Spotlight on Grip Tech Composites
00:02:09
Denis Tyrell
um It fucking hurt. I couldn't believe, like the first one, the the knife that I have on my right arm, it's in the exact same spot on my inner forearm, right?
00:02:21
Denis Tyrell
The first one took an hour and it didn't really hurt that much.
00:02:22
echo_blades
Mm-hmm.
00:02:25
Denis Tyrell
And same spot on my left arm, The guy's like he's outlining it. And I even said to him, I'm like, i can barely feel this. This is good. And it's an anvil, right? And there's a lot of dark spots on it. and then he started then he started like shading it in, and it's black in a couple areas.
00:02:43
echo_blades
Oh,
00:02:46
Denis Tyrell
And I got to say, I feel like a wuss because I was getting a little light. It was two and a half hours, first of all, and I was getting a little lightheaded. like I was almost ready to tap.
00:02:58
Denis Tyrell
like but i think I had another 20 minutes in me, and it fucking hurt.
00:03:02
echo_blades
wow. Huh.
00:03:03
Denis Tyrell
I couldn't believe it Like it stung for a good two hours after um i got home.
00:03:06
echo_blades
Oh,
00:03:11
Denis Tyrell
So yeah, it was a bitch.
00:03:11
echo_blades
wow.
00:03:14
Denis Tyrell
after I think I jinxed myself by saying it doesn't hurt, so
00:03:15
echo_blades
I have
00:03:18
echo_blades
done, you know what, ah since I'm such a stellar human being, I was just going to say how much encouragement you were giving me when I was talking about mine.
00:03:28
echo_blades
And apparently the location that I have mine is, or would like to get mine is, is notorious for being painful. So yeah, supposedly right, right.
00:03:37
Denis Tyrell
What do you want? Your inner wrist?
00:03:41
echo_blades
There is supposed to be just ouchie.
00:03:43
Denis Tyrell
That's because you want to you want to see it, right?

echo_blades

echo_blades
So, yeah.
00:05:56
echo_blades
Yeah, I don't think you, I think you paste. um i Maybe not the hard wax, right? Quite yet, but the soft wax might give it a nice little Cody sheen to it there.

00:06:14

00:06:37
echo_blades
You know, i saw a reel from Travis because he's always providing us with helpful information.
00:06:40
Denis Tyrell
but yeah I saw that too.
00:06:41
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, yeah.
00:06:42
echo_blades
Yeah, with helpful hints.
00:06:42
echo_blades
And, um you know, one of them prior, I think last week I had put some on my my work rest. He was also talking about, you know, you could do your hammer handles, just endless uses for for Pelican paste.
00:06:56
echo_blades
But ah that reel was about... protecting your knife, uh, during the process of making. And, uh, I thought that was an interesting idea because it is not crossed my mind.
00:07:04
Denis Tyrell
Mm-hmm.
00:07:07
echo_blades
and and inherently we don't live in a, uh, a very rusty, uh, humid place. So, um, I really gotta like purposely fuck something up to get, get some rust going, leave it in some water or, you uh, which I have done. i actually, last time i was, um, grinding, um,
00:07:28
echo_blades
I didn't leave a knife there, but my, my, my work rest got rusted. Cause I was dipping and grinding and dipping and grinding and i didn't dry off the rest. Yeah. And I came back then I, you know, couple days later i was like, oh Lord.
00:07:41
Denis Tyrell
I bet you Brent has this problem of like just, know, I was sitting on the bench and then rusting.
00:07:41
echo_blades
Um,
00:07:46
echo_blades
Yeah. I used to bust him up about not using stabilized wood a lot, but he said that they have an issue with, you know, with the, just wood in general, kind of, you know, the contracting and warping and doing all kinds of weird shit from all the moisture and stuff. So
00:08:06
Denis Tyrell
Oh, when it dries out, you mean.
00:08:09
Denis Tyrell
but
00:08:10
echo_blades
that's why he was, you know, leaned on the, ah the synthetic,
00:08:13
Denis Tyrell
Oh, one synthetics. I see what you mean.
00:08:15
echo_blades
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, but anyways, yeah,
00:08:17
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, yeah.
Travel Stories and Future Plans
00:08:20
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. But I'm pretty happy the tattoo looks, I'll send you a picture. It looks really good. I think he did a really good job on the hammer and on the, on the aspects of the anvil. So, yeah, he did a good job.
00:08:20
echo_blades
cool.
00:08:32
echo_blades
That's cool.
00:08:33
Denis Tyrell
i was happy with it.
00:08:34
echo_blades
Nice.
00:08:36
Denis Tyrell
um But yeah, spent a couple hours. That took longer than I expected. I wasn't home until 2 o'clock and my appointment was at 10. um But I a little bit done in the shop today.
