00:04:15
echo_blades
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:04:15
Denis Tyrell
Uh, I thought I lost it. I have not found it for like nine months. And apparently it was in the couch because Parker dropped his phone and then looked under the couch and there it was.
00:04:29
echo_blades
Mm-hmm.
00:04:29
Denis Tyrell
So I'm happy I found this one.
00:04:31
echo_blades
Nice.
00:04:32
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. And I gave it a little, gave it some love today and put a, put a bearing in it and it's working just stellar.
00:04:40
echo_blades
i was going to say, I know. Yeah.
00:04:42
Denis Tyrell
It's good.
00:04:46
Denis Tyrell
But yeah.
00:04:48
echo_blades
Cool.
00:04:48
Denis Tyrell
what's What's new with you, mr Jared?
00:04:51
echo_blades
I have the exact same things going on, except I'm getting ready to jump on a jet plane here in a couple days and fly over to Atlanta, Georgia to go see all my homies in the knife-making community.
00:05:04
echo_blades
Probably spend a bunch of money. I'm really looking forward to getting out of here. I got a lot. ah Well-timed, good stuff. good exit, good break, decompression, try to do it. That's why I'm really trying to be kind to myself about whatever happens, happens.
00:05:25
echo_blades
um And just really going to take in the, the time away and, you know, the, the blade show get down.
00:05:36
echo_blades
So that's all that really is on my mind right now. And it's, I'm well beyond, excited now. A couple weeks ago, it was and it's not close enough, but now it's we'll be on a plane and now we won't be.
00:05:44
Denis Tyrell
good
00:05:53
Denis Tyrell
two days yes
00:05:53
echo_blades
to Yeah, but we still have two days and two hours.
00:06:00
Denis Tyrell
yes
00:06:01
echo_blades
i just I just got the ah the notification. We don't leave until
Challenges with Etching Knives
00:06:05
echo_blades
11.59.
00:06:06
Denis Tyrell
ah
00:06:07
echo_blades
so But yeah, it's here, man. And I'm stoked. I'm fired up. and caught between. So i still i know you didn't because it had it happened to me.
00:06:21
echo_blades
So I know you didn't think twice about it. But um if if it was you, I'm sure you had got your double bifocal set on and dug into some metallurgy and figured something out.
00:06:34
Denis Tyrell
What?
00:06:35
echo_blades
But I am I am still perplexed and absolutely dumbfounded by. What the fuck happened with that etching session we had the other day? i still can't explain. I have a cool, not a cool story because it sucks.
00:06:49
echo_blades
But so everybody, I. In order for me to finish what I wanted to finish. Everything had to go perfect on Saturday.
00:07:01
echo_blades
And it did not go perfect.
00:07:05
Denis Tyrell
Nothing went perfect.
00:07:05
echo_blades
And nothing went perfect. It went furthest farthest from perfect that you can, that we could do. So, um, long story short, I, uh, needed to get some, uh, add some knives, two knives ready to, touch up and then get, get in the edge.
00:07:26
echo_blades
So, um, in order to, for the best chance of success, I headed over to my buddy's house and we did that. And then the very first one,
00:07:41
Denis Tyrell
which is a goma, which is a goma.
00:07:41
echo_blades
etched,
00:07:42
echo_blades
which was a go my. Yeah, it was a go my. um We etched it. And then i don't know. I don't want to get too detailed. The, the, the, the edge didn't take on the carbon.
00:07:57
Denis Tyrell
It was really... so The only way I can explain it, and it's really weird, is that... It looks like there was, and I'm pretty sure it's not, but it looks like there was 220 longitudinal long to know
00:08:11
echo_blades
Yep. Long longitudinal.
00:08:12
Denis Tyrell
scratches.
00:08:15
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, those on the blade. But there wasn't because we would have saw it on the 15 and 20.
00:08:23
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:08:23
Denis Tyrell
But it kind of felt like it like it etched that way, like it had those.
00:08:29
echo_blades
100%. 100% had streaky, deep lines. It wasn't darkening. But the 15 and 20 was smooth, shiny. Like exactly what ah were going for on that portion.
