00:02:17
echo_blades
Doesn't matter.

00:02:37
echo_blades
I'm ready now. I just cracked open. What do I got tonight? strawberry water loo.
00:02:43
Denis Tyrell
Strawberry waterloo. I am drinking my friend Corona.
00:02:47
echo_blades
Nice.
00:02:50
echo_blades
Oh, man. If I was a real Mexican, I would have did the. er That commercial with the. subda la la la finas Is that what it is?
00:02:58
Denis Tyrell
La cerveza mas fina.
00:03:01
echo_blades
It's been a long time since I've had one, so kill me a break there.
00:03:01
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:03:07
Denis Tyrell
Oh, I don't even know where to start. We got so much to talk about. We're going to be announcing, which is why I need some extra time.
Apocalyptic Challenge Winners & Future Plans
00:03:17
Denis Tyrell
I forgot I hadn't added up all the tallied the votes, but we're going to announce the apocalyptic challenge winners in today's episode.
00:03:25
echo_blades
ooh Ooh, exciting.
00:03:27
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. Yes, but we're going to we'll make you wait. we're We're going to make these guys wait a little bit.
00:03:35
echo_blades
Oh, I was going to say, give it to me, but all right.
00:03:37
Denis Tyrell
No.
00:03:38
echo_blades
Stay tuned.
00:03:38
Denis Tyrell
Stay tuned. people will Keep listening.
00:03:40
echo_blades
So we got the, yeah, we got the apocalypse challenge winners. Uh, that was a quick two weeks. I'm not sure I got through them all.
00:03:48
Denis Tyrell
who It was, yeah. um I'll be honest, this one, I had i i was so busy ah during this challenge that there was like almost a week that went by Um, when I was just doing stuff. Um, so it was, I had a, the week before I had a class to teach. So this one just kind of rocketed by like the the last two weeks. I mean, so, but, uh, I don't, I don't think this challenge did as well as past challenges, uh, which is surprising cause I thought the topic was going to be, um,
00:04:32
Denis Tyrell
something that a lot of viewers would be interested in, how to, you know, apocalyptic, how to make something from nothing kind of thing. Um, but probably our least watched challenge so far. So I dunno, it gives me a little pause on, um, you know, the next challenge and, uh, something that, you know, we'll talk about near the end, but,
00:04:56
Denis Tyrell
I may drop these down to one a year, so we'll we'll see. i'mnna I'm going to ponder it, but a year?
00:05:03
echo_blades
So what are we on right now? Three?
00:05:07
Denis Tyrell
No, two.
00:05:07
echo_blades
Three a year.
00:05:08
Denis Tyrell
Two.
00:05:09
echo_blades
Two a year.
00:05:10
Denis Tyrell
Two. Spring and fall.
00:05:12
echo_blades
Hmm. I thought they were like every three months for some reason.
00:05:15
Denis Tyrell
No, every six months.
00:05:17
echo_blades
Okay.
00:05:17
Denis Tyrell
April and October.
00:05:18
echo_blades
All right.
00:05:21
Denis Tyrell
So i'm I'm thinking about switching them so that they're yearly and they'll start right after Blade Show. I don't want to be this year, sorry, next year, I don't really want to be working on a challenge um a month or two before Blade Show.
00:05:42
echo_blades
If you, if the listeners could see my face, I understand though.
00:05:42
Denis Tyrell
Because is he's full of disdain right now.
00:05:53
echo_blades
I do.
00:05:53
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, but I think summer is like the slow period for everybody. That's a great time to have a challenge, right? The slowest time of the year, like sales wise and everything.
00:06:02
echo_blades
Sure. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:06:05
Denis Tyrell
So it's a good time to just kind of relax. And so I think, I think that's what we're going to do. I haven't even proposed this to any, to the guys or anything like that, but, um, I will, we'll see.
00:06:20
echo_blades
But for all the people that are attending blade show, getting ready for blade show, that is some time better spent preparing for blade show rather than a challenge.
Challenge Frequency Adjustment
00:06:31
echo_blades
I can see that.
00:06:31
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, that is some premium time. And, um, I want to make, I want to make a, I want to have a big push for blade show next year.
00:06:34
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:06:39
Denis Tyrell
So, um, yeah.
00:06:43
echo_blades
Nice.
00:06:44
Denis Tyrell
Well, let why don't we start with, uh, how was your week?
00:06:47
echo_blades
I do have to like make a announcement here because I got called out for, for my four buddies, Andrew, the pine pig and my buddy PJ.
00:07:04
echo_blades
PJ, Peter Prescott, Pedro, all of these beautiful names. This one guy has, but he called, he called, text me up and said, I'm very disappointed in you, Jared.
00:07:16
echo_blades
You missed a star Wars reference from Noah on the last episodes. Um, when you guys were talking about Lawrence being in Canada and apparently, uh, Noah dropped a reference to the planet Hoth.
00:07:27
Denis Tyrell
Maybe I missed it too. What was the reference?
00:07:34
Denis Tyrell
Oh, I didn't even hear that.
00:07:35
echo_blades
I didn't either weren't right over my head, but I had to end.
00:07:39
Denis Tyrell
I mean, i would have I would have figured out Hoth, but I don't think I ever heard it.
00:07:40
echo_blades
And then I had to look it up. I didn't know it was an icy planet and it made so much sense.
00:07:45
Denis Tyrell
Oh.
00:07:46
echo_blades
And I could have really capitalized on that. But my, uh, when we were talking about Lawrence and I was talking about how far away he was from us, he's like, you know, he couldn't be any farther from us.
00:07:49
Denis Tyrell
When did he say that?
00:07:59
echo_blades
And then he said he was, you know, in some fantasy, Hothland, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I was like, shit.
00:08:04
Denis Tyrell
Oh, I didn't catch that. I didn't hear it.
00:08:06
echo_blades
Right over my head, but good old PJ Prescott Peterson.
00:08:14
Denis Tyrell
Are these these your buddies that came to Blade Show that time?
00:08:18
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:08:19
Denis Tyrell
OK.
00:08:20
echo_blades
Oh, he's got like a million names. They all start with P and yeah.
00:08:23
Denis Tyrell
Oh.
00:08:26
echo_blades
And we have a, and we have a pine pig friend. So anyways.
00:08:31
echo_blades
I got it all in guys. You're welcome. Yeah. So, uh, sorry, Noah, that's my bad. I, I, I messed that up. I totally missed it. And I, apparently I am not as awesome at star Wars as I think I am in my mind. So anyways, just wanted to call myself out and everybody enjoys when, you know, he also pointed out that I bought a one amp trickle charger.
