Beautiful work as always. The silver one looks much better with pink samegawa rather than pink ito. I think that pink ito would have definitely cheapened the look of the item.
Never heard of dipping the stell in gasoline that is an interesting concept does it do something different to the metal or just help it heat faster either way beautiful blades
id like to see some of the reasons why you opted for lower heats aside from the melting points, i think it would be helpful to know what copper for instance oxidizes alot at high heat and as a finicky issue bonding to steel because of this as well as the different thermal expansions that create alot of stress in the metal that de laminate them. just a suggestion not a criticism i love your work so beautiful.
You don’t want or need to melt the non-ferrous metals in order yo get them to bond. It’s actually a bad idea. You can get bubbles or squirt out that metal when pressing. About 50-150F below the melting the melting point is optimal. Thanks for watching
@@TyrellKnifeworks Thanks for clarifying that... I had a similar question about such dissimilar materials bonded together like that. Absolutely gorgeous swords!!! You're a true master and whatever you got for that commission, I'm sure you undersold yourself. ;)
Awesome! This customer must have been very wealthy. I wish I could afford a sword like this! I'm really digging the copper one because of the contrast. Both look bad ass though! Great job. Hope you had a wonderful holiday, and have a Happy New Year!
Boy…favorite is a total toss up! They are both beyond stunning. The copper is more fitting for the father, whereas silver is gorgeously feminine. Incredible craftsmanship, as usual, Denis!
Beautiful work my brother! Both came out fantastic, and anyone would be honored to own either one! I know I would be! Thanks for sharing your art, Denis! It's always very inspiring! 💯🔥💙☯️🙏🏻😎👍🏻
i have tried to forge a sliver cladding like this a long time ago... you sir are a forging grand master binging able to do this with both copper and silver not to mention making a Katana out of them both anyone who has forged before should know how hard it is to make a good or accurate katana. both are beautiful doing a fish shape in the shape of a z would look as good just saying or mauby a shark shape z hmmmm man i love your work and watching you makes me wish i could still smith
Which one is your favorite??
I'm going pink, because of the unique handle!
Copper looks cool to me👌
I have question is it possible to make katana with cobalt instead of copper?
Father and daughter vigilante duo origin story :)
Great blades - definitely going black, pink and silver.
Copper looks cool
Man…the copper and silver look like a wave shape hamon line. Really nice to see it come out that way.
Yup, those chevron dies worked their magic! Thanks for watching.
Looks like blood sweat and tears in this one. It must be one of your favorite pieces..As always thank you for your time sir.
THANK YOU! I really appreciate that! ❤️❤️❤️
Finally, someone who explains what he is doing and the reasons why. Thank you. nice work.
Thanks for watching, Peter!
Um... Dennis. My dude. WTF? These things are just flat out too beautiful.
I hope your holidays are going wonderfully!
Thanks so much! My holidays are nice and relaxing now that these are complete. 🤣. I hope yours are good too. Thanks for tuning in.
From hearing about these on your podcast, I was really looking forward to seeing them. I'm Not disappointed. Beautiful work!
Thanks for listening to the podcast and watching!
Both swords are truly incredible. These blades look like they would have taken months to complete. You're a true artist.
They did take a while. Around 6-8 weeks for both. Thanks for tuning in.
The silver is beautiful, but something about that copper and black makes it pop so much more. Great work brother.
Thanks for checking out this build!
Flabbergasted as usual! Just got my first forge! Cant wait to do things like this! Thank you sir for the inspiration.
Glad I can inspire you to try it out!
That ribbon burner is really holding up very well.
Yup it sure is! Thanks for watching.
I used to be very good at making knives! But after a while I slowly lost my interest, mad respect for you for keeping up the good work❤
Thanks for tuning in!
I love these both. What an amazing commission and incredible work!
Thank you so much! I appreciate you taking a look.
I can’t believe this has been available to watch for two entire hours before I’ve seen this. I’ve lived in a world where this video exists and I haven’t watched it for two whole hours, and I’m not sure how to live with that
🤣 well I’m glad you found it! Thanks for tuning in.
Brother you truly are an INCREDIBLY humble and talented maker. Love your work. Bravo 🙌🏽
Thanks so much, Jeff! I appreciate you tuning in!
@ yes sir!!!!
Remarkable Craftsmanship. A work of Art 👍👍
Thanks for tuning in, Jerry!
Absolutely Beautiful man BRAVO !!!! Love them both but I got to go with the copper one. Love your work .
Thanks for the kind words, it was a fun project!
These videos always come out at the best times. Love the work and showing the whole process, makes me want to try blacksmithing
Ha, well there is some planning on the release dates. 😉. Thanks for watching.
the copper ones pattern reminded me of the beach .very beautiful thanks for sharing
Thank you! Cheers!
Absolutely beautiful, as always!
Glad you enjoyed them!
you knocked it out of the park, nice job
Thanks for checking them out!
That roller looks like a godsend...gorgeous pieces as per ususal...
It definitely is a godsend! Thanks for tuning in.
Suatu kepuasan melihat video anda dari awal sampai habis, amazing job👍👍
Terima kasih banyak telah mendengarkan!
Beautiful job man those are some beautiful pieces!
Thank you kindly, Auston.
I love the copper and black. It looks like a super hero sword! Both are amazing though! Beautiful work!
Thanks for tuning in, Joe!
Awesome build! Thank you for everything.
Thanks for your support and trust! 🙏
Remind me pf the bronz damascus katana a while back
Nvm that pink is a crime
That katana a while back was also copper actually. Thanks for checking these out!
Dude these are incredible. I know how much work goes into my crappy little knives so I can only imagine...
S tier craftsmanship.
Thanks for tuning in! It takes quite a while to make even a small knife, swords can get ridiculous. 🤪
@TyrellKnifeworks been tuning in for a bit. Just finishing up your surface grinder build now! 🤘
Very nicely done
Thank you! Cheers!
This is stunning, I’m amazed about your craft👏🏼👍🏼
Thanks so much 😊
Wow ! Amazing as always sir !
Thank you so much 😀
Those are truly beautiful, I think I prefer the copper
Thanks for tuning in!
These are so beautiful.
Thanks for taking a look!