00:08:40
echo_blades
But the high carbon, it was just doing its doing some weird thing. and um And I don't get it. so ironic it just So that happened. And then I did another knife.
00:08:55
echo_blades
And that didn't that was etching funny, too. ah Much better by by all rights. um But it was still getting dark in weird spots.
00:09:03
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:09:06
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:09:08
echo_blades
So I but got really, really pissed off and quit knife making again and then ah got in my car. And out of nowhere, Noah texted me or messaged me. I don't remember. but And he had some some shit happen.
00:09:30
echo_blades
And i was like, oh, that sucks, dude. I'm with youm I'm about to quit knife making. And he's like, what's going on? So it just worked out perfect. So i had about 20 minutes drive home.
00:09:41
echo_blades
ah And so we we hopped on the phone and chatted for a few. I'll be ah some bitch if he didn't tell me that he had almost the exact same thing happen to him recently.
00:09:54
Denis Tyrell
Really?
00:09:54
echo_blades
15 and 20 perfect, smooth, shiny. And the high carbon had those streaky lines and he could not get it to, could not get the edge to take on there.
00:09:59
Denis Tyrell
okay
00:10:06
echo_blades
And he, he, the way he described it, which sounds almost familiar. It's like, it's like this, the, the high carbon steel had some kind of like memory retention of the scratches that used to be there.
00:10:20
echo_blades
Like they just appeared like it, it It's not what happened, but it made sense to me because it 100% has scratches in there. Like you're in the middle of sanding, but they're not, but then they showed up. So what are the chances though, that we both had this similar things happen on edge? Cause that's not unique.
00:10:42
Denis Tyrell
It's really weird. um
00:10:46
echo_blades
And I was saying maybe we had the same steel. Like there was you know something from where we got the steel. But this knife old. I mean, it's there's no chance in hell. it's And I think he had Baker's steel was what was happening on his.
00:10:58
echo_blades
um But this knife is over over a year and a half, two years old almost.
00:11:04
Denis Tyrell
This kind of reminds me of like the issues was, mind you, I was having it with coffee, but...
00:11:08
echo_blades
Right.
00:11:09
Denis Tyrell
Um, the issues I was talking about last week about etching that, like just getting totally different results on three knives that were all sanded exactly the same way and etched in the same batch, like together in the same container and getting totally different results on them.
00:11:29
echo_blades
Container. Yeah.
00:11:33
Denis Tyrell
Um, so I don't, I don't know. There's gremlins in the works here.
00:11:39
echo_blades
Yeah. I think that's, that's what it is, but it was, yeah.
00:11:42
Denis Tyrell
Gremlins in the gears.
00:11:44
echo_blades
What does Koi say? Shop, shop. Is it gremlins or shop goblins or something like that?
00:11:50
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, shop goblins. I think that's what he calls them.
00:11:52
echo_blades
Yeah. um Damn shop goblins. But speaking of Koi, so, If you're looking for some awesome premium pattern welded steel, you should go check out Baker Forged and Teal. Teal.

echo_blades
Oh, weird. Totally just threw me off. i was like, what? Okay, never mind. ah Yeah, but ah so um as a result of my etching deal, I went back and I resanded Intrepid version.

Denis Tyrell
I want to go back to the Gator skin. I used it today.
00:15:11
echo_blades
nice
00:15:12
Denis Tyrell
And um so I'm setting up for the my video, which will launch Thursday, the this Thursday, and doing a bunch of tests. And since it's 24-hour cure time, and yeah, I was right.
00:15:25
echo_blades
You were right. Yeah, you were right. i got I got debunked by both Jordan and Grayson in 10 minutes. so
00:15:33
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. um That it takes 24 hours for that to dry, so I taped a bit of the cure, sorry.
00:15:38
echo_blades
No, Cure takes 20 minutes to dry. that
00:15:43
Denis Tyrell
Yes.
00:15:43
echo_blades
That's what I heard. That's what I thought. And I was wrong.
00:15:46
Denis Tyrell
it
00:15:46
echo_blades
Cure.
00:15:46
Denis Tyrell
It's funny because it does say that on the bottle that it says 20 minutes to dry.
00:15:51
Denis Tyrell
i didn't realize there was like the curing was 24 hours. I guess that makes sense.
