"You could not wish for a finer blade." - Gandalf the Grey
Haha, thanks, Jonathan! Gandalf is very wise. 🤣
Does the blade glow blue when Orcs are close
But seriously... that could give the first age elves a "whaaaaaaat!??!" Reaction. A man made that? Surely not.
Yes you can, a full sword.. as if elves would halfazz something like this
Indeed…
This is honestly probably one of the most beautiful looking blades i’ve ever seen
Thanks so much, I appreciate that!
Agreed.
Totally agree. definitely my favorite and I’ve seen many
very impressive work. and very entertaining 40mins clip. the blade looks stunningly beautiful. however, I wonder what a swordsman would say to it. its balance and how it feels in combat. curious though: would it break most of the opponent's blades used 1,000yrs ago?
@@TyrellKnifeworks b nbnn
Man ..... it's not just the skill of making the sword.... it's filming it like a pro..... Really great work.
Thanks so much! I appreciate you checking it out!
@@TyrellKnifeworks I'm no5 fully done 22ith the vid buy this shi amazing
and editing
Yep. This is a guy who does a great job regardless of what that job is.
I know this is an old video, but its the first of yours that I've watched, and I just really love the candid-ness of 'This isnt my skill level' and like not shaming yourself for not being able to do more intricate designs- Its just really nice to see people be open about knowing their skills, and that its fine if you cant do something-
I’ve certainly progressed since then, but this still is one of my favorite builds. Thanks for watching.
This is probably one of the most gorgeous blades I've ever seen. Exactly the kind of thing I would love to have.
Thanks so much, Elliot! I appreciate you watching!
Then buy one there are probably more outthere
yeah man, movie quality for sure! :O
@@dveldmeijer2006 nope, this is a one of a kind.
Even if it wasn't 1 of a kind I'd still get it from this gent as I love the way he's done it.
Woah. That pattern, colour and the copper contrast looks so stunning! And the wood, man, that's a really beautiful piece. Congratulations!
Thanks so much! I appreciate you watching!
@@TyrellKnifeworks I think you meant protractor
@@ghostofkyiv3422 yeah I screwed that up for some reason. 🤷♂️

Repent to Jesus Christ “For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12 NIV Uh
Wow sir. That blade is a work of art. It's amazing to watch your talent turn into something so impressive. Appreciate you inviting the world to view your craftsmanship.
Thanks so much, Dan! I appreciate you taking a look.
I just finished rewatching Lord of the rings and this sword is worthy of being carried by Legolas. Amaaazing!! Really amaaaziiing!!!
Thanks for taking a look, Paul! I kind of think of it as a dark-elf sword though. 😜
Can't say as I've ever watched a full video on knife building that was nearly as well done as that. Bravo sir, you do fine work.
Thanks so much! I appreciate you watching
Amazing craftsmanship I love the rainbow effect on the copper when it came out of the quench
Some day I’ll figure out how to add that effect at the end. Thanks for watching!
@@TyrellKnifeworks i am a plumber and see that affect a lot with heating the copper. perhaps you could just take a propane or map torch to it. idk how that would possibly compromise the integrity of the knife because you would have to heat the blade up as well so the copper will reach its turning point. i could only assume a very tedious job of fine sanding around the line to not take it off. would love to see what you come up with! i havent started blacksmithing yet i have a small set up just lacking some things. gl man cant wait!
Yea I did too, I'm not gonna lie, I really really want one!! Damascus is my favorite as it is, but with that copper in it I'm in love.
@@TyrellKnifeworks Have you tried using a propane torch on the exposed copper layer? I just did a quick search online, no actual experience, but this might be worth looking into.
Yes I think that by itself in a blade would be popular that way as well.
The beauty of steel is completely exposed to our grateful eyes. Well done sir
Thanks for checking it out, Eric!
