What do you think of turkish twist damascus?

[@asaga2035]

Amazing. Could you perhaps do an Arabic dagger 🗡️. Pretty sure you’ll perfect it

[@f.b.jeffers0n]

Absolutely love it!

[@RainyDayForge]

It looks great! Definitely something that I’ll be attempting .

[@wellywanderer]

Dude! This is beautiful. I think it's my favourite pattern of all the Damascus you have made. I love the flow in the design.

[@bacchus_builds]

That pattern is gorgeous!

I'm a Turk, It's an honor to see other nations are interest in our culture and i have to say your work is a masterpiece for sure

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Thanks for taking a look!

[@KeithSkates]

Beautiful knife. I really appreciate you talking about your "mistakes" and changes in your design for it during the process.
Too many people talk about their work like everything always goes exactly how they intended it to from the start. Anyone who has done any type of craft work knows that's not how things really go.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

These are just a series of problems to solve. They almost never go exactly as planned. Thanks for watching, Keith!

[@kanuni3386]

A very beautiful dagger, it is obvious at first glance that it really requires a good craftsmanship. Love from Turkey

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

[@Bigdaddyslasher]

That's pretty slick use of that wrist breaker, right angle Milwaukee drill.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

I’ve done a video on how to build these. You can check it out here: ruclips.net/video/x2COKmDjGnQ/видео.html. Thanks for watching.

[@nicholaseedy3244]

Absolute beaut of a knife. She didn't come easy but you stayed with it and got something great out of that hard work.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Yeah, this one has its fair share of issues! Thanks for watching, Nicholas.

[@Webby123]

I very much enjoyed this build. I like how you found new meaning for that fourth piece of steel in the hand guard. The materials came together, very very well in this knife, and I know you wanted to use gold, but I knew when you held all the pieces together, that silver was the perfect match for this particular knife.
I appreciate your way of filming. I like the fast motion. I also appreciate that your short sweet to the point with comments, It leaves more attention to watch your skill. Thank you.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

I’m glad you like the flow of the video. Thanks for watching!

[@Webby123]

I put in my comment before the end of the video, but I have to stop and say, after seeing the finished knife that domestic pattern is spot on beautiful, you nailed it! You’re very good at moving with the punches. Three times you brought it back on course. Definitely a knife you could put your makers mark on. Thanks for another beautiful gorgeous fighter.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Thanks for checking out this build. ❤️

[@Webby123]

An idea for highlighting/pinstriping, let’s look at the ordinary highlighted pommel, the highlight would in circle the pommel like a belt, what if you used dots alternatively?
Idea: In your Damascus steel, is it possible to incorporate Not just one highlighted layer but let’s say three? I’m thinking gold, copper, and I think silver closest to the knife edge?

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

@@Webby123yes, all this is possible. Maybe in a future build.

[@bobgore1962]

Awesome build, Denis! It came out really nice, especially since you were 'shooting from the hip, on the design! Normally, I'm not a fan of that type of guard, but I think it works well, on this knife. Thanks for sharing my brother! 😎👍🏻🔨🔥🔪

[@stephenrigney7242]

Really appreciate that you include "simple" mistakes like forgetting to change the drill direction. I think it really adds to the idea of craftmanship as a constant process, not just a finished skill.
As someone who can nothing on metalwork, why don't you go straight to the surface grinder when removing the grooves from the twist? Less control of material removal?

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

I always say, these are a series of problems to solve. As for the surface grinder, I was taking off the majority of the scale first so it “stuck” well to the magnets. Thanks for watching.

[@redwolfknives3174]

Amazing build! Gorgeous work! I think that was interesting with the front spacer. It looks epic how it turned out!

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Thanks so much! I was a bit upset about the silver in the spacer when it happened but I think it turned out better after all.

[@benjamineaster589]

Funny this came up today, as I welded up 4 small stacks last night, to make some Turkish twist today… thanks for the tips👍

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

The key is don’t forge it too thin, you need to grind into it and test etch to get the “stars”. Thanhs for watching and good luck!

[@chrisgenovese8188]

That Damascus turned out incredible. The whole build, really! I love how bombastic and elegant your pieces turn out. Unmistakably works of art.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Thanks so much, Chris! I appreciate you taking a look.

[@MrSoloun]

I've never really liked the twist until seeing this and that one you showed as an example at the beginning. It really came out amazing :) Great blade and vid, thanks for sharing the build.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

The key to twist is how much you grind into it. 👍. Thanks for watching