00:15:51
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:15:56
echo_blades
Yeah. Yeah.
00:15:57
Denis Tyrell
um But I put it on some blades today. i won't know. it kind of it looks nice and shiny when it goes on, of course, because it's wet. It is supposed to give it and ah nicer, shinier look. So I'm anxious to see what that's going to look like on Damascus.
00:16:12
echo_blades
Yeah. I can't wait to see the you do. What do they call it? Hydrophobic test.
00:16:19
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:16:19
echo_blades
Yep. That's the gorgeous.
00:16:20
Denis Tyrell
yeah
00:16:22
echo_blades
They just did a video right now. I saw a second ago that showed them.
00:16:25
Denis Tyrell
you You basically mean like pouring water over it and watching it sheen? Yeah.
00:16:30
echo_blades
Hydrophobic sounds way cooler.
00:16:32
Denis Tyrell
It sounds like you're afraid of water.
00:16:34
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:16:37
Denis Tyrell
You're hydrophobic.
00:16:37
echo_blades
I just, that's what they call it. That's, that's the effect that they're going for.
Knife Sharpening Challenges
00:16:41
echo_blades
So, um,
00:16:43
Denis Tyrell
i'm doing I'm doing a couple more... I won't say scientific because I'm not that scientific, but
00:16:49
echo_blades
yeah, you can't even figure out how to etch dude.
00:16:49
Denis Tyrell
um
00:16:51
echo_blades
So get out here.
00:16:53
Denis Tyrell
but I'm putting it through its paces. It's not just cosmetic stuff. So yeah i'm I'm really putting this stuff through its paces. I want to see how how it does.
00:17:04
Denis Tyrell
So we're we're going to find out.
00:17:04
echo_blades
Nice.
00:17:06
echo_blades
Cool.
00:17:07
Denis Tyrell
So yeah, I'm anxious to to try that out. I'll be doing that tomorrow. And then um I'll be sharpening. I only have so i have six knives to sharpen. And sharpening is not the dog's nuts.
00:17:23
echo_blades
it's ah It single-handedly the worst thing in the process to me.
00:17:23
Denis Tyrell
but Sharpening sucks.
00:17:29
Denis Tyrell
I mean, I'm using the Tyrell knife for sharpening the perfect blade sharpening attachment, which makes it easier.
00:17:30
echo_blades
It,
00:17:35
echo_blades
What? Come on, dude. Jeez. What is this? a f freaking ad show all day long? God, get over yourself.
00:17:41
Denis Tyrell
ah So I make any, eat no, but for me, I, for some reason that I can stand in front of a grinder grinding for hours, but something about the, you know, using the sharpening attachment because it's like, you're a foot taller and my arms, I guess, are higher when I'm doing it.
00:18:01
Denis Tyrell
It gives me back pain after like half an hour.
00:18:03
echo_blades
Dude, it is not anything that you just said. It's just because you hate it. and And well, that too, I wasn't even going to go there.
00:18:08
Denis Tyrell
Cause I'm old.
00:18:11
echo_blades
I was just saying, it's the simple fact that you would rather be doing something else. Like when you're grinding, you're locked in, you're you're not thinking about standing there and doing that.
00:18:15
Denis Tyrell
Oh,
00:18:20
echo_blades
But as you're sharpening, you're just like, oh my God, I'm standing here. this is that How many more grits? yeah I did see you. i was going to, I don't know if I said it out loud, but I was going to hats off you.
00:18:31
echo_blades
um Having multiple clamps to get, you know, two or three.
00:18:35
Denis Tyrell
I guess.
00:18:36
echo_blades
i only have one and can imagine I was like, that's, that's a, that's a good one.
00:18:37
Denis Tyrell
it's the only do it i
00:18:42
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:18:43
echo_blades
That's a good, that's a good.
00:18:43
Denis Tyrell
because changing belts is what takes forever.
00:18:46
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:18:46
Denis Tyrell
So yeah, I have three clamps, so I need to do six knives. I can kind of do two rounds.
00:18:52

echo_blades
I said all was the joke. Fuck my bad.
