I decided to go a different direction with the production on this video an go without narration. Let me know your thoughts. If you have questions about this build, please comment below! Thanks for watching! 🙏
Well, as a former viewer of your channel, I appreciate both. But indeed, this no-narrative and new title naming style really can increase the suggestion rate (of utube) to new viewers.
As a non blacksmith who just loves watching the creation of beautiful works of art, I do miss the narration explaining your thought process and what is happening.
Please keep the narration. I like the videos because i get to watch a master perfect his art but i find the narration really educational and helps me to understand the process.
Great work as usual Denis! Definitely giving off those apocalyptic vibes, but still has your signature style! Love it! I always enjoy the narration personally.
That might be the coolest build I’ve ever seen! Great work! Beautiful work! And I can’t even vote for it. Bad ass build! I love how you’ve made a couple builds with file work on the spacers. Nice!
That ostrich bone really elevated the whole aesthetic absolutely unforgettable piece man as far as the video style I mean I like the music choices it's good but I know what I'm looking at you know if I didn't know what I was looking at and what you were doing I might have been confused a little bit in some spots but you still pointed out the more crucial parts through simple communication means
Very very cool sward. I use margarine for epoxy mold release - it's been tested successfully on many types of epoxies and never failed so far - the vaseline is a neat idea. Gorgeous work, as always and a great video :)
I'm a new viewer and subscriber and I don't know how many people will agree with me but I'd rather have you narrate. I don't know anything about forging and I learn a lot when you explain things. I'm a curious guy and I like to know the whys and hows.
Beautiful work! I like having the narrative and not. I've seen enough of your videos to understand your process so I enjoyed just watching you work on this one.
I like this approach to the video. Honestly it works quite well. Of course, there is a lack of information regarding the steel being used and the like but the whole thing works well since it is basically self-explanatory, and the end result is something I think most of us would be proud to have hanging on the wall. Then again, I have always been a fan of San Mai style blades and similar takes on edged weapons. Great work! Plus, I know exactly why you chose to leave the skull in its unfinished state, but I would have at least removed the seam lines and recarved in the teeth of the skull, but actually I would have done my best to clean it up and look as good as I could have possibly made it, including the suture lines the skull showing the fused plates and even recessed the eye sockets a bit deeper and carved in the Nasal openings and the painted them black to match the coloring of the blade. But that is me, and I like your choice just as much, because it reflects the crude nature of the sword's materials.
Very nicely done, as always. As for the narration, I was able to follow along without it, but there were a couple of times I wanted your explanation of why you did something in a particular way (the PID forge temp controller as an aid for CU damascus, for example).
Really love this build. Especially the coffee dip with copper looks really good. Ur making me want to try doing a copper Damascus axe in a similar style. I’m kind of new and haven’t done Damascus yet because it’s intimidating and I don’t have power tools. Do you think it would be possible to do copper Damascus like this using hand hammering? I’m thinking I’d do it similarly to this build but one layer of copper between two pieces of steel
Copper Damascus is very challenging without a press. Many people have a lot of failure doing it by hand. I think you should try a simple San mai first and perfect that before you attempt adding copper. Thanks for watching.

@TyrellKnifeworks shoot i should be thanking you lol 😆 you have helped and educated me on so many new techniques over the years! I still can't wait to come and take your Damascus course. I'm in Sacramento so your not far from me at all lol 😅
@@RomayorForge_Metalworks I'm happy the channel has helped you! Now that our crazy hot weather is over, it's a great time to consider a class. Just reach out via my website! Thanks for watching.
The bronze skull pommel was a good touch. It looks a lot like the scent stopper pommels used on historical pieces. Just curious how long the blade and overall piece is along with the weight.
It's 45" overall with a 33.5" blade. I weighs roughly 3lbs but it's really well balanced about 2 inches ahead of the guard so its and easy swing. Thanks for watching!
Awesome sword build. I think the no narration was an interesting change for you but this video could have used a bit of an introduction to the challenge. Great work centering the skull casting in a 4 jaw chuck!
Does hitting it with the ball-peen hammer work effectively to straighten a curved, heat-treated blade? How reliable is that, first time I've ever see it! Great vid.
It’s not a regular ball peen hammer, it’s a carbide tipped straightening hammer. Watch this video: ruclips.net/video/ENtXTllCfFA/видео.htmlsi=q7fuVuJ_pEvjUDgi. 👍
Sure, that’s a popular method. Nickel and copper together make what’s called mokume gane. You can actually make that using US quarters. If you look back in my videos you’ll see me do it. Obviously it isn’t used for blades but could be fittings and other accents. Thanks for watching.
It’s all about temperature control. You need to forge these around 1800F. You never want to melt the copper at any point, that is generally bad. Thanks for watching.
Inexperienced bladesmith here. Did i see correctly that you used that little ballpeen hammer to straighten the warping post heat treatment? Will that technique work on smaller knives as well?
That’s a carbide tipped hammer. It will work on any knife. Watch this video: ruclips.net/video/ENtXTllCfFA/видео.htmlsi=745_CGIwV8JaSZRH. Thanks for watching.
Beautiful!…for about 2 seconds, I thought you were attaching a plastic skull to it, LOL! Did I miss the video where you talked about the fixture on the grinder or am I just forgetting??