00:08:49
Denis Tyrell
on...
00:08:49
echo_blades
Are still out there getting busy?
00:08:52
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I am on a halt on the on the sword. Sword dagger, whatever. I haven't decided what I'm going to call it yet. But I think I'm going to call it a dagger because it's not...
00:09:06
Denis Tyrell
it's just a wide bladed dagger, but, um, because I'm waiting for some ivory that I need for the specific piece of ivory that I need for this, um, this project, the ones I have just, um, are either too big or not big enough.
00:09:21
Denis Tyrell
So one or the other, um, but I'm pretty pleased with the blade and the guard so far. I, you saw me finish the guard, uh, the other day when you were there and then, um,
00:09:35
Denis Tyrell
Working on the spacers now. So, um yeah, I'm excited about it. I'm annoyed that I have to pause. But I am getting that stainless sand. my i can made some really good progress on that today.
00:09:48
Denis Tyrell
So that should be done. Maybe done tomorrow.
00:09:50
echo_blades
That's the guard I was thinking you were talking about for some reason.
00:09:52
Denis Tyrell
No, no, no. no um
00:09:53
echo_blades
Yeah, but im I'm tracking now.
00:09:56
Denis Tyrell
But I do have to do something I've never done before. Which is, so the guard on that one is made out of stainless Damascus. the one for the stainless semi.
00:10:07
echo_blades
Mm-hmm.
00:10:08
Denis Tyrell
So I have to heat treat it and I've never like, it's like a block. It's a good guard shape now. And I have to heat treat it. So I guess I'm gonna cover it in condersal and heat treat it and then just take it out and blow compressed air on it. I mean, I'm not really gonna put it between the plates.
00:10:31
Denis Tyrell
like it's a guard right like there's going to be not much contact not like a blade so i guess i'm just right like but i mean i guess i could put it between the plates and then blow compressed air on it i just don't know that it's going to do that i mean it doesn't have to get that hard it's just that it needs to get etched and it will etch darker if it's hard so
00:10:37
echo_blades
ah It's got some mass to it, though, too, right? Yeah. Hmm. yeah
00:10:58
Denis Tyrell
that That'll be an interesting little process I got to do tomorrow.
00:11:03
Denis Tyrell
But, yeah. Never had to do this before. This is where, I mean, even, yeah, it doesn't really matter.
00:11:10
echo_blades
It's stainless Damascus.
00:11:11
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, stainless Damascus.
00:11:11
echo_blades
That's true. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. yeah yeah
00:11:14
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:11:15
echo_blades
interesting
00:11:16
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. So, I'll let you know how it goes. But, um that one's coming together really nice.
00:11:20
echo_blades
please do
00:11:22
Denis Tyrell
i'm I'm excited about that blade and having it done. get it up on the website.
00:11:29
echo_blades
have you done a test st on the on the blade yet
00:11:32
Denis Tyrell
No, but I can see the, um I never test etched those, but I can see like where the line is just from grinding.
00:11:40
echo_blades
Okay.
00:11:40
Denis Tyrell
So, and it's pretty balanced, so it'll look pretty cool, but.
00:11:43
echo_blades
Nice.
00:11:45
echo_blades
Cool. Yeah. I got a, that one's on the, uh, on the endless, uh, on the go.
00:11:53
Denis Tyrell
Is it on the short list or on the how many are ahead of it?
00:11:53
echo_blades
Uh, it's,
00:11:56
Denis Tyrell
Where is it in the queue?
00:11:58
echo_blades
It's five. have three at the home stretch again. yeah, it's, it's by there.
00:12:03
Denis Tyrell
All right. Well, that's good.
00:12:06
echo_blades
I'm going to do the, that, um, finish the coffee etching tomorrow, uh, evening and then, um, see how those go.
00:12:13
Denis Tyrell
All right.
00:12:16
echo_blades
Hopefully I don't have to endlessly redo them. There's a couple of them that are a little pain in the ass, but, um, well that one in particular. So, uh, go through that tomorrow and then, um, it'll just be handles and,
00:12:30
echo_blades
uh, you know, glue ups and shit like that. So, and then I have, uh, Oh, I did get the, uh, the, uh, Manzanita, uh, blocks that, um, one of our listeners, Devin Sheridan sent me.
00:12:43
echo_blades
And, um, so I'll be able to finish that, um, have an intrepid build that I'm going to do with that. So excited to to see that.
00:12:51
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:12:52
echo_blades
Yeah. I was digging it.
00:12:53
Denis Tyrell
Those really cool. they're They're really red.
00:12:54
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:12:55
Denis Tyrell
I didn't, uh, some good color.
