For those asking: 1) This one is already sold. I do not do custom orders because this is just a hobby and I only sell what I make or the channel. I have some knives available on my website, check those out (link in every video description). 2) Yes I'm aware that the curve in a traditional katana is from the heat treating process. I chose to not differentially heat treat this blade because it is damascus-cladded. If you apply clay and get a hamon, the steel above the hamon will be soft and the damascus will look terrible. The copper takes the place of the hamon aesthetically and also provides shock absorption. 3) The copper bond is very strong. The copper in the blade is a thin sheet over the central core of high carbon steel which is also the cutting edge. The copper brazing bond is in excess of 70000 psi in tensile strength and you'll destroy the blade before you shear the layers apart. 4) Galvanic corrosion requires the presence of an electrolyte (like saltwater). Keep the blade clean and dry and oil it on occasion like you should with any carbon steel blade and it will last a lifetime. Basically if you keep the steel from rusting, the copper will be just fine. Thx.
I was wondering about how this kind of blade would stand up to combat stresses seeing as copper is such a soft metal and it feels counter intuitive to use it making a Damascus.
However, having used it the way you have in your explanation I guess it'll endure just fine.
Have you considered a Bronze Damascus blade, or experimenting with other metals to make Damascus blades?
I know it will never happen but I wish people would stop calling this stuff "Damascus" because its not. Its pattern-welded steel. Researchers re-invented the Damascus process back in the 1990s, but aside from that no one has made real Damascus steel in more than 500 years.
That answers my question about the copper bond.
@@Sajuuk brass and bronze layering is certainly possible and people have done it. It’s a bit trickier because the melting point of brass/bronze is about 1650F whereas copper is 1950F. There’s less margin for error with the brass/bronze.
@@TheSpenceFencer and I wish people who have watched a video and want to tell the world what they know should refrain from telling real bladesmiths what terms to use. “Damascus” is the accepted term for both crucible steel and pattern welded. Every smith out there, including master smiths, will call it Damascus. The ABS calls it Damascus. If we wanted to refer to crucible steel we’d call it Wootz. Plus Wootz has been and is still made today. Sorry, if this comes off snarky but I’m tired of being “corrected” by armchair warriors who have never forged a blade. This comes off incredibly pretentious to actual bladesmiths.
This dude is a welder, carpenter, fabricator, painter, engraver, all on a master level. Pretty cool.
Thanks so much, Jonathan! I appreciate you taking a look.
And a metallurgist. Yes, very cool
wrr
You forgot to mention the filming and Video editing skills
Also he is spearfisher man….
Probably the most gorgeous piece I've seen in a long time. Absolutely phenomenal.
Thanks so much, Matt! I appreciate that!
yea with damascus you cant go wrong they alway have such beauthfull folding i love how he added that copper lining like its some thunderbolt lol i will buy some damascus knifes for my kitchen as well wish i had forge im very good at sharpening and restorations of old axes knifes etc but i would love to bring my ideas into the life too bad where i live cant have any kind of forging
@@HeLrAiSiNg1 Where doesn't allow forging? is it where you need a license or something?
@@ryanw4182 well for forging things you mostly need a backyard where i live is very populated area in a 6 floor tall building 2 addresses buildings together and i live on 1st floor with small balcony i dont think i can start some morning hammering metal can i ? Also the problem is how i light up fire without making fumes ppls will go karen level
Yes I was about to write the same thing but with simpler words. Really beautiful!
This dude doesn't just make swords and knives. He creates art. Absolutely stunning art. If somebody stabbed me with this sword i would apologize for getting it dirty.
Thanks so much! I appreciate you following the channel. ❤️
Türkmüsün 😂😂😂
Lol😂😂
Lmao!
This is easily the most gorgeous “Dark and Edgy” sword I have ever seen. The marbling of the Damascus is sensational. The detail work on the handle and guard are beautifully executed.
Props to you! 11.5/10 on this one!
Wow, thank you! I appreciate you checking it out. ❤️
the final result on the blade gave me chills, it looks beautiful.
Thanks for checking it out!
J'ai envie d'avoir des machines pour forger pareil moi aussi 😭
@@tktpasmze J'ai construit ma presse hydraulique abd gaveca vidéo le montrant avec une liste de pièces. 👍
@@TyrellKnifeworks merci pour l'information 😊
This blade looks like it could be a blade of legend. Seeing the finished reveal left my jaw down and speechless. Truly beautiful piece.
