echo_blades
Let's have a moment of silence for all of the Toronto Blue Jays fans out there.
00:00:22
Denis Tyrell
I knew you were going start like this.
00:00:24
echo_blades
just Let's just take a moment and have just a nice quick moment of silence for this small chronic break. What's up, everybody? This is Jared from Echo Blades, and you are listening to the Triple T Podcast for Knife Makers. As always, I have my co-host, Mr. Dennis Terrell from Terrell Knife Works.
00:00:44
echo_blades
And we are here to entertain you kind of for the next hour or so. And I sure hope you stick around because ah we have nothing to talk about and all kinds of shit to say.
00:00:55
Denis Tyrell
ah
00:00:56
echo_blades
So let's get into it. Dennis, how in the hell are you?
00:01:01
Denis Tyrell
I'm good.
00:01:02
echo_blades
So good.
00:01:03
Denis Tyrell
I did watch most of the game, by the way, the game seven. mean, I'm most I watched. I shouldn't say um maybe I watched a third of it.
00:01:13
echo_blades
The end or the beginning?
Critique of Canadian Sports Fans
00:01:15
Denis Tyrell
The middle.
00:01:17
echo_blades
Oh, I don't know how you could have turned it off.
00:01:19
Denis Tyrell
I saw it up to the ninth inning and then I was like, screw this. I'm going to bed. Yeah.
00:01:25
echo_blades
You're like my my wife. She walked away at the ninth inning. And I just want to say, like, the game of baseball. If that was one of the best games that I have seen in a long time.
00:01:33
Denis Tyrell
Is this the most boring game in the world?
00:01:40
echo_blades
I did not watch much baseball this year because i'm a little salty over my Oakland A's. Oakland A's. And I just, you know, kind of let, let the season go. Didn't have much interest in it.
00:01:52
echo_blades
ah But man, the the series was good in general, but this last game was, ah it it is why I love baseball. It is why I love the game. It's why I've been a fan my entire life, but that was some good stuff.
00:02:08
echo_blades
And I mean, and honestly, I didn't really give a shit either way, except ah ah towards the end,
00:02:14
Denis Tyrell
to break my balls if Toronto lost. Is it?
00:02:16
echo_blades
Yeah, not really, because it doesn't really matter to you. But there's there's a handful of people that I really realize this and I'm probably going to catch a lot of shit, but I think Canadians are horrible sports fans.
00:02:29
echo_blades
So just absolute, just absolute the worst fans ever.
00:02:30
Denis Tyrell
oh Jesus Christ.
00:02:34
echo_blades
You guys are just the fucking the biggest fans when you're in it.
00:02:35
Denis Tyrell
yeah
00:02:38
echo_blades
And then it's crickets don't hear a goddamn thing about it. But i think that about most teams that aren't mine. So I wouldn't get too offended.
00:02:45
Denis Tyrell
Well, so what? it's So what sports is specifically referring to? Like a basketball and baseball, which is the only sports we share?
00:02:50
echo_blades
yeah Yeah. Basketball. I mean, we they we do compete in hockey every now and again.
00:02:55
Denis Tyrell
Major sports.
00:02:56
echo_blades
Yeah. But yeah, though, there's some... ah It wasn't really the the fans, I guess, but there was this ah moment in the game where the one of the Blue Jays got hit and the guy so acted like a little bitch and the bench cleared the bench is cleared.
00:03:11
Denis Tyrell
Is that when you get hit in the arm, like the elbow or something?
00:03:13
echo_blades
Yeah. i mean, it was so bad. And then all I could just see all the fans. ride I was like, oh my God, you guys fighting for...
00:03:18
Denis Tyrell
ah They were just cheering because guy he got a walk.
00:03:20
echo_blades
you've you go You guys fighting for real in hockey. like get Get over it. but
00:03:26
Denis Tyrell
it
00:03:26
echo_blades
man no Seriously, but all all jokes aside, i I don't think you're the worst fans in the world. I just think the Giants fans are. but For the San Francisco Giants, those are the worst fans.
00:03:35
Denis Tyrell
i Was it New York?
00:03:36
echo_blades
yeah and um but yeah That was a and just a fantastic game, and I really enjoyed
00:03:42
Denis Tyrell
it It was close. If that that one out when the guy was running at home, that was they had to replay that thing like four times in order to figure it.
00:03:53
echo_blades
It was a no-brainer. It was a no-brainer.
00:03:55
Denis Tyrell
It was within it like an inch.
00:03:55
echo_blades
They just...
00:03:58
Denis Tyrell
It was close.
00:03:59
echo_blades
Yeah. It was a good play, though. A lot good defense back and forth. But, yeah. It was a good game. I really enjoyed it. I actually posted something about it on Facebook. And I don't post much there or anywhere anymore. But it was good.
00:04:16
echo_blades
I really
Workshop Updates and Knife Making
00:04:17
echo_blades
enjoyed it. so
00:04:17
Denis Tyrell
Alright, let's never talk about it again.
00:04:18
echo_blades
Sorry. I know. i mean, I'm still salty about the Warriors, the Toronto, the Raptors. beating the Broken Warriors, you know, a few years back. So, but anyways, that was good. That was good. And, um, yeah, how are you?
00:04:37
Denis Tyrell
I'm good. I've been busy in the shop.
00:04:38
echo_blades
That's exciting. Thanks.
00:04:40
Denis Tyrell
um
00:04:40
echo_blades
Okay.
00:04:41
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, you know, nothing much shop time. i got some other things to i'll chat about. but
00:04:48
echo_blades
Okay. You're drinking a White Claw.
00:04:50
Denis Tyrell
I'm drinking a White Claw because my daughter left them in the fridge and I'm drinking them on her.
00:04:52
echo_blades
That's real manly. yeah Okay, that makes sense. all right, right. I'll give you a pass, because if you bought those things, I'm...
00:04:59
Denis Tyrell
Actually, i do like these.
00:05:01
echo_blades
Ah!
00:05:02
Denis Tyrell
I like these. i actually like these more than any other of the seltzers.
00:05:09
echo_blades
Oh, that's funny.
00:05:11
Denis Tyrell
You make fun of me. don't give a shit.
00:05:13
echo_blades
i do You know what? I'm sitting here thinking about how ironic it is. I've never had one. stopped drinking before them.
00:05:18
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, you shut up.
00:05:20
echo_blades
i like I think Zemos were the thing. You know, those were about as as much.
00:05:25
Denis Tyrell
I think knowing that you like like all that sparkly water stuff, that that you would actually like, not that you can have one, but you would actually like these.
00:05:33
echo_blades
This is a good possibility. so Plus, I like all things that are you know not masculine. So
00:05:39
Denis Tyrell
That's true.
00:05:40
echo_blades
so I do take it back, but. I really don't have opinion nor care. So, but yeah, but well, that's exciting. Thanks for telling me nothing about what you did.
00:05:51
Denis Tyrell
so
00:05:52
echo_blades
This is great. i You know, I'm just saying I, this is, this is those good segues that you do for me.
00:05:53
Denis Tyrell
Oh, you want to know my whole week? Is that it? Are we are we out there? My...
00:05:58
echo_blades
So i got nothing to talk about. What's up, Dennis?
00:06:02
Denis Tyrell
My whole shop smells like 10,000-year-old mammoth. um
00:06:08
echo_blades
Gross.
00:06:09
Denis Tyrell
ah It is gross, yes. it's My shop smells like a combination of burnt hair and petrified dog shit. Yeah.
00:06:18
echo_blades
Hmm. Like side hole dog shit? Like the one that busted it out?
00:06:21
Denis Tyrell
yeah i've been grinding mammoth molar handle for like three days so uh but i'm finally done so fingers crossed so far it is a success so i'm happy about that
00:06:35
echo_blades
And why are you doing it again? Sorry. Uh-huh.
00:06:37
Denis Tyrell
um so the knife i'm doing that gradient feather knife
00:06:42
echo_blades
um
00:06:43
Denis Tyrell
I decided that I was going to just make my life hell and finally use that big block of mammoth molar. And not ivory, mammoth molar, and try to shape it and do all that shit.
00:07:01
Denis Tyrell
You've never used mammoth, have you?
00:07:03
echo_blades
No.
00:07:04
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, it's a fucking pain in the ass.
00:07:06
echo_blades
I dare say I think I've said this before, but I like the way that it finishes.
00:07:19
Denis Tyrell
Me too.
00:07:20
echo_blades
But it.
00:07:21
Denis Tyrell
Oh, no, i sorry. I like when it's finished.
00:07:23
echo_blades
Yes, that's what I'm saying. Not finishing, but no.
00:07:25
Denis Tyrell
Not the way it finishes, because that's a pain in the ass.
00:07:28
echo_blades
Yeah. I like the way it looks and that I've seen some really, really nice pieces, like get super classed up with, with it on. Um, but I don't ever go, Ooh, when I see it, it's expensive.
00:07:43
echo_blades
it looks ah weird. You know, I, I don't know. It's just not, not my cup of tea. So I have not used it yet, but by no fault of I'm probably cheap and probably will never buy it.
00:07:54
echo_blades
So.
00:07:55
Denis Tyrell
I mean, I'm i'm i'm ah definitely a bigger fan of the ivory, um but the molar, well, the the ivory is the tusk.