00:12:56
echo_blades
they Yeah, they got some some color on them. Yeah, yeah.
00:12:59
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:13:00
echo_blades
So, i'm excited about that. And then... What else do got going? I got it, yeah. it's it's ah It's definitely ordered.
00:13:10
Denis Tyrell
Well, once you finish these three knives, you will have finished more knives in the last two months than you've finished in probably almost the last year.
00:13:21
echo_blades
Yeah? No, for sure. It'll be. Because that was four and... the end of December. So we're talking about a month. If I get, get these done in the next week or two.
00:13:28
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
Knife Makers Guild and International Sales
00:13:30
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:13:30
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. Come on. Use that momentum.
00:13:31
echo_blades
Which I should. Oh yeah. I'm fired up, man. Um, yeah, the other day, uh, uh, I think I did say i got that, that granite plate. Now I got figure out where the fuck to put that surface plate.
00:13:45
Denis Tyrell
ah You know what I did with the a little trick on that surface plate is I have some of those little square rubber feet that um I use for the bottom of the Sandshark.
00:13:58
Denis Tyrell
You should take take four of those home because then,
00:14:00
echo_blades
Okay. Okay. Yeah, I'm thinking like the furniture fucking things on the bottom of chair.
00:14:05
Denis Tyrell
yeah, it's exactly what they are, except they're sticky on one side.
00:14:05
echo_blades
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:14:09
Denis Tyrell
And then it doesn't move. um It doesn't slide around. it doesn'
00:14:13
echo_blades
And you can get it up too. like you get It's not completely fat flat on the...
00:14:18
Denis Tyrell
You can what? Say that again?
00:14:19
echo_blades
What? they get Yeah, when you're trying to get the that stainless steel Damascus hard, you know you then and you try to get that plate up.
00:14:20
Denis Tyrell
You can get it up.
00:14:31
echo_blades
I don't know. Come on, man. thats
00:14:33
Denis Tyrell
but That one fell flat.
00:14:35
echo_blades
I'm saying that. It was it was a lame. Oh, goodness gracious.
00:14:40
Denis Tyrell
oh
00:14:43
Denis Tyrell
Crazy. But yeah, finish these knives, man. Get them out.
00:14:47
echo_blades
Thank you. I was going to, I was going to let that silence roll for as long as I possibly fucking could. Yeah. um yeah I'm, I'm good, man. I'm feeling, feeling,
00:14:58
echo_blades
I think the best part about it is um I'm thinking about it during the day. Like, yeah.
00:15:02
Denis Tyrell
That's good. That's good sign.
00:15:04
echo_blades
Yeah. I'm not necessarily seeing Damascus patterns in the ah everywhere I look now, but I'm starting to think about that. You know, there that that constant thought about what I got to do or what I want to do. and So it's a good feeling.
00:15:19
Denis Tyrell
Good, good. Yeah, gets make some money.
00:15:22
echo_blades
Yeah, that's that's a good thing too. Because fuck, man, we got ah Texas coming up right around the corner.
00:15:29
Denis Tyrell
I know, and I want to have this dagger done, and um and I'm not even, i don't i don't have a table at Texas, but there's i want to get some pictures taken of a couple of knives, um that feather buoy, and um the dagger, and maybe one other, if I can get another one done um for Texas.
00:15:52
Denis Tyrell
So plus I am, I'm actually submitting knives for my knife makers guild. Um, vote. I think it's voting membership. I don't know.
00:16:03
Denis Tyrell
Whatever membership. I forget what, whatever membership in the knife makers guild. I need to submit three knives. So, uh, I'm not, what do you mean when I was there?
00:16:14
echo_blades
What did you do when you were there? Didn't they look at some stuff?
00:16:19
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. Yeah, I think they they actually lost my application.
00:16:25
echo_blades
Oh. Oh.
00:16:26
Denis Tyrell
and then, um so there's there's different, like you need to show knives and then you're a probationary member and then the next time you need to show knives and then you're, ah I forget the levels, but this is like the second time I'm showing knives, I think to be a voting voting member or I don't know, there might be another term for it. I don't know.
00:16:49
echo_blades
Oh,
00:16:50
Denis Tyrell
so but um yeah to be to be able to be considered to like win their submission awards which is the next one i think i'm the one i'm showing knives for so
00:17:05
echo_blades
so it's you'll you'll show them then they get put up for eligibility for like ah best in...
00:17:09
Denis Tyrell
uh well it's it's those two aren't related you just have to do you have to show knives before you can be considered before you can submit knives for judging but i will probably submit those knives for judging anyway
00:17:20
echo_blades
Gotcha.
00:17:24
echo_blades
Gotcha. Cool.