Thanks so much! I appreciate you watching
my jaw was literally to the floor when i saw the finished product
That is an AMAZING blade
@@TyrellKnifeworks kind of makes me wish it was the Edo period again to see it in action. (though not really)
I am Japanese and have the opportunity to see swords on a daily basis and I must say your swords are beautiful.
Thanhs so much! I appreciate you watching.
Man... the samurais would literally kill for this sword!
Gorgeous piece!!!!
Thanks for taking a look. If you like this one, stay tuned for another katana build next month!
I don't think so, only us would find this beautiful, Traditional Samurais find this disrespectful, they rather human maid forge than machine forged, they find it disrespectul when not folding the iron.
@@videoplayback_ Oh, did you go and ask them?
If the samurais from the edo period see this work of art they might praise it as the most legendary sword and you as the legendary blacksmith who gave the most powerful samurai the coolest blade ever.
@@Mr.hazu123 No...they all would be sad because this sword would fail tameshigiri. This really just a display piece
Aside from wanting to say this is an absolutely gorgeous piece, I wanted to comment on the graphics you added to represent the billet during the initial forging process. That was actually very informative and helpful, and I haven't seen that on other channels.
I’m glad the graphics are helpful. I add those for any of the complex patterns. Thanks for watching!
Totally agree.
Wish more people added that graphic. It helps to visualize end product. Something I always struggle with. . . .
That copper edge on the hamon is amazing. The way it acts as an accent line between the all-black edge and the damascus blade just looks so good.
Thanks so much for checking out this build!
Hamon? There is no hamon in this piece.
To be honest, a lot of respect and credit for this idea to make this creative and beautiful pattern
@@MegaFregel Hamon is a differentiation line between high carbon edge and low carbon spine, which comes as a curved pattern.
@@izzy_theog9658 and?
What an astonishing array of skills. It seems like a lifetime wouldn’t be enough to acquire them all.
_Beautiful!_
Thanks so much! I've actually only been bladesmithing for about 5 years. If you have the passion, you progress quickly. 😉. Thanks for watching.
@@TyrellKnifeworksfaz uma wakizashi de bronze de bismuto!
Wow, I was not expecting that reveal. The pattern of the copper contrasting the damascus is amazing
Thanks for checking it out!
@@TyrellKnifeworks thanks for making swords that I would love to have. Beautiful!
This is more than a sword. This is art
Thanks for checking it out, Dave!
@@PrinceVegeta-bj3uq sorry, I’m not taking custom orders.
@@TyrellKnifeworks oh shit 🤦♂️
Sword art and it was posted online so is it sword art online?
@@emoticpen404 I see what you did there and I respect your choice
I'm a software developer, somehow RUclips suggested this video to me and I ended up fully watching it ..
The passion and hard work you're putting into this is amazing, the beautiful result totally reflects that.
You have my respect.
Thanks for taking a look! PS - I'm a director of engineering at a software company as my regular day job. 😉
@@user-vq2jz7tg4g watch my Beginner Series playlist. That will help you get started. 👍
ha same, yo Tyrell how'd you end up in the IT section
@@matejskerjanc7703 I took computer science in university and went from programmer to management.
@@TyrellKnifeworks and this is your hobby? no way you make these knives as a hobby are you a wizard Tyrell??
this is for sure and by far the most beautiful blade that I ever saw
Checkout my recent silver Dana’s us katana. 😉. Thanks for watching.
Man should participate in Forged in fire, would whipe the competition
I’m not sure the show will continue I’m afraid. I’ve sent in an application long ago though. 😉. Thanks for watching.
@@TyrellKnifeworks aww man, they missed out on some wicked blades. Keep it up, from the blades I've seen you make, I just know that Doug would say "It will keel."
If I had just skipped to the end without watching the whole process of you making it, I would have believed this is a sword used as a movie prop, or a video game asset or something like that because it looks so clean and perfect. It is so surreal the end result you achieved, the detail on the blade is beautiful and unlike anything I have ever seen, I feel like there is no one who could happily own this without feeling like it is wasted on them.
Thanks so much, Jonah! I appreciate you taking a look! ❤️
If i possed that weapon... i would be dissapointed that in my lifetime... i would not give it honor of use.... or the opponent a gloirious death.
@@TyrellKnifeworks you also deserve credit for taking the time to reply to all these comments, make sure you have time for other things, like, y'know, eating and sleeping and such...
@@YeoshuaBenkamin ok dude who can't even write.
@@jonahdevries1509 like Keith Richards said… you’ll get all the sleep you need when you’re dead. 🤣
I've never seen this done before ,and l have to say,it is extremely beautiful.llove the contrast between the bright copper and the darker damascus
Thanks for checking it out!
