I made a mistake in the video, the sterling silver was $660, it was the huge piece of pure silver that was $1000. I've had a lot of people ask if I would do this with gold... I've already done a 24k gold build which you can checkout here: ruclips.net/video/ztyqN03nriQ/видео.html. Let me know if you have other questions. Thanks for watching!
Do one with separate levels one base one silver one base one gold one base one copper one base and see if it comes out really cool or ???
Weapons are nice but I'm a lover 😂 could you make a Damascus wok? Is that even possible?
@@stuart207 I probably could, but I'm a knifemaker, not a pot maker.
Cảm ơn bạn vì video , tui rất yêu KATANA , tui người việt nam 🇻🇳 rất thích video bạn làm về dao
Nice item
"Silver for monsters, Steel for men"
Tyrell: "well how about both Geralt"
Who’s the gold for then? 😜. Thanks for watching.
@@TyrellKnifeworksI’m pretty sure gold is actually for something just can’t remember what lol

@@kieronsullivan9515 A were rabbit! 24 karat!
It’s so strangely satisfying to watch a master craftsman and artist create something that obviously took hundreds of hours over multiple months condensed down to 30 or 40 wonderful minutes. Keep up the amazing work.
These do take quite awhile but are very rewarding in the end. Thanks for watching, Matthew.
The jet black and silver contrast is perfect! Great decision!
Gotta love black and silver! Thanks for watching.
Stunning piece my friend. It's just beautiful. Congrats :)
Thanks so much! I appreciate you checking it out. I'm trying to get through all the participant videos before I move on to the judges so I haven't seen yours yet. Looking forward to it though since it's different... different is good! 😉
Rrrm🎉❤😊m