I can't say enough good things about this sword, it's breathtaking. You sir, are most definitely an artist. Thank you for posting these videos and explaining as you go. I love learning about this stuff
Thanks so much, Scott! I appreciate you watching.
This reminds me of Anglachel / Gurthang, from Tolkien's "The Silmarillion". It was forged by Eol, a dark elf, and then later re-forged. It was described to have a dark blade with edges that "shone with pale fire". Which reminds me of the copper used. The story fits this sword almost perfectly. Just thought it was a neat coincidence.
It wasn’t a coincidence. This blade was dark elf inspired from its inception. 👍. Thanks for watching!
You are so sexually expressive and it's very charming. I'd love to get to know you better, but right now our furry community isn't allowing any new members. Maybe next year there will be openings and you can join. I will put in a good word just for you.
I was thinking O`Christ "the goblin cleaver" but "Sting" sized.
JESUS KNOCKS ON YOUR HEART AND LONGS FOR YOU TO ANSWER! HE DOESN'T WANT TO SEE ANYONE PERISH INTO HELL. GOD LOVES YOU SO HE GIVES YOU FREE WILL AND A CHOICE TO ACCEPT HIM OR REJECT HIM. TO LOVE HIM OR TO LOVE SIN/THIS WORLD. CALL UPON JESUS & ASK HIM TO FORGIVE YOUR SINS! SURRENDER YOUR WILL & YOUR LIFE TO HIM AND HE WILL GIVE YOU ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN! PICTURE YOUR BEST DAY ON EARTH TIMES A BILLION FOR ETERNITY, THAT'S HEAVEN! NOW PICTURE YOUR WORST DAY ON EARTH TIMES A BILLION FOR ETERNITY, THAT'S HELL! HE WILL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT IF YOU REJECT HIM, TOTAL SEPARATION FROM HIM & HIS BLESSINGS (LOVE, PEACE, JOY, HOPE, FRIENDS, FAMILY, REST, ETC). IN HELL YOU WILL BE ALONE, YOU WILL BE HOPELESS, YOU WILL BE IN DESPAIR & AGONY FOREVER! GOD'S STANDARD FOR HEAVEN IS PERFECTION AND ONLY JESUS (THE SON OF GOD, GOD IN THE FLESH) LIVED THAT PERFECT LIFE AND LAID DOWN HIS LIFE AS AN OFFERING FOR ALL PEOPLE'S SINS! YOU CAN CHOOSE TO REJECT JESUS' GIFT & PAY FOR YOUR OWN SIN WITH DEATH (HELL) BUT THAT SEEMS PRETTY FOOLISH! GOD SEES & HEARS EVERYTHING YOU HAVE SAID & DONE. YOU WONT WIN AN ARGUMENT ON JUDGEMENT DAY & YOU CANT DEFEND ANY OF YOUR SINS. WE'RE ALL GUILTY WITHOUT ACCEPTING JESUS' SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS! MUHAMMAD DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, BUDDHA DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, NO PASTOR/PRIEST/MARY OR SAINT DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO IDOLS OR FALSE GODS DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO ACTOR OR CELEBRITY DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO ATHLETE OR POLITICIAN DIED FOR YOUR SINS! JESUS CHRIST ALONE DIED FOR YOUR SINS & WAS RESURRECTED FROM THE GRAVE! HE IS ALIVE & COMING BACK SOON WITH JUDGEMENT! PREPARE YOURSELVES! IT'S NOT ABOUT RELIGION, TITHING, CHURCH... IT STARTS WITH ASKING HIM TO FORGIVE YOUR SINS & INVITING HIM INTO YOUR HEART/LIFE, SURRENDER ALL TO HIM! IT'S ABOUT A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR CREATOR, DONT WAIT TO CRY OUT! NO ONE IS PROMISED TOMORROW! HE LONGS FOR YOU TO INVITE HIM IN, HE LOVES YOU MORE THAN ANY PERSON EVER COULD, HE CREATED YOU! Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."-John 14:6 "But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven."-Matthew 10:33 “For the wages of sin is death (hell), but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord”-Romans 6:23

I think I've honestly never seen a sword as beautifull as this one here! You're really creative and skilled , that sword is really magnificent and original too , the black , copper and damascus go together with class and give a really elegant finish
Thanks so much, Alex! I really appreciate that!