00:07:59
echo_blades
And I don't know the difference.
00:08:03
Denis Tyrell
Okay, and it's actually, so it's it's ivory, it's softer, it's easy to drill, it's easy to work, it's easy to sand.
00:08:04
echo_blades
Okay.
00:08:10
echo_blades
And the molar's a tooth, I take it?
00:08:11
Denis Tyrell
Molar is the enamel in the tooth.
00:08:14
echo_blades
Oh.
00:08:15
Denis Tyrell
So the problem with when you grind that stuff is the white streaks in it is actually enamel, like tooth enamel, like you're grinding teeth.
00:08:26
Denis Tyrell
It's really fucking hard to grind.
00:08:29
echo_blades
Hmm.
00:08:29
Denis Tyrell
But then the stuff in the middle, like the darker or the colored stuff between the white, is like filler, resin, epoxy, you know, petrified, whatever.
00:08:42
Denis Tyrell
And that stuff grinds really easy. So if you're if you're doing like a small wheel or something like that and you're on the enamel and then you just move across and you hit the part between the the white, then all of a sudden it grinds really fast.
00:08:58
Denis Tyrell
So you have to kind of be not really fast, but faster. And it stinks and it's just it's a whole deal. Drilling it, ah drilling the hole in it to begin with was ah an ordeal.
00:09:12
Denis Tyrell
That took me the better part of an hour to, more than that, probably an hour and a half to drill that hole, like, correctly.
00:09:21
echo_blades
yeah Okay. Come again. What? An hour to drill a hole.
00:09:25
Denis Tyrell
It's a
00:09:27
Denis Tyrell
It's a hidden, like the slot, because it's a hidden tang, right?
00:09:30
echo_blades
oh okay.
00:09:31
Denis Tyrell
So I'm drilling the slot in the block.
00:09:31
echo_blades
All right. That makes sense. Okay. All right. That makes sense.
00:09:35
Denis Tyrell
that That took me, yeah, probably an hour, hour and a half to do the slot in the handle.
00:09:41
echo_blades
Oh, it sounds thrilling. Yeah.
00:09:42
Denis Tyrell
Oh, it was it's so much fun. So that was actually spent, I was in the shop both days this weekend, because, you know, I didn't see Jared, because he doesn't do anything knife related anymore. Yeah.
00:09:55
echo_blades
i did not do a fucking thing this week okay go ahead finish your story
00:09:57
Denis Tyrell
Oh, no, I have a note down here to bust your balls on this for sure. um
00:10:05
Denis Tyrell
So, yeah, I was in the shop and doing handle stuff and all day today and probably probably all day tomorrow to finish to try to finish it. So it's a lot of work, that shit.
00:10:17
Denis Tyrell
But hopefully it comes. I want it to come out like that. Shiny, shiny, high polish, high gloss finish. Like like a polished stone is what I want to come out as.
00:10:17
echo_blades
yeah
00:10:33
Denis Tyrell
Why are you leaning your head?
00:10:37
echo_blades
seeing if you can see the shirtless wonder behind me.
00:10:40
Denis Tyrell
Oh. I can see it, yes.
00:10:44
echo_blades
Okay.
00:10:47
Denis Tyrell
Hi, Jared.
00:10:49
echo_blades
You can't hear you, but Dennis said, hello, Jared.
00:10:50
Denis Tyrell
oh Of course you can.
00:10:54
echo_blades
Put a shirt on.
00:10:58
Denis Tyrell
Oh, but yeah, that's kind of been my, but I'm actually, I'm still really happy with this knife.
00:10:59
echo_blades
Okay.
00:11:03
Denis Tyrell
I still think it's a, it's on the contender list to go in my Master Smith set. If all goes well, at least it's going to be one that I want to show and get like feedback on.
00:11:19
echo_blades
All
00:11:20
Denis Tyrell
whether it um Whether it becomes one of, you know, it's unlikely it'll become one of my MasterSmith set knives, but I actually put, I'm putting in that much effort on this one.
00:11:32
echo_blades
right.
00:11:32
Denis Tyrell
So I'm looking forward to it.
00:11:35
echo_blades
I can't wait to see it.
00:11:37
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. ah Won't be this weekend. Maybe mid next week I'll probably have it done. Because got to do the handle, I got some inlay, I'm going to do some silver inlay.
Knife Making Supplies and Projects
00:11:51
Denis Tyrell
i still have a pommel and a pommel nut to do. oh and since I have some Damascus a long cylindrical form, have something for your little project.
00:12:04
echo_blades
Oh, nice.
00:12:05
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:12:05
echo_blades
but just I just thought about that too when you said pommel.
00:12:10
echo_blades
And you know what else I thought about when you said Damascus?
00:12:12
Denis Tyrell
What? Yes. What did you think?
00:12:16
echo_blades
I thought about maritime knife supply.
00:12:18
Denis Tyrell
Oh, I know that place.
00:12:19
echo_blades
Yeah. Our buddy, yeah. Our buddy Lawrence Lake over at maritime knife supply maker and keeper of all knife maker materials. Uh, he has it all. And if you're looking for some knife making materials, then I highly suggest you go check him out at a maritime knife supply.com or.ca dot ca or dot Something like that. Uh, but he just got a huge drop. Like, uh,
00:12:46
echo_blades
3,200 pounds of steel for all of your knife making needs. Unfortunately, that is not available for the U.S., but there are plenty of sad Canucks that will be benefiting from that big restock there.
00:13:04
Denis Tyrell
but none None of it was CPM steel?
00:13:07
echo_blades
I don't know. it was I saw ABL, Nitro-V, but there's still some CPM and stuff for the Americans.
00:13:10
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:13:14
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, because CPM steel we can buy from Maritimes.
00:13:16
echo_blades
Yeah, it just a lot of it's not made there, but he is working on some stuff to potentially fix that. But ah whatever you need, abrasives, material, knife making, knife handle material, tools, ah machines, ovens, you know, like it's everything.
00:13:34
echo_blades
Go go check them out. Load the card up. Tell them the boys at Triple T said what's up. And yeah, support one of the coolest dudes in our industry.
00:13:43
Denis Tyrell
I have two orders coming from Maritime. A bunch powdered steel for a project and my scales from grip tech uh uh my two sets of scales of grip tech uh if you want to get your own sets of scales from grip tech go check out grip tech composites it's grip tech official on ig they are the makers of don't be shaking your head
00:13:56
echo_blades
Nice.
00:14:14
echo_blades
I didn't say, i didn't, I mean, I'm just, you know, I said, yeah.
00:14:18
Denis Tyrell
Always messing with my add-reads. They're the makers of Grip-X, which is an amazing handle material, very grippy. They also have Grip-X 3D, which has the 3D printed molds that he pours the resin in and makes it look really cool.
00:14:35
Denis Tyrell
And of course the limitless color um for higher finishes. So go check them out. ah Use the discount code TTT10. think I got a set of gray and a set of blue.
00:14:48
Denis Tyrell
So they'll become segmented scales for for something or other.
00:14:48
echo_blades
Nice.
00:14:54
echo_blades
Nice.
00:14:55
Denis Tyrell
I think some chef knives. I have some chef knife blanks, um water jet blanks on order actually from KnifePrint. So I want to make a bunch of those before the holidays.
00:15:07
echo_blades
Very cool.
00:15:08
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. What about you? You making any knives?
00:15:11
echo_blades
I didn't this week. Nope. I didn't do anything.
00:15:13
Denis Tyrell
Hmm.
00:15:15
echo_blades
I, uh, Yeah, no, ah my plans were were foiled with other things, but I'm good. I feel great. i'm ah The time switched on us now.
00:15:27
echo_blades
We we went back. So in my weird brain, that's going put the sun down at a time that I like to go out in the shop and not have my feet burn from the sun blazing into my stuff.
00:15:42
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, I liked it as soon as the time changed, it felt normal again.
00:15:47
echo_blades
Yeah. I hate it for many reasons, but for, uh, for shop time, it's, it is a definite booster of things.
00:15:54
Denis Tyrell
you You hate it, what, the daily savings time or the time change?
00:15:56
echo_blades
The time change. Yeah. Daylight saving times. Yeah. And the time, the time change doesn't bother me. you know, it's just, there's less light. So less golf, less, you know, cool stuff to do outside, but it does lean itself lend itself to a lot more shop time. So looking forward to this this winter here.
Parker's Navy Journey
00:16:18
echo_blades
And yeah, that's cool.
00:16:20
Denis Tyrell
Nice. Yeah. um Yeah, it didn't mess me up at all. I was quite happy. I was getting sick of it being still dark at like seven o'clock.
00:16:31
echo_blades
Still dark or still light?
00:16:31
Denis Tyrell
like dark-ish before. i like it a little.
00:16:34
echo_blades
Oh, yeah.
00:16:36
Denis Tyrell
Because it was throwing... was starting to sleep in more because it was getting darker in the morning until the time changed.
00:16:42
echo_blades
Hmm.
00:16:42
Denis Tyrell
And now I'm back to getting up at 6.30 or 7.

