What did you put on the handle for a finish???
@@jeffreydauterman the handle was sanded to 1500, treated with teak oil, then 6 coats of tung oil, sanded to 3000 and then lightly oiled again. Then coated with sone mineral oil. Thanks for watching!
@@TyrellKnifeworks wow that’s amazing!!!!!
@Christie Malry thanks so much! You should checkout my mosaic Damascus bowie build from two weeks ago. I think that one is even more impressive. 😜
@@TyrellKnifeworks and that description of what you put into the handle...says it ALL as to why yours looked better. Details down to the finest. Amazing!
Honestly some of the best craftsmanship I've seen! Your attention to the smallest details takes your work to the next level.Would love to see a video on making that sheath too.
Thanks so much! In fact, the sheathmaking video goes up on Sunday! 👍
Denis! WOW! Great build and excellent attention to detail! Some of your finest bladesmithing not to mention this is by far the best tutorial type video you have ever produced. A+ man my vote goes to you!
Remember, I had an extra two weeks on you. 😜 I love yours and will have to do a tanto now!
Lol @ 11:48
What a gorgeous Bowie! Love the copper and the extra details. And then you topped it off with that beautiful sheath! If I had been here back then you would have had my vote! ✅
Thanks for checking out the build, Debra! 👍
Absolutely beautiful knife once again! #masterknifemaker Too few people provide such useful commentary. I like the way you record your voice as you’re watching the video so that you don’t have to stop and make comments during the build. That handle is gorgeous! I have 2 Damascus blades, yet I’m jealous of your beautiful knives. Well done sir!
Thanks so much, Curtis! I appreciate you watching and I’m happy the voice over is useful! ❤️
Absolutely amazing knife! I love how it turned out. I still need to watch Aleeknives video though to see who the winner was. Great job man.
Thanks Erick! We’re gonna have to pull you into a challenge soon! That was SO much fun!
Since I just recently discovered your channel, I’m watching through your videos. Wow. Beautiful work and I like hearing your thinking process along the way. Thank you for sharing your artistry.
Thanks so much, Roger! I appreciate you watching and checking out the library!
Wow , beautiful. Y’all sure made it hard to pick a winner. I’ve watched both builds and I love both . Great job
We don’t need a winner. Having all you folks watch the videos is the win!
very nice build! FYI: I believe the second guard is called a sub-hilt.
Thanks for letting me know that! I guess I should have looked it up right? 🤣
The lower guard is a sub hilt. The best configuration for a fighter, imo. Excellent retention and faster to deploy than a ring or knuckle duster style handle. And this one is incredibly beautiful. Excellent work. Thanks for sharing the video.
Yeah, I’ve been educated since (this build was a year ago). You can checkout my recent Bowie for the Bowie Challenge, it’s also a sub-hilt fighter. Thanks for watching.
Agreed!!
Looks absolutely awesome. Great choice of materials...
thanks for sharing ..
Thanks for checking it out!
Your build is flawless! The fit and finish are perfect! You really make some high quality stuff!
Thanks so much, Christopher! I appreciate you taking a look!
I'm new to your channel and going through some of the earlier videos! Beautiful build and it's hilarious how you got Aaron sneaking in from the sides!
Thanks! That one was really fun to make and Airin was a good sport and fun to work with.
Wow!!!! Knife look so beautiful. Love the shape. Handle look super cool. Winner for sure but i love Alee more😊😊👍👍👍👍
You guys are watching and commenting on the videos so that's winning for both of us! ❤️
That’s a beautiful knife. A real work of art!
Thanks! I was sad to see it go, it’s still one of my favorites! Thanks for watching.
Now this is cool! Cool solution for the false edge and I love the finger guard setup. Handle and sheath is awesome! Great work
Thanks Ryan! 👍
Dennis, Excellent craftsmanship, great tutorial, this was an excellent competition, I cast my vote for Airin's tanto, thank you for sharing your knowledge and skill.
Thanks for watching both builds! That’s the real win! ❤️
What a beautiful work of art this is!
Thanks for checking it out, Geoff!