I am in absolute AWE of your skill and talent. I'm not a metalworker but I've watched a lot of similar videos and this has got to be the most elaborate, time intensive and difficult blade I've ever seen anyone do....and you make it look easy somehow!
Thanks so much! Definitely check out some of my other builds like the recent katana build. Thanks for watching!
@@TyrellKnifeworks Way ahead of you. Already subbed and binging!
This is literally the first video i have watched on your channel. I stumbled across this vid by accident and am absolutely amazed by the beauty and top notch quality you put into your work of art!
Thanks so much, Jeff! I appreciate you watching
This is my first deep dive into blade making and my god…This makes me want to start creating my own blades. This thing is beautiful! And your documentation was immersive! Awesome job!

You're an absolute genius! Making one forge out of two, and then a stainless steel conduit for consistent heat is so awesome. Learnt a lot, thanks mate.
I’m glad it was helpful, Byron! Thanks for watching!
Easily the most beautiful blade I've ever seen. Amazingly gorgeous contrast and cohesiveness to it all. This is controlled chaos and it's gorgeous.
Thanks so much! I appreciate you taking a look!
its so amazing how you explain stuff to me and i feel like i could create stuff on your level in my backyard but you still make me appreciate how good of a bladesmith you are
Thanks so much, Mark! I appreciate you watching
Well, I always wanted to make a sword related to this, since my childhood. But what you have done, was really amazing Job.❤ Regards RandomHands

Pl
Stunning piece. It looks good from 5 feet away, and gets even more intricate and beautiful the closer you get. Great job!
Thanks so much! I appreciate you checking out the build!
This is a weapon for a master who rightfully knows how to wield it and knows its true value. A very beautiful piece of art crafted to perfection with so much detail, patience, passion, love and care. The best part of this video was listening to your narration. Your voice is calming and soothing which made this experience even more pleasurable. Thank you so much :)
Thanks so much for watching!
Easily the best/my favorite sword I’ve come across on KZhead so far. I love the elven design especially legolas’ swords, I’ve always wanted one of those. This is a masterpiece though, I would love to own one
Thanks for taking a look!
Beautiful piece. Love the choice of wood for the handle. And blackening the steel pieces was a perfect touch. Excellent work. Bravo Sir!
Thanks so much, Mark! I appreciate you watching!

@@embreis2257 no clue but he's absolutely adorable haha
I’m in love with your work. I recently discovered your channel and can’t get over how beautifully you work copper into your blades. Copper is my favorite metal and you exploit it’s beauty to perfection.
Welcome to the channel! Thanks for checking out the video library! 👍🏻
This is a remarkable sword, it's the most gorgeous swordsmithing I've ever seen, I hope one day it will be affordable to do that kinda thing here on Brazil, thanks for this wonderful content, greeting from South America ❤️
Thanks so much! I appreciate you checking out this build. Lots of other cool builds in the video library.
This is one of the coolest smithing/knifemaking videos I've ever seen, your dedication to your craft is truly inspiring. Awesome blade!
Thanks so much, Dan! I appreciate you checking out the build!
Thats why he won best blade on youtube a while back. Won out of 19 smiths i think.
@@liquidmidnight0748 yup, best Bowie out of 18 channels. Stay tuned for the Dagger Challenge coming in April!
@@TyrellKnifeworks its a pleasure to watch you work sir. Your blades are stunning. And i love the in depth explanations for doing what you do. Please continue sir and we all continue to be amazed.