Denis Tyrell
He was at his MEPS, which is, i don't know, military, something physical. Anyway, he had to go and take his physical and, you know, um take his ASVAB, which is like the big standardized test they give everybody, so that he could pick his job and sign his contract, which he did on Friday.

Denis Tyrell

00:17:52
echo_blades
Wow.

Denis Tyrell
Um, it's just the, the, what he's going in at, um, there's a lot of a school. So that's why it's a six, uh, a schools like his training.

Yes, I am very proud. And he's excited and you know, get his life started and see where he ends up. And AECF is like, there's a bunch of positions that he can run. He could run like a missile system. He could be...

Denis Tyrell
um
00:18:52
echo_blades
That's scary, but yeah.
00:18:56
Denis Tyrell
He's going from knives to missile systems.
00:18:58
echo_blades
Jesus.
00:19:01
Denis Tyrell
But like the electronics, like he could like ah he could be a fire control man, which is like the guy in charge of like shooting things down. um
00:19:09
echo_blades
Nice.
00:19:10
Denis Tyrell
You know, anti-aircraft missiles, that kind of shit.

It's exciting stuff, yeah.
00:19:22
echo_blades
Oh.

00:19:28
echo_blades
Nice.
00:19:29
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. So be more money for him. It's kind of what it boils down to.
00:19:33
echo_blades
Very cool.
00:19:35
Denis Tyrell
But that's good.
00:19:35
echo_blades
All right.

00:20:26
echo_blades
Heard it's lovely that time of year. Okay.
00:20:29
Denis Tyrell
His A school is probably going to be like, I'm guessing three to six months. So he's going to be probably into the summer almost in Chicago as well.
00:20:39
echo_blades
Nice.
00:20:41
Denis Tyrell
Which is, he's going to go from freezing cold to like hot and humid.
00:20:46
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:20:47
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:20:49
Denis Tyrell
So, and then then we'll figure out where he gets stationed.
00:20:49
echo_blades
Wow.
00:20:53
Denis Tyrell
If
Golf Experiences and Competitions
00:20:54
Denis Tyrell
it's going to be in the US, if it's going to be, who knows? Germany, Japan, could be anywhere.
00:21:02
echo_blades
be cool if he was in Japan.
00:21:03
Denis Tyrell
That's where he wants. That's the one he wants, is Japan.
00:21:05
echo_blades
Yeah. Yeah. That'd be cool.
00:21:08
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, apparently it's a hard one to get, so we'll see.
00:21:11
echo_blades
All right.
00:21:11
Denis Tyrell
And we'll see what he ends up with because he might, um depends what what his actual job is because itll it will define if he's at a base or if he's on a ship.
00:21:24
Denis Tyrell
So we don't know yet, depending on the type of job he gets.
00:21:25
echo_blades
Gotcha.
00:21:29
Denis Tyrell
But yeah. And I actually, now his older brother Logan is now back living here. And he has now taken over as my helper in the shop. So slowly training that kid up to work in the shop. And he's been making mag checks so far.
00:21:51
Denis Tyrell
And so, yeah.
00:21:51
echo_blades
Man, that's really cool. yeah Here I am gearing up to bust your balls, but I am extremely happy for you. yeah This is a good day. This is a good day. Good time. I love that you know you had that time with Parker, and he's he's moving on to an amazing opportunity and signing up for for service. And then, you know, ah just no gaps, too. Now you get to spend some time with the with the older kid. and
00:22:18
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:22:19
echo_blades
That's really cool, man. I'm happy for you.
00:22:21
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. So.
00:22:22
echo_blades
That is one of the reasons why I'm golfing as much as I am because Jared's willing to hang out with me. so It won't be here forever, so I'm going to capitalize on that.
00:22:37
echo_blades
and Speaking of golf, what would a Triple tv be without ah
00:22:40
Denis Tyrell
It's like, can we get through an episode without golf? No.
00:22:44
echo_blades
T be like without Jared talking about golf? because that's That's what's happening right now. Yeah. So this weekend I had our our club championship and I was gearing up to, ah to, to make a run for it. And I shit the bed.
00:23:03
echo_blades
Not horrible, but then out of nowhere, Mr. Jeff, the sandbagging his ass sandbagger in all of golf is with a 25 handicap, comes in and shoots an 86, which is, I have not, I've yet to shoot an 86. 87 is my my best score.
00:23:24
echo_blades
Shoots an 86 for a 61 and ends up winning the whole thing. So he's the club champ. Wins. Yes.
00:23:36
echo_blades
A hundred percent. And the worst part about it is i you know, cause yeah I don't even know how to, how to get into this lately. Jeff's been reminding me about what a a horrible person I was when we were younger. Right. and you know, finally today I had to tell him, I was like, you know, i think you're probably holding me a little accountable for some shit that happened like, you know, a long time ago. Like I've done a lot of work to try to be a better person, not a good person, but a better person. Right.
00:24:07
echo_blades
And started laughing about that. And so I want to talk shit, but, know, I'm happy for him. You know, it's good. That's one of the good things about golf is you're kind of competing against others, but you really want everybody to to do well.
00:24:20
echo_blades
And um but ah so I text him this morning. I mean, congrats, dude. I'm happy that you. I'm really proud that you, you know, you got this done. And he goes, yeah, man, I appreciate it. And he says, thanks. And then he goes, yeah, man, thanks.
00:24:34
echo_blades
Because that fool was so blind. that I actually had to watch his ball every time he hit it and tell it, tell him like where it landed pretty much. So and the the moral of this story is that fool owes me a cut of the winnings because ah little did I know he was shooting the round of his life, you know, ah to win the championship.
00:24:55
Denis Tyrell
did Was he not telling, were you not, were were you not keeping track of his score during the game?
00:24:56
echo_blades
But I, I,
00:25:02
echo_blades
No, I never. i don't even barely keep track of mine because it's it's such a mental thing, dude. like yeah That's why I respect the fact that you were you don't keep score. Cause very quickly um it happened to me on, on Sunday. I went, I shot a a pretty decent 88, but I started looking at my thing around hole 16 and i was like, Oh my God, I'm like, I could really like really do some, some awesome shit here. And then I triple a hole and double a hole and put one of the water and, you know, and I just, you know, those couple of strokes took me out of my one, you know, one of my better, my best score. But at any rate, ah just thought it was hilarious that he had to remind me that, you know, I had to,
00:25:39
echo_blades
fucking watch his ball for him. So, and then, uh, though, the other thing was I was talking about last week was Jared signed up for the club championship at our club. And, uh, he, uh,
00:25:55
echo_blades
I think nerves more than anything, which I completely relate to. um so he had a couple of bad holes and, um, didn't shoot that good on a Saturday. And then on Sunday, again, i was there to watch him tee off and he, he shanked one and, you know, just trying to text him to without trying to get all up in his business.
00:26:05
Denis Tyrell
Thank you.

00:26:23
echo_blades
Super proud of him, uh, just for trying and getting out there and golfing with kids that have been at it for, um, I don't know if longer, but they're, uh, they, they play a lot more than him. So, um, yeah, all in all, it was a decent, decent weekend and that.

