I cannot express how much the layer diagrams help my understanding of what is happening. thank you for doing those

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

I’m happy you find them helpful. Thanks for watching, Lexie!

[@jacksmith2315]

I agree. The layer diagram is awesome to help see whats happening between steps/how he gets the desired shapes. Absolutely amazing work, as always. Keep doing what you're doing bud. Maybe some day ill be able to afford/purchase one lol

[@ashe1.070]

I really appreciate the small diagrams of the pattern being formed in the process. It’s really helpful for understanding what is actually with each step.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

I’m glad the graphics are helpful. Thanks for watching!

[@techgirl517]

Those aren't knifes... Those are ART!
Beautiful work 👏

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Thanks for taking a look!

[@random-riley]

Out of all of the forging channels that's I watch. I thank you the most for putting up a visual of the pattern during the forging stages. I know it doesn't seem like much but as a viewer it helps and shows what you're doing through the different stages and I really appreciate that. So thank you so much for continuing doing this for us. :)

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

A lot of people do appreciate the graphics of the pattern development so I'll keep doing them. Thanks for watching!

[@Nullzenv0]

I've never seen mosaic plug damascus before. Great result and masterful work as usual. Very cool.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@jacksmith2315]

Yea ive never seen anyone incorporate a plug of any kind into a blade like this. Absolutely beautiful touch and amazing craftsmanship

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

@@jacksmith2315 Thank you!

[@Noxerpunk]

out of all forging projects I seen here, this one by far looks the most interesting, finally something fresh.
Edit; Finally finished watching the video, holy shit the end result looked like cosmos straight out of the pages of 70's comic. Awesome job dude, subscribed!

[@aviweisbach7816]

Gorgeous knives! I really appreciate how thoroughly you explain and diagram your work. I also appreciate how they are not all shiney and complicated (in terms of multiple handle parts, pins, etc) to get your attention, just beautifully crafted, original, not in your face, yet stunningly beautiful.

Yes, absolutely. I’ll be using this process again for sure. Thanks for watching, Bryson

[@willdmann363]

These are probable my favourite pieces that you've made. The stars go so well with the finer, random background, and the wood looks really nice as well, as well as the overall profile of the blades. Very nice work.

The knives came out great. My favorite part is the smaller plugs and the look of the spin they have. Very mesmerizing.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised when I first etched it! Thanks for watching, J!

[@the_fafologist]

Very cool look on the smaller ones. If you try this again I would go with the smaller ones and some even smaller with that twist to them. Very cool!

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Yeah I did account for how much larger they would get forging them into the knives. I’ll be playing with this more for sure. Thanks for watching.

[@RaymondDennis-pq8wr]

Very nice good to see you finally got around to making this video they are two sweet little knives . Way different technique than me though as i don't have a lath but loving your style

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Beautiful knifes and extremely interesting process. First time I see an "inlay" damascus blade. The potential of this technique is huge.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

I had inspiration from Josh Prince’s work. Look him up on Instagram and see what other cool stuff he’s done with this process. Thanks for watching.

[@philipbower8718]

Just when i think you cant beat previous paterns and you go an smash it i love how you put as much time and effort into the handles as you do the blade itself your pasion shows mste keep them coming 👍

[@soonerfrac4611]

The plug welds look amazing. At first glance I almost saw cherry blossoms instead of the starry night scene. The hand sanding machine is a really cool piece of equipment, I’m sure they have been around for a while but the first time I saw one was on Shurap’s channel. I thought, “damn, that makes so much sense!”

I think you should help yourself with two pieces of wood on each side of your super manual motorized sanding machine to block your hands when you hold the sanding paper, less effort, more comfort!
sorry for my english, thanks google for the translation!
C'est toujours un plaisir de regarder tes vidéos

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

[@Nobe_Oddy]

WOW!! That turned out BEAUTIFUL!!!! I was expecting it turn out differently tho..... I thought the stars were gonna "smear" into the cosmos background when forged them together.... but it turned out that they stayed perfect circles!!!! You had mentioned something about it I think after your first test etch and I was shocked!!! I guess if you continued hammering it, eventually they would distort and I thought that the cylinders wouldn't weld to the cosmos unless you made them spread out and flatten.... and they aren't held in there just from the tig welding you did right? they are forge welded together all as one piece, huh? AMAZING!!!!
- If the outer edge of the cylinders was that lighter color steel they edge of the cylinders wouldn't have been so defined and on the small, twisted ones they probably would have returned out looking like you gave the knife a 'tiddy twister' LMAO :) They really are amazing works of art tho!! You really have some real talent!! :D

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

I was very careful not to distort the plugs by hammering or shearing the billet. Thanks for watching!

[@billhatcher2984]

The twist did make a big difference mext time try twisting all of it thats a interesting pattern nice knives love the wood

I really like your plug pattern. Do you think you could draw those down to be small enough to use as handle pins? Plugs in the blade with matching handle pins would look really cool. Great job!

You’d have to start with much less Damascus but I’m sure it could be done. Thanks for watching.
