display??? those are real blades by good man- just as sharp and durable as a traditional tamahagane katana, probably more so frankly. Im expecting 2 hours a day cutting practice from that little lady after school! (speaking as a martial arts instructor/national judo competitor).. train hard, fight easy. Ok maybe with dads supervision to be fair... atleast for the first year or 2. maintained properly, it will lose none of its beauty.
That are real pieces of art, made by an artist with know how and explain what it is and where it is for. Thank you for showing, it was a real pleasure to watch you working on it and to see the result, greetz from the Netherlands.
I didn't think the daughter would be that young, I was expecting someone in their 20's. That's one awesome dad to give something like that at that age.
This is the most beautiful sword I have ever seen I would literally give one of my fingers for a piece like this. Or any piece of his I would give anything that have something to carry with me at all times. This is the best knife maker but I've ever seen their works of art thank you so much for what you do sir
This has got to be my new favorite katana build video because I've had this idea in my head for years and you literally did it with the copper just sucks now I know someone has one before me lmfao but amazing hopefully soon I can commission you to make me one soon
hey i couldnt be here for a loooong time. i was watching every video and commented on allof them because you said youll reply to all and you really did. but life as a homeless isnt that easy. ive had my phone breaking down, then some work, couldnt buy a phone, but now after a long time im back. nice to see what wonderfull things youve made in the meantime.
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. :)
Train hard little lady - I wish you all the best! starting this young is so helpful for a good martial arts career and the life skills it brings. I stated at 7, im old and crippled now, and my skills and training are the difference between living a reasonably normal life and being in a wheel chair/mobility scooter.. its not all about winning fights, its about determination, inner strength, and physical well being, and those will be with you all your life.Also beautiful work as always mr Tyrell.
Those are beautiful !!!! .. I'm JUST NOW getting into knife making and hope to eventually have the tools and skills to make something even half as beautiful as these !
Dennis, what gas forge do you use in the video? How do you like it, and would you buy that same one again, or a different one? I like the sliding door; I see very few gas forges with a sliding door, either from the top or the side.
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
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!
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
This was Just my thought process with the Ito-wrap: maybe getting some white lace similar to what some shoelaces are made of and then dyeing them pink but I completely understand the time crunch and everything still came out amazing and I actually really enjoyed it
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
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.
Всегда с огромным удовольствием смотрю ваши видео. Большой респект и уважение мастеру. Удачи и развития вам и вашему каналу. ****** I always enjoy watching your videos. Great respect and respect for the master. Good luck and development to you and your channel. 👌👌👌👍👍👍❤❤❤
these are absolutely gorgeous, i also very appreciate the explanation of various details during the video! is the price of those public? my guess would be 20k each
something i find really interesting is normally the curve comes from the quench but because its silver and copper i imagine you really cant get the temp normally used so you create a curve manually
The curve in a katana is normally from claying the spine and doing a differential heat treat. That process will leave the spine soft and leave a hamon line, which is where the soft/hard steel produces a line. Because these katanas are damascus, If I had soft steel on the top, it would not etch correctly and look terrible. Instead the silver and copper act as shock absorbers. Thanks for watching.
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.
@@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. ;)
It’s during the heat treat, not the temper. I mentioned in the video that a differential heat treat (what that’s actually called) would leave the spine soft and the Damascus wound etch differently and look very odd. Instead the copper/silver acts as a shock absorber and there’s no need to clay the blade to induce the curve. Thanks for watching.
Personally, I love the copper cu mai!! I’m currently having a custom straight razor made and it is double copper layered..😍 How much do you charge for a sword like this?
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
![The Sword is DONE! ✅ [Excelsior Episode 12]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/dE5FPqk4rjo/mqdefault.jpg)
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
Finally, someone who explains what he is doing and the reasons why. Thank you. nice work.
Thanks for watching, Peter!
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! ❤️❤️❤️
Those are works of art that anyone would be so lucky to display at their home, office, dojo, etc.
Thanks so much for tuning in!

You really put your heart into making these swords, and I just want to say-well done! Seriously, great work!
Thanks for the kind words, they are much appreciated!
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!
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!
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.
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!

Thanks for tuning in, Christian!
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.
My favorite? No question , the little ninja and her grampa! Great work !
Thanks for tuning in, Ron!
Ролик достоин внимания и лайка! Создателю огромный респект и уважение! Смотрел с удовольствием, хоть и с костылями через VPN
Спасибо большое! Я ценю, что вы посмотрели.
These came out incredible! I love how the copper/silver visually recreate the look of a hamon.
Thanks for checking these out!
I love how you explain the process.
Thanks for tuning in, Tony!
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!!!!
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.
I didn't think the daughter would be that young, I was expecting someone in their 20's. That's one awesome dad to give something like that at that age.
He was quite cool to commission such a blade for his young daughter. Thanks for watching.
Knocked it out of the park sir !!
Gorgeous, art, pure art !
You're a master !
I appreciate you taking a look!
I love these both. What an amazing commission and incredible work!
Thank you so much! I appreciate you taking a look.

