    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.

    • @Sajuuk
      @Sajuuk Před rokem +235

      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?

    • @TheSpenceFencer
      @TheSpenceFencer Před rokem +97

      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.

      @@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.

    • @TyrellKnifeworks
      @TyrellKnifeworks  Před rokem +775

      @@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.

    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.

      Well the. You should watch my latest katana build with pure silver. I think it’s a step above this one. 😉. Thanks for 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…

    素人で全然わかりませんがかっこいい刀ですね!分析的で専門的な素晴らしいチャンネルです。
    それと同様に機械も定規も無しに刀を作る日本の職人さんは凄いんだなって思いました、すべての職人さんに敬意を。

    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!

    I have been a fan of Forged In Fire for many years, and I have learned quite a bit about forging, all academic. because of my physical condition, I could never take it up, but I love the artistry that goes into it, and I especially love seeing someone making damascus blades. and that is one gorgeous sword!

      Thanks so much! It was a fun but challenging build. Certainly the longest blade I’ve done.

    Truly wonderful study looks fabulous. Each piece of Samurai sword was made by different master craftsman you did it all with good workmanship.