@@liquidmidnight0748 thanks, I appreciate that! ❤️
This is a beautiful blade! It's the first time I've ever seen copper in a Damascus pattern and it just makes it all the more stunning! Thanks for sharing this video as well as why you were doing the steps you did
Thanks for checking out this build!
Just thought of the Damascus using a lighter grey color instead of the copper for the inlays (guard and wraps stay copper). Kinda like a wind sword.
A beautiful short sword. The handle is exquisite. A perfect example of craftsmanship.
Thanks for checking out this build.
I do follow a few of these channels, but Tyrell Knifeworks is most definitely the most satisfying. Congratulations on your professionalism, narration and absolute BEAUTIFUL creations. Truly a legacy that can be admired for many years in the future.
Thanks so much, Rick! I appreciate you following the channel! 👍🏻
Hands down, this is one of the nicest build’s I’ve seen. Well done.
Thanks so much! I appreciate you watching!
Thank you for all the insight in the commentary along the way - it is appreciated and borderline instructional. Great Work!
Thanks for checking it out! I'm glad it was helpful.

Absolutely beautiful, I've seen a lot of knives and swords that were really nice,but this blade and finish work on the handle are in their own league. Well done!!
Thanks so much for checking out the build, William!
This is by far one of the best copper Damascus steel builds from what I have seen online. Hope you can make a full-size sword like this soon. It might be a challenge. If possible try using a copper-nickel alloy between the copper and the 15N20 steel. It may stick better together since copper and nickel like to diffuse into each other.
Thanks Dan. I have no problem with the layers sticking.
So you haven't seen it or others. Interesting ur talking about something u already admitted u haven't actually seen. Seeing a image doesn't count. Did you touch it? Then stfu
@@whitehazegruntz250 he did a mini-kabar in copper that was nuts
@@whitehazegruntz250 I'm not sure who this was pointed at but there's no need for such hostility. Neither Dan, nor I, made any claims about seeing an image or touching anything. Be a little nicer in comments please.
@@whitehazegruntz250 it's better than kicking a puppy, but why did you think that was justified?
Your cumai is honestly the best I’ve ever seen. And your creativity aswell. I love the black demascus with the copper that’s what I always want to see but no one ever does it except you
There are many smiths using it these days. Baker Forge and Tool sells some amazing cumai billets. Thanks for watching m

It looks incredible. And the fact that it’s functional is so cool. Keep it up.
Thanks for watching, Jesse!
Ooh! This is such a beautiful piece of art. The colors, pattern, engraving, and wood pattern unify harmoniously to give this short sword an authentic fantasy look, yet it's functional and practical to use. I love the how the wavey pattern of the Damascus is embellished with the waves created by the copper, making the edge look like smooth sea waves terminating at the ridge created by the bevel running across the edge profile of the blade. It is artistically pleasing to look at, and the video encapsulates your journey phenomenally. Love it through and through.
Thanks so much, Tanay! Your comment reads almost poetic. You’re a great writer! Thanks for watching
@@TyrellKnifeworks thank you for your words of appreciation. I am, in fact, a content writer. It's a hobby I'm revisiting after school, something that I loved to do back in the days. It feels great to convey an emotion through words just like your passion and emotions have permeated all of us viewer's hearts through these videos. Please keep making such authentic, beautiful, and entertaining content for the world to watch and learn some things every now and then through you.
These Elven short swords are my favorite. What a magical piece. Majestic and very functional to wield.
Thanks so much for watching, Ryzen!
Absolutely gorgeous blade.
Thanks for checking it out, Justin!
Man it’s gorgeous and impressive how well it slices. I’ve tried making knives and it is not easy but you make it look that way. Keep up the great work 👍
Thanks for checking it out, Rob!
@@TyrellKnifeworks For pattern transfer, have you considered using a carbon copy paper method, like some people do for tattoo design transfers? Idk if it would work the same for metals and woods, but just an idea I figured may be worth sharing. Love the video, beautiful blade!