OMG! That is almost exactly what i was imagining for the story i mentioned in the silver Damascus katana . Thank you for helping me not only envision it, but get an idea how to make it. Bravo for a beautiful blade.
Thanks for watching, Patrick!
I've never seen this done before, and I have to say, it is extremely beautiful. I love the contrast between the bright copper and the darker damascus.
Thanks for taking a look
Most beautiful katana I've ever seen. A true masterpiece. The copper contrast with the blackened Damascus is like red lightning bolting through thick, dark clouds.
Thanks for checking it out! There is a process by which you can make the copper a crimson red color... still working on that. 😉
edgy.....
@@zyphar7323 I would say that's the point, but it's very obviously the edge.
@@zyphar7323 wow, a very cutting remark you got there
@@nothingtoseehere1221 me and my mates were watching the video together. When the boys gather around you always say stupid stuff ya know.
Goat of the Katana, absolutely amazing master piece. What a depth you have given on all the way. Respect.
Thanks for taking a look!
That's such a beautiful sword !!! i love the copper waves effect. Huge congrats and may it serve you well for many years !!!
Well this one was sold the day the video released. Thanks for checking it out. If you like this one then take a look at my recent katana build with pure silver. 😉
This is for sure one the most beautiful katanas i have ever seen. The copper, the damascus and the black colored steel are just working so nice together. Awesome job!
Thanks so much for checking out this build!
Exactly my thoughts. The colors, the pattern, the Decoration are all Peak and perfect
As a wood worker I would like to say the amount of diversity in your skills from wood to metal is very impressive. Your work is beautiful and attention to detail is so good to see, someone not skimping when there is a small flaw. Huge respect!
Thank so much! I appreciate you watching.
This video was posted almost a year ago and he still replies to comments. This guy clearly loves what he does. Beautiful piece man.
Yup, I still reply to all comments, even for years ago. Thanks for watching!
Man the colour, the contrast, its just so gorgeous, the process is even more satisfying and informative. you just got yourself a lifetime subscriber
Welcome to the channel! I appreciate you taking a look and watching!
I just want to say that the visual representation of how the pattern was formed is genius, and is great for helping the viewer keep track of the pattern.
I'm glad the graphics helped you, Nick! Thanks for watching.
@@TyrellKnifeworks Yea, that stood the most for me. Amazing job.
The different processes you used to make the sword were truly amazing. You sir are phenomenal.
Thanks so much! I appreciate you taking a look
Back again a year later I will never get over how beautiful this sword turned out.
You’ll want to watch my next katana build in a few weeks! I think it’s more impressive than this one. Thanks for watching.
when you showed it finished, i was astonished. i was already expecting it to be gorgeous, but somehow you managed to surprise me! the pattern in the steel looks stunning, and all that copper too! probably the most beautiful katana i’ve ever seen.
Thanks so much, William! I’m glad I could surprise you. 😉
An absolute piece of brilliance and artistry....I've not felt it boring for a single second in the whole 27min video....Wish you could sell it on a platform
Thanks so much! Sorry, but this build is already sold. Thanks for watching
@@TyrellKnifeworks how much would something of this caliber sell for? I'm not big on katanas, but this thing is a work of pure skill and attention
@@thomaslikescars it was 100 hours of labor (and that’s not minimum wage) plus about $300 in materials. I’m sure you can get a ballpark.
@@thomaslikescars atleast 10k, not even minimum
Dang!!! This is Awesome. The style, the colour everything is beautiful
Thanks so much! I appreciate you tuning in.
Literally just commented on the first vid I've ever seen just a few minutes ago, an now here it is gosh!!! I'd love to see your shop!!!! What a true precision professional!!!
Thanks so much! I appreciate you checking out these builds.
The blade was truly beautiful, Damascus blade looked incredible, I could watch forging videos like this for HOURS but this is definitely one of my top 3, great work, I enjoy the content and keep up the good work
Thanks so much for watching! Many other cool builds in the video library and always more to come. 👍
That is absolutely stunning. I can’t imagine what it looks like in person. Tremendous work!
Thanks for taking a look, Kelly!
Brilliant work! Gorgeous blade! 🙌🏻
Thank you! Cheers!
Easily one of the most gorgeous blades I've ever seen. Came out phenomenal 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks so much! Definitely checkout the next katana I’m making for the Samurai Challenge next month!
Seriously considering learning the basics of forging to one day attempt a project like this. It has been etched in my brain for weeks. Absolutely stunning build!
