Following you from almost the beginning,you've have become quite the maker. Outstanding videos. 🤙👊👏👏
Thanks for following the channel! I appreciate it!
Wow. Awesome video for another TTT. The scales on that chef knife are gorgeous. What is the wood? Thanks again Dennis!
It’s spalted mango I picked up at Blade Texas. I wish I got more! Thanks for watching, Stephen.
As always great explanations great video and great knife with beautiful handles
Thanh’s do much, Miguel! I appreciate you watching.
I have a lot (my wife says too many) custom knives and all but the Randall and Lyle knives have tapered tangs. I just like it. I didn't know how they did it but I do now. Thank you.
It’s actually a pretty easy process. Thanks for taking a look.
thanks for the great video, i forged in a tapered tang on my first knife build (risky for a newbie) , and quickly found out about the pin angle issue when I went to test fit after drilling my holes 90 degrees without thinking it through. luckily i was able to just ream out the holes a little bit and force the pins in. turned out great but will definitely be doing it this way in the future!
At least you made it work. Thanks for watching!
Great grinding jig! Bob Loveless made some awesome knives with tapered tangs. Nice topic.
Thanks for watching, James!
Ottimo lavoro. Il video è molto interessante. Grazie
Grazie per aver dato un occhiata!
anybody else's mind blown at 5:17 when Dennis used the rear end of the digital calipers to measure depth?! Thanks Dennis - my digital calipers have just become exponentially more useful!
Thats why its there, at least i thought so. I learned that working as a machinist back in the late 90s. Calipers measure in a lot of ways. Just think outside the box.
Yes, there are 4 measuring methods with calipers. Outside, inside, depth and step. 👍. Thanks for watching, Daniel.
Love the videos and appreciate all the work. Still confused about the transition from taper to the flat.
For that I just made sure the transition was right at the ricasso. I blended it on this knife but you can place that transition anywhere on the ricasso. 👍. Thanks for watching, David.
Simple and beutiful.
Thanks for taking a look!
Any questions about this process? It sounds a little more complicated than it is when drilling the pins, but it's really not that hard.
How would you do this without a surface grinder?
I have one where the handle needed corrected, and in forging the tail became thinner than the ricasso. I was LITERALLY just about to go start working on it and just eyeball it on the flat platen by bracing my arm and holding the blade.
This was how i assumed at least some makers do it.
@@jacksin3323 yes you could just eyeball it on the flat platen. It’s just not as accurate. I would definitely recommend you put some layout lines so you know where you are grinding to. Thanks for watching.
This was an interesting video. In this one sword build on Man at arms: reforged, Matt discussed applying a distal taper to the sword tang and how it worked as a kind of a shock absorber.
Matt and I took out JS tests together last June. He’s a good guy. Thanks for watching.
Great video as always. Just out of curiosity , if I sent you a bunch of 1.5" diameter lock washers......could you make a canister Damascus from them ? I'm thinking they could be hardened since they have the spring back to be a lock washer
They are extremely unlikely to be good knife steel. Plus I’m a little too busy for extra projects I’m afraid. Thanks for watching.
thanks for a informative video i have a OBM grinder and OBM surface grinding attachment still have not tried a taper soon i hope! denis may i ask The CPM154 do you need to do a cryo temper? i want to do stainless what do you recommend starting with? thanks Mark 😀👍👍✌
If you’re starting on stainless you should start with AEBL. It’s very cheap and easy. CPM154 is about 4x the price. Both will get an extra point of hrc from cryo but you’ll get about a 1/2 point from putting it in your freezer in some ice. Thanks for watching.
@@TyrellKnifeworks thanks denis
Looks like a fun process to practice.I have a cleaver hanging on the wall that I was flattening on the disk grinder and I inadvertently gave myself a taper on the one side of the tang.. been meaning to taper the otherside. But 😂 well... priorities weren't there and a year later it still hangs. 😂 awesome video Denis! Thanks.
Time to revive that cleaver! Thanks for watching, Matt!
@@TyrellKnifeworks welcome bro! 🙏
Nice job. I've got to practice tapering tangs myself.
For the pins could you just drill them before tapering. Then for the scales just lay them down with the tang under the press and level your table with the drill?
No, think about it, you have 90 degree straight holes that you would be putting onto tapered tangs so your holes won’t be inline. Thanks for watching, Bobby.
Great demo with the paper. I had to rewind the hole drilling a couple of times because it seemed a lot like math, and I have a naturally occurring adverse reaction to math (LOL). Definitely going to give it a shot on the next build. If you’re ever in need of TTT content, I’d love a tutorial on Knifeprint. I know there’s others out there, but I’d love to see you design a knife from start to finish. I just bought the pro version 2.0. Thanks Dennis!
Well stay tuned, Jason! I may be partnering with the KnifePrint folks and teaching some masterclasses for them! 😉
@Tyrell Knifeworks it's almost like you can read my mind...or vice-versa...spooky! Anyway, if you could include some tablet content (iPad) since v2 is compatible with tablets, it would be greatly appreciated. Especially using a stylus and touch screen over a mouse. Thanks for all you contribute!
@@jasonvliet-odonataknifeworks hmm.. unlikely since I don't have a tablet. I will be using a mac with a touchpad though.
@@TyrellKnifeworks That’s fine…just ask them if they have any pointers to share in regard to tablet use over PC or Mac. You also might mention to them that they’re not very good at answering emails. Thanks Dennis!
I am trying to create a pdf for knifemaking, I am buying a stamp to mark my blades, how do I do it? How did you do it?
Do you mean you want to get some electro etching stamps made? Get your graphics of your logo and contact IMG Electromark to get them made. 👍. Thanks for watching, Willard.
جالب بود.
can you make one like this about the Distal taper of a knife blade ???
I just did that on the takedown Bowie I did. Watch this: ruclips.net/video/-9-djvLTVu0/видео.html. Thanks for watching.
@@TyrellKnifeworks ah ok , thank you sir
Can you do a tutorial on how to do this without a surface grinder?
I think to get it accurate you'd have to use the dreaded hand files!
You would just have to put layout lines and grind it on your flat platen. Certainly doable but not as accurate. Thanks for watching.
@@brysonalden5414 I do all my knife work with a 1/2 inch automotive belt sander lol. You can do it with whatever you got as long as you got the skill.
use a machine magnet on your flat grinds with the knife pointing down, you will automatically put more pressure on the end of the tang, giving it a nice taper
👍
Me realizing that the bar at the end of the callipers can measure depth... 🤯
Haha, yeah it sure can. There are 4 measuring methods with calipers. 😉. Thanhs for watching, Justin.
@@TyrellKnifeworks I’m going to go play with my callipers. Lol