00:17:26
Denis Tyrell

00:19:17
Denis Tyrell
cause that would have been,
00:19:21
Denis Tyrell
yeah but I, I've been twice with Parker, uh, and Parker didn't go the year. We didn't go the year that, um, he went to blade, um, Atlanta and he's been to a blade Atlanta last two years.
00:19:37
echo_blades
Okay.
00:19:38
Denis Tyrell

Denis Tyrell
That restaurant that Parker and I went to The first year we went was fucking phenomenal. It was so good. um Amazing.
00:20:49
Denis Tyrell
Really good restaurant. I'm hyping it up now, but it was really good. We had a great, probably one of the best steak meals I've ever had.
00:20:58
echo_blades
I think Koi, we were at Double Eagle, Del something, Del something.
00:21:08
echo_blades
I can't. Del Fresco. That was the name of it.
00:21:11
Denis Tyrell
i've yeah I've heard of that.
00:21:12
echo_blades
Yeah, that was good. It wasn't as good as the one that I had when I was in Manhattan, but it was definitely a a good stake there.
00:21:18
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, but that's a chain, right?
00:21:20
echo_blades
I only know of the Fort Worth and and the Manhattan ones, but yep.
00:21:23
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, okay. But they' it's not a...
00:21:26
echo_blades
It's not a known like an exclusive of location.
00:21:27
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, similar to one.
00:21:28
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:21:28
Denis Tyrell
I'm going to look up this place that we went.
00:21:28
echo_blades
they're
00:21:30
Denis Tyrell
And um it's like, it was a pretty nice restaurant. Like, it was pretty fancy. And you walk by and there's like the, you can see into the... the room where all of the dry aged steaks are hanging, like all the sides of beef and stuff.
00:21:42
echo_blades
Mm-hmm. No, those are good. Yeah. Yeah.
00:21:44
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, it was good.
00:21:46
echo_blades
yeah I've been watching a lot of Landman lately.
00:21:48
Denis Tyrell
then It was so good this week.
00:21:50
echo_blades
So, uh, I just started right. Yeah. I haven't seen the, I'm like on three or four. I've kind of let them stack up a little bit. So, um, I'll probably be caught up this week, but those are a lot of Fort Worthy, uh, scenes in there.
00:22:06
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:22:06
echo_blades
So, um, I'm getting fired up there. Um, yeah.
00:22:10
Denis Tyrell
ah This week's episode is probably one of the best they've had.
00:22:10
echo_blades
And then you'll get,
00:22:13
echo_blades
Okay. I'm almost there.
00:22:14
Denis Tyrell

00:22:15
Denis Tyrell
I won't spoil but spoil it. but
00:22:19
Denis Tyrell
Someone said this was the the season finale. Someone told me that today, but I didn't think they've had enough episodes yet.
00:22:27
echo_blades
Yeah, I don't know. Like i said, i just started watching Mike on three or four right now. so But yeah, that's a great Uh-huh. great show
00:22:34
Denis Tyrell

00:22:47
Denis Tyrell

00:22:54
echo_blades
Hmm.
00:22:56
Denis Tyrell
it's totally i So far, it's totally different than Game of Thrones. But it's kind of like the precursor, and it's just like an off story. But I mean, obviously they have some of the houses in it and stuff, but so far it's interesting.
00:23:14
echo_blades
This is not the one that did the recent one that they've done.
00:23:14
Denis Tyrell
So.
00:23:16

00:28:28
Denis Tyrell
Oh.
00:28:29
echo_blades
You've never heard of that?
00:28:31
Denis Tyrell
I didn't know you could actually.
00:28:31
echo_blades
Arizona, Phoenix area has about eight or nine stadiums. So half of the league does spring training in.
00:28:37
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. I didn't know you could watch them. I didn't know that was something you could go and do.
00:28:41
echo_blades
Oh, it's a huge thing. Oh, it's a huge thing. It's like a month long of games. have like a little mini season, the Cactus League, it's called. And then I think the, ah what is the Florida called? It's the, I don't know, something Florida.
00:28:56
echo_blades
God, I can't believe that's escaping me right now.
00:29:00
Denis Tyrell
The Rose Bowl?
00:29:01
Denis Tyrell
I don't know.
00:29:01
echo_blades
Oh, fuck.
00:29:02
echo_blades
dude fuck I'm going to get fired for that.
00:29:05
Denis Tyrell
Oh, yeah. So you're going to go and watch baseball games.
00:29:08
echo_blades
Yeah, I'll go to, so it's, it's super cool because the stadiums are hella small. You can buy like just, uh, lawn seats and then just walk around the stadiums. Uh, get to see all kinds of different teams. You're not ever going to see, you know, normally, um, if you're like a super Hoover baseball fan, you can see all the prospects and stuff. Cause the the main guys only play a little bit.