Awesome build, beautiful knife Tyrrell.
Thanks! Not only was this a fun experience, but Airin and I are great friends and talk often. That was the biggest win on this!
Just WOW. Binge watching your videos. Well done
Thanks for checking out the video library!
Great build Dennis. Love the copper. I use copper on most of my knives. Don't care for the stippling. Just me. Beautiful damascus blade Pattern. Putting the extra piece of copper behind the index was a good call.
I'm a bit bias though, sadly the power of the tanto consumes me. Stay sharp brother.
You guys watching is the real win! ❤️
@@TyrellKnifeworks it's all about inspiration. You've made me a better bladesmith. Thanks for that.
Black Iron Forge on instagram and youtube.
Just incredible. What a beautiful knife.
Thanks for taking a look, Dean!
Just gotta say love your videos, you actually explain the process, thanks for sharing your knowledge
Thanks for following the channel! 🙏
Wow that's a fantastic piece man... Love the sheath as well
Thanks for watching!
Wicked!! Awesome!! Never cease to amaze. Going to watch your competitors now. He better bring his AAA game!
That knife is a beautiful work of art, Beauty!
Thanks for taking a look, Neil!
Man Denis,
I gotta say not only are you a really good knife smith, but you are a great teacher! I’m a really new blade smith and you have helped immensely. I don’t have all the nifty tools that you do but once I learn the craft I can get the tools that will make it faster to accomplish my task. Very impressive!
Thanks so much for the compliment, Brady! I only started just over two years ago but learn quick and so will you! I do have the luxury of having some of the fancy tools but I built my forge, 2x72 and press, which are the work horses in the shop. Checkout the triple-t videos on those. Good luck and welcome to the channel!
Un lavoro meraviglioso!
Grazie per la visione!
Beautiful work
Thanks James!
You're one of a kind brother. The best craftsman I've ever seen, keep the videos coming bro.👍👍👍
Thanks for following along, Brad!
@@TyrellKnifeworks No worries buddy. 👍
WOW!!! looks amazing!!
Thanks!
Wow dude, looks aaaaaaawsome! What a pritty blade you made there!! Respect. Keep it on! Lookin forward to your next builts!
Lots more to come! Thanks for watching!
i'm blown away by your skill
stunning knife!
Thanks so much! I appreciate you watching!
Is definitely my favorite knife that you’ve made absolutely love the double front and back finger guard with this Damascus blade
Absolutely fantastic craftsmanship
Thanks for checking it out. My recent sword build released 2 days ago is something you’ll want to checkout! Thanks for watching
What a classic design for your blade! I'm gobsmacked! I'm also supremely jealous, as that knife would look good in my collection! Lol.
Thanks so much for checking it out! This one was sold a while ago. What I have is (normally) in my Etsy shop (link in every video description). I’ve pulled it all down because it’s all going to the blade show in LA in Oct. If there’s a build you see on CZcams that I might still have and want to purchase but can wait until after the show to receive it, I’ll sell those and just mark them sold. I have the mosaic Damascus bowie, zebra twist hunter, 1095 hunter, 52100 ball bearing take down bowie and the Loki dagger. If you’re interested in purchasing any of these, please email me (tyrellknifeworks at gmail) or hit me up on Instagram.
Wow, amazing knife skills!
Thanks for watching, Jandre!
As much as I like tantos your knife has to my my favourite in this competition. Good job and keep em coming, and good luck in your next challenge.
Thanks for watching, Steve! Glad you liked the build. I'm sure there will be future throw-down challenges! 😉
Wow, I LOVE the copper.
Beautiful Damascus and blade shape!
My vote goes to you.
Thanks! I have a love/hate relationship with copper after this. 🤣🤣
@@TyrellKnifeworks the "copper" knives (pattern, fitting, furniture) seem to draw the most ardent attention from your fans.
You have my vote. Your knife looked amazing!!
Thanks David, make sure to checkout Airin’s knife. His looks amazing as well!
@@TyrellKnifeworks I checked it out. His was very cool but the finish and design of yours was more my style. Great job.