@@Jadebones I did use some parchment paper and got it to transfer but the problem was it rubbed off easily while you worked. I tried hairspray but that didn’t really work. I’ll get something figured out.
Blown away by the final product! Very well done!!!!
Thanks so much! I’m glad you like it!
There are a lot of sword making video on KZhead but you explain and film everything better. Good job sir.
Thanks for taking a look!
I never realized how beautiful black and copper look together until after seeing your videos. Such craftsmanship!
Thanks so much for watching!
This is the first video of yours that I've seen. You're a true master of your craft. Looking forward to many more.
Welcome to the channel! Thanks for watching
@HailSatan all my available work is going to Blaze show in a few weeks. Check my website after that.
First time coming across your channel, and I gotta say this is a gorgeous piece! Reminds me of some of the work I see from blacksmithing titans like Man at Arms/That Works. That grind cut that reveals the Damascus pattern is brilliant, and I love that handle! Nicely done.
Welcome to the channel! Lots of builds every month!
Honestly I'm so busy usually I skip all the KZhead recommendations, but boy it is a pleasure to watch your videos. What a beautiful piece of deadly art. This wonderful work is definitely a top level !
Thanks for taking a look!
Nice wall hanger! As a display piece its pretty, as a weapon or a tool, it makes a very good display piece.
This is no “wall hanger”, it’s a fully functional weapon. Perhaps you should ask a question instead of just assuming you know what you’re looking at, you might learn something. Thanks for watching
Absolutely loooooove the style and cut of this sword. Just beautiful work and end product
Thanks for checking it out! 👍
I've become fascinated with these types of videos. I've seen some great builds so far, but this is on another level entirely - you created an absolute masterpiece! I love your style too, as you explain the processes, and that makes it even more interesting. Thanks for your hard work making such a great video - you've 100% got a new subscriber :)
Welcome to the channel! I appreciate you watching. 👍
Have you seen this? kzhead.info/sun/aJeYk9mEn4GYpXA/bejne.html
You did an extraordinary job on this sword, everything looks fantastic. 👍
Thanks for taking a look! Two more swords in process now, stay tuned!
Wow man, you’re extremely good at what you do! And I appreciate the brief explanations as to what you’re doing.
Thanks so much! I appreciate you watching.
60 HRC is quite good result as far as I know. I didn't expect this from steel and copper. The shape of the blade reminds me of yatagan, which was very effective short sword, so it's not only aesthetic, but also functional.
The copper doesn't affect the hardness at all. The core is 1095 which can easily attain a 60 hrc hardness. Thanks for watching, Hubert!
Incredible and inspiring. I have certain elves in the book I'm writing that are definitely getting a style upgrade.
Thanks for taking a look, Brandon!
I've been brainstorming some book ideas centering around "ranger characters" (they themselves won't all be elves). At the end of their training they will be presented with a blade of some sort. I know I didn't want it to be a sword, or even a short sword, but a big ass elven "bowie" hunting knife (as far as size, not so much the style of a traditional bowie knife) if that gives an idea of what I'm imagining. What was made here is damn close to what I was imagining.
Your craftmanship is extraordinary!
Thanks for checking it out!
Hello, I found this video by chance browsing and I saw it complete since I really like elven-style swords and the truth is that I LOVED the final result, it is really beautiful. Congratulations
Thanks for checking it out!
This is an absolutely beautiful piece of work. Stunning
Thanks so much, Wyatt! I appreciate you watching.
The wife interruption was super wholesome 🙏 amazing work. I can't imagine the effort put into this and loved watching it get made.
Thanks so much for watching, John!
Another AMAZING piece. It’s honestly belongs in a museum! I am in awe!
Thanks for checking this one out, David!
So glad i found this channel, awesome work 👏
Thanks for following along! ❤️
Fantastic piece of work you've done there. Its difficult to find a truly amazing piece of work that would also function. Definitely gained a subscriber from me
Welcome to the channel! Lots of great builds in the video library and new ones coming every week or two. Thanks for watching
Ive watched a LOT of these forging swords videos and this one takes the crown. It is beyond describing to someone with words so I would have to send the video link to do it justice. Awesome awesome job!