00:29:31
echo_blades
Um, lot of golf there's, so every time I go, I do a bunch of golf and, then and, and baseball and, uh,
00:29:37
Denis Tyrell
Hmm.
00:29:38
echo_blades
Yeah, it's good time.
00:29:38
Denis Tyrell
You've been before?
00:29:40
echo_blades
Oh, yeah, I used to go shit prior to the day um the world shut down, March 17, 2020. I had a flight scheduled to go there.
00:29:51
echo_blades
I was supposed to be on a plane that day, and that's when COVID, everything shut down. Because if it was on the 16th, I would have been in fucking Arizona when that happened.
00:30:00
Denis Tyrell
you would risk You would have been stuck in Arizona.
00:30:02
Denis Tyrell
Well, it wouldn't mattered because they didn't have any mask rules or anything in Arizona. Yeah.
00:30:03
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:30:07
echo_blades
Yeah, it a little different, but so, yeah, I might do that too. We'll see though. What the hell is the name of that?
00:30:16
Denis Tyrell
I will not be doing that. I have like a week-long class the guy's coming for to make a sword in April. And then um
00:30:26
echo_blades
Grapefruit League. I knew it was something stupid.
00:30:28
Denis Tyrell
Grapefruit Week.
00:30:29
echo_blades
Yeah, I don't understand that, but anyways.
00:30:32
Denis Tyrell
Oh, well, makes sense to somebody. And then june June is going to be on top of us in no time.
00:30:43
Denis Tyrell
And I'm not sure if we're doing, we we were, we were contemplating going to Mexico in June and I i don't know if we're going to do that. um
00:30:51
echo_blades
Yeah, you might want to talk to Kim. she's You guys are pretty booked.
00:30:57
Denis Tyrell
I know. I know. But, well, I got to make some knives and especially if I'm going to have a table in Austria, I'm going to have to be cranking out some knives this year.
00:31:09
Denis Tyrell
So I got to like turn up the heat.
00:31:12
echo_blades
Yeah, I have to like seriously entertain that.
00:31:16
Denis Tyrell
I, I, Kim said you were thinking of going.
00:31:19
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:31:20
Denis Tyrell
Are you really?
00:31:21
echo_blades
I'm always, yeah, that's like, I won't, Lynn will not go with me though. So that, that a hundred, a hundred percent.
00:31:27
Denis Tyrell
Really? doesn't want to go to Australia?
00:31:30
echo_blades
That's not, I won't go if it's like, if it's a, she doesn't, we've never traveled a but ah like across the pond or anything like that. And Austria is not,
00:31:42
echo_blades
her space to her destination there. So, and, uh, you know, so if we were to do something, i would probably need to make it less about knives and just about a trip, do something that she wants to do.
00:31:54
echo_blades
So yeah, I want to go.
00:31:57
Denis Tyrell
are you gonna Are you going to get a table if we go to Austria?
00:32:00
echo_blades
I doubt I'll get a table. This out of straight fear, like, you know, like all of my, all of my heroes are going to be there, you know, like I don't feel like I'm up to par with that right now. Um, but yeah, that would one day I'd like to do that.
00:32:14
Denis Tyrell
Tables are cheap, though. I think i think ah last time I spoke to somebody, I think he i think Martin said they were like $140 cheap.
00:32:23
echo_blades
Yeah. I don't know.
00:32:24
Denis Tyrell
cheap
00:32:26
echo_blades
They have to make some knives though too. But yeah, I don't know.
00:32:28
Denis Tyrell
yeah That's your biggest problem.
00:32:29
echo_blades
As of right now, I just want to, yeah, I just want to, i just want to get there and go hang out and that'd be a cool time to go see all that.
00:32:35
Denis Tyrell
Right.
00:32:37
echo_blades
But, um,
00:32:38
Denis Tyrell
It's in a different location this year too.
00:32:41
Denis Tyrell
I think they changed venues.
00:32:41
echo_blades
Hmm.
00:32:44
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:32:45
Denis Tyrell
So I could be wrong, but I'm going to talk to Trey from Third Hill Customs. We're go to
Knife-Making and Golfing Updates
00:32:52
Denis Tyrell
have a little sit down Texas and I want to get, because he went last year and I want to get all the all the details.
00:33:00
echo_blades
Nice.