00:08:56
echo_blades
So, uh, well, I mean, as I told you guys, I come from nothing.
00:08:58
Denis Tyrell
That I thought was funny.
00:09:03
echo_blades
I know nothing.
00:09:05
Denis Tyrell
That is a a very slow trickle.
00:09:05
echo_blades
It's just everything.
00:09:08
echo_blades
Yeah. Battery may tainer.
00:09:13
Denis Tyrell
I have a 2-amp on a switchable one, but it's 50, 10, and 2, I think.
00:09:14
echo_blades
then
00:09:19
echo_blades
You know, it's it's odd that I was walking through Costco with the Mrs. Echo blades the other day and we were, I always go by the tool. I'll just, just to see, you know, I did buy something. I bought like some,
00:09:36
echo_blades
stupid scrubber thing. It's like a like electronic toothbrush, but ah not I don't know. It's it showed it like um cleaning up like lug nuts on wheels, scrubber, you know, I was like, Oh, sure, I need that.
00:09:49
Denis Tyrell
Okay.
00:09:51
echo_blades
But right next to that was like a six amp trickle charger. I was like, Oh, see, Lynn, this is the kind of trickle charging amperage we need here.
00:10:01
Denis Tyrell
what What did you need this for to start a car?
00:10:03
echo_blades
but What? What?
00:10:05
Denis Tyrell
What did you need the trickle charger for to charge a car battery?
00:10:07
echo_blades
Yeah, both of my batteries died at the same time. And I had to just replace them. It's a long story. I don't want to get into it.
00:10:15
Denis Tyrell
You want a 10 amp, not a six.
00:10:18
echo_blades
Well, I want more than one. That's what I learned. I need more than one.
00:10:28
Denis Tyrell
yeah Even like you buy a real one that has like the triple, like the boost charge for 50, the 10 and the two, you want all three.
00:10:40
echo_blades
Look, I'm just following direction here. I take suggestions and I learned, you know, they say when you jump out of a plane, you should wear a parachute. So that's kind of what I did about a trickle charger. He didn't say, yeah, they didn't say ah how big the parachute needed to be.
00:10:48
Denis Tyrell
You bought a really small parachute.
Teaching & Projects Delay
00:10:55
echo_blades
But anyways, I just had to, had to set that straight. And so yes. And those are my four beautiful buddies from all over the country. So anyways, uh, what have I been up to fudge?
00:11:09
Denis Tyrell
and fudge?
00:11:09
echo_blades
I don't know.
00:11:11
Denis Tyrell
Nothing?
00:11:11
echo_blades
yeah ive mean i I got a lot of stuff going on. How was Rick's visit?
00:11:16
Denis Tyrell
you want to whos going You want to tell us?
00:11:20
echo_blades
Yeah, I just don't know where to start.
00:11:23
Denis Tyrell
All right. Well, I'll go then. Yeah. So last week, um started the Katana builds, quickly got stopped because I did not have my core steel. I forgot that I was out of ah the steel I needed for the core, so was waiting for my order from my buddy Lawrence at Maritime Knife Supply.
00:11:50
echo_blades
Mm hmm.
00:11:51
Denis Tyrell
So I'm going to get this plan.
00:11:52
echo_blades
they're implanted Hoth. Yeah.
00:11:53
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, I'm planning off.
00:11:53
echo_blades
Okay.
00:11:54
Denis Tyrell
So if you need steel abrasives, whatever it is, go get him a maritime drive supply. And, uh, luckily with the quick shipping, I was able to get it in a week.
00:12:05
echo_blades
Nice.
00:12:05
Denis Tyrell
I was also waiting on braces from him as well. So, uh, yeah, go get all your goodies at maritime and, uh, get them quickly sent to you so you can continue your projects.
00:12:17
echo_blades
That's right.
00:12:18
Denis Tyrell
Um, ah Yeah, so I was halted on that. I actually started, um so we we, I don't know if we talked about your folder.
00:12:30
Denis Tyrell
um We haven't because we, yes.
00:12:31
echo_blades
No, I haven't said haven't said anything.
00:12:33
Denis Tyrell
So um after that one, ah decided that I got to bug up my ass that I wanted to make an auto. So in the downtime, started an auto.
00:12:40
echo_blades
That's right.
00:12:44
Denis Tyrell
which I'm very happy about. It's fitting up really nice, but I'm waiting for parts on that too. so And then Rick Hall, who was taking the same folder course that I took from Mike Vagnino, was headed down there this weekend, but um he came a couple of days early to spend a couple of days with me.
00:13:08
Denis Tyrell
And um we we worked on his folder design because he he he is not good at knife print. So we was going to say he's a knife print idiot, but that would be harsh.
00:13:20
Denis Tyrell
um
00:13:21
echo_blades
He's a knife print idiot. That's great. I love it.
00:13:24
Denis Tyrell
um Sorry, Rick. But we and we did it out of his account at knife print. So he's got his his folder design.
00:13:35
echo_blades
Nice.
00:13:36
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. And then we forged some Kuma.
00:13:37
echo_blades
It was pretty cool, too. I got we got to see it. I got to see it. and It was the templates of it and everything. so
00:13:42
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. But when he when he got there, um I talked to him this morning and ah Mike said, Mike V said, well, where you got the pivot, that's not going to work. It's not going to pivot, right? And Rick's like, well, I'm pretty sure it's going to work because we tested it with the pivot feature. And I think Mike just wanted It's not like his usual design.
00:14:03
Denis Tyrell
So I think he wanted to change it. So they did.
00:14:06
echo_blades
gotcha
00:14:06
Denis Tyrell
but And then they ran into a bunch of problems because they changed the design.
00:14:08
echo_blades
Gotcha.
00:14:10
Denis Tyrell
So he probably should have kept going with it. But I'm sure he's going to make a few of those at home with that design.
00:14:19
echo_blades
Overall, the class went well, though.
00:14:21
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, he loved it. yeah Yeah, he was really happy with the class, learned a lot. um all Also, I think I talked to Rick this morning who talked to Mike.
00:14:32
Denis Tyrell
I think I have a fix to center up yours a little more.
00:14:37
echo_blades
Oh, cool.
00:14:39
Denis Tyrell
So bring me that knife.
00:14:42
echo_blades
Okay. No problem.