00:19:13
Denis Tyrell
shout out to Toby who sent me a couple messages apparently ah the dog's nuts is a saying in Australia at least Australia I don't know about the UK but Australia but they like to rhyme it and call it the mutts nuts so that's apparently the cat's ass and the mutts nuts are good yeah and his his other favorite saying is that being so hungry he could eat the crotch out of a low flying duck
00:19:29
echo_blades
I like that.
00:19:34
echo_blades
Okay. Yeah.
00:19:44
echo_blades
I had not heard that one either.
00:19:45
Denis Tyrell
i That must be an Aussie thing because I don't like duck. ah but I'm not sure a low flyinging flying crotch is the thing to do.
00:19:55
Denis Tyrell
But yeah.
00:19:57
echo_blades
You just obviously haven't been hungry.
00:20:02
echo_blades
ah That's for sure.
00:20:03
Denis Tyrell
oh I even had enough time this week to go out on the jet skis for a day with Parker.
00:20:10
echo_blades
Oh my God.
00:20:11
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:20:13
echo_blades
Jeez. So rough.
00:20:16
Denis Tyrell
But you'll enjoy the the last part of this story. This was kind of a shakedown because i haven't had the jet skis on water in a couple of years.
00:20:26
echo_blades
Hmm.
00:20:26
Denis Tyrell
And, ah well, not at all last year and like once the year before. and So I replaced the plugs. I got new batteries for them. was kind of a little...
00:20:39
Denis Tyrell
timid about them moon you having them out for the first 10 minutes 20 minutes and they were like everything was fine they were like mine was burning a little oil at first but then it was it toned down and uh we were fine and the our usual lunch place was closed so we were way the hell out you know where windmill cove is okay so we went all the way to windmill cove from from rivers end
00:20:58
echo_blades
I know exactly where Windmill Cove is.
00:21:02
echo_blades
From where?
00:21:05
echo_blades
Oh, geez.
00:21:06
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:21:06
echo_blades
I know where both of those are.
00:21:06
Denis Tyrell
So, yeah, is so it was a long trip.
00:21:07
echo_blades
Very, very, very well.
00:21:10
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:21:11
Denis Tyrell
Um, so we were probably on the way back five miles. Yeah, probably five miles from Rivers End and my ski dies.
00:21:26
Denis Tyrell
I don't know. there It's definitely a um ah power related issue. Like there was, it was running absolutely fine. And then within 10 seconds, I got no power.
00:21:38
Denis Tyrell
Like I bit like it's barely turning over.
00:21:38
echo_blades
Oh, wow.
00:21:41
Denis Tyrell
So I figure it's gotta be like an alternator, a stator, whatever they have, they call those things in a jet ski.
00:21:44
echo_blades
Did...
00:21:48
Denis Tyrell
And I think it was running on battery power for like a minute.
00:21:48
echo_blades
Did we get...
00:21:52
echo_blades
Did we get, ah for fuck's sake?
00:21:54
Denis Tyrell
Yes. ah but but
00:21:55
echo_blades
LAUGHTER
00:21:57
Denis Tyrell
Well, we certainly got it for fuck's sake in the, the preceding hour of us getting back to like Parker towing me back to the Marina.
00:22:07
echo_blades
Oh, man.
00:22:07
Denis Tyrell
So, uh, and now we both have sunburns to prove it. So
00:22:12
echo_blades
That's weird. It's weird you guys sunburn.
00:22:16
Denis Tyrell
we're white. What do you want?
00:22:17
echo_blades
Yeah, yeah.
00:22:19
Denis Tyrell
But other than that, I've done, except for sharpening and some laser work done for blade show.
00:22:27
echo_blades
Nice.
00:22:27
Denis Tyrell
And now I got to take the jet skis in, which pisses me off, but yeah,
00:22:31
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:22:32
Denis Tyrell
yeah
00:22:34
echo_blades
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But um yeah, I still don't know what the hell happened.
Complexities in Knife-Making
00:22:38
echo_blades
I don't get it. um Scared the shit out of me. I didn't want to waste any time on that other knife, which is a bummer because that was the one that I ah wanted to bring the most.