Super nice sir, liked the Dremil Idea to polish out the guards
Thanks for watching, Rick!
Wow, you are good! Great video as well as great narration
Thanks for checking this one out, John!
I have to say that in my personal opinion your blade is hands down the champion. Absolutely stunning beauty and the handle work is exquisite.
Thanks, I’m happy you like the build! Airin has become a great friend so having you guys watch both us the real win. 👍
Oh momma that's a beauty. I've seen allot of guys videos, Royer, etc. and this knife might be my absolute favorite. Every bit of it is perfect.
Thanks so much, Braden! I appreciate that!
I watched your build and Airin’s build. I like his style of a knife with the tonto style blade, but I love the Bowie knife, especially the handle and unique finger guard you put on it. My vote is for your knife.
Airin and I are great friends now and working on our 3td challenge together. You don’t want to miss this next one. Stay tuned in a couple weeks for the announcement! Be sure to turn on notifications. 👍
I was wondering why I was blowing the other end out when I drilled my handle material. Glad I watched this!
I’m happy you got something out of it! Thanks for watching!
Good job!! That is a beautiful fighting knife. I hope anyone who uses it is honored to use it.
Thanks for taking a look, Peter!
both knives turned out really cool, the wolftooth damascus making both shapes all the more beautiful, and you both can be proud of your work.
in your case, i am a big fan of how well the wide blade shows of the pattern, your effort to drag it to follow the cutting edge really paid off, plus the double guard has to be fun to give it a swirl with, i'd love to wield a knife like this.
tho i am a big fan of tanto style builds, i think this build-off is going to you
keep up your awesome work
Thanks for watching both builds. This is the build that really started the CZcams Maker Challenge series. 👍🏻
I'm speechless about how this knife turned out, it's an absolute masterpiece. Love your work man, one of the best channels of this type on CZcams. Got a sub from me, keep it up!
Welcome to the channel, Deda! Thanks for following along, I appreciate it! ❤️
"I'm speechless" every video lol, he knows how to grok out an idea in his head and turn it into a knife that, in the words of Indiana Jones, "BELONGS IN A MUSEUM!"
@@LIONTAMER3D thanks so much!
Superbe ! Merci pour cette vidéo pleine de savoir faire !
Merci! 👍
that handle is absolutely perfect!
Thanks for checking it out!
Damn man that is gorgeous. I freakin love it
Glad you like it! 👍
Really came out nice. Well done, it's beautiful! His knife is really nice but my vote goes to you.
You guys watching is the win! ❤️
WOW! That is absolutely beautiful! As much as I like Airin's knife, you took this one.
Thanks for watching, David! Just having you guys watch and comment, we both win!
@@TyrellKnifeworks I found Airin just a few weeks ago. I'm in the process of building my first knife following his videos. I just subscribed to your channel too. Both of you are very talented!
@@DeeG1000 That's great! Send us some pictures when you're done!
That is the most beautiful knife I have ever seen.
Thanks so much, Tim! I appreciate you watching!
As always,awesome 👍
Thanks for checking this build out, Randy!
i envy people like you able to spend so many hours on projects like that. My patience would have ended directly after drawing it out on a sheet of paper...
When you have the maker’s bug, it bites hard! Thanks for watching, Bob!
You killed it Tyrell!
Thanks for watching!
That's beautimous! It's the first knife I've seen with copper fittings and it looks fantastic with them!
Thanks for checking it out! That is still one of my favorite knives. I was sorry to see it sold. 😕
@@TyrellKnifeworks something tells me you're confident in your craftsmanship enough to make another one =)
@@LIONTAMER3D well stay tuned, you just might see another one even more impressive soon! 😜
@@TyrellKnifeworks that sub-hilt, slender & long-handle design is just SOVERIGN for using the knife in a wide variety of ways. I know sub-hilts are considered "fighters" automatically; they are not. The ability to pull the blade through what you are cutting, regardless of appplication, is assisted by the sub-hilt design (or, as Fred Perrin & I prefer, a straight-up ring since the full ring design doubles as a better hand guard), as is the ability to withdraw the blade from a dense medium after puncturing. In other words, the sub-hilt helps both cutting AND puncturing; both of which are what knives do =/
You do great work
Thanks Steve, I appreciate that!