00:14:45
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:14:46
echo_blades
Yeah. So Rick came over. We, uh,
Design Collaboration & Course Preparation
00:14:49
echo_blades
you guys hung out, did some forging, made a bunch of stuff. Uh, what do you do at Kuma? I think
00:14:55
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, Rick had never done a kumai before, so we um we, like we always do. We got a little, you know, over overestimated the time we had.
00:15:08
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:15:08
Denis Tyrell
um But anyway, we did like a... um Kind of a non-standard billet alternating sizes whatever and then we seed it then we restacked it and then we twisted it So I'm kind of curious what it looks like.
00:15:22
Denis Tyrell
ah He took the majority of it home. Oh, and then we layered it with copper um He took the majority of it home. I I saved enough to make a couple folders out of that blade out of that billet So yeah, but I'm curious what what he what do he makes out of it
00:15:34
echo_blades
Nice.
00:15:40
echo_blades
Yeah, cool.
00:15:43
Denis Tyrell
But that was fun. He had never made he'd never forged with copper before, so it was kind of just showing him the ropes on that.
00:15:49
echo_blades
Nice. That's cool. See, guys, ladies and germs, we all have areas and things that we've never done. Always learning, always first to do, and even an experienced maker like Mr. Rick Hall can get after something that he's never tried before. So that's really cool.
00:16:12
echo_blades
And then we we had dinner on Halloween, right?
00:16:15
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, yeah, we had a steak dinner.
00:16:16
echo_blades
and i And I did learn that you would be a horrible drug addict. it
00:16:24
Denis Tyrell
I don't know how to feel about that.
00:16:26
echo_blades
Well, I am a professional drug addict, think so you are the opposite end because your torch skills are fucking absolutely horrible. i So this is so not okay for me to say.
00:16:40
Denis Tyrell
My torch.
00:16:40
echo_blades
Dennis lights a f freaking candle with a torch and just explodes this thing all over his living room.
00:16:44
Denis Tyrell
oh i forgot about that yeah it was a candle in a in a glass you know whatever a glass holder jar and uh i was even thinking maybe the glass will shatter but if i hold this here too long but i didn't think i held it there that long
00:16:47
echo_blades
And I'm like, bro, you, yeah, this is good. So anyways, all my, uh,
00:16:58
echo_blades
jar. Yeah.
00:17:06
echo_blades
Yeah, it's it was the second, it was the second torch that like you heated it all up and then you went back in for the kill. So anyways, if you know, you know, and if you don't, then you're, you're a good person and keep living that life.
00:17:19
echo_blades
It's, it's better for you.
00:17:19
Denis Tyrell
yeah but like luckily it was after we had steak and nothing went into the food but yes uh
00:17:20
echo_blades
So, uh, anyways, yeah, I thought that was hilarious. I laughed my ass off class all over them over the floor.
00:17:32
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:17:34
echo_blades
To which, what was that damn vegetable I had that I never had?
00:17:42
echo_blades
Parsnips. That's right. Yeah. Ugly, ugly carrots turned to mashed potatoes. I don't know.
00:17:49
Denis Tyrell
But you ate them all.
00:17:49
echo_blades
it was Yeah. Well, I was at your house. I do have parents. They did raise me to, you know, not be a jerk.
00:17:56
Denis Tyrell
but Did you really not like it?
00:17:58
echo_blades
It would, my honest opinion was, ah why not just make mashed potatoes?
00:18:01
Denis Tyrell
out
00:18:04
echo_blades
But they were okay. If I never had them again, I wouldn't miss them.
00:18:10
Denis Tyrell
You're so uncultured.
00:18:12
echo_blades
I guess so. Yeah. But it wasn't, it wasn't bad, dude.
00:18:14
Denis Tyrell
Parsnips with a little cream, some salt, it's very good.
00:18:18
echo_blades
ah Honestly, it was not bad. It just like, it looked like mashed potatoes and I wanted to taste mashed potatoes and there was different tastes in mashed potatoes.
00:18:28
Denis Tyrell
You know you could puree something beyond potatoes, right?
00:18:31
echo_blades
you No, I learned that. See the, just the evolution of Jared ear one amps to parsnips.
00:18:43
echo_blades
What a week.
00:18:43
Denis Tyrell
ah the Yeah, and apparently, yeah um not only can I not use a torch, I found out in the last two weeks over the podcast, I guess I'm not hip and young, and I don't know a bunch of terms,
00:18:55
Denis Tyrell
What was the one you guys said? Oh, the the comment.
00:18:58
echo_blades
You're, you're a real one.
00:19:00
Denis Tyrell
ah Yeah.
00:19:01
echo_blades
I knew it. did i ah I just saw this whole thing play out and it like happened right in front of me. Like yeah the you hadn't even responded to the guy and I was reading the comment and I was like, he's not going to know what the fuck that means.
00:19:17
echo_blades
And then he was like, yeah, thank you. I guess. Yes.
00:19:22
echo_blades
yeah
00:19:27
echo_blades
That was a very nice compliment that that dude gave you.
00:19:30
Denis Tyrell
Oh, cause you're a real one could be your real ass. I don't know.
00:19:36
echo_blades
No. Us young kids.
00:19:39
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. You young kids. Yeah. You young and don't even know where that came from.
00:19:42
echo_blades
That is a term of endearment for Canadian shadoshis.
00:19:51
echo_blades
What?
00:19:51
Denis Tyrell
I know it's a Japanese term, but I don't know what you are. You're implying by that.
00:19:56
echo_blades
The definition, you're, you're the shadoshi.
00:19:58
Denis Tyrell
All right.
00:20:00
echo_blades
You're the wizard of Katana making. It's a very fitting for you, sir.
00:20:08
Denis Tyrell
Oh, all right, I'll take it.
00:20:09
echo_blades
You're a real one. The shadoshi is a real one folks. I can't remember what Ryan said, but that was hilarious. Like Daniel son, so but Dennis ah son.
00:20:21
echo_blades
It was funny.
00:20:21
Denis Tyrell
so Well, the one thing that Rick and I did have a good conversation about is um talking about our master Smith and.
00:20:33
Denis Tyrell
just that whole philosophy of when, when should you try for your master Smith? And, you know, when we were thinking of trying it, um, and that was a really good conversation. We, we talked about that for Well, it was actually several different times we talked about it because I think
Master Smith Exam Readiness
00:20:53
Denis Tyrell
we have this discussion every year six months or something about our masters myths and and when when we think we're going to be ready and we're both of the opinion
00:21:04
Denis Tyrell
we'll make a bunch of knives and then, you know, keep showing them to people, like Master Smith, like Quesenberry and Vangnino and guys. And when someone says, yeah, that could be a Master Smith knife, then maybe I'll put one aside. um But, you know, it's our opinion, both Rick and I, that, um I don't know, I think people are in just in too big of a hurry to take their Master Smith.