You should give bladesmithing a try. Checkout my Beginner Series playlist, that will help you get started. Thanks for watching.
I'm being 100% genuine when I say...never before have I seen another katana as beautiful as this one. Truly exquisite craftsmanship! Well done!
Thanks so much! I appreciate you watching
I just found this channel and tyrell is really good, I've never seen copper infused into a blade before. I like some of Kyle Royer's work also
@@c.r.f.4412 Kyle Royer is a huge inspiration of mine. I’ve met him several times and he reviewed my work this June at Blade. It was an honor.
@@TyrellKnifeworks that's awesome man, I definitely appreciate your attention to detail it makes for interesting content. Take care
look up one of Alec Steels old projects :) basicly the excact same... but done long ago.
This is truly outstanding. The finished article is a true work of art, an absolutely stunning katana.
Thank you very much!
Wow such beautiful blade
I had repeated the last part 10 times to see the satisfying finish of the blade.
You got a really great experience nice.
Thanks for checking out this build!
This is without a doubt, the most beautiful katana I’ve ever seen. Amazing work and attention to detail. You are a master craftsmen.
Thanks so much! I appreciate you checking it out!
I've been recently wanting to see someone make a copper layered katana, and here it is, AND better than I had imagined it to look. Kudos my friend, kudos!
It can often be very difficult to bridge the gap between base idea or materials, and the finished thing. Arts and crafts to... anything and everything, really - it's irritatingly hard to try and find the points in between, because I struggle to think of anything else except for an end point, or a blank slate.
So seeing a video about the process of a thing, not even something half as beautiful as this, is always fascinating. It's amazing and inspiring work, both far more complex *and* simple than I would have thought, at the same time.
Thanks so much! I appreciate you taking a look. ❤️
amazing piece, the way the ocean theme with the sharks, stingray skin and waves are spread all across it makes it even more unique.
Thanks for checking out this build! Stay tuned for The Samurai Challenge in Oct for another interesting build!
That is certainly the best katana build I’ve seen. Structure in the layers looks awesome dude and that dark finish on the blade really gives it nice contrast!! I don’t envy the amount of hand sanding that took to get that though haha. Amazing work sir! Please keep doing what you do.
Thanks so much for watching, Chris!
See more.
Although I'd say it's 8/10 in looks it's 7/10 in build. (still high)
doesn't mean I haven't enjoyed it. I just went through tons of katana builds - that's why I'm cranky xD
I really appreciate the graphics you put in the corner to illustrate what each step of the Damascus making process was going to accomplish for the pattern. Also, that sword is absolutely gorgeous, excellent work!
I'm glad the graphics are helpful. Thanks for watching!
Same! It’s the first time I’ve seen something like that and it blew me away how you manipulate and control the pattern. Absolutely incredible!
I liked that too
Absolutely stunning! What a work of art!!
Stay tuned next month for another katana build as part of the Samurai Challenge! Thanks for watching
Love the way the pattern changes are being shown with each folds and twists
I’m glad the graphics help you understand the pattern. Thanks for watching
I like how you literally each step answered any questions by answering them before we could even think of anything to ask. Great job And you are the only person to say the Japanese names for things like handle and wrap.
GREAT job. See ya on another video some day.
Thanks so much for watching, Bill!
This sword looks like something straight out of a sci-fi ninja movie.
Absolutely beautiful piece.
Great work man.
Edit: tysm for the likes
Thanks for checking it out!
Never!!!
I was thinkin it was demon slayer esq xD
Curved katanas are better than straight katanas, and has been proven.
@@Zombie-TV yeah, I don't think that is in debate. The sori on this katana is exactly within specifications of a katana of this length. It has a 1.25" sori for a 27" blade.
The graphic in the corner is great, it really helps the uninitiated like me understand what each tool does and what the pattern is inside. Thanks,
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching, Chris
A true masterpiece. Without exaggeration. The pattern, the detailing, the functionality. I can imagine the grip! Thanks buddy! Great work!
Thanks for checking out this build!
Incredible work!!
Thank you! Cheers!
probably, if this katana had existed in the edo period, it would have come down to us as the most beautiful blade ever created... there are no words to describe the level of aesthetics you have achieved. honor to you, great man. thank you for allowing me to admire such a beauty ..
Thanks so much! I appreciate you taking a look!
wr, cepuxuax, sayx, can sayx etc any nmw s perfx
Imagine if it managed to make it all the way down to modern day? Imagine the historical awe of seeing such a thing?