Beautiful!!! 👏👏👍👌
Thanks for watching!
Wicked man. Love it. Handle is awesome. More of a fighter style. Aleeknives is cool in its own right for sure. Id choose yours as winner.
Thanks for watching and checking out both builds! ❤️
the handle is my favorite part of this knife, and every knife I own.
Stellar work ,as usual, on a subhilt fighter.
Thanks for checking out the build, Tony!
Beautiful!
Thanks!
I will post this to both of you so..
Alec, first thanks to remind me sub to Tyrell (i thought i was, but.. I'm now). I really like Japanese knives, especially these Western style tantos and that fit up 👌, beautiful wood, plus yours hybrid sheats are great (I'm planning try those on my next knife) but..
I'm sucker for red woods and classic.. that sheat from Tyrell is stunning work and that copper was excellent choice and i want say you are both winners, but if i must vote for one, i pick Tyrell..
Thanks for two amazing videos
You guys are watching, commenting and subscribing, we both win! This was also one of the most fun builds I’ve done! ❤️
awesome knife and pattern,i love copper parts and ring
Thanks for watching, Vladimir!
i lovet!!!!! Great working
Thanks for watching, Claudio!
I like your vídeos
O working yo Predator knife tribute,i finifsh sun.see my videos.thanks
Nice job,I need to learn more and more by your videos .. thanks man …
Thanks for checking it out, Ahmad!
the sub hilt looks really cool, the texture on the gaurd (hilt) looks good too overall really cool knife a work of art, I lik to watch Airin too.
Thanks for checking out the build, Henry!
watched both builds and I got to give you the edge because I like the the style of yours better.
All you guys watching and commenting on both videos is the real win! ❤️
Both knives are done well but yours is clearly the winner in my mind. I love the look of sub hilt fighters.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Winner - after watching both videos, this easily has my vote.
I was lucky and had much longer to do mine and think about the build! 😜. Thanks for watching!
Work of art.
Thanks for taking a look, John!
Stunning!!!
Thanks for taking a look, Greg!
Love the double guard. Handles and guards are the hardest part for me.
Thanks! This was a fun build. The more you do guards the better you’ll be! 👍
Perfeact handsle grip of this knife your wood work is amazing
Thank you, I do like this style. 😜
That is a beautiful knife!
Thanks for checking it out!
@@TyrellKnifeworks of course
Look amazing I wanna one like this
Thanks for watching, Javier!
I'm new to your channel after watching you make that amazing copper katana so I missed this vote. What amazing skill and artistic flair. Airin's knife was amazing, truly another skilled worker; however, the fact that you forge welded yours versus cutting it out and your "dual finger guard" was simply something different and knew puts yours over the top IMHO. Regardless, I'd be honored to own either one.
Welcome to the channel, Robert! Thanks for watching!
just wow....I love it...
Thanks so much!
Just watched the Tanto knife to
it is a beaty....and I love Tanto knife
but this time this Fighter is my Favorite
The change you made in handle design is great! it looks much better this way! btw: It would be very
valuable if you would make video with leatherworks! this case looks amazing!
I’m still pretty new to leatherwork. This is only my 6th sheath but I do love it. I’m getting better and I think I’m finally at the stage I think I can video the next one. Thanks for watching!
@@TyrellKnifeworks Wow! it's hard to belive that this is your 6th sheath -great work :)!
You make awesome knives!
Thanks so much! I appreciate you watching!
I definitely like your knife design best but I think Airin's knife showcased the pattern slightly more (may just have been the piece of damascus). On the whole both knives were amazing but yours was a nose in front for me. The standard of your fit and finish is mindblowingly (did I make that word up lol?) good. Your skill with Damascus is fantastic and a pleasure to watch. Thankyou.