00:21:35
Denis Tyrell
Um, and question Berry said the same thing. Why is everyone in a hurry to take their master Smith, uh, two years after their journeyman?
00:21:44
echo_blades
Is that the the wait time is a minimum two years?
00:21:46
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. Yeah.
00:21:47
echo_blades
Okay.
00:21:48
Denis Tyrell
And, you know, my, um, maybe it's a hot take for some people, but I think that, um, 90% of people are not ready.
00:22:01
Denis Tyrell
in two years, i'm two years after their journeyman, unless they waited too long to take their journeyman. Meaning they could have passed their journeyman 10 years earlier. Yeah, then maybe you're closer to master, but I hold mass the master title in very, very high regard. And I don't think it's something you get two years after your journeyman.
00:22:26
Denis Tyrell
And of course there's always, there's always exceptions, but they're that they're exceptions. They're not, you know, most people are going to take their master two years after and pass.
00:22:37
echo_blades
You sounded very, very purist right now, sir.
00:22:38
Denis Tyrell
So Hey, I'm telling you, it could be a hot take for some people.
00:22:44
echo_blades
I'm just saying very individual it's a very individual choice that should be left to that individual because the factor or the the deciding factor is you're going to pass.
00:22:45
Denis Tyrell
um
00:22:55
Denis Tyrell
Um,
00:23:00
echo_blades
If you're not ready, you're going to fail.
00:23:02
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, well um I'm not.
00:23:02
echo_blades
Right. And then you got, you only got a couple of times, right?
00:23:06
Denis Tyrell
That's right. I just mean that I don't want to take it in.
00:23:06
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:23:09
Denis Tyrell
Rick and I don't want to take it and fail.
00:23:12
echo_blades
Sure.
00:23:12
Denis Tyrell
So our belief is that people are racing towards that title when they should wait a little. you know I would prefer to wait a little, get some more experience, get some more designs.
00:23:27
Denis Tyrell
Um, some more skills under my belt. And I think a lot of people have their sights set on that thing too high, too, too soon. But Hey, like I said, it could be a hot take, but that's, uh, Yeah.
00:23:43
echo_blades
It's a teach his own type thing. You know, like I said, if you, if, if, if they are going to rush it and they're not ready, they'll find out, right?
00:23:45
Denis Tyrell
Well, yeah.
00:23:51
echo_blades
That was the thing.
00:23:51
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:23:51
echo_blades
Fuck around and find out.
00:23:53
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:23:53
echo_blades
That's what, that's what happens.
00:23:53
Denis Tyrell
Just, just know the ABS, the ABS guys in question berry has said it on a podcast that he doesn't understand why people are going for that so quickly.
00:24:05
Denis Tyrell
And I think they're extra hard on, on people that are, you know, going for it early. Um, so be warned that, uh, the, uh, the bar set really high.
00:24:21
echo_blades
Yeah, I feel the same way for the journeyman. So that's how I feel. I'm ready.
00:24:28
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, I mean, it's.
00:24:29
echo_blades
I'm supposed to I'm my my time is up. I could test this year.
00:24:34
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:24:34
echo_blades
Not going not going to but because it's okay to wait.
00:24:38
Denis Tyrell
Come on, you can do it. It is okay to wait. And if you're not ready, you're not ready.
00:24:41
echo_blades
It is okay to wait. Yep.
00:24:44
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:24:45
echo_blades
And confidence means you lack confidence. You're not ready. That's one of those things you got to be
00:24:53
echo_blades
ready for ready.
00:24:54
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. Yep.
00:24:56
echo_blades
Good deal. Um, so yeah yeah, first off, I, I was supposed to open the show with this, but, uh, more echo, the devil's skull Damascus piece.
Creativity in Knife Making
00:25:13
echo_blades
I was going to talk about it last week and, um, I wasn't quite sure if I was supposed to, if I had permission, if it was a known thing. And I think, um, you know, airing on the side of caution, we kind of held off, but, um,
00:25:32
echo_blades
I'm not sure it was a big deal, but the whole point of what I was trying to bring up was that during that innovation and you know like seeing past the brown thing that Noah and I kind of got a little deep on, um that knife with that pattern is probably single-handedly the most creative and awesome piece that I have seen. And being able to be there with Mareko while he was explaining how he did it and how awesome it was for him to share that information right ah to a group of people um with you know the techniques and which he used. um And even if I was to tell you guys those techniques, if I could remember them in full detail,
00:26:19
echo_blades
Um, good fucking luck. Like it, it was mind blowing man, but that piece was just absolutely phenomenal and really just like it has had me motivated and inspired on a level that I hadn't quite been in a while because You know, it really played into my whole take on like limiting myself to to what I'm what I see being done versus what I can dream as possible. And I think that knife right there is one of the examples of, you know,
00:26:57
echo_blades
how far you can push the boundaries. um And he did put a post out about it. And if you haven't seen it, you guys need to go check this out. It is a Damascus pattern that was put together and there's a fucking skull on the knife.
00:27:13
Denis Tyrell
lookop my My favorite part of that of holding that knife in my hand, and I think Moreco missed an opportunity on his posts. He didn't show this piece. The most to the skull is it's kind of a half skull.
00:27:28
echo_blades
Yes.
00:27:28
Denis Tyrell
ka and This is a demon skull with horns. okay It's a half skull, but as you rotate around the spine of the knife, which Mareko didn't do in his video, and I think he he missed an opportunity there.
00:27:31
echo_blades
ye
00:27:41
Denis Tyrell
Mareko, go put another post up if you're listening, um is if you flip the knife over around the spine, like it's perfectly um symmetrical, not just symmetrical, but
00:27:52
echo_blades
Symmetrical.
00:27:55
Denis Tyrell
Like you see more of the face as it goes around the spine.
00:28:00
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:28:00
Denis Tyrell
Like it's incredible. It was amazing to see in person and there's like, like what is like 41 different pieces to this thing, 11 different forge welds.
00:28:11
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:28:12
Denis Tyrell
Like it's insane.
00:28:12
echo_blades
Yeah. It is insane. Yeah. That's ah the collab with with Gabe from Anchorage Forge.
00:28:16
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:28:19
echo_blades
I think it started like I think Gabe Mike was challenging him like, can you do the something like this?