This would be the stuff of legends.
By no means a traditional かたな build, but still beautiful! I love watching people use different methods to create cultural pieces. It shows the unique beauty that happens when cultures merge.
Edit: how do you keep your copper pieces from tarnishing?
As long as you keep the sword clean and dry and put a bit of oil on it, it will continue to look great. If it does tarnish a bit, a few wipes with a sunshine cloth or a light buffing will return it to its original lustre. Thanks for watching.

I’m glad the graphics are helpful. Thanks for watching!
Dude… I would love to afford something like this, absolutely stunning. You’re a master at what you do man props!
Thanks for watching, Anthony!
what an amazing piece of art
Thanks for checking it out!
wow this is a quite unique piece... it blows my mind, absolutely phenomenal work! A huge respect to you Sir!
Thank you very much! I appreciate you taking a look
Absolutely stunning blade! The beautiful contrast between the dark steel and the copper is amazing. I would be proud to own such a wonderful piece.
Thanks for checking Kong out this build, Kris!
Wow. The surface appearance of that blade is stunning, man. Your processes are really nice and your workmanship is inspirational.
Thanks so much, Scott! I appreciate you checking out the video library.
As a backyard Blacksmith there are times in my life when I think I'm really good at making swords, and I start getting a swelled head. I then come back and watch this build to give me a reality check 😅
Keep at it and you’ll be making something like this. I’ve been bladesmithing only 5 years. Thanks for watching.
1st time I've seen the structure diagram for each step.
Well done, makes it more interesting, understandable.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching, Kevin.
I have to admit, I was thoroughly happy watching you go through the entire process. Especially the menuki, adding the makers mark, and the little details that went into it. I've seen several videos of people making swords that typically leave me scratching my head or disappointed in what they omit, as someone who's studied weaponry for about 10ish years now. Gotta say yours was a nice and unique spin on it and your reasoning was solid. Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much, Mateus! I appreciate you watching!
There are no words that can describe the positive emotions I’m feeling right now. That blade is so _beautiful, gorgeous, magnificent, majestic, breathtaking,_ etc. Huh, maybe there are a few words, but _definitely_ not enough…
Thanks so much! I appreciate you checking out this build! ❤️
Just impressive work!
Thanks for checking it out!
Well it's something more then just a katana. The time and hardwork it takes. The patience it need. And most importantly the skills and experience it takes. You are just a master .
Thanks for taking a look!
Man, that unsheath had me screeching, that's a beautiful blade. But not only that, you talked about the process, not something a lot of bladesmiths do, and I appreciate the insight into how the effect was achieved. (And even more, the idea that you can layer something between Damascus like this in the first place - would that I had the skill to realize the ideas this gives...)
Thanks so much! Few appreciate the effort that goes into the making of this blade. Many have "expert knowledge" from video games and anime and like to comment on what I did wrong. 🤣. Thanks for watching!
Bruh, when he revealed the end result I levitated. That's possibly one of the most gorgeous sword I've ever seen
Thanks so much for watching, Nabeel!
Wow, absolutely stunning. Amazing work tk.
Thanks for taking a look, Paul.
Just wow wow wow. Congratulations! That’s one hell of a work. You sir have all my respect for what you’re capable of doing.
Thanks for checking it out. Be sure to watch the Samurai Challenge next month to see my next katana. You don’t want to miss that one. 😉
Absolutely beautiful! When will people start realizing that it's not just a tool of destruction, but extremely creative art, that takes skill and patience to learn how to do and make. Tons of respect for you Tyrell!!!
Thanks so much! I appreciate you taking a look.
That is absolutely stunning! Probably my favorite piece i've seen you make! Keep up the amazing work!
Thanks so much! It was a fun but challenging build. Certainly the longest blade I’ve done.
You really seem to take your time to answer your viewers questions. Very respectable.
Yes, I do answer every comment. Thanks for watching, Kevin.
Wow, amazing work, you are one stop shop, you did it all, true admiration for your craftsmanship!!
Thank you so much 😀
Sir your truly an amazing skilled artist . My moms family were sword makers in Hokkaido Japan . Your katana is exquisite made for a Shogun . Thanks 🙏🏼
Thanks for taking a look, Mark!
There is still sword makers?
@@PDBisht
They were sword makers back in the day before it was outlawed
@@PDBisht Oh yes, quite a few. Particularly in Japan.
@@marktakata3418 How old this was, where i live i can't recall any sword makers or any one who knows them it's like probably 200 yrs old when they used to make swords lol