@@NazriB ??
The contrast between the silver and Damascus came out great. Amazing work!
Thanks so much, James! The silver is sooo shiny, the pics don’t even do it justice. 😉
The jet black edge to silver to damascus transition was absolutely sweet, and I'm glad you did the fuller, as the repetition of silver further up gave it fantastic visual balance.
Thanks! I do like the black against the silver. The fuller was a late addition for weight and balance but they always look good in these layered constructions. Thanks for watching!
Dude, anyone telling YOU how to do something needs to think a bit more about what you are trying to accomplish. I think you got it figured out. 👍🏻
Ha, well everyone has an opinion they want to “share”, particularly on RUclips. 🤣. Thanks for watching!
Nah... the Japanese wouldn't agree with you. This ain't katana.
That is possibly the most beautiful katana I've ever seen.
Thanks for taking a look!
@@TyrellKnifeworksHi, what is the aprox price of this work of art?
@@JamesJames-jt3tsthis one sold for $10k.
@TyrellKnifeworks That is a bit lower than I would have guessed.
I'd always been a HUGE fan of the copper but this is on a new level! It looks great. The sword came out really well though I am not a fan of the fuller. I am busy with a mod for Cyberpunk 2077, creating a black katana with a copper line through the blade. Because you were the inspiration I want to call it the Tyrell katana.
Ah, that’s cool! Thanks for watching!
Works as an homage to Bladerunner too. I also loved the copper damascus, but this is also stunning work.
That's pretty badass, lolz. Hope it comes out great!
if silver is the moon, you should create a sun thats made of gold and these 2 will become a great twins
I’ve done a 24k gold Damascus build already, though not a sword. It is very cost prohibitive to do something like a sword I’m afraid. Thanks for watching.
Wow. Thank you for sharing your process.
Thanks for taking a look!
I have been recommending several knife makers to make a silver pattern welded blade for a long time, because Silver is my favorite precious metal. I don't know if you are the first RUclipsr knife maker to make one, but you're the first one I have seen make one successfully. Even if you had some melt out it makes no real difference because irregularity is the name of the game for pattern welding blades. Every part of this build is beautiful and for you to build and wrap the handle according to traditional Katana making in Japan, makes this build so beautiful, that I am struggling to find words that are proper. You did a fantastic job sir, as is always the case with your builds. Thanks for sharing, and I must add, that your build, even though you are a judge, will act as an example for other knife makers to follow. I think that your work is going to be one of the best in the challenge. Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks so much! I really appreciate the comments and most of all you watching! These challenges are meant to push people’s comfort zones, including my own. Thanks for watching!
I think out of all your projects I've watched over the years, definitely the most ambitious in terms of that 'risk factor' of having it all come together in the end. Somehow, it worked so well done you!
Thanks so much, Kris! I appreciate you following the channel. 🙏
Close second. The gold sword takes the cake.
This really just looks incredible. If you don't already, you should display the silver, copper, and gold katanas together like some sort of olympic medals.
These all get sold. This one has been at its new home since Nov. thanks for watching.
At first I was confused by the silver in the damascus pattern, but after seeing I'm believing. A fine blade you've forged!
Thanks for checking out this build!
Your attention to detail is exquisite. You make an excellent role model for the bladesmith community.
Thanks so much! I really appreciate that! ❤️
I'm glad you opted for adding the fuller. A technical decision that ended up being probably the most striking aesthetic characteristic of the blade.
I agree! It was for technical reasons to lighten the blade and balance but fullers always look very cool with these layered constructions! Thanks for watching!
Beautiful work and to see it cut so well at the end is amazing. Great job on this.
Thanks for taking a look, Steven!
I was fortunate enough to be able to see the work of art for myself at Blade West last weekend. Denis is totally correct in saying pictures and video does not do this blade any justice, you have to see it in person. Denis it was a pleasure again meeting you again!!!!
Thanks so much, Randall! It was great talking with you.
This katana turned out fantastic! It's got a modern look to it, while keeping the overall traditional look! Really great job! Very classy! 🤔😁👍
Thanks so much, Michael! I appreciate you watching.
the blade has something of primal and mystical in the lines of the damascus. I like the prevailing of the black on the silver too. It's a masterpiece in every part
Thanks so much! I appreciate you checking it out. ❤️
Love watching these videos. The uploader often gives close up footage whereby can actually see more detail of whats happening during the processes, and gives a bit of explanations so you're not left with having to wonder about a whole lot. Oh and there's NO STUPID MUSIC! Thank you!
Thanks for checking out this build! I’ve learned long ago that people prefer the machine noises and narration over music. 😉
That is a beautiful piece. Thank you for sharing it.
Thank you very much!
Having never made a sword or a knife; your channel is a genuine inspiration ! I am looking to begin my own knife making education soon and your videos are so helpful in this regard ! This sword is a work of art and you are a genuine craftsman !!! Such a beautiful creation !!
Thanks so much, Joseph! Checkout my Beginner Series playlist to get started. 👍
@@TyrellKnifeworks Will definitely watch those to get my head around it as there is a lot to learn ! Thanks for your videos
Sweet sword. My favorite part is the fuller and how it makes those little splotches of silver come out. It brings a whole different asthetic to the whole piece. Great work.
Thanks, JP! I’ll be checking out the other builds tonight when I get more time.
Once again an awesome piece of artwork. You are so skilled and the narration make this project come alive. Congratulations sir.
Thank you very much, Rick!
Thats an effing gorgeous blade m8. Really loved watching your journey in making it. Keep up the awesome work man
Thanks for checking it out! ❤️
Phenomenal work as always, sir! Love that silver in there; next level.
Thanks, James! I’ll be watching the other builds soon when I get some time. 🙏
Absolutely phenomenal! What a gorgeous sword!
Thank you kindly!
Nice work. I just love creative people doing nice stuff. TY for using both measurement systems. Greetings from Germany.
Thank you! Cheers!
Bloody brilliant great watching, Got me hooked
Thanks for checking it out! Lots of other cool builds in the video library. 😉👍
Stunning piece of craftsmanship! ❤
Thanks so much! I appreciate you checking it out! ❤️
That truly is a work of art. Very very nice indeed. Well done yet again.
Thanks so much! I appreciate you watching!
Gorgeous! Your work is gorgeous, kudos sir!
Thank you very much! I appreciate you checking it out.
That’s unreal mate well done.
Dont worry about those who have to much time on thier hands and find all they can do is criticise or complain, i for one absolutely love watching you videos, you inspired me to book a holiday retreat next year to introduce me to forging, im attempting a Kukri, i served in the British army along with some Gurkha signals, i thought it a good tribute to such excellent soldiers, you sir are part of me making this move.
That’s great, Dave! I appreciate anyone getting into the craft. Thank you for your service, and for watching.
@TyrellKnifeworks when I go on my forging holiday in May of this year 24, im going to do little video pods, I shall send them to you privately at the time for your advice and constructive criticism, I would love you to watch my progress as its mostly down to yourself thats prompted me on this journey and the brilliant program forged in fire, which we are very honoured to be able to enjoy in the uk, I look forward to the correspondence if you are in agreement kind Sir. I recently nearly severed my left hand thumb, it healing fast and my surgeon thinks it should be no problem by then, as long as I swing my hammer were it's ment to land that is.🤣👍👍
@@daveslater9141it’s best to follow my on Instagram and reach out there.
As always you're work is very impressive. A magnificent sword with the purity of silver to slay evil spirits. Whoever owns this spiritual weapon will not only possess a great blade but will also be protected from being possessed themselves while warding off all other demons that lurk in the darkness🙏🏻
Thanks so much for checking out this build! 🙏
First time reccomended your channel and oh my god this is amazing. Just a beautiful sword... wow. Just wow.
Thanks so much! Welcome to the channel, I appreciate you watching.
The blade is incredible, your video was a joy to watch and your cutting technique is not half bad either. Love your work and much respect from the land down under.
Thanks for checking out this build.
What an amazing piece of art coming to life! Well narrated and filmed (I wouldn't have minded watching the scabbard come to life too!). Amazing work all the way, as far as I'm concerned!
Thank you very much! I was at the point of needing to get the build done in time so I opted not to show the saya construction. In my copper damascus katana I did the whole saya build so you can check that one out. Thanks for watching!
Absolutely insane piece. I would love to own something like this one day. Only question, why didn't you use the giant emperor node on the stringray skin? It's generally considered very desirable, and you had a nice one on that piece of skin. Regardless, it's wild the level of skill and talent that went into this project.
Because this stingray skin is white, that node isn’t very visible, like it is on a black one, so I didn’t bother. I’ll use it on another project. Thanks for watching.
Now that's art at its finest. Great vision and final product. 👏
Thank you! Cheers!
Sublime work, thank you for sharing it with us!
Thanks for taking a look!
A beautiful work of art! Excellent job!

What a beautiful piece, congratulations!
Thank you very much!
Good golly, that's beautiful... That's an heirloom piece, right there! Seriously, that thing deserves a spot in a good fantasy movie!
Well I'm open to any movie studios contacting me for a commission. 😉. Thanks for watching!
@TyrellKnifeworks I actually sketched some concept art of the kind of character that would wield it, I was that enamored... it would look SOOOO good in something styled after neo noir- think Sin City meets The Last Samurai with a dash of Phantom of the Opera.
Unfortunately, I'm just a guy that got medically retired from the military, not a film producer... I don't think my VA check could cover a commission, much *LESS* financing a film 😅😥🤦♂️🤷♂️
One of the most beautiful swords I have ever seen, as important as the traditional way is I believe you made the best call
Thanks for watching
Amazing work! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! Cheers!