00:28:25
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. channel yeah
00:28:27
echo_blades
And, and he, you know, America was saying he was grateful for the, for the motivation and the challenge. Cause it really got him, got his creative juices flowing.
00:28:38
echo_blades
He did some really amazing things, man. And then, and it's.
00:28:43
echo_blades
and Like, it's so simple, but so complex and so just like, for me. So um that's what I wanted to talk about. Yes. Or last week. um And I'm happy that he put that out there and we're we're talking about it now because it is just absolutely amazing. If you haven't seen it, you got to go check it out. It's it's it's just one of those. It's it's one of those things for me anyways, you know.
00:29:06
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, and that kind of ties into, I'm gonna i'm gonna do a little callback to my Master Smith discussion, because there's two knives that I wanna talk about from AKI, from the Art Knife Invitational.
00:29:09
echo_blades
Sure.
00:29:20
Denis Tyrell
And one of them is from, I'm forgetting it's Jean-Pierre Pouvain, but he did that angel, that dagger that's in the shape of an angel, and it's got the wings.
00:29:32
echo_blades
Yeah. Yeah, he was a spotlight not too long ago, right?
00:29:36
Denis Tyrell
Right.
00:29:37
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:29:38
Denis Tyrell
Incredible. Like the whole, it's not just a knife, it's a whole design motif, right?
00:29:43
echo_blades
Sure.
00:29:44
Denis Tyrell
It's like Moreco did. It's the design of this knife is what's impressive about it. And the other one I want to call out is Jordan Lamothe's.
00:29:54
echo_blades
Hm.
00:29:54
Denis Tyrell
he He did this knife, which is called, he called it the oracle, which I, the only thing i took I thought was weird was the name. Cause it looked like the eye of Horus. I think it is the eye of Horus, which is an Egyptian reference. And then he called it the oracle, which is a Greek reference. That was weird. But, um but naming aside the knife itself, like the, the design of like the the theme of this knife, incredible.
00:30:24
Denis Tyrell
Like that that's Master Smith quality when it's not just a knife, it is a hole you know a whole design element. There's a whole theme to it.
00:30:34
Denis Tyrell
Like it it has a life of its own beyond it's just a knife someone's gonna use, right? I mean, there are, you know, yeah, you need a couple knives in your Master Smith set that are just knives, but at least one has gotta like, you know, knock the judge's socks off.
00:30:40
echo_blades
Right.
00:30:51
Denis Tyrell
in my opinion. And those are the kind of knives that, you know, really impressive. So shout out to those guys, amazing knives in, in AKI. I didn't go, but I mean, I saw the pictures and, you know, the reviews and stuff.
00:31:05
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:31:07
Denis Tyrell
So very cool.
00:31:11
echo_blades
Yeah, really cool stuff out there. I love it.
00:31:15
Denis Tyrell
And of course, Seth's knives, I thought were nice too. Seth Lopez was at AKI.
00:31:21
echo_blades
Yeah. I think I thought I said that last week.
00:31:24
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, you you guys are talking about that.
00:31:24
echo_blades
I was, I was kind of, yeah, I was. Yeah. He did the Trinity, that, that keyhole that had keyholes on keyholes. And that thing was just, just amazing.
00:31:35
Denis Tyrell
And that he did that dagger that was just stacked sees, but stacked in a way I've never seen.
00:31:43
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:31:43
Denis Tyrell
I've never seen anyone do a diagonal stack like that.
00:31:47
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:31:47
Denis Tyrell
Like, where did he?
00:31:48
echo_blades
And that dagger sat around for two years, he was saying it took him to till he finally made it.
00:31:51
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:31:53
echo_blades
So.
00:31:54
Denis Tyrell
And like visually, I mean, it's, it's, you know, a low layer mosaic, but it's visually stunning, but simplistic, like simplistic in design, but elegant and very nice and very well executed.
00:32:09
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:32:11
Denis Tyrell
Again, kind of approach. If not, I mean, I know he's just going for his journeyman, but I think he's already pushing the edges on Mastersmith.
00:32:19
echo_blades
Yeah. Good stuff.
00:32:23
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, awesome.
00:32:28
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:32:29
Denis Tyrell
So um I did love ah your guys' discussion on trying to see past the brown. That was really good. I love that that that little anecdote and story that Noah talked about.
00:32:45
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:32:46
Denis Tyrell
So that was...
00:32:47
echo_blades
Really painted a clear picture of trying to, you know, I don't know how that, that stuff just comes together. You know, like I was just talking about trying to progress and, and not give, you know, it it was really.
00:33:01
echo_blades
off the heels of the complacency topic that you guys had talked about a couple of weeks prior or the week prior, because that had been something that you and I were was up here to discuss and and we didn't you and I never got to to do that.
00:33:09
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:33:16
echo_blades
And then on the heels of listening to that, it was it was pretty cool because that's what I started thinking about all the conversations that we had. But that real that he had brought up was painted a very clear picture of what we were trying to talk about.
00:33:29
echo_blades
You know, is definitely getting there.
00:33:34
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:33:36
echo_blades
Liked it.
00:33:37
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. That was a good one. I liked that.
00:33:42
Denis Tyrell
um I got something in the mail today.
00:33:45
echo_blades
What did you get, Dennis?
00:33:48
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, I want everyone to know that Jared has. Like which powers are?
00:33:56
echo_blades
bit Bitch powers or which are your watch your mouth?
00:33:57
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, that too.
00:33:59
echo_blades
no
00:34:02
Denis Tyrell
ah Jared has gypsy powers. um Just when when Rick was there, Jared came over and he was he was. complaining that he's got the same surface gri um granite surface plate that I do. And he's like, well, yeah, it's too small and blah, blah, blah. And he was bitching about it that very day. And I've had this thing for over three years, almost four years. I've had that granite surface plate. I've moved that thing around. It's six by 18. I've moved that thing around.
00:34:38
Denis Tyrell
probably 100, if not 500 times. I go to move it the very day that Jared bitches about it and I drop it and smashes on the floor into two giant pieces.
00:34:53
Denis Tyrell
And i'm and I instantly ah sent him a text and told him that he had cursed me.
00:34:59
echo_blades
Hmm. Hmm.
00:35:03
echo_blades
I just had happened. So there's a store. I don't get to get out much anymore. I went from before I took this position that I'm in now, I was in a, in another role with the company where I spent about half of my time.