Unfortunately they aren't taping new episodes. I spoke to J.Nielson last weekend about it and they are just putting out what they have in the can. Thanks for the support though.
The ostrich bone had the size and geometry I needed. Plus it’s really thick and sturdy. Definitely stronger than something like a stag antler. Thanks for watching.
It’s actually called a rolling mill. Theres a guy, David Barfield from Oklahoma, that makes and sells them. He doesn’t do social media but if you email me a tyrellknifeworks at gmail, I’ll give you his number. Thanks for watching.
If you ever have to use copper in a pinch for a weapon grab some aluminum and make yourself some aluminum bronze which is almost as good as steel but it's castable which is super useful so say you had a thin strip of steel and you wanted to cast a strong base and have the edge of that strip and laid aluminum bronze would be a good fit for that but that's just my not so humble opinion
I don't know what others are saying, but I love the non-narration videos. The music was so peaceful with the forging. Such a relaxing video to watch. I do like the info you give in your videos too, but hopefully you continue to do silent build videos like this as well because they are great!
Don’t mind the narration but understand how RUclips would usually suggests more without narration. Love the sword, but not personally a fan of the gear on the guard. Also what epoxy did you use in the ostrich handle? I’m trying to do essentially the same handle construction with an empty rosewood handle for a jian (Chinese double edge straight sword) hilt.
Great build man. Blade, and the handle are Perfect, althoug i have to say, i dont really like the parry element. looked.. i dont know, please take no offense, cheap compared to the maticulate else of the sword. i bet a classical parry would have fitted way better 🙂.
I think, your use of copper in the build defies the idea of Apocalyptic builds.... IF there was ever an Apocalypse, and the remaining humans were to survive from scrap and skill, NOONE in their right mind would ever put copper into a blade, as it significantly weakens the blade Copper is a lot softer than steel. There is a reason why warriors and armies switched away from bronze to steel, when they got the chance. Super nice video and beautiful blade - that is ONLY a showcase.
Perhaps you think too much about the topic. 🤣. Also, the copper weapons are as strong as the core steel. The copper is never on the edge so it really doesn’t come into play, it’s just for aesthetics. Thanks for watching.
That’s a great question. We may add this as a topic for a future podcast. I think the most important is attention to detail. Every little thing adds up and if you address all the small things, it becomes very impactful. Obviously you need to be knowledgeable at things like heat treatment but that is also true for a journeyman. Willingness to take risks and push yourself is another great trait. Listen to a future TTT podcast and we’ll discuss this. Thanks for the question, Gene!
I love your channel, and you create some absolutely amazing pieces. While this sword looks really cool, I think it’s fair to say it’s not one of your better builds. The blade is too short to be a long sword. The handle is too long for an arming sword. A hand-and-a-half short sword? 🤔 That and you can clearly hear the fittings rattling while you tested the blade at the end of the video. Great video as always, cool idea on the sword, but, in the immortal words of Randy Jackson, “it’s a nah from me, dawg.”

Is it Possible to use layers of Some high copper steel and a high Nickel steel for making Damascus ???

I have a quick question, how do you get the copper to forge weld properly. So many times I see the copper just melt or not bond with the steel.