00:33:01
Denis Tyrell
Cause I got, I got other questions about it, especially if other people are thinking of going my, my questions about this are first of all, like I've never sold knives out of the country. So now I'm bringing knives and I'm like, how does that work? Like, do i have to to like, I have to pay sales tax? Like, well, how does that even work? And then if we're going to be traveling after or before either one, we'll,
00:33:29
Denis Tyrell
Like now am I going to have to check knife laws in all the countries that I'm entering and flying out of because I'm going to be presumably having a bunch of knives with me.
00:33:40
Denis Tyrell
so that's a pain in the ass. Um, unless I ship them home and that scares the bejesus out of me shipping them from another country who knows if they're going to make it home.
00:33:51
Denis Tyrell
So I'd rather not do that.
00:33:51
echo_blades
Yeah, and that's a scary prospect for sure.
00:33:55
Denis Tyrell
Maybe I'll send them home with a certain, uh, rainbow vested uh latino boy
00:34:01
echo_blades
Dude, I can't wear the rainbow vest anymore. Yeah, can't. This is.
00:34:07
Denis Tyrell
what do you mean you can't oh well that's a nice problem to have i'll bring you a pillow you can stuff under your chest
00:34:07
echo_blades
Yeah, that's I can't wear the vest anymore. It's it's too big. Yeah, it is a nice problem to have. It's apparent on the... Yeah, it's a fucking bummer, dude.
00:34:23
echo_blades
it was the season of the best this year. i you know And now look at me. I'm in this gray one that's too big now. so
00:34:30
Denis Tyrell
Wow.
00:34:30
echo_blades
Yeah, it's a bummer.
00:34:31
Denis Tyrell
Look at you just fading away.
00:34:33
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:34:35
Denis Tyrell
It's all coming out your beard. Is that the problem?
00:34:38
echo_blades
Yeah, it's fucking... I was on my head hanging low like I'm depressed.
00:34:46
Denis Tyrell
Oh, well, we should talk about maritime knife supply because that man unfortunately is not going to blade Texas, but, uh, we will see him, hopefully in Atlanta.
00:34:46
echo_blades
Oh, goodness gracious.
00:34:57
echo_blades
No.
00:35:00
Denis Tyrell
Mr.
00:35:00
echo_blades
Yep.
00:35:01
Denis Tyrell
Lawrence Lake of Maritime Knife Supply. if you guys need anything for knife making, steel, abrasives, handle material, epoxy tooling equipment, you name it, he's got everything.
00:35:17
Denis Tyrell
Let's go check him out, Maritime Knife Supply, and tell him his boys Dennis and Jared sent you over.
00:35:24
echo_blades
Absolutely.
00:35:26
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. So yeah, it's too bad you won't be there, but I'm not surprised.
00:35:27
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:35:30
Denis Tyrell
What would you say is going to be vacationing?
00:35:32
echo_blades
Yeah. I don't know if I'll tell it, say where, but yeah, yeah. He's going to be, vacationing and doing that, which I fully support, man. That is the hardest working dude.
00:35:41
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, absolutely.
00:35:42
echo_blades
I, I know i used to think I could, uh, there was a time where I would, it was definitely, uh, on that type of level, but that fool's a grinder. He's, he's absolutely a full bore all the time.
00:35:54
echo_blades
So, um,
00:35:55
Denis Tyrell
Well, because he does he does the accounting on, was going to say on the side, that's his main gig, but I think that's going to heat up soon. So he's probably vacationing before the, this is the, before the, you know, the eye of the storm kind of thing.
00:36:07
echo_blades
yeah. Is it the same tech season? Is it the same tech season in, huh?
00:36:11
Denis Tyrell
What's it? Yeah, but he does mostly corporate tax and that's probably fiscal year stuff, not calendar year.
00:36:13
echo_blades
Oh, okay.
00:36:18
Denis Tyrell
So that's probably like... calendar year, April-ish kind of thing. I mean, sorry, fiscal year, April-ish. So a lot of that stuff's going to warm up in another month or two, I would guess.
00:36:25
echo_blades
Gotcha.
00:36:30
echo_blades
Gotcha. All right.
00:36:33
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.

New Grinder Attachment Development
00:37:02
Denis Tyrell
the like you know the the the portraits kind of thing were a little off that one was dead on like it was jared yeah for sure
00:37:10
echo_blades
Yeah, that was me. It was kind of weird, but it was like it was cool. it was If I was to play the fucking video of me actually doing it, which I i just i never posted, but ah it was like but strikingly almost yeah
00:37:24
Denis Tyrell
you know I think you even got your mannerisms in that video.
00:37:29
echo_blades
almost. Yeah. Even the hole in one, because it was a one bounce popper in just like that. i was like, oh my God, that weird. And then I was looking around like, ah It was good. It was fucking it was really cool.
00:37:42
echo_blades
I enjoyed it.