00:35:20
echo_blades
Either way, it was you know more than half or less than half, to depending on on the week stuff. But I got to get out a lot and travel all over the Bay Area you're looking at jobs and you know doing surveys of fire sprinkler systems all over the the Bay Area. And there's this store in San Carlos, I don't know, somewhere over on the peninsula. And it's like ah it's a wood store called Woodcraft.
00:35:46
echo_blades
And, uh, I would always stop there and I, like, when I first started making, it was having a shitty day driving by. I would just pull in, go spend 20 minutes, just kind of look around and I would grab something, but they have like a small ah section for knife making, pen turning, you know, like all kinds of shit, but, and then like a shit ton of tools and stuff. So I, I've spent a lot of money there over the years. Um, and I just happened to be.
00:36:12
echo_blades
right down the street from it um last week. So I was like, oh, fuck, I'm going to cruise in there. And I really had nothing that I wanted or needed. It was just a, you know, just a cool store for me to go kind of cruise around in. And that's where I had bought my my surface, the granite surface plate. And I was telling Dennis that I think he's lame for recommending the the size that he did.
00:36:40
echo_blades
And I was looking at them, and they they had different sizes there. And I was like, man, I should grab that. And I like was this close to pulling trigger on the one that you bought the size, the 3-inch by, what was it, 9 by 18?
00:36:51
echo_blades
I don't know. So it's way bigger.
00:36:53
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, it's twice the size, 12 by 18.
00:36:55
echo_blades
It's twice the size, but it's more rectangular.
00:36:57
Denis Tyrell
But it's three inches thick and it's grade A.
00:36:59
echo_blades
Yeah. so um And I was like, man, I should have got that. And the price, div I guess it is about double. It's about double the price of the one. So yeah.
00:37:08
Denis Tyrell
i I think I paid...
00:37:10
echo_blades
I paid, about I but actually bought mine on sale, which is why I bought it. So I paid like 40 bucks for the six by 18 because yeah, but it was 60 bucks there.
00:37:17
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, I think that's what I paid for mine, like 40, 45 bucks.
00:37:22
echo_blades
looking at it today.
00:37:23
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:37:24
echo_blades
Then things have gone up over the past couple of years anyways, but it was on sale when I bought mine. So, but it's, it served its purpose, but like, I was looking at Rick's when I was in, in in Reno and I was like, yeah, that's the kind of, I want a big ass plate like that.
00:37:36
echo_blades
And then I just bust in your balls. And then to hear that you dropped yours the next day, it was fantastic.
00:37:42
Denis Tyrell
the The same day.
00:37:43
echo_blades
Oh, the same day. I'm pretty sure I text you, this is going to be the best thing that's happened to me today. Thank you for sharing.
00:37:48
Denis Tyrell
You're a dick. um Yeah, the new one is three inches. It weighs 80 pounds and it's 12 by 18.
00:37:57
echo_blades
Oh, Lord.
00:37:59
Denis Tyrell
So it's not gonna get moved. It's staying on the table.
00:38:03
echo_blades
Nice.
00:38:03
Denis Tyrell
So I just found where I was finding that I needed a bigger one was um I'm doing all the stuff with folders now and you know i'm I'm using it more.
00:38:17
echo_blades
Just because Jared said so just remember you need a big one.
00:38:21
Denis Tyrell
It was not, i would I would have stayed with the one I had.
00:38:21
echo_blades
Also, you go.
00:38:24
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:38:25
Denis Tyrell
But it is, and the new one, right, the, ah the new one is noticeably um better.
00:38:26
echo_blades
Yeah, there's no reason to to replace it. Like I'm about to do, but yeah, I told him, I said, you know, a guy has got a one for cheap for you. If you're you're in the market to replace that one.
00:38:39
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:38:39
Denis Tyrell
Like it's a grade A one, so it's got a much nicer finish on it.
00:38:39
echo_blades
Good.
00:38:43
echo_blades
Good.
00:38:44
Denis Tyrell
It's within five, 10 thousands of an inch or something crazy like that.
00:38:49
echo_blades
Nice.
00:38:50
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:38:53
Denis Tyrell
So yeah.
00:38:53
echo_blades
So i do I do got a couple things to talk about. One of them was, ah I can't remember what I was, I was looking for a certificate of authenticity.
00:39:06
echo_blades
So I have ah an idea that I wanted to create a a COA and some kind of an editable document that I could just,
00:39:18
Denis Tyrell
you want You want an editable document?
00:39:20
echo_blades
I want to edit Bulldog. Dude, it's been like almost 18 years. I'm ready for an editable document to where I can just, you know, make model thing. and i can just laser pecker that bitch on, you know, those metal business cards and kind of throw that in with, with the knives that I sell because.
00:39:35
Denis Tyrell
Mm hmm.
00:39:39
echo_blades
Side note there is that I actually moved some inventory out last week. So thank you.
00:39:45
Denis Tyrell
Congrats.
00:39:46
echo_blades
Um, it was, it's a, it's a good feeling. Shipping knives is lame. I don't, I don't enjoy that.
00:39:52
Denis Tyrell
Why you shipping knives late?
00:39:53
echo_blades
packaging them up. I don't know, it's just something else I need to do that's out of my way. And I don't know, just not my favorite thing. Just boxing them up, figuring it out. And then I was realizing how shitty my, my shipment stuff. You got a guy like Brent. So you're you're taking these examples of people and things that I have bought before, you know, but Brent has a very good presentation of a product when he delivers it, right? He's got a nice box.
00:40:18
echo_blades
you know, inside the box is good. It's like the opening, the unboxing is is an an event. And I think that's that's a cool feature and not feature, but a thing to have as part of your product, you know, your presentation.
00:40:25
Denis Tyrell
Mm hmm.
00:40:32
echo_blades
So um I realized that I'm just winging it right now. So, but I was thinking about that card. And um there used to be this website called DC knives.
00:40:46
echo_blades
That is like a, it was a blog website and they had a bunch of like, I found it when I was very first making, starting to make, because I was looking for like knife templates to kind of figured her where to start, you know? Um, but he has like this endless library of, of knife templates. But on top of that, there was just, it it was a smorgasbord of information from grinder builds. You know, this is all probably been up way longer than.
00:41:14
echo_blades
like YouTube stuff, videos, how it's progressed, you know, over the past five years or so. um Just a lot of information, just and in a completely free service and um all this stuff. But I was trying to find the the website and apparently um the the gentleman that created it but named Dan Kamo, is that how I'm saying that? K-C-O-M-E-A-U.
00:41:41
Denis Tyrell
Como.
