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 Жыл бұрын

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 Жыл бұрын

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.

@pbfirearms5388 Жыл бұрын

That answers my question about the copper bond.

@TyrellKnifeworks Жыл бұрын

@@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 Жыл бұрын

@@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.

By no means a traditional かたな build, but still beautiful! I love watching people use different methods to create cultural pieces. It shows the unique beauty that happens when cultures merge. Edit: how do you keep your copper pieces from tarnishing?

@TyrellKnifeworks Жыл бұрын

As long as you keep the sword clean and dry and put a bit of oil on it, it will continue to look great. If it does tarnish a bit, a few wipes with a sunshine cloth or a light buffing will return it to its original lustre. Thanks for watching.

Sandwiching the copper makes the blade look better. However, since iron and copper have different ionization tendencies, galvanic corrosion accelerates corrosion. It would be the best process to make a sword as an ornament.

@TyrellKnifeworks 9 ай бұрын

Read the pinned comment. Galvanic corrosion requires the presence of an electrolyte. Keep the blade clean and dry, like you should for any high carbon steel blade and it will last a lifetime. This isn't a new process, maybe new to you. Thanks for watching.

@Heuroya 9 ай бұрын

@@TyrellKnifeworks If the blade is kept dry all the time, it certainly won’t cause galvanic corrosion. However, air contains moisture, and water may precipitate due to a drop in temperature (such as night dew). So there is always possibility of galvanic corrosion . If the blade is put in a box with a desiccant like silica gel and seal it up, you don’t have to worry about galvanic corrosion.

Hello, beautiful sword. I was contemplating not making this comment as to not make you reopen the sword but I think that it will be helpful for you if you plan on making Japanese swords in the future. In your makers mark you separated the ル character into two separate characters that look like ノandレ as well as rotating the elongation character after the ワ 90 degrees to account for the vertical text. these change the pronunciation from "ta i re ru na i fu wa- ku su" to "ta i re no re na i fu wa ichi ku su" I recommend a mark that says 「タイレルの刃品」with the last 2 characters meaning "knife goods". Anyway sorry for the correction I just want to make sure that when this sword is viewed by people hundreds of years from now they will be able to understand who made it.
