Wow, that’s friggin’ cool! The blue epoxy “river” through the wood makes a perfect ambiance for a knife to be carried and used in the wilderness. The stone washed finish is likewise perfect for a no-nonsense tool. You continue to inspire me. Congratulations, Denis!
A comment for the UA-cam algorithm day 9. Get this guy to recogmended! Best knife maker out there, keep it up! Hope i one day will be able to get one of your knives!:)
I like how you explain stuff. Its just to the point with no rambling. I started pounding steel with my dad when I was 7, we'd make horse shoes for the nags. After he died, I started into forging knives, but then I had a motorcycle accident, and lost an arm.. :( sucks I can't do this anymore, but I still enjoy watching the process. Keep up the good work. 👍
I love how you show how many heats, and how much forging it takes to get close. Very reminiscent of how many heats it takes me to make a KSO. My forge is outside, so it's almost time! Got to get done with the semester, then garden takes president for a few weeks. Then in sweet sweet June, it's forging time!
Good job! That reminded me of what I always say to myself: Bladesmiths don’t make mistakes, they just reprofile and make smaller knives. Adapt and the knife will still be functional art!
Once again i have seen you building a nice, beautiful piece of art. Congrats ! Steady hand, knowledge, lot of practice every day (what else ??!?!), love & dedication... well, this is the reciepe for a succesfull-gorgeous handcraft. I am impressed, realy i am ! Just brilliant how you have streched the steel, how you pulled it from one end to the other, just for give it shape at the forged step. And all stage only from heating & hammered. Pfffff ..... Good job ! Quinching, resting, sharpening and the other steps are part of build of course ... but the magic comes from talent, love for what you are doing and steady hands. Bravos !! Honestly, i.dd like to have one of these pieces of art for my use only ... Keep it ON my friend ! RESPECT !!
Awesome blade, now I'm binge watching. So I can get caught up. That way I don't miss another awesome giveaway!!! Your blades are too special to miss out on.
Knife came out beautiful, brother! As an avid hunter, I was actually glad that you took down the belly! It is more streamlined now, and that's what I like, when skinning my harvest. Keep up the great work, and thank you for sharing! 😎👍🏻🔨🔥🗡️
I like the final profile better than the original. Thanks for sharing. I've had my doubts about forging down wider 3/16 material, and you showed me it can be done.
Awesome knife and vid as always! I really love the way you explain everything you do and the reasoning behind it, can’t wait for the text triple T you mentioned!
Random question that just popped into my head. You've spoken about the material that gets wasted, especially making Damascus. Next time you make a Damascus blade would you consider weighing the piece as you go along? It's obvious watching that you "waste" a good amount of steel but it would be interesting to see how much. Even just weight of the raw materials, weight of the forged blade and weight of the final blade before assembly. This build was a pleasure to watch, thanks for the upload!
Bolts have flat ends screws have pointy ends. Also Sawzal is a reciprocal saw made by Milwaukee, every other recip saw is just (insert brand) recip saw.
Hello Sir, First of all I really enjoy your channel. Very informative educational. Real quick note, the video you made about grinding, nice work and I learned a lot. You mentioned you are going to be putting out more videos on forging. May I request that you cover how to flatten the handle of the knife. Please realize I don’t have a surface grinder. Just hammer and heat. No one ever covers this extremely important step. Cheers!!!
It's cool to see that you going back to the basics:). Making hand forged knife is always a plesure:)! Great work Denis!.. I'm not sure how much people noticed that, but the handle is like water and sand- with your logo it makes pretty awesome composition :)!
La mayoría de mis cuchillos son 1095 es algo de respeto. No uso W1 muy a menudo. Me gustaría conseguir algo de W2, ¡pero es difícil de encontrar! Gracias por ver.
Hi Tim, I’m moved to my own website and off Etsy. Though the website shop is empty because all my inventory is going to the Blade show in LA in two weeks.
This is the knife I started forging to make, it hasn't happened yet. Not enough forging time lol. Stupid work, stupid associates degree, stupid building forges, stupid squirels pulling our my lining and chewing my gas lines. I'm not going to say stupid hunting, because that is my love. Everything I do in life is to become a bad ass hunter like Babe and Steven.
Um…I’m sure you know this, bu if you drill the 1/4” hole frost, you will ensure getting a more perfect alignment of the scales to the blade… It doesn’t always help, but I also find that carefully marking and drilling small gauge pilot holes goes one step further towards a trouble free figment. Nice work,a ship, nice knife, great project! Thanks for sharing.
Except the holes in the blade are 3/16 yo match the smaller section of the corby fasteners. Remember that the corby fasteners have a step so they mechanically hold the scales. If you drill a 1/4 entirely through, then you have no mechanical hold. I guess you could drill 1/4 holes in the tang and then drill the 1/4 holes half way through the scales and try to drill your center holes smaller. I had a perfect fit on these either way. Thanks for watching
@@TyrellKnifeworks Y’know…forget I said anything. If you’re getting a perfect fit, there’s something I missed. And I see now that you’re careful about positioning the larger bit to be concentric with the smaller hole. Sorry, I spoke too soon.
@@craftycorbynsblades6587 For a knife like a skinner that will get blood and grease on it, I think its best to epoxy the scales on so no liquid gets between the tang and the scales.
A team of people?? 🤣 I wish.... no I answer all the comments myself. I feel that is an important way to connect with my viewers so I read and reply to every single one myself. Even the not-so-nice ones. 😜
Sometimes I’m just planishing, meaning flatten the steel, which you do when it’s cooled a bit. Also the color you see in the video sometimes isn’t what I see in person. Thanks for watching.
I heard years ago that the Japanese used to fold the steel over and over. And that's why the Samurai swords were so strong and sharp. Is that true or did I get fed a bowl of pooo. Lol
The Japanese used very primitive steel by today’s standards. The folding was actually to remove impurities in the steel. Folding didn’t itself make it stronger but homogenized the steel more and spread the carbon out more evenly. Illya from That Works channel did a great video on this you might want to check out.
Well first, none of those steels are in this billet. Second, with copper you need to keep it under 1800F or you’ll start to melt out the copper. I have this at the precise temp needed for forging, but thanks for watching.
What do you think of the stone wash finish on this one?
the stonewash Finish looks really cool
I love it. All blades don't need to be shiny. The shark seems to be swimming towards the 'sea' in the handle.

Nice knife and cool idea on using the 2x72 for a tumbler. I really like the Alan choice too, it really pops against the stone washed blade.

Hi Tim, I’m moved to my own website and off Etsy. Though the website shop is empty because all my inventory is going to the Blade show in LA in two weeks.
Sounds good!
Really cool! Could you explain why you drilled so many holes in the handle part?
The holes are for weight reduction. By removing metal from the tang, it balances out the blade so its not handle-heavy. Thanks for watching, Isabela!
This is the knife I started forging to make, it hasn't happened yet. Not enough forging time lol.

Good luck forging when it comes time. Thanks for watching
Quick question, have you ever had a problem with the resin breaking away from the wood when you drill the pin gone so close to the joint?
I don’t use hybrid scales much but I’ve never had a problem. The main issue would be not overheating the pins when you grind. Thanks for watching.
Um…I’m sure you know this, bu if you drill the 1/4” hole frost, you will ensure getting a more perfect alignment of the scales to the blade…