00:41:42
echo_blades
Como. OK. He passed away and the site had been taken down. So I didn't know that the the gentleman had passed. And I've talked to a couple of people who've used that site before. And I just kind of wanted to share um that the site was down. There was I think a couple of users of the site put together um a, on Reddit, they have like the library of the templates that are still floating around. Um, but the daughter of Dan kind of came on and and thank the gentleman for, for keeping that library going forward. So anyways, I just wanted to, you know, shout out Dan and, uh, unfortunately
00:42:30
echo_blades
you know, he's not with us anymore. And, um, that wonderful site that he had maintained and put together for us, you know, um, is no longer if you guys were searching, I guess it'd been down for like four or five months or something like that. But I thought that was
Community Efforts for Knife Templates
00:42:45
echo_blades
a bummer. Um, and just wanted to shout down at say, or Dan out and say, you know, thanks. Appreciate it. It's good. Good things.
00:42:57
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, I was looking, I was just checking, um, cause I used to, when I first started, I had a couple links to sites that had all these patterns and I'm wondering if it was the same one, but I can't seem to find those links.
00:43:10
echo_blades
Yeah, I couldn't remember it. But, you know, I still had I have a couple of them printed out still. But this is like from the very beginning, though, it was so it's so so cool to see, you know, like, for me anyways, like, what was a bushcraft? What was a hunter? What was a chef? What was it? You know, like, because I had zero idea. So it was a lot of good content, man. It's a shame that it's not not up anymore. But also, it's a shame that he's ah he's passed on. So um
00:43:39
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:43:41
echo_blades
Did want to say that.
00:43:46
Denis Tyrell
um Later, um what else you got? I'm going to cover a few other items. but
00:43:54
echo_blades
I got all kinds of shit. Go.
00:43:59
Denis Tyrell
Um, I'm teaching a course for four days this week, um, which is and also going to put a hold on my Katana build. So I'm trying to get those guys forged out today and tomorrow. I almost got the, uh, the copper one forged. Um, Oh yeah. I haven't mentioned the two Katanas when I talked to the customer.
00:44:22
Denis Tyrell
um One of them is for his daughter, um who's seven, um but it's kind of a gift for her. They're but they're both really into karate and so this is for her and for him, um but he wants to have pink wrap.
00:44:40
Denis Tyrell
And I'm like, hmm, pink wrap with a copper katana is not really going to work. So we're doing that one in silver. So there'll be a silver Damascus and a copper Damascus katana.
00:44:51
Denis Tyrell
So anyway, those are on hold starting Wednesday because I'll be teaching this double Damascus class, um which I'm excited about. I haven't had a Damascus class in a while.
00:45:03
echo_blades
What the hell is a double Damascus class?
00:45:05
Denis Tyrell
He's here for four days he's taking two classes.
00:45:08
echo_blades

00:45:31
echo_blades
I am a Sunday forger. That's when I like to bust out my two bastards fat peen and just get it hot and hit it hard. If you're looking for a fat peen, make sure you go check out Frank Anita over a two bastards hammer and get yourself a fat peen of any style cross straight diagonal. ah They got you covered. Because like I always say, ain't it grand to have a fat pain in your hand?
00:46:03
Denis Tyrell
Very grand.
00:46:04
echo_blades
It is grand. Hopefully you'll you'll. Peen out something over your double Damascus. Just let loose that mean pain boy.
00:46:17
Denis Tyrell

A lot of makers are going to be doing demos. I got a lot of names here. um And
00:52:43
echo_blades
I just wanted to give them a shout out. I think what they're doing is amazing stuff. ah Jeff is a super cool dude, ah really full energy and, you know, um anybody that volunteers and gives a lot of their time for, you know, purposes greater. than I think being of service is, isn't, isn't awesome way to give back, but let alone just just to give in general. So shout out to you, Jeff. Dude, you're it was a pleasure meeting you. And if you guys are in the area and able to make sure you go check out the Warriors Way Expo in a couple of weeks over there in Ohio. So.
00:53:18
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, Jeff's a good dude and it's definitely a yeah a very worthy cause. So go check it out.
00:53:22
echo_blades
Absolutely. Yeah, so. Yeah, and it's going to be sponsored by our amazing, amazing friend, Mr. Lawrence Lake from Maritime Knife Supply. He is got his hands in all kinds of shit and anything that's good that's going on, he's given as just, you know, participating in helping push that stuff forward, too. So shout out to Lawrence, too, for being an awesome dude.
00:53:51
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. Hey, that's a good segue to the Triple T from this week or last week, I guess.
00:53:56
echo_blades
Absolutely, it is.
00:53:58
Denis Tyrell
um the So I did that video on the um Oliver Tobin grinding jig and I thought it would be popular. I didn't realize how popular that was going to be.
00:54:10
Denis Tyrell
um The, just the IG post had like 13, 15,000 views. Uh, the video has, I think it's pushing 10,000 views for a triple T that's a lot. Um, uh, Lawrence put 30 of those grinding jigs on pre-order. Um, they sold out in 24 hours.
00:54:38
Denis Tyrell
So, yeah kudos to to Tobin for just making a great product. um and yeah so Lawrence will be getting more, ah so if you didn't get one in the first drop, um stay tuned. he's going to be ah He's going to be getting some more, but you know it might be ah Might be a little while. Um, I think it's going to take him four weeks just to get the first batch, but it sounds like they're already talking them. They're already arranging the second batch. So, um, so stay tuned. Well, we'll give you an update, uh, when they're back in stock.
00:55:16
echo_blades
Yeah, I thought it was really, really, really cool. um I got one.
00:55:23
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, I will be using it on these Katana's, uh, cause, uh, doing a long.
00:55:24
echo_blades
um
00:55:31
Denis Tyrell
like sword and trying to trying to get a bevel that's the same all the way down is really difficult so having something like that to help you out is like i said in the uh in the video the apocalyptic challenge build would have been A lot, would have taken me a lot longer and probably wouldn't have come out as nice if if I had to do that one entirely by hand.
00:55:57
Denis Tyrell
And yes, this, you know, I got a couple comments that, oh, there's not nothing replaces um free hand grinding. Sure, but tools are tools.
00:56:08
Denis Tyrell
You know, if something makes your life easier, it's going to make your life easier, right?
00:56:09
echo_blades
Right.