00:26:49
echo_blades
And that's that's enough. It's good. and And then I was thinking about it this morning when I woke up from work. I was like, I would much rather go golf again. For sure. And I was right.
00:27:01
echo_blades
I'm crying about What you could boot it? What you could boot it? You can't even get an American one.
00:27:08
Denis Tyrell
That was Jim Carrey.
00:27:09
echo_blades
yeah Yeah. yeah
00:27:12
echo_blades
Point proven.
00:27:16
echo_blades
So anyways, somebody has been doing some research on the soundboard. That's pretty good.
00:27:27
echo_blades
Oh, this is good. Now just put them where they belong and and everything will be good.
00:27:32
Denis Tyrell
Okay.
00:27:33
echo_blades
Anyways. So I see that Dennis is telling me that, uh, He never sees me anymore unless it's on a golf course. And I i have nothing about knives in my notes.
00:27:42
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:27:48
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, why is that?
00:27:50
echo_blades
To which i have a funny story of talking to my, my good friend, Brent Smith from bald man knife and tool.
00:27:58
Denis Tyrell
I too have a story about talking about talking with Brett Smith, but you go first.
00:27:59
echo_blades
And were like,
00:28:03
echo_blades
Now, I have a bunch of things to say about him right now. So, ah but yeah, we were going back and forth about this particular thing. And he goes, yeah, man, you're the Craig Lockwood of the Triple T show.
00:28:14
echo_blades
And I started it dying.
00:28:17
Denis Tyrell
Yep.
00:28:18
echo_blades
I said, all right, touche.
00:28:23
echo_blades
I don't have a funny accent. And I do, I don't play professionally. So, but yeah, ah that that was pretty good.
00:28:29
Denis Tyrell
You would if you could.
00:28:30
echo_blades
That was good. That was good. I would if I could, that's for sure.
00:28:35
Denis Tyrell
ah Yeah, I'm sp surprised you you didn't you didn't type the Craig Lockhart of the Triple T because you always get that name wrong.
00:28:44
echo_blades
Oh yeah. And apparently I butcher yeah everyone's name because Jeff Gary. It's scary, but, uh, yeah, he put some posts up about, uh, uh, some pirate thing.
00:28:56
echo_blades
And I'm, I'm, I think Dennis and I are trying to to connect the dots on it, but nevertheless, I think it's great that, uh, he does some really cool stuff with, with AI and, uh, but, uh, he, he was, he messaged me too.
00:28:57
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, I didn't get it
00:29:10
echo_blades
He's like, well, I'm glad not, I'm not the only guy's name you butcher too. So, yeah.
00:29:14
Denis Tyrell
yeah Yes.
00:29:16
echo_blades
I literally thought you were going to tell me that it's not Lockwood. It's Lockhart.
00:29:20
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. as Steve reached out to me. He goes, ah yeah, you can bust your balls again for fucking up my name.

echo_blades
Oh, cool.
00:30:14
Denis Tyrell
And he's decided he does want to make the full knife with a handle. So we're not going to be making the spike knives. We're going to be making
00:30:24
Denis Tyrell
the normal knife, the hidden tang.
00:30:25
echo_blades
Customers always write, Dennis. Give them what they want.
00:30:27

echo_blades
Yep.
00:30:33
echo_blades
Awesome.
00:30:34

echo_blades
Very cool.
00:30:41
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:30:42

00:33:03
echo_blades
So a while back, I was on, the I was fucking around on Amazon and looking for sandpaper. And i it's one of those things where, like, I like Rhino wet. i don't have any issue with it.
00:33:16
echo_blades
It's just fucking expensive. And what I started with was the, the roll, was it the role roll, roll, go gold, gold, roll. What is it? the The one that you have?
00:33:26
Denis Tyrell
The Dura-gold.
00:33:28
echo_blades
roll Duragold. Yeah. Duragold roll and economical. And it, it, it works fine. Right. So, but every year at the blade show um or blade shows, I'll always try to track down one of those multi-packs of Rhino wet.
00:33:47
echo_blades
So I get a little bit of, yeah, the sheets that the sheets.
00:33:49
Denis Tyrell
You mean the sheets or the rhino stick of the sheets?
00:33:52
echo_blades
Yeah. So I'll get, I got, get, they, they do a multi-pack from the lower grits from like two 20 to, 600 or 800 and then they do one of the high from a thousand to 2000 or 2500 or something like that so um and i i feel better about dropping 50 bucks on a pack of sandpaper um so that's what i do and uh i still have some left but So I was looking for some more sandpaper and in the roll. And I come across this different shit that I've never seen before.
00:34:26
echo_blades
And i think it's called a tool lint or something like that. um It's got this fabric back, weird kind of a pattern on it.
00:34:38
echo_blades
And it was like 16 bucks a roll or something stupid. So I bought one. And then when Brent and Dennis were over at the shop, when Brent was in town, I was using it and Dennis ah used it and was like, Oh man, this shit's fucking really good.
00:34:55
echo_blades
And Brent was using it. And so Dennis was like, Oh hey yeah, yeah. this This is good. and I'm like, Oh great. Just add that to the list of shit that I fucking introduced Dennis to you that. He'll never tell anybody that I did.
00:35:07
echo_blades
And this is a growth. This is a thing between him and I that, you know, Brent's, you know, kind of, uh, more in than most so I always bitch about it to to him so anyways he puts out a post about this thanks to Jared from Echo Plades this new sandpaper motherfucker if this fucking post didn't just go bananas like I haven't posted shit in a long time right so my Instagram stays fairly manageable you know like I
00:35:29
Denis Tyrell
It did.
00:35:37
Denis Tyrell
Did he did he um I didn't notice. did Did he collab with you on it?
00:35:41
echo_blades