00:22:49
Denis Tyrell
The, uh, the, yeah, back to that, the, the go my sand miles, those always scare me as far as etching anyway, because I think they're the hardest things to etch.
00:23:05
Denis Tyrell
Cause you have a lot of, um, open areas like for, for the second one. If, you know it's going to, it's, yeah they're usually going to etch fine.
00:23:16
Denis Tyrell
I mean, cause you can always, um, buff off the oxides and just, you you're usually going to get depth. And if you do coffee with the one, like the second one, which is kind of what I was telling you, like you're going to get enough depth that if you want to do the coffee, you just buff everything and then coffee and and coffee will fill in all the black parts.
00:23:38
echo_blades
Like glu loose, loose will buff?
00:23:42
Denis Tyrell
You know, like with with compound.
00:23:42
echo_blades
No.
00:23:45
Denis Tyrell
Take it all off.
00:23:47
echo_blades
Hmm.
00:23:47
Denis Tyrell
Take all the... ah You never watch my videos, do you? um
00:23:50
echo_blades
I absolutely not.
00:23:53
Denis Tyrell
Take all the oxides off. because you're And then you're buffing the 15 and 20. Because you need the but you want the 15 and 20 to be shiny.
00:24:00
echo_blades
Uh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Shiny. Yeah, yeah.
00:24:03
Denis Tyrell
Because then it won't take up the coffee.
00:24:03
echo_blades
Okay. Gotcha.
00:24:07
Denis Tyrell
But... um But the problem with the go my is sometimes you'll still take up a bit of coffee and you have to take like some 2000 grit, 3000 grit sandpaper afterwards and just go over the high spots.
00:24:07
echo_blades
Gotcha.
00:24:21
Denis Tyrell
You can't do that on a go my or an or sand my because you only got three layers, right?
00:24:21
echo_blades
like
00:24:24
echo_blades
gotcha yeah yeah hmm
00:24:25
Denis Tyrell
It's not like you're riding on the high spots. That's why it's like one of the harder ones to etch with coffee.
00:24:33
Denis Tyrell
But what are you going to do with it? Did you try re-sanding it? You're just not going to do it right now.
00:24:38
echo_blades
I'm not going to right now I mean if something crazy happens and I get an extra day or something maybe but I don't think that's going to happen which is a bummer dude because the handle scales on that I thought yeah the the build was going to be It was going to be awesome, but it is going to be.
00:24:53
Denis Tyrell
Which one has the the copper? um
00:24:56
echo_blades
That's the one I'm finishing. That's the the tank, the German tank barrel.
00:24:58
Denis Tyrell
Okay, good.
00:24:59
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:24:59
Denis Tyrell

00:25:01
echo_blades

00:25:03
Denis Tyrell

00:25:06

Denis Tyrell
Have you decided if you're bringing golf clubs or not?
00:39:16
echo_blades
no, I'm not bringing golf clubs because we just were trying to ah book a tee time. And apparently the, there's a lot of golf courses in Charlotte area, but the ones that we were looking at, they, there was no tee times available to like the afternoon.
00:39:28

Denis Tyrell
<unk>t
00:42:53
echo_blades

echo_blades
My shop is your shop. Your shop is my house. This is the way it goes, buddy.

I could just prep something for you, but...
00:43:05
echo_blades
No, I have everything that we need.
00:43:07
Denis Tyrell
Oh, all right. You're doing leather stuff? Is
Etching and Sanding Techniques
00:43:10
Denis Tyrell
it it to sheath?
00:43:10
echo_blades
Yeah, that's it. Yep.
00:43:11
Denis Tyrell
I knew it.
00:43:12
echo_blades
Yep. That is it.
00:43:14
Denis Tyrell
All right.
00:43:15
Denis Tyrell
I have...
00:43:15
echo_blades
Yeah, because I'm going to, I got to go back out and and after we get off of here um and get that.
00:43:25
echo_blades
Yeah, I don't know.
00:43:27
Denis Tyrell
You got to put some handles on that thing, but you're to let it sit overnight first.
00:43:30
echo_blades
Yeah, but the handles are done. Everything's done. I just got to sandblast them and then.
00:43:33
Denis Tyrell
Oh, the handles are fastened, right?