00:56:13
Denis Tyrell
um So get one and give it a try. So, uh, I don't have plans for the triple T this week. I think it's actually going to be the video. Um, I think I just, the apocalyptic challenge winners will be my Thursday video. Um, so you guys will see that. Um, but we're going to tell you what they are. Um, shortly. Uh, why don't we do maker spotlights first?
00:56:41
echo_blades
Okay, go ahead, who do you got?
00:56:43
Denis Tyrell
I have AMH Knives. And this is Alan Hollerback. And ah the reason that Alan comes to mind, I got a um an order through Housemade for sharpening attachment, had his name on it. Then he reached out to me um because he's making,
00:57:08
Denis Tyrell
um he He um ordered the the plans for the Santiger X folder and he did a post and he's making that folder, which I think is really cool. ah So I'm anxious to see how he does on that folder and how it works out for him. So um yeah, ah shout out to Alan and go check him out. He has 2,149 followers and he makes some cool stuff. ah He's done a bunch of engraving. i' mean I don't know if he took a class, but some really killer engraving. um So that's really cool. But yeah, in starting to be into knives. If he's into folders, he's ah definitely he's got some knife making under his belt. So looks like he's made some folders in the past as well.
00:58:04
Denis Tyrell

00:58:04
echo_blades
Yeah, a bunch of them.
00:58:05

He hates you. He doesn't hate you, but I should say that's pretty strong. I hate you. Let me just say that. Yeah. ay
01:03:16
Denis Tyrell
um So let's.
01:03:17
echo_blades
Come on, give it to me. Let's go. Who's got, who we got?
01:03:19
Denis Tyrell
All right, let.
01:03:19
echo_blades
What are we doing first? Listeners? We doing, uh, okay.
01:03:21
Denis Tyrell
We're going to do the channels first, so I'll remind people how this works. There's voting from the viewers, which makes up this weighted 50% and the other 50% is weighted by the judges of which I am one.
01:03:38
Denis Tyrell
The judges were. um um Mystic Mountain Forge. Heavy Forge, myself, Harpy and Knives, and oh and Sven at Nord Artisan.
01:03:56
echo_blades
Okay.
01:03:57
Denis Tyrell
Okay, so in third place with, um I'm not gonna tell you the numbers, it won't make any sense, but what what a I thought it was one of my favorite builds, like like actual builds, which is ah the Katana from a Fairway Forge.
01:04:12
echo_blades
Okay. Yes, that was a good one too.
01:04:22
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, he did the the the speaker wire wrap I thought was awesome.
01:04:28
echo_blades
Yeah, eight or two.
01:04:28
Denis Tyrell
um He did a really good job on that Katana and of course Keaton is going to make a Katana because he always makes Katanas, but yeah, really nice.
01:04:31
echo_blades
Yeah.
01:04:39
Denis Tyrell
um In second. um was Tony Saverio because his videos are super entertaining and it's always great to see Bubba and so he got a lot of viewer votes um so that that's that's what helped him a lot he got a lot of your votes and then in first place I'm really pleased with this one
01:04:47
echo_blades
Mm hmm.
01:05:06
Denis Tyrell
Because in first place is someone who has never been in one of our challenges before. This was his first challenge.
01:05:13
echo_blades
Okay.
01:05:14
Denis Tyrell
And Muffin Man Metalworks takes the win.
01:05:18
echo_blades
That is so cool. for yeah Yeah, that's, that's really cool for me.
01:05:22
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
01:05:22
echo_blades
I love that. Congrats, man.
01:05:24
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, so coming out of nowhere and takes first place like by a lot, um by quite a bit. Uh, both in the, um, the judges and the viewer votes, he did very well in both.
01:05:32
echo_blades
Yeah.
01:05:37
echo_blades
That was a great build.
01:05:39
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
01:05:39
echo_blades
It really was.
01:05:40
Denis Tyrell
Really good build.
01:05:41
echo_blades
Yep. So I'll tell a little story here and I am not taking any credit here or anything, but two years ago, I think we, uh, I was, he, he has a table right across from Brent at, at blade show.
01:05:58
echo_blades
And I was walking by and I think Brian, I was talking to him and then Brian walked by and, and, um, and he had said that he wanted to, uh, participate in the challenge.
01:05:58
Denis Tyrell
Okay.
01:06:10
echo_blades
And I was like, Hey, I know a guy. But he he hadn't quite had his ah is you know subscriber things up there. So I know he'd been like wanting to do this for a couple of years. So he finally got in. And to win, I think that's just super special. That's awesome.
01:06:28
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, no, it's I love the the underdogs, the you know, because that's how this started. um So yeah, that was awesome.
01:06:35
echo_blades
Yeah.
01:06:38
Denis Tyrell
um So next, what's that?
01:06:38
echo_blades
Cool, man. And who kicked your ass? Who kicked your ass? That's what I want to know.
01:06:46
Denis Tyrell
um I did not win best judge. um The top judge is Matt at Mystic Mountain Forge.
01:06:56
echo_blades
Awesome. Another good channel.
01:06:57
Denis Tyrell
he got the most votes and he had a great build. That sword he did was really cool.
01:07:01
echo_blades
Yes.
01:07:02
Denis Tyrell
so we did we didn We did have a little weirdness with the judges voting. We were able to figure it out, but one of the guys didn't get the point that only only the channels were allowed to vote for the judges.
01:07:17
Denis Tyrell
So someone sent it out to other friends and said, hey, vote for me as a judge.
01:07:22
echo_blades
Oh shit.
01:07:22
Denis Tyrell
and' like so But luckily, we just eliminated all those votes. You could easily tell when that happened. so um so And it wasn't met.
01:07:31
echo_blades
Gotcha.
01:07:35
Denis Tyrell
It wasn't met.
01:07:35
echo_blades
Okay.
01:07:36
Denis Tyrell
But it was it was all in. It was a mistake. He was an honest mistake and he copped to it. So no no harm, no foul there. um So on to the viewer voting.
01:07:49
Denis Tyrell
So we we had 30,
01:07:49
echo_blades
Is, is there's no first, second and third for the judges.
01:07:55
Denis Tyrell
there's only five judges. So we don't bother doing for a second or third. And in fact, it's it's a dead heat.
01:07:59
echo_blades
I want to know what you took last. No.
01:08:04
Denis Tyrell
between its first and everyone else got two votes.
01:08:09
echo_blades
Okay.
01:08:10
Denis Tyrell
Oh, sorry, to be fair, Sven didn't um do a build because he just had a kid right before the challenge, so he never he never submitted a build, so really it was just the four of us.
01:08:16
echo_blades

01:08:21
echo_blades