Thanks so much for watching, Jeni! Airin and I became good friends because of this challenge and went on to start the 20-channel maker challenges we are running now!
that tip you gave about establishing a preliminary grind that's flat and moving your thumb pressure to move the bevel, may be what ive been looking for. My bevels are sooooooo bad and my plunges are horrible. I'm just beginning , but I need all the tips I can find. Thank you.
I suggest you watch my beginner series playlist. I have some grinding basics and grinding tips videos in there that will help you. Thanks for watching, Peter.
ive only just found and subbed to your channel, can i just say you are an amazing maker, and i aspire for my knives to be like yours one day
Thanks, Shaun! Keep watching and we’ll get there together! 👍
Well that’s pretty well unbeatable thanks to you guys for some awesome entertainment 👍look forward to the next tyrell vs alee?
We’re thrilled you liked the builds! Look for more challenges coming! 😜
Loved Arron's knife but gotta say you won out on this one, Beautiful knife!!
You guys watching the videos is the real win! 👍
@@TyrellKnifeworks you did a great job! very close
Excelente el canal!!!! y es muy bueno que los vídeos estén subtitulados en español👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Estoy encantado de que te guste el canal. ¡Gracias por ver!
What an awesome work of art! My vote - considering the function is for a “fighting knife” - goes to you. If I had to be in a knife fight... and I hope it never happens, I think this one would have greater balance and functionality, and would never slip out of the hand.
Only slight thing I’d prefer to see on this blade is a different profile on the fuller. Just seems a little narrow in proportion to my eyes. Maybe a slightly shorter length fuller, and with a noticeable chamfer on the fuller edges.
Absolutely agree! The only ball end mill I had was a 1/4”. Funny that Airin did a fuller the same way but he had a 1/2” one. I certainly would have used it if I had it. 👍
@@TyrellKnifeworks maybe one will show up for you.... never too late to take out a little more metal.
I’d never try it now. It would be too hard to lock it back in the vice now that it has bevels and a handle though. I’ll get one for next time!
Awesome looking blade.
I’m gonna need to re-watch both videos to make a decision, it’s so close!!!
You guys watching is really the win!
@@TyrellKnifeworks
Truth! 🇬🇧🤜🏻💥🤛🏻🇺🇸
Hey, you missed the Canadian flag there! 🇨🇦😜
@@TyrellKnifeworks
🇨🇦🤜🏻💥🤛🏻🇬🇧🙏🏻
@@sudo_nym Haha... Airin's from Kansas city in the US so it would be more like 🇨🇦🤜🏻💥🤛🏻🇺🇸. I live in California now and have for 20 years so I guess its 🇨🇦🇺🇸🤜🏻💥🤛🏻🇺🇸. I'm gonna steal that for future challenges though! 😊👍
Amazing Sir...
Thanks for watching!
You win man... hands down
Thanks Stefan! You guys are watching the videos so we both win!
You made a fuller! Good job! I couldn't see it in the pictures because of the damascus. Everyone likes damascus but I don't care for it. I guess as a knife maker it's kind of a flex to say you made your own damascus but I prefer sold/single steel.
Yes, many people love the mono steel look. Myself, I love the combinations and possibilities of damascus patterns. I'll be testing for JS next year so I'll have to do 5 mono steel knives... so watch for those builds! Thanks for watching!
Looks great....
❤️
Your videos are great, surprisingly you and your competition should have have more subscribers and views
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching!
A beautiful knife.
Thanks for watching, Michelle!
Uma verdadeira aula de cutelaria. Parabéns. Obrigado por compartilhar conhecimento. Like from Brazil. 👍🔰
Obrigado por verificar a construção! Eu agradeço por você assistir!
That's a Beauty!
Thanks so much!
I’ve always been told to first drill holes in the tang, before any tempering is attempted, because drilling after tempering, increases the likelihood of cracks in the tang due to it being already hardened.
I’ve drawn back the temper on the tang so it’s soft and I can drill through it. I’m not drilling hardened steel. That wouldn’t work anyway. Thanks for watching
i relly love it it's so crazey
Thanks for watching, Andulsziz!
Piece of beauty
Thanks for taking a look!