Or any piece of his I would give anything that have something to carry with me at all times. This is the best knife maker but I've ever seen their works of art thank you so much for what you do sir
the copper ones pattern reminded me of the beach .very beautiful thanks for sharing
Thank you! Cheers!
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!
the skill set and talent you have is immense

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

Thank you so much!! I hope she continues and does well at her art. Thanks for watching.
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! 🤘
Hope your hand is ok, looks like a decent cut. Great explanation on your process as always.
It was actually just a light scratch, but seemed to bleed a lot. 🤷♂️. Thanks for watching.
Those are beautiful !!!! .. I'm JUST NOW getting into knife making and hope to eventually have the tools and skills to make something even half as beautiful as these !
Keep at it, you'll get there! Thanks for watching.

Well I built that forge. You can watch the build here: ua-cam.com/video/xL8waDrGVlY/v-deo.htmlsi=kIZEgoLt4gPnALQS. Thanks for watching.
I love the ending, when they received the Katanas, so cool!
I’m glad we got to do a presentation for them!
I liked that you participated. It closed the birth cycle of those katanas from inception to the hands of the final owners.
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.
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!
Always looking forward to your builds. This certainly did not disappoint😁
Glad to hear it! Thanks for tuning in!
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.
This is stunning, I’m amazed about your craft👏🏼👍🏼
Thanks so much 😊
Remarkable Craftsmanship. A work of Art 👍👍
Thanks for tuning in, Jerry!
Great work great finished product. Amazing!
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome build! Thank you for everything.
Thanks for your support and trust! 🙏
Nice work!
...why did they ask for "time" to be written on the tsuba?
There are four tenants in their dojo and put onto each guard so I guess time is one of them. Thanks for watching.
Beautiful pieces of art. Wonderful job. Thank you for sharing the build. HNY
Thanks for tuning in!
true blessing having free education. thank you
Thanks for watching, Brian!
Beautiful job man those are some beautiful pieces!
Thank you kindly, Auston.
Absolutely beautiful, as always!
Glad you enjoyed them!
That roller looks like a godsend...gorgeous pieces as per ususal...
It definitely is a godsend! Thanks for tuning in.
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.
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.
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.
You are the best sir. Good job 👏
Thanks so much! I appreciate you taking a look.
That ribbon burner is really holding up very well.
Yup it sure is! Thanks for watching.
They are both very beautiful works of art I’m glad they both love the swords 😍

You do beautiful work. I love both, but I think the copper just pops!
Thanks for tuning in!

I think the pink underneath actually works better. Thanks for watching.
Incredible workmanship! I am so curious as to what you charge for one of those. Give me a reply. Thanks.
Thanks for checking it out! They’re around $10k each.
@TyrellKnifeworks Talk about an heirloom! Thank you for responding so quickly.
Came out sweet looking that pink pops out nicely also
I like the pink too! Thanks for checking it out.
Amazing work !!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
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

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.

is the price of those public? my guess would be 20k each
I like you’re thinking on the price! The set was $17k. Thanks for watching.
@ damn, less than half my guess, very good price, you have to be crazy efficient to make a decent profit!
These take about 6 weeks to make, so not bad. My prices go up each time though 😜
WOW Denis great work.Awesome job…
Thanks for checking it out, Mom!
Wow ! Amazing as always sir !
Thank you so much 😀
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.
I love your channel and love your work
I appreciate that, thanks for watching! ❤️
you knocked it out of the park, nice job
Thanks for checking them out!
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.
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. ;)
very cool ! Nicely done !
Thank you! Cheers!
its weird to see the blade already curved before heat treating. Isnt the curve in the katana given in the tempering process?
It’s during the heat treat, not the temper. I mentioned in the video that a differential heat treat (what that’s actually called) would leave the spine soft and the Damascus wound etch differently and look very odd. Instead the copper/silver acts as a shock absorber and there’s no need to clay the blade to induce the curve. Thanks for watching.
awesome, awesome work Denis
Thanks so much! I appreciate you tuning in, Don.
astonishing work, Denis!

Wow.... So beautiful both katana
Thanks, I appreciate you tuning in!
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!
Very nicely done
Thank you! Cheers!
These are so amazing!!
Thanks for checking them out!
The copper one is a stunner!
Thanks for checking them out!
Personally, I love the copper cu mai!! I’m currently having a custom straight razor made and it is double copper layered..😍
How much do you charge for a sword like this?
These start at around $8k. Thanks for watching.
@ you’re making me wish I had 8K extra lying around!! Beautiful work sir!!
Suatu kepuasan melihat video anda dari awal sampai habis, amazing job👍👍
Terima kasih banyak telah mendengarkan!
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
Yes, I think so too. Thanks for tuning in.
Just wow those are incredible
Thanks for checking them out, Gino!
Was thinking to myself that the guards might be too big, but they look awesome 👍🏿
Thanks for checking out this build!
Both great! Nice pair. Perfect for 2 sword style. 😊
Thanks for checking them out!
The silver one is amazing! How much did it cost the customer?
The pair was $17k. Thanks for watching.
Wow , amazing work
Thank you! Cheers! ❤️
Awesome build 👍👍
Glad you liked it! Thanks for tuning in.
wow amazing work!! What is the approximate price of a katana like the copper one?
These are around $10k. Thanks for watching.
These blades are gorgeous 🥹. I wish I could afford such a delicate piece of work one day ❤
Maybe one day! Thanks for watching!
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.
Absolutely Amazing!!
Thanks for tuning in, Bobby!
Absolutely killed it Denis!!!
Thanks for tuning in, Spencer!
These are so beautiful.
Thanks for taking a look!