00:43:35
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:43:36
Denis Tyrell
Clamped on.
00:43:36
echo_blades
Yep.
00:43:37
Denis Tyrell
You're still going to epoxy them on, right?
00:43:38
echo_blades
I got to do just yep.
00:43:39
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:43:40
echo_blades
So, but I got to get them all blasted up and then I'll do a little doodad put together. um Sharpen. Maybe.
00:43:52
Denis Tyrell
maybe
00:43:53
echo_blades
Maybe there, maybe there. i don't know. We'll see. I don't know. um Like I said, I'm not, I'm not tripping. really bummed about the, the, the go my though. That was
00:44:01
Denis Tyrell
I think you should, like I said, sand it um with like some 800 and get all of those like etching scratches out and hopefully it'll still leave the line between the layers.
00:44:19
Denis Tyrell
And I think you...
00:44:19
echo_blades
It's a glue up, though, so that's got to etch it.
00:44:23
echo_blades
Right? Yeah, yeah.
00:44:25
Denis Tyrell
What do you mean it's glue up?
00:44:25
echo_blades
Mm-hmm.
00:44:27
Denis Tyrell
What does that mean?
00:44:28
echo_blades
ah gotta etc it
00:44:30
Denis Tyrell
No, but that's what I'm saying.
00:44:30
echo_blades
right
00:44:31
Denis Tyrell
Don't. If it's not going to etch properly, not the not the one you just did, the GOMI, right?
00:44:37
echo_blades
yeah yeah
00:44:39
Denis Tyrell
If it's not going to etch properly, what I'm suggesting is you sand it almost clean to where you only see the lines between the layers. Leave it like that.
00:44:50
echo_blades
It is like that now.
00:44:52
Denis Tyrell
You sand it clean. I would leave it like that. If it's not going to etch properly,
00:44:57
echo_blades
It looks, it, it, ah, yeah. Like you were saying, my camera's a little fucked, but, um, I'll send you a picture after we get out of this. I'm, I almost pulled the trigger last night and glued up because it's different.
00:45:14
echo_blades
It looks a little not dirty, but like, uh, I don't know, rustic or cause it's, it does, it looks, it it's either going to be, it's either going to come off like, wow, that's really cool. Jared. you I like that look. Or it's going like this lazy motherfucker just didn't, but I didn't give a shit about this.
00:45:32
echo_blades
ah so that's kind of where I haven't been able to make the, ah make the decision on what to do. Cause I was very close to, to doing that last night and gluing it up. Cause then I would only, would have just had to finish the handle and I would have been done.
00:45:45
echo_blades
But,
00:45:45
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, because there's, you know, there's a point where you just need to cut your losses, right? Are you at that point?
00:45:50
echo_blades
Yeah. No, because i I believe that it's worth um resanding and giving it another spin and not cutting the loss.
00:46:01
echo_blades
And hopefully something happens. I'm just kind of banking on the fact that maybe I cut a corner, um taking it only to 800 wasn't the right move. And, you know, I don't know.
00:46:14
echo_blades
I just...
00:46:15
Denis Tyrell
Hmm.
00:46:16
echo_blades
Too many unknowns and I don't want to just rush it and put shit out. That's not the kind of, kind of thing I want to just put out there to try to, to sell. Cause yeah, it's not, it's not, not my deal, but it is a bummer though, because had it all came out the way that I envisioned, it was, it was going to be nice, but it still will be nice.
00:46:27
Denis Tyrell
I agree. I agree.
00:46:40
echo_blades
Just not in Atlanta.
00:46:42
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:46:43
echo_blades
So,
00:46:44
Denis Tyrell
all right well get the other one done
00:46:46
echo_blades
Yep, that one's done. I got that, and I got another one that is all ready to go.
00:46:51
Denis Tyrell
cool all right wait which one are you doing which one was that sheath for was that for the go oh good it was for the okay good all right
00:46:53
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:46:56
echo_blades
That's for this one? No, that's for the... i Good, it was for the right one, yeah. Because, yeah. um But the the other Intrepid that I did Heavy, if I can sneak one of the sheath out for that, that would be fantastic.