00:37:44
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, it was good. So golf, huh how many how many times are you going to golf?
00:37:47
echo_blades
Well, knife making and golf.
00:37:49
Denis Tyrell
Four or five?
00:37:51
echo_blades
No, I just golf on the weekends. Just Saturday, Sunday in the mornings and then hit the shop. so
00:37:57
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, but I've heard you do like 27 holes in a
00:37:58
echo_blades
That's all I got.
00:38:00
Denis Tyrell
twenty seven holes in a day
00:38:02
echo_blades
Oh, there yeah, I have. It's not 27-hole weather right now, buddy. It's it's grinding. I did nine. ah Jared and I bitched out after nine holes last weekend on Sunday.
00:38:14
echo_blades
it's free It's fucking cold. It's not it's a it's a just kind of staying staying locked in and and trying to get some value out of ah that investment that I made. So that's good.
00:38:25
echo_blades
Oh, do I do have a club fitting on Thursday, though, for a hole.
00:38:29
Denis Tyrell
A club fitting.
00:38:30
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:38:30
Denis Tyrell
What are you fitting it to?
00:38:32
echo_blades
Me. The most important thing. Oh,
00:38:36
Denis Tyrell
I almost sent you a video today. Have you you ever watched those those videos on like Instagram of like the
00:38:45
Denis Tyrell
whack fuck videos? you ever sit You ever watch those?
00:38:47
echo_blades
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:38:47
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:38:47
echo_blades
Oh, yeah.
00:38:48
Denis Tyrell
So there was one that was just fucking hilarious. And I thought of you. So this goes out to Jeff and Jared Jr. If you guys ever get a video, a whack fuck video of Jared, I will pay top dollar for that.
00:39:08
Denis Tyrell
I would like a whack fuck video. Not that kind of whack fuck.
00:39:12
echo_blades
I don't know oddly yeah no geez no that's the line you just asked my god dang son dude what's the matter with you oh that's hilarious
00:39:27
Denis Tyrell
yeah that that's what i for the rest of you if you don't know what a whack fuck video is someone waxed the ball then it smacks into something comes back hits them in the head and they yell fuck they're pretty funny
00:39:37
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:39:41
echo_blades
It's pretty good. Yeah. No, I get a lot of golf videos from a lot of people. That's the, the, yeah.
00:39:45
Denis Tyrell
i bet you do
00:39:46
echo_blades
Yeah. So that's pretty cool. But yeah, I'm actually stoked about that fitting. So I get to go out and try a bunch of clubs and figure it, figure that out. And it's obviously going make me a better golfer. So, duh.
00:40:00
echo_blades
And then see if I, how about, yeah. Yeah.
00:40:06
echo_blades
But yeah, i want to get those. um' I'm to get those those knives etched tomorrow and then see how much progress I can make on those and move on to the next thing.
00:40:19
echo_blades
So it's pretty low key here right
00:40:19
Denis Tyrell
See, here's the problem. now Now you left them in the case. Now you're going to have to go back and touch them up and like buff them again.
00:40:26
echo_blades
What do you mean
00:40:28
Denis Tyrell
Because you buffed them, right, in my place.
00:40:31
Denis Tyrell
But then you wrapped them in a towel and you put them back in the case and you're going to take them out. They're gonna have little more.
00:40:31
echo_blades
mean?
00:40:34
echo_blades
They're still in the towel.
00:40:36
Denis Tyrell
All right. Make sure they don't have little scratches on them.
00:40:37
echo_blades
Yeah. Yeah, I shouldn't. They're on a micro, the whatever that shit's called, that scratchless cloth stuff. I don't know. I'll check it out. but Yeah, no, that's why I didn't start it that day because I had to do some other stuff. and um Yeah, tomorrow's the day.
00:40:55
Denis Tyrell
Alright, get it done.
00:40:57
echo_blades
Yep.
00:40:58
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, I gotta do that um stainless sand mine. Those are always a bit of a pain in the ass because you can only etch them for like a minute.
00:41:08
echo_blades
Oh, really? Hmm.
00:41:09
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. Yeah. They're a pain in the butt. Because if you etch them longer than that, you'll start to pit the the stainless.
00:41:17
echo_blades
The cladding?
00:41:18
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, the cladding.
00:41:19
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:41:19
Denis Tyrell
And then it looks like dog shit.
00:41:22
echo_blades
Hmm.
00:41:23
Denis Tyrell
So you got to hope it goes really dark in the first minute and then take it out.
00:41:28
echo_blades
Interesting. Yeah, I've never done one, so this will be my first first shot through it.
00:41:31
Denis Tyrell
third They're usually not that hard, but you know, there's always the anomaly. So, but I got to get it all, everything else all done.