Denis Tyrell
OK.
00:35:42
echo_blades

Because everybody's like, oh, Brent, this is a great idea. like,
00:36:11
Denis Tyrell
You guys should have fucking collabed me and I would have given you the Amazon affiliate link for it.
00:36:15
echo_blades
And then I thought about it i and I did in my heart of hearts.
00:36:15
Denis Tyrell
I would have made money.
00:36:18
echo_blades
I was like, yes, I'm so glad that Dennis isn't profiting on this in any way. But yeah, so you guys are all welcome. If you, if you haven't seen the post, go check it out. The sandpaper is really fucking cool. It's really cheap and it's fucking, it's good.
00:36:34
echo_blades
Um, now a lot of like, uh, you know, of course there's always smarty pants is, Oh, it's not better than right. Who gives a fuck? It's half the, I mean like a third of the price, you know, like it's, it's good.
00:36:45
Denis Tyrell
I like it better.
00:36:46
Denis Tyrell
I like it better.
00:36:46
echo_blades
It's good.
00:36:47
Denis Tyrell
I'm not a fan of like...
00:36:47
echo_blades
It works.
00:36:48
echo_blades
I'm not here saying that it's better or not, but it is, it is just as, uh, as good and it's cheap as hell and, it's good. So,
00:36:57
Denis Tyrell
what One thing I do love about it is that it has a cloth, but it's not paper. It has a cloth backing like a 2x72 belt.
00:37:04
echo_blades
Yep. Yep.
00:37:06
Denis Tyrell
And if you're doing like shoe shining and you cut it in strips...
00:37:10
echo_blades
Yep.
00:37:12
Denis Tyrell
It rocks.
00:37:13
echo_blades
It's not going to break. Yep.
00:37:14
Denis Tyrell
It does not break. In fact, that's the one, I think the one downside of is that I'm used to like sanding and then ripping off a piece and then say, it's really hard to rip with your hands.
00:37:23
Denis Tyrell
You have to cut it.
00:37:23
echo_blades
it's yeah, it's hard to rip and it's super sticky and yeah, it's good.
00:37:30
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:37:30
echo_blades
It's good.
00:37:30
echo_blades
It's got, you know, some, some lame stuff about it, but yeah, I thought it was hilarious. So I mean, it's cool. Thank you. Appreciate the shout out and that and sharing with the community.
00:37:39
Denis Tyrell
And he,
00:37:39
echo_blades
Cause I didn't even dawn on me. Cause I think, you know, I didn't, i didn't even think to ever even post about it. So
00:37:45
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, he told me, tell to stop being a bitch.
00:37:49
echo_blades
yeah, it it was funny. And then, I make this offhanded joke to him or or saying to him the other day about like how, don't how much I want to go into it. Cause it doesn't matter, but I make this offhanded comment to him and he goes like, kind of like under his breath goes, just wait.
00:38:09
echo_blades
Right. So I get home today and there's this fucking package. Cause I did another Facebook market thing and I bought a a golf club today.
00:38:20
Denis Tyrell
okay
00:38:21
echo_blades
And, uh, I come home and I'm like, Oh, there's a package. I'm like, I'm not expecting anything. I haven't, haven't bought anything. And look at it and it's pretty decent sized package. And, uh, I look at it and I'm like, Brent. And I'm like this motherfucker, what the hell did he do? Like, and it's, you it's fucking big box.
00:38:39
echo_blades
And I'm like, what the fuck? So I'm talking with Lynn and she's like, uh, I'm like, I have no idea what this is, and I'm probably going to be pissed. So I opened the package up, and I'll be damned if my buddy didn't hook me up with the Serpico XXL.
00:38:55
Denis Tyrell
oh Oh!
00:38:59
Denis Tyrell
Is that what it... Oh, that's different. Okay.
00:38:59
echo_blades
And, bro, yeah, it's so beautiful.
00:39:05
echo_blades
Like, it's got the voodoo resin handle. Like, it is a machete chopper, like,
00:39:08
Denis Tyrell
It's like a machete-sized
00:39:12
echo_blades
deal. Like yeah I am just the super appreciative. So I called him ah just a couple hours ago and was like, you piece of shit. Like, what are you doing? Cause I think a while back I made some offhand comment about like,
00:39:28
echo_blades
ah where's my double X super cool or something like that. So, and I mentioned it this morning and he fucking sure as shit, he knew that this thing was going to be here today and didn't say a damn thing.
00:39:37
Denis Tyrell
ah
00:39:37
echo_blades
So not only did he piss me off by posting this thing and distracting me all day, but then he he gives me an awesome gift. And the, the one thing that I did really want, and I'm super big fan of, that's a, a push stick that you put it, you, um,
00:39:49
Denis Tyrell
I don't know what that is. Hmm.
00:39:58
echo_blades
If you haven't seen it, go check it out. But it's ah the ring goes on your hand so you can actually use a push stick while you're freehand grinding. If that makes sense, you you put the loop on there so you could put pressure and have a steady hold on.
00:40:07
Denis Tyrell
sure where's where's that from oh brent makes it
00:40:13
echo_blades
the That's from Brent. Yeah, he designed it, made it. he's But this is like years old and he he had one from a long time ago. And I'm like, why don't you put those out, dude?
00:40:23
Denis Tyrell
does it have a little like a little kind of rest area on it so that the knife is is it like that or you're you're moving the knife and pushing that against center of the knife
00:40:29
echo_blades
Yep.
00:40:33
echo_blades
You're doing a little both. it's got It's got a couple steps in it.
00:40:36
Denis Tyrell
Okay, that's what i was wondering.
00:40:37
echo_blades
Yep.
00:40:38
Denis Tyrell
Because i think I think I remember Tim mentioning it.
00:40:38
echo_blades
Yep.
00:40:40
Denis Tyrell
We talked about it at one point.
00:40:41
echo_blades
Yeah. And it's micarta, so it's sturdy as shit. And I think he has them like
00:40:49
echo_blades
jetted out with something from Send Cut Send or something like that.
00:40:51
Denis Tyrell
Hmm.
00:40:52
echo_blades
But really cool idea. And I'm looking forward to using it. But Super thrilled with the Serpico XXL chopper.
00:41:00
Denis Tyrell
I thought you were going to put, when you showed me that knife, I thought, I saw one on his post today that was like a long, I don't remember the name of it, a long slender knife. Like, that one's cool.
00:41:09
echo_blades
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That one's cool, too. Yeah.
00:41:11
Denis Tyrell
I like that one.
00:41:12
echo_blades
Now, he's coming up He's doing some some cool stuff. So, anyways, fuck off, Brent.
00:41:14
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, rocking it.
00:41:16
echo_blades
ah Appreciate it.
00:41:17
Denis Tyrell
ah We love you, Brent.
00:41:19
Denis Tyrell
no No matter what your pal Jared here says.
00:41:19
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:41:22
echo_blades
Yeah, that's a dirty trick right there. I think he's trying to pay me back for the, for the knife I bought from him under,
00:41:32
echo_blades
but ah yeah. So, and then, ah you know, in true Jared fashion, i I did not make a post last week again.
00:41:39
Denis Tyrell
Jared Jared Jared I give you one job.
00:41:41
echo_blades
just want you just want you out. So I'll try. You suck.
00:41:53
Denis Tyrell
I had that one. you know
00:41:53
echo_blades
So, ah yeah, I'll do it today i'll do it to to this week, though, for sure.
00:41:57
Denis Tyrell
All right, don't forget.
00:41:58
echo_blades
i appreciate that. Thank you. You're an awesome reminder.
00:42:03
Denis Tyrell
um
00:42:04
echo_blades
Oh, that's what it was. oh Dennis, with the optical wiener finder. That was the joke. I fucking missed it.
00:42:14
echo_blades
God dang it. But yeah, so the Serpico XXL is super cool. And if you want to bang out a big ass chopper, then I suggest you go check out Frank and Nita at Two Bastards Smithian Supply, ah makers of the the Fat Pain.
00:42:35
echo_blades
And I was talking with somebody about it. It was probably Brent, but I was like, <unk> and pes Frank and Frank and Pains, Frank and Pains.
00:42:47
Denis Tyrell
I saw that in your notes and I chuckled when I saw it.
00:42:49
echo_blades
That's pretty good. rightco But yeah, uh, they got all the pins you need to straight to cross the, uh, the, uh, diagonal, uh, and eventually someday maybe a Kirby peen. Uh, but, uh,
00:43:02
echo_blades
Our go-to hammers, and it should be yours too. So go check out Two Bastards Hammer at Texas Smithian Supply. I also had a buddy at work ask me, so is it Smith and Supply? Is it Smithian?
00:43:17
echo_blades
Is it Smith's and? and ah Bro, he broke me. like I was like,
00:43:23
Denis Tyrell
I guess you never actually get his business name correct. Like not once.
00:43:28
echo_blades
what are you talking about?
00:43:29
Denis Tyrell
Say their business name.
00:43:33
echo_blades
Now I'm fucked up. Hold on. Give me one second here.
00:43:37
Denis Tyrell
You're not going to get it right. i don't think you've ever gotten it right.
00:43:39
echo_blades
Yes, I have.
00:43:40
Denis Tyrell
Okay. Tell me.
00:43:43
echo_blades
Now I'm fucking, I'm blanking here. Two bastards. Smith.
00:43:50
Denis Tyrell
You're already wrong.
00:43:53
echo_blades
um Okay, fuck it. I, I.
00:43:54
Denis Tyrell
It's two bastards, Texas Smithy, Smithy, and supplies.
00:43:57
echo_blades
Just Smithy and supply.
00:44:00
Denis Tyrell
And a Smithy is someone that Smiths.
00:44:02
echo_blades
Someone that's Smith. Yes, Smithy. and so It's not Smithian, but it sounds like that. That's what it is.
00:44:10
Denis Tyrell
Yet again, Jared fucks up a name.
00:44:12
echo_blades
I didn't fuck it up. I've said it right every single time.
00:44:14
Denis Tyrell
You have never once said it right.
00:44:14
echo_blades
but
00:44:18
echo_blades
How do you... How do how have I not said it?
00:44:20
Denis Tyrell
Because you never say Texas Smithy and supplies.
00:44:20
echo_blades
Because I say Smithy.
00:44:23
Denis Tyrell
You always either drop the Texas or you don't say the Smithy. It's okay.
00:44:28
echo_blades
I think you're making shit up.
00:44:28
Denis Tyrell
Fine. I'm not.
00:44:30
echo_blades
I think you're making shit up.
00:44:33
Denis Tyrell
no
00:44:34
echo_blades
Anyways, go use your optical wiener. Yeah, don't just go use your optical wiener finder and and center punch it with your skinny peen.
00:44:44
Denis Tyrell
I did. I used the two bastards fat peen, the straight peen, to fix the guard on my knife several times this week.
00:44:57
Denis Tyrell
It's got one of those big giant S curves on it, and I needed to put a bunch of curves in it, so I needed the peen to put the curve. So...
00:44:57
echo_blades
That's pretty good.
00:45:08
echo_blades
ah you get the peens on top of the Frank?