I’m not sure how copper soldered in would withstand the heat treat. I’ll have to ponder that one. Thanks for watching.

@@7sevin7I’ve done a copper patina and turned it pink before. It’s not a very durable finish though.
Both great! Nice pair. Perfect for 2 sword style. 😊
Thanks for checking them out!
Wow , amazing work
Thank you! Cheers! ❤️
You do beautiful work. I love both, but I think the copper just pops!
Thanks for tuning in!
These are so amazing!!
Thanks for checking them out!
They are both very beautiful works of art I’m glad they both love the swords 😍
Thanks for tuning in!
Just wow those are incredible
Thanks for checking them out, Gino!
True pieces of art
Thanks for checking them out!
These blades are gorgeous 🥹. I wish I could afford such a delicate piece of work one day ❤
Maybe one day! Thanks for watching!
Oh denis if you won’t mind me asking how much did you sell it for?
The set sold for $17k. Thanks for watching.
@ $17.000🙀 I thought it would have been sold for 5k or something! But then again it is a work of art, oh and one more question what’s the song called at the end when your showing the finished result?

Yes, I think so too. Thanks for tuning in.
Beautiful pieces of art. Wonderful job. Thank you for sharing the build. HNY
Thanks for tuning in!
Wat.ched this in the art gallery I'm a member of, and both would hang nicely here! Super work, Denis
Thanks, Bryson! These were a tough build but came out nice I think.
awesome, awesome work Denis
Thanks so much! I appreciate you tuning in, Don.
Well, at least his daughter doesn't need to worry about loup-garou with the silver in the blade😁 As always sir, gorgeous examples of the blademakers art!
Thanks for tuning in!
astonishing work, Denis!
Thanks for checking them out!
Absolutely Beautiful!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Cu mai Damascus videos are best videos. Keep doing your thing
I'm glad you're enjoying the cumai videos! Thanks for watching.
Awesome build 👍👍
Glad you liked it! Thanks for tuning in.
True craftsman
Thanks for tuning in!
日本刀の折返し鍛造と異なりますが、丈夫で斬れ味も良さそうだし独特な刃紋に芸術性を感じます。
本当にありがとうございます！ご視聴いただき感謝します。
Always looking forward to your builds. This certainly did not disappoint😁
Glad to hear it! Thanks for tuning in!
Absolutely killed it Denis!!!
Thanks for tuning in, Spencer!
I see new video I click...
I appreciate that click! Thanks for tuning in!
Good soldiers follow orders
Is it not possible to make the katana curve during the quench with these materials?
It’s not wanted. Doing a differential heat treatment would leave the spine soft and the Damascus would etch differently and look terrible. Plus a hamon over top of the copper just looks odd. Thanks for watching.
Absolutely Amazing!!
Thanks for tuning in, Bobby!
Absolutely Gorgeous weapons!
Damn!
🤯🙀🙀
Thanks for watching!
Was thinking to myself that the guards might be too big, but they look awesome 👍🏿
Thanks for checking out this build!
Beautiful work! I rushed to judgment about the tang size. With a few glass's of bourbon already in it, it looked strange. Next time I'll lower my glass..lol
Thanks for tuning in
Eline sağlık dayı.. ikiside muhteşem.. seçim yapmak imkansız..
😍
İzlediğiniz için çok teşekkürler!
Nice new damascus ❤
Thanks for taking a look!
Totally Fantastic!!
Many thanks! 🙏
Absolutely amazing
Thanks for checking it out!
Incredible.
Thanks for taking a look!
Amazing work 🖤👍
Thank you! Cheers!
I've seen copper sheet before but where in the blazes do you find pure silver in thin sheets like that?
It’s easily found at any jewelry supply store like Rio Grande or Stuller. Thanks for watching.
I have a question, why don't you make the curve of the blades in the templing proces? Is way easier and
more reliable
Do you mean during the heat treat using a differential hardening with clay? I specifically didn’t do that because the Damascus above the hamon wouldn’t harden and then would etch differently and look terrible. Also, it’s NOT easier or more reliable to do a differential heat treat. They typically have a 30% chance of total failure. Thanks for watching.
Denis you never dissapoint tyhose are so very beautiful your work is impecable thats why you will have no problem getting your M.S. Mark
Thank you for the kind words and support!
Good to see Zorro has got his swords
He did indeed! Thanks for watching.
Very nice blades! Nice gouge on that left hand too 😂. Always top notch man! Thanks for sharing
Ha, I don't even remember what bit me... Thanks for watching!
I was expecting the daughter to be like 16-17 years old. It's wild someone paid for a sword of that quality for a 8-10 year old! Well, it is an heirloom item and something she'll have for the rest of her life I bet. Can't say I'm not jealous, lol.
Beautiful work as always. The silver one looks much better with pink samegawa rather than pink ito. I think that pink ito would have definitely cheapened the look of the item.
I agree on the pink one. With a nicer pink leather Ito it would have looked good, but I just couldn’t find any. Thanks for watching.
Браво мастер 👏 !!!!
Beautiful
Хвала што сте гледали ову конструкцију!
Very nice looking swords. 👍
Thanks for taking a look!
Never heard of dipping the stell in gasoline that is an interesting concept does it do something different to the metal or just help it heat faster either way beautiful blades
It’s kerosene, not gasoline. Gasoline would not end well. 🤣. The kerosene burns off and aids in the forge welding of the steel. Thanks for watching.
id like to see some of the reasons why you opted for lower heats aside from the melting points, i think it would be helpful to know what copper for instance oxidizes alot at high heat and as a finicky issue bonding to steel because of this as well as the different thermal expansions that create alot of stress in the metal that de laminate them. just a suggestion not a criticism i love your work so beautiful.