00:47:15
echo_blades
Um, but anyways, that's it.
00:47:19
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:47:19
echo_blades
That's all we're bringing to.
00:47:21
Denis Tyrell
Well, I had that. Remember I told you i had that little learning. I had one little spot on one of the um
00:47:35
Denis Tyrell
Kumai folders. I told you that just had a little silver, like like the coffee didn't take in one one little spot.
00:47:40
echo_blades
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. yeah and When you were like coughing this weekend too.
00:47:45
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. And well, And I told Jared, what I figured, I figured I'd be really smart. And I'd be like, there's just one little spot. It was like, or maybe two little spots. I probably could have left it and it would have been fine for, you know, most people wouldn't have saw it, but I, it was annoying me.
00:48:04
Denis Tyrell
So I thought, yeah, exactly.
00:48:04
echo_blades
You don't want to be that guy I get it.
00:48:06
Denis Tyrell
So I thought, well, I'll just take a Q-tip with some ferric and I'll just touch those two spots. They'll turn black. Everything will be fine.
00:48:18
Denis Tyrell
ah Yeah, that doesn't work because it was exactly.
00:48:20
echo_blades
You might as well use a Sharpie. Oh,
00:48:26
Denis Tyrell
It took off the coffee in those areas.
00:48:29
echo_blades
that sucks.
00:48:30
Denis Tyrell
And it was like, now there's like a big splotch and it was like, okay, this looks like, you know,
00:48:36
echo_blades
A hack job.
00:48:37
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. Like the dog's ass, not the dog's balls or the dog's nuts.
00:48:40
echo_blades
Oh, yeah. Short proximity from from cool to not cool. Yeah.
00:48:46
Denis Tyrell
Exactly.
00:48:47
echo_blades
yeah
00:48:47
Denis Tyrell
Uh, so I sanded it off. Um, put it in, um, sanded it clean with, uh, 400.
00:48:59
Denis Tyrell
Then just touch the surfaces of the 15 and 20 in case I hit it with that 400 and,
00:49:06
Denis Tyrell
dipped it in ferric for 15 seconds then went back in the coffee and it came out black like beautiful exactly what i wanted so i was happy and now i'm not fucking touching them again except to sharpen them um yeah yeah
00:49:13
echo_blades
nice
00:49:25
echo_blades
cool you got some good shit man you guys make sure you go check out the table uh dennis he definitely uh has some really cool stuff for y'all to look at and If you're interested to purchase, just Dennis doesn't know this either, but there is a small percentage of all Dennis's knives that are sold that go to Echo Blade. So, you know, fun to fun to fun to struggling, starving maker.
00:49:55
Denis Tyrell
a
00:49:56
echo_blades
and But seriously, though, that is some really cool stuff. And and being retired really helped you.
00:50:02
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. And it was a different focus this year for me. It was, yeah, i wanted to have, definitely having fewer knives on the table this year.
00:50:09
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:50:11
Denis Tyrell
So going for more.
00:50:13
echo_blades
Yeah. I think, you know, ah I always tease you about, like ah you know, getting a lot of stuff and the, you know, the benefits of the YouTube channel and shit.
00:50:14
Denis Tyrell
i
00:50:22
echo_blades
But like, yeah, the sun shines on, Terrell knife works a lot. Cause he's probably one of the only people that I know that that's already sold a banger before he even
Spotlights on Knife Makers
00:50:36
echo_blades
leaves. Yeah.
00:50:38
Denis Tyrell
That's right. The, uh, the gold knife is sold to the same guy who actually David, who supplied the gold for that piece in the first place, which is he supplied the, uh, he fronted the money for the gold on the original gold knife.
00:50:50
echo_blades
Nice.
00:50:55
Denis Tyrell
And this is an off cut from that knife.
00:50:57
echo_blades

Denis Tyrell
And, uh, he reached out to me and he said he wanted to purchase that folder.
00:51:01
echo_blades
Nice.
00:51:01
Denis Tyrell
um And I was hoping I was actually going to reach out to him and offer it to him first anyway.
00:51:05
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:51:06
Denis Tyrell
So he did purchase that. So it'll be there, but on display only.
00:51:10