00:45:14
echo_blades
Well, that's what we say. Ain't it grand to have a fat peen in your hand all day long.
00:45:18
Denis Tyrell
yes indeedy
00:45:21
echo_blades
Right on.
00:45:23
Denis Tyrell
So what else? What else? um Maker Spotlight. No, not Maker Spotlight. Sorry, Triple T. um I didn't do a Triple T last week.
00:45:34
Denis Tyrell
and Jared was looking for it for once and didn't find it.
00:45:36
echo_blades
I actually did.
00:45:39
Denis Tyrell
um Yeah, this week I'm going to do a video about rotary plantains. um Because I was thinking, because I didn't have a yeah ah topic, and I was like literally using my rotary platen to put the convex edge on that Bowie knife, and I'm like, i should do a video just about the rotary platen.
00:46:01
Denis Tyrell
And of course, it will be featuring Ameribraid, the makers of the Fastback 2x72, and some of the best attachments out there, including the rotary platen, as well as their amazing surface grinding attachment and a whole bunch of others.
00:46:17
Denis Tyrell
So if you're looking for a 2x72, go check out Ameribraid. They will hook you up. They also have the HyperDisk, the rotary tool extraordinaire. It's a disc, it's a cone, it's a you name it.
00:46:30
Denis Tyrell
it can do it all so uh yeah go check them out at ameribraid.com but yeah so i thought it would do i don't think i've ever done a video on the uses of the rotary plant and we talked a bit about it when uh mureka was on and i thought uh yeah it's time to do a video just on that attachment
00:46:36
echo_blades
Do it. Do it.
Micarta Making Discussion
00:46:49
echo_blades
Yeah, no.
00:46:49
Denis Tyrell
since it it every knife i do now gets touches that rotary platen
00:46:57
Denis Tyrell
So yeah, check the video out. We'll talk about it next week.
00:47:03
Denis Tyrell
What are you smiling about?
00:47:04
echo_blades
Nope. Didn't say anything. I do have a listener question, though.
00:47:07
Denis Tyrell
Oh, let's hear it.
00:47:09
echo_blades
From September 3rd.
00:47:11
Denis Tyrell
Okay.
00:47:14
echo_blades
Keith. He says his name is a is a sobriety test. So just call it T. But it's Keith Toensing, I think.
00:47:23
Denis Tyrell
Oh, yeah.
00:47:23
echo_blades
Is that? Is that? Yeah.
00:47:25
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:47:26
echo_blades
That might be the right way to say ah He says, hey, guys, we're cleaning out the kids' closet and have lots of clothes they no longer fit into. so I'm looking at making my own micarta.
00:47:37
echo_blades
Reduce, reuse, recycle, LOL.
00:47:37
Denis Tyrell
I knew he was going there.
00:47:40
echo_blades
With my limited knowledge, I don't know the difference between the TotalBoat, high-performance, slow, or the traditional 5.1 epoxy resin kits. Which should I use and why? And to that, I say I've never used any TotalBoat.
00:47:55
echo_blades
um And i have no clue. So I differ to Know-it-all.
00:48:01
Denis Tyrell
you're deferring to the wrong person. I am not a first I've never used total boat. I am not a, uh, you know, an expert on their products or i would imagine one of them is a 24 hour epoxy, which you definitely want it.
00:48:17
Denis Tyrell
You don't want to use a fast setting epoxy. if you're going to use a micarta, um, I will.
00:48:24
echo_blades
Yeah, because that whole thing is is chop a bunch of shit up, put it together, mix it up in the glue, compress the shit out of it.
00:48:27
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:48:31
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:48:31
echo_blades
And that's that's about as much as I know.
00:48:34
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. I think you want the slowest setting epoxy you can find um and use that. I am not. First of all, I don't even like my card.
00:48:44
Denis Tyrell
like I don't even like using it I don't. like I certainly am not going to make it because that seems like, you know. All power to you, buddy. But that sounds like a like a messy make work project.
00:48:57
Denis Tyrell
But um yeah, I've never made it and it does not turn me on to make it. But yeah, you definitely would want the slow epoxy, I would think. But I'm not an expert.
00:49:09
echo_blades
It has to turn you on.
00:49:11
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, it does.
00:49:12
echo_blades
That's interesting. That's great.
00:49:14
Denis Tyrell
It does.
00:49:15
echo_blades
Yeah. So Keith, you stumped the, the know it all.
00:49:19
Denis Tyrell
yeah but
00:49:19
echo_blades
He says, or is there another brand or something you would recommend? said to but But yeah, I, I, my take would be some kind of slow setting epoxy yeah.
00:49:28
Denis Tyrell
yeah Yeah, any 24-hour epoxy would be fine. I mean, yeah.
00:49:31
echo_blades
yeah
00:49:33
Denis Tyrell
I mean, because I've done leather stacked handles. It's the same concept. You want the slow-setting epoxy. You want to, you know, goo it all up, get lots of epoxy on it. And yeah, Jared's lit up from that one.
00:49:50
echo_blades
chew it all up Nice.
00:49:50
Denis Tyrell
And get it nice and gooey and then put it in a mold and press the shit out of it. Yeah.
00:50:00
echo_blades
Well, sorry, Keith.
00:50:02
Denis Tyrell
I guess it would look cool if you got some different colors and stuff in it. Maybe that would be, you know, different layers of different clothing, colored clothing. Maybe that would look cool.
00:50:10
echo_blades
Yeah. I've seen, I've heard all kinds of different cool ideas of, of things. Like, I guess that's something, don't know where I heard it, but like a old,
00:50:19
echo_blades
military uniforms or something that you just don't need anymore but you want to keep around for some nostalgia that can have you know a longer life than yeah
00:50:27
Denis Tyrell
Mm-hmm. I've seen, I've heard people do denim. I've heard people do like fire hose micarta. I've heard of, um,
00:50:35
echo_blades
fire hose rose baby yeah
00:50:39
Denis Tyrell
uh, actually the, the one kind of micarta that I do like and appreciate is actually the paper micarta, which I think can look pretty cool.
00:50:43
echo_blades
sp yeah All right.
00:50:48
Denis Tyrell
Cause it, and I'm just, I'm not a fan of the canvas micarta, it can look nice on nice.
00:50:49
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:50:54
Denis Tyrell
I just don't, I don't like working with it.
00:50:55
echo_blades
I have been, I've been lucky enough to, uh, the, the couple of my cart is that I've done. I've been able to actually came out fairly decently finished.
00:51:06
echo_blades
So, um,
D&D Nostalgia and Humorous Stories
00:51:08
echo_blades
but yeah, understand that it's not the case with every single one burns real easy.
00:51:13
Denis Tyrell
It's no grip tech.
00:51:14
echo_blades
Yeah, that's for sure. But you know what if i was you know what I did do when I did finish it at the very end? I used Pelican Paste. Go check out Travis Haynes over at Pelican Paste, maker of some awesome premium wax.
00:51:24
Denis Tyrell
Right on.
00:51:30
echo_blades
He's got hard wax, soft wax, Pelican oil, hand solve, and some soap too. And don't forget the cast iron seasoning butter knot. You better not forget that for sure.
00:51:45
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:51:45
echo_blades
ah Fill up the cart and use the discount code TTT10 for 10% off.
00:51:51
Denis Tyrell
Very cool.
00:51:52
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:51:53
Denis Tyrell
I had something funny happen, uh, um, last week.
00:51:58
echo_blades
You used your optical wiener finder?
00:51:59
Denis Tyrell
Uh, no, no, I did not.
00:52:01
echo_blades
Oh. That would make me laugh.
00:52:02
Denis Tyrell
Haven't used it in a while.
00:52:04
echo_blades
That would make me laugh.
00:52:06
Denis Tyrell
No, I had a guy reach out like totally random. Um, I get this, you know, message request on Instagram and, uh, And it's a picture and he ain he getting the text, the you know he sent me a little message that is this yours? And it's a picture.
00:52:24
Denis Tyrell
And I had to like click on the picture and zoom in and it's a picture of a book and in the inside of the book is my name. And the, so he used to play Dungeons and Dragons and the this is a book.
00:52:32
echo_blades
What?
00:52:39
Denis Tyrell
I knew were going to laugh about this, but this is a book that I probably sold like, I don't know, 10 15 years I,
00:52:41
echo_blades
hello
00:52:48
Denis Tyrell
and Because it was just lying around and haven't played in god God knows how many years. um And it had my name in it. And this guy said that he looked me up on Instagram and he saw that I was a knife maker.
00:53:02
Denis Tyrell
He's like, yeah, this has got to be the guy. So he reached out to me and then he asked me, hey, do you want it back? And I'm like, no, it's really cool that you sent this to me, but no, I don't want it back. But yeah, enjoy it. And yeah, thanks for the memory. That was kind of cool.
00:53:18
Denis Tyrell
So yeah, it was it was pretty funny. And I knew it, you could tell it was really old because my handwriting is so bad. It's like like a teenager's handwriting. So yeah.
00:53:31
echo_blades
Dungeons and Dragons. I'm going to get so much shit. but ah e
00:53:36
Denis Tyrell
Hey, that's that's where a lot of knife sword inspiration comes from. You know, you don't actually make knives, so you wouldn't need that.
00:53:44
echo_blades
Whatever. I don't play Dungeons Dragons and nobody reached me.
00:53:52
Denis Tyrell
You would actually be pretty funny playing Dungeons & Dragons.
00:53:56
echo_blades
Oh man, that's so good. Hey, you did, Jared. Somebody found my old D&D book.
00:54:05
Denis Tyrell
Don't know why that's so funny, but...
00:54:10
Denis Tyrell
ah I gave him to my son for a while because he plays still. But, yeah. Not this one.
00:54:17
echo_blades
ah that's That's really weird. That's really weird. and The chances of that happening are fucking slim to none.
00:54:24
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. But...
00:54:25
echo_blades
Since you're kind of a big deal, you know this is what happens to you.
00:54:29
Denis Tyrell
Well, it's not like the guy followed me or he hadn't seen any of my video. because i asked him, I was like, do you watch my videos or anything like that? He's like, no. Like, like no. Like, I don't even know who you are. But he just looked me up on Instagram.
00:54:40
echo_blades
Why though? That's weird. That's weird.
00:54:44
Denis Tyrell
He just saw the name in the book that he had bought.
00:54:44
echo_blades
But.
00:54:48
Denis Tyrell
And I guess he bought it at some comic store or something like that. So, yeah.
00:54:53
echo_blades
All right.
00:54:55
Denis Tyrell
It's pretty funny.
00:54:56