Thank you so much, Jon! I really appreciate that and you taking a look and sharing it!
I just love all the patterns and the copper coloring across the blade. I WANT THAT BLADE! The choice of wood for the handle was the best one, it finished the blade perfectly.
Sorry, this was a commission and is already sold. Thanks for checking it out!

Truly stunning. Perhaps the most beautiful blade I’ve ever seen forged on YT
Thanks so much, Judah! Checkout my recent katana build, you might take that statement above back. 🤣. Thanks for watching.
The dedication and honesty of this video, sure worth a subscription.

You are a Master at your craft! I definitely "Liked" and "Subscribed" in the hopes you continue to create more videos of your creations!
Welcome to the channel! Thanks for watching. 👍
It would be interesting to hear about how the copper affects the process as well as the final knife. I know nothing about metal working, so wonder whether the copper makes things harder to work with, or the final knife weaker or stronger than usual, or last longer than usual. Certainly it is very beautiful!
The copper is just a thin sheet over a central core of high carbon steel which also comprises the entire cutting edge. As long as it’s kept clean and dry it will be completely functional and last a lifetime. Thanks for watching
I was wondering the same thing.
@@TyrellKnifeworks thanks for the information.
That is truly a work of art, the way the dark Damascus and copper flow it almost looks like it’s entirely made of wood despite the fact it’s only the handle. Which is fitting given it’s an elven blade design.
Thanks for checking out this build!
I watched the copper Damascus bowie knife build for my first vid and now this beautiful short sword and I'm like surely I've watched the two best things on the channel now. Things can't get better can they? I mean that elven sword is really really cool. Seriously cool.
You’ll want to check out the build video coming in a couple weeks! I think that will be a huge one. Lots of other amazing videos in the library as well.
The black and copper contrast is perfect! Great work! The wood you chose, stunning! All arround great sleek but prominent look!
Thanks so much, Niko! I appreciate you watching
Stunning design and realization. Reminds me a little of Lord of the Rings.
Yup, that’s what I was going for.. a little darker though. 😜. Thanks for watching
drow elves were absent in LOTR but NOT absent in the knife maker's wet dreams =/
Yep definitely looks inspired by orcrist.
@@josiahtheblacksmith467 he's done it all; fantasy, military, and original designs
@@LIONTAMER3D wasn't a complaint just an observation, I like the style, similar to a falcata
Absolutely loved the build. Decided to give it a try and make my own elven short sword. Thanks for inspiring!
That’s great, Jon! Send me a pic for Viewer Knives! Thanks for watching
@@TyrellKnifeworks just finished it. ill send u pictures in a few! came out super cool!
I am just starting to learn about steel work and blade smithing, and I am fascinated. I doubt I will ever see a sword more beautiful than this! I wish I could somehow start to learn… 😢 Thank you for sharing!
Watch my Beginner Series playlist. That will get you started. 👍. Thanks for watching, David.
Beautiful piece for sure. A couple of questions: when quenching copper, it gets annealed, how does having it as the core affects the overall strength of the blade? If the blade is functional, how well does it retain its edge shape when hacking objects harder than a plastic jug of coloured water? Thank you for sharing that experience.
Remember the copper is a thin layer OVER the core of high carbon steel. The copper you see doesn’t go through the blade, it’s exposed from grinding the bevels at an angle. Thanks for watching.