@TyrellKnifeworks love the feed back can't wait to see what you do next.
Would they be prone to delamination in the copper layer when high stress is applied?
No, the copper bond is in excess of 70000 psi in tensile strength. You’d destroy the blade before you’d shear the layers apart. Thanks for tuning in.
@@TyrellKnifeworks Thanks for clarifying that... I had a similar question about such dissimilar materials bonded together like that. Absolutely gorgeous swords!!! You're a true master and whatever you got for that commission, I'm sure you undersold yourself. ;)
Does the copper adhere to the steel? I didn't think it would.
Yes, it bonds very well. It’s more like copper brazing. Thanks for watching.
Awesome! This customer must have been very wealthy. I wish I could afford a sword like this! I'm really digging the copper one because of the contrast. Both look bad ass though! Great job. Hope you had a wonderful holiday, and have a Happy New Year!
Thanks for the kind words. They were a fun commission. 😉.
@@TyrellKnifeworks Please tell valve to get going on team fortress 3 please. And we need the new elder scrolls sooner rather than later.
Holy smokes the amount of labor boiled into such a short video! Did you forgo the distal taper? Beautiful work 👏
They were tapered from .24” down to .19” at the kiseki, but with the grinder. Thanks for watching.
Very Cool love it
Thanks so much for tuning in!
Also meant to say that a little "orange belt" got herself a very serious weapon! 😉 Thank you again!
Yeah she did! Thanks for watching.
Boy…favorite is a total toss up! They are both beyond stunning. The copper is more fitting for the father, whereas silver is gorgeously feminine. Incredible craftsmanship, as usual, Denis!
Thanks so much! I think I prefer the pink one. 😜. Thanks for tuning in.
That’s absolutely beautiful how much would that cost I’m looking around to get a good one made
These start around $9k. Thanks for tuning in.
Is it possible to forge any blade out of tungsten?
Great work as usual, aswell 😊
Tungsten is actually quite brittle. It gets hard, but it would make a terrible blade unfortunately. Thanks for watching.
Where do you buy your silver sheet?
I get my precious metals at Stuller. Thanks for tuning in.
Man I wanna try forging so bad... id take both katanas.. 🔥
Give it a try! Thanks for tuning in.
How much does the silver one cost?
Around $10k. Thanks for tuning in.
What’s good my friends
Awesome!!
Thank you! Cheers!
While I absolutely detest pink I am a sucker for silver
It does really pop! Thanks for watching.
Ahhh soooo cool dude ! I love it 🫶
Thank you! I appreciate you checking them out.
wow amazing work!! What is the approximate price of a katana like the copper one?
These are around $10k. Thanks for watching.
Beautiful work my brother! Both came out fantastic, and anyone would be honored to own either one! I know I would be! Thanks for sharing your art, Denis! It's always very inspiring! 💯🔥💙☯️🙏🏻😎👍🏻
Thanks for watching, Bob! I appreciate the kind words.
The silver one is amazing! How much did it cost the customer?
The pair was $17k. Thanks for watching.

"DOUBLE OR NOTHING"
Dennis several weeks ago after losing a katana making contest:
Ha! Thanks for checking out this build!
Those are pretty.
Thanks for checking out this build!