And because of that, I lost mine.
00:58:18
echo_blades
um No, and then on the on the same kind of deal, I have a ah Mario. I'm assuming this is underscore underscore because it's a long underscore.
00:58:31
Denis Tyrell

00:58:33
echo_blades
Yeah, it's Mario underscore underscore underscore Mattia. ah Mario Mattia, he's an Italian maker. um All knives...
00:58:42
Denis Tyrell

echo_blades
All knives and Damascus steel are 100% self-made and sole authorship. All right. um So Italian guy, he has 9,242 followers.
00:59:01
echo_blades
And I just saw a post come on my feed earlier today and I was following him, but not too closely apparently. But the guy does some awesome shit.
00:59:14
echo_blades
There is a, and think it's the third one on his profile. So maybe it's like his, his most recent ah classic Giotto dressed with FSS steel.
00:59:26
echo_blades
Do you, have ever heard of that?
00:59:29
Denis Tyrell
F, S, S. Never heard
00:59:31
echo_blades
Well, he, he tells us that fs FSS steel is composed by stainless for the outside jacket, pure nickel and 14 28 for the core.
00:59:43
Denis Tyrell
of it. Okay.
00:59:45
echo_blades
that's
00:59:45
Denis Tyrell
Okay, so this is like a bunch of Isn't that 1095? Yeah, it's like the year... forget...
00:59:54
echo_blades
I have no idea. um It's outside of my room. I'm just looking at it.
00:59:56
Denis Tyrell