This is a really amazing build! Very creative and beautiful! Side note: That's a protractor, not a compass. (That bothered me way more than it should of /shrug)
Yeah, screwed up the name of that for some reason. Thanks for watching
Holy mackerel! That is a stunning weapon, I've never seen such a beautiful blade crafted on youtube before. This has secured me as a follower of your craft, and it's also interesting to see how you overcome the difficulties of the blade with it's perpendicular and creating that valley benind the taper on the blade, fascinating. This is also the first time that I saw someone blacken their parts and it's so cool. When I saw the sword come out of the oil bath I was so hoping that the dark color of it was kept and I cannot describe how exstatic I was when I saw the end result. Thank you good sir for this wonderful and masterful video. I'll be sure to stick around for more of your crafts!
Welcome to the channel, Dmitri! Thanks for checking out this build!
Very impressive work that produced Art in a form of Weapon and vice versa , thank you for sharing your skills
Thanks for taking a look!
Amazing work! Absolutely beautiful! By the way it reminds me of the short swordspear the elf prince used in Hell Boy 2, so I was wondering what your thoughts were on making short spears or fantasy spearswords?
Well our next challenge is The Fantasy Challenge so you might see those type of weapons built. Thanks for watching
"thats not a Sword thats a knife when you die can me daughter have it" :) one Northman said to the Arab
I’m not really sure what that means but thanks for watching
It is a movie line from "13th warrior" with Antonio Banderas
That is beautiful. It always amazing to watch a craftsman at work. So inspiring.
Thanks so much, Robbie! I appreciate you watching!
Unbelievable craftsmanship. I'm just starting out in forging and videos like this are very inspiring not to mention the fact that you take the time to explain and teach as you go. Subbed for sure.
Welcome to the channel! If you're starting out, I recommend you watch the Beginner and Intermediate Build series playlists. Those will take you through a bunch of important skills. Thanks for watching!
Thanks! Will do.@@TyrellKnifeworks
ok that was cute what your wife did that's something I would do to my husband if he were doing a video lol. you know that sword is totally giving Dark Elf vibes
She’s a keeper for sure! 😉. The sword was definitely dark-elf inspired so you hit that on the head! Thanks for watching.
Very very nice work on this blade, I might be doing something similar soon now that I’ve seen this and how it turned out, also that was super sweet wholesome content that you left in the “love you hun” definitely gained a sub today brother.
I’m currently working on another katana for the Samurai Challenge that premieres next month. Stay tuned! Thanks for watching.
Man you are just an ultimate Craftsman that is just incredibly beautiful how you put everything together and figured everything out before you even started is awesome I'm so glad you shared it with people because that is just that is just beautiful gorgeous
Thanks so much, Bryan! I appreciate you checking out this build.
I love it, very impressive, a lot of patience, and a lot of skill, perfect, you make my morning.
Thanks for watching, Adham
Wow! That’s amazing! I respect you for having the skill to make such an amazing blade!
Thanks for checking it out!
A beautiful blade. For it to come out straight after the quench is great, well done. Nice job.
Thanks for taking a look!
My only suggestion: Split this into a four-video series so that you can monetize more…this blade is worth it!!! Excellent craftsmanship
This already has a 4 part series. Note, that doesn’t get you more money. To go viral, it’s better to have a single video. Thanks for watching.
Just gorgeous!
Thanks for watching, Pete!
Sir, that’s one helluva fine looking blade. Well done.
Thanks for taking a look!
Absolutely Beautiful. A Work of art I loved the wood on the handle and the Copper REALLY magnifies the appearance. And that's to not even mention the Beauty of the Damascus folding !! I Wish I had known about your techniques when I took Shop in high school, I'd love to have made one. Thank you.
Thanks for checking out this build! Be sure to watch my latest build where I do this technique with $5500 worth of 24k gold!!
Great video, great workmanship and most importantly a humble honest narration, love from another maker
Thanks so much, Trevor & Heather! I appreciate you taking a look.
I love that there's a small cute heart in the pattern of the wood on the handle!
That was a total coincidence. 😜Thanks for watching.
this is my first time seeing youre work... really amazing job finished piece looks wayyyy cleaner than i could have imagined congratulations to you!
Thanks so much, Oliver! I appreciate you taking a look!