00:59:57
echo_blades
But it's it's like a go my it's some kind of a go my but it dude the finish on this knife is fucking dope. I like the forge finish the the nickel shim like the the whole thing that that that is a sexy ass knife to me.
01:00:13
Denis Tyrell
Oh, sorry. No, it's ah night it's similar Nitro-V.
01:00:19
echo_blades
Okay.
01:00:20
Denis Tyrell
Wrong one, sorry. There's a couple designations that that are just European designations for like very similar steels.
01:00:29
echo_blades
Yeah. But yeah, that that's my jam right there. That is a beautiful knife. And I started looking through the rest of the stuff and just really awesome shit.
01:00:40
echo_blades
And I feel like a shitty maker. I see that. And, and was it Jason? That was his name? Stinson?
01:00:49
Denis Tyrell
What mine? Justin.
01:00:50
echo_blades
Yeah. Justin. Sorry. Yeah. Just really awesome stuff. Right, right, right in the wheelhouse of what I'm about.
01:00:56
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, yeah two two awesome culinary makers today on Triple T Maker Spotlight.
01:00:59
echo_blades
Yeah. On the triple T podcast. Yeah. Make your spotlight. The colony special corner. Colony. Colony. Colony.
01:01:09
echo_blades
Colony corner. For Smithians and Smiths all alike.
01:01:16
Denis Tyrell
Easy for you to say.
01:01:17
echo_blades
Yeah, twice. But yeah, so go to check both of them out and I'll put a post out this week. Oh, man, you know, and then I got some fucking shitty news.
01:01:27
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
01:01:32
echo_blades
So I don't know this to be true.
01:01:38
echo_blades
Oh, that's not you. Oh, shit. I thought you were doing a sound bite, but my fucking audio went on my Instagram. I was tripping out right there, dude. i was like, what are you doing?
01:01:48
echo_blades
That's not a good spot for that.
01:01:48
Denis Tyrell
No, it's not me.
01:01:50
echo_blades
Yeah, that was not you. ah I don't know where I saw it. um Shit, and I feel like a little bit of a shit talker, but ah we had a a maker spotlight a couple of weeks back, and I saw the name pop up, and i was digging what I was seeing.
01:02:10
echo_blades
And then I saw uh, Oh, I think it was from Valhalla.
01:02:18
echo_blades
Yeah. He put some kind of a Valhalla.
01:02:18
Denis Tyrell
Valhalla Ironworks?
01:02:21
echo_blades
I want to say, man, I could be fucking this up, but, and I'm sorry if i am.
01:02:24
Denis Tyrell
Because we haven't done that one a long time.
01:02:26
echo_blades
No, no, no, no, that not him, but he posted something about the the guy.
01:02:28
Denis Tyrell
Oh.
01:02:31
echo_blades
yeah Oh, that's what it was. Somebody forward forwarded me this. I am so ready. This is cool.
01:02:36
Denis Tyrell
This is great podcast material.
01:02:39
echo_blades
Yeah, just shut up and just go with it.
01:02:44
Denis Tyrell
ah
01:02:44
echo_blades
Yeah, it says this account is posting other people's content and claiming it's their own.
01:02:45
Denis Tyrell
Well, folks, imagine if you will.
01:02:50
echo_blades
If you follow them, consider unfollowing them to make our community ah more honest place. And
01:02:57
Denis Tyrell
it's not ah It's not a maker spotlight we did, I hope.
01:03:01
echo_blades
it's somebody that I called out for maker spotlight. Yeah.
01:03:06
Denis Tyrell
Oh, but it's someone else sharing their content.
01:03:10
Denis Tyrell
Is that what you mean?
01:03:10
echo_blades
Yes.
01:03:10
echo_blades
one of our one ah ah Somebody posted about a maker spotlight that I had put out saying that the guy was stealing other people's, posting other people's work as his own.
01:03:23
Denis Tyrell
Really?
01:03:24
echo_blades
Yeah. And I'm debating whether to say it, but I'll forward it to you right now.
01:03:29
Denis Tyrell
Put it in the chat because I want to look.
01:03:33
echo_blades
This is good podcasting, like you said.
01:03:35
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
01:03:35
echo_blades
Yeah. This is why we're average and fucking missing the mark, dude.
01:03:40
Denis Tyrell
That's right. We were are kings of missing the mark.
01:03:41
echo_blades
Yeah. Fucking mediocre boys.
01:03:46
Denis Tyrell
ah
01:03:49
echo_blades
I just sent it to you.
01:03:50
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. Yeah. We just talked about that one.
01:03:53
echo_blades
Yeah, that's kind of a bummer. So I'm not even spreading all this false times. But if, man, if that's your deal, go fuck off. You know? I'm not into that.
01:04:05
echo_blades
want to give people honest shout outs and try to highlight what they're doing and you're out stealing other people's shit. Not cool.
01:04:13
Denis Tyrell
Interesting. um
01:04:17
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
01:04:18
echo_blades
It's a bummer, right?
01:04:19
Denis Tyrell
Well, no, I think the problem is
01:04:23
Denis Tyrell
ah
01:04:24
echo_blades
What the problem is.
01:04:25
Denis Tyrell
the problem is the the one that you posted. yeah I'm I'm going to just say it because I think I know what happened. So you you you posted this under forgedbyaustin with no underscore, but there's another account, Austin Paul, which is forgedbyaustin,
01:04:35
echo_blades
Oh,
01:04:40
echo_blades
okay.
01:04:49
Denis Tyrell
which is a different account. So I think you probably meant... to do the Forged by underscore Austin, but accidentally did the Forged by Austin with no underscore.
01:05:07
echo_blades
Oh.
01:05:09
Denis Tyrell
I'm guessing that's what happened? Because the Forged by underscore Austin has got like progress pics of Damascus. I mean, I don't know why.
01:05:21
Denis Tyrell
Like this does not look like... um you know, you would take someone else's work to do this? So, um yeah, I think it's, you posted the wrong account.
01:05:39
Denis Tyrell
i'm I'm only guessing.
01:05:45
Denis Tyrell
Because it looks like another, and they both say Austin Paul.
01:05:52
Denis Tyrell
You see what I'm seeing?
01:05:53
echo_blades
Yeah.
01:05:56
Denis Tyrell
So I think that's probably the issue.
01:06:00
echo_blades
Gotcha. All right. Well, one of them needs to fuck off.
01:06:05
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
01:06:06
echo_blades
That's a bummer.
01:06:07
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, that is. i mean, there are times...
01:06:09
echo_blades
And I think you're right. I think the underscore Austin is the right one.
01:06:13
Denis Tyrell
Yes.
01:06:14
echo_blades
Yep. All right. Well, there's that. So let me go rectify my bullshit.
01:06:17
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
01:06:21
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. But I've i've been... Somewhat, especially in the early days, fooled by this, by accounts stealing pictures. And, uh, yeah.
01:06:33
Denis Tyrell
You can usually tell by how many they're following. If there's, they're following about the same number as people, are or way more than people that are following that, that they have followers, it's usually one of those fake accounts.
01:06:48
echo_blades
You
01:06:50
Denis Tyrell
Because, I don't know, I don't know how many you follow, but, uh,
01:06:56
Denis Tyrell
um I don't follow as many.
01:06:58
echo_blades
know, I get your, I get what you're saying.
01:06:59
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
01:07:00
echo_blades
Yeah.
01:07:03
echo_blades
I don't know if there's some rule, but yeah. Yeah, no, I'm, I'm about half for me.
01:07:09
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
01:07:12
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. I mean, it and I wouldn't say that as a percentage, but, you know, once you're over, like following a thousand accounts is a lot.
01:07:20
echo_blades
Yeah.
01:07:22
Denis Tyrell
You know, once you get into the 5000 you're following over 1000 accounts.
01:07:26
echo_blades
You're not going to see anything that you really want to.
01:07:28
Denis Tyrell
Yes.
01:07:28
echo_blades
So yeah.
01:07:29
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. Yeah.
01:07:30
echo_blades
All right.
Endorsements and Techniques
01:07:31
echo_blades
Well, yeah, that's, that happened.
01:07:35
echo_blades
But yeah. Anyways, but through all of that cool FFS deal too, it just, you know, if you're not into making your own Damascus, then I would say you go check out Koi Baker and the boys at Baker Forge and Tool.
01:07:49
echo_blades
Uh,
01:07:54
echo_blades
Oh, that was bad.
01:07:55
Denis Tyrell
I hit the wrong one.
01:07:56
echo_blades
That was bad. That was bad. See, Koi, this is why i got to be in charge of this.
01:08:02
Denis Tyrell
No.
01:08:02
echo_blades
You agree with me. Message this old man and tell him that he needs to relinquish the control.
01:08:09
Denis Tyrell
That would involve you actually setting it up every week and you can't even get that Instagram post out.
01:08:10
echo_blades
Oh, my God. let's say it. I do it fine every time you're gone. But anyways. Cory Baker, the boys of Baker Forge Tools Maker, the premium pattern welded steel. This week we have Hypnotic Copper My and Chevron.
01:08:28
echo_blades
This hypnotic pattern with copper Damascus cladding and a 1084 core is ready.
01:08:35
echo_blades
and probably gone by now because we're a couple days late. But users of the Baker Forging Tool app will ah get one-day early access to the drops when they happen. So this coming Friday, I believe you should go um jump on the app and take advantage of that.
01:08:55
echo_blades
ah They also have um the their line of premium products. Etchance, Gator Piss, Gator Piss Max, the OG blend and and heavy.
01:09:07
echo_blades
um What else they got? Grime Reaper to clean the steel before you get etching. Beautiful citrusy cleaner.
01:09:19
echo_blades
and know Yeah, freshen up your shop. yeah Did you spray some ah Grime Reaper to rid yourself of the freaking molar?
01:09:25
Denis Tyrell
that
01:09:28
Denis Tyrell
That's what I should have.
01:09:29
echo_blades
Yeah.
01:09:29
Denis Tyrell
I should used that to get rid of the mammoth smell. I actually had someone reach out on a a straight comment on a video, the video I did on the gator skin, and asked me if, um you know,
01:09:34
echo_blades
Beautiful.
01:09:43
Denis Tyrell
what my thoughts are after whatever six months or whatever. And i still have those two little coupons of steel that I showed in the video. And i pulled them off the wall and looked at them. And one is the the control piece is super rusty. And the other one still does not have a speck of rust on it.
01:10:03
echo_blades
beautiful
01:10:03
Denis Tyrell
And, you know, it just hangs in the shop, but it's not like it gets wet or anything like that. But yeah, the other one is pretty rusty.
01:10:13
echo_blades
Yeah, gator skin for the win.
01:10:15
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, I actually got to get some more of that because I spray it on all my um students knives.
01:10:20
echo_blades
Hmm.
01:10:20
Denis Tyrell
So now I'm getting low.
01:10:21
echo_blades
Yeah. Thanks. Appreciate you sharing.
01:10:25
Denis Tyrell
Well, if you come over sometime with a knife, maybe you'll get to use it.
01:10:26
echo_blades
ah worry. Nah, nah, nah. I even asked a couple times. I even asked couple of times. You couldn't be bothered. So anyways, my boy Koi took care of me. So I'm good.
01:10:37
echo_blades
And I got a fancy box too. So love you, Koi.
01:10:38
Denis Tyrell
Oh, yeah, yeah.
01:10:40
echo_blades
Thank you. um Yeah. to Load up the cart with all of that awesome shit and use the discount code triple T 10 for 10% off.
01:10:50
Denis Tyrell
And if you were to have the desire to actually heat treat that steel, what would you use?
01:10:56
echo_blades
I would use even heat the bestest oven kiln knife treating place to control the temperature.
01:11:09
echo_blades
And as Dennis would say, take your heat treating down to scientific level. Use even heat kilns. Even he's a family owned and operated company since 1948 building and making the highest quality knife heat treat ovens available.
01:11:26
echo_blades
Yeah. If you're not doing it, I don't know what you're doing. Your, your, your shit's at least seven degrees off.
01:11:34
Denis Tyrell
Oh, you also didn't use my thing about Koi's ad read. the What did I say last week? Etch it. Oh, no. Clean it, etch it, and protect it. You're supposed to use that.
01:11:47
echo_blades
Oh, but it's not in here. I'll put this in here.
01:11:49
Denis Tyrell
I'm going to put it in the ad read.
01:11:50
echo_blades
Yeah, do that. Clean it, etch it, and protect it with gator piss, gator skin, and grime reaper.
01:11:58
Denis Tyrell
That's right.
01:11:58
echo_blades
There you go. And then when you're done, pop it in your even heat kiln and get it all nice and hard. So, cool. All right, man.
01:12:07
Denis Tyrell
Cool, cool.
01:12:09
echo_blades
Let's get out of here.
01:12:10
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
Ending Banter and Future Plans
01:12:11
Denis Tyrell
So wait, you got some, what, knives to treat? that you're going to say here?

And I'll call it out in the video, basically just dousing this stuff in CA glue to keep it from chipping and going slow and new belts and all that stuff. But I'm curious how others are finishing this off.
01:12:59
Denis Tyrell
So.
01:13:00
echo_blades
Stop. Use another word.
01:13:03
Denis Tyrell