00:41:40
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:41:43
Denis Tyrell
I mean, I'm going to be hand sanding hell for the next couple of days. So that's my, uh,
00:41:50
echo_blades
It's my sweet spot, buddy.
00:41:53
echo_blades
felt like that's all I did for fucking months.
00:41:57
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. But, I spent a good part of my day on the Ameribraid fastback two by two, a little of that two by 72 today uh, uh, doing handle shaping and, uh, using that amazing drop away platen. Um,
00:42:17
Denis Tyrell
ah to shape that handle. Just
Knife-Making Processes and Tools
00:42:20
Denis Tyrell
such a life saver. So if you guys need an amazing grinder, go get yourself an Ameribraid. Fastback 2x72 at ameribraid.com. They got all the great attachments.
00:42:33
Denis Tyrell
um And while you're there, check out the HyperDisk. It is ah um a disc grinder. It's a buffer. It has all kinds of other attachments that will make your life easier. So go check them out.
00:42:46
Denis Tyrell
um I even got to use ah my, actually I've been using the hell out of it, my new Wonder attachment. The horizontal three-way attachment um has been awesome.
00:43:00
Denis Tyrell
Very happy with that thing. And it yeah, there's still some learning curve to, you know, when to use the rests and pull them out and all that stuff. But it was a lifesaver, not having to change attachments because I'm a lazy fuck. um So, yeah, it's working awesome.
00:43:18
Denis Tyrell
Very happy.
00:43:18
echo_blades
Yeah, look it it looked cool. um I didn't use it when I was there this weekend. But yeah, it's a cool idea.
00:43:30
echo_blades
then The attachment part of it, you know, it being just a
00:43:30
Denis Tyrell
And now that, yeah.
00:43:37
echo_blades
just the attachment. Yeah, it's cool.
00:43:38
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:43:39
echo_blades
The video was good, too.
00:43:39
Denis Tyrell
Now that i get, Oh,
00:43:40
echo_blades
I actually watched that one. So don't tell me I didn't watch any. I don't watch them. I did watch that one.
00:43:46
Denis Tyrell
now I got one attachment with the 36, one attachment with a one 20 and then the horizontal one, which usually has a one 20. So I don't really even change belts that often. so I'm pretty, pretty happy about that.
00:44:01
echo_blades
cool you know when i when i was watching that video i think uh something unexpectedly i started feeling i started missing that whole journey of of this yeah um because like for the first year and a half it was like once a week every sunday i was there with jeff and we were building the grinder we did two versions
00:44:01
Denis Tyrell
But, uh,
00:44:15
Denis Tyrell
Fabricating.
00:44:28
echo_blades
Three versions. Yeah, we did the two versions.
00:44:30
Denis Tyrell
Three.
00:44:31
echo_blades
Yeah, we did two um ah two versions, and then we made the aluminum um version of that, the the same one, and then we used the air compressed tensioner.
00:44:46
Denis Tyrell
I don't remember three. i remember two, but.
00:44:50
echo_blades
Yeah. We made some changes to the to the very first version. it wasnt they weren't They weren't huge, but It was, yeah, I don't know man.
00:44:57
Denis Tyrell
Hmm.
00:44:59
echo_blades
There was one part where you were slide you're putting in one of the attachments and you have some clearance issues. And that just hit home with me because I remember like how many times we would we would do things and then we'd be like, you know, you're putting in the attachment you're like, clank, you're like, fuck, you know, like, yeah. then you had rethink everything and then how that affects all the other stuff. And it was just, it was great. I really wish i knew I don't know much now, but I mean, I know a lot more than I did during that journey and God, it would have been, it would be cool to take another crack at it again.
00:45:35
echo_blades
But, um, something to be said for, for buying tools that somebody else has already gone through all that headache though, too.
00:45:35
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. man
00:45:41
Denis Tyrell
ah Exactly.
00:45:42
echo_blades
ah
00:45:43
Denis Tyrell
If this attachment existed, let me tell you, I would have just bought it instead of instead of making it.
00:45:48
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:45:49
Denis Tyrell
So hopefully the boys over at Ameribraid are going to consider making this one.
00:45:52
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:45:54
Denis Tyrell
um So why if you guys if you like the idea of this attachment, go reach out to the Ameribraid folks and let them know that you want one.
00:45:55
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:46:03
Denis Tyrell
and they'll think about making it.
00:46:06
echo_blades
Yeah. They got my vote.
00:46:07
Denis Tyrell
um yeah when when Yeah, when I spoke about clinger tissue, I didn't show it in the video, but i I thought it was done. I had the camera set up for the final, um like the shot of me like using it and showing it off.
00:46:22
Denis Tyrell
and I literally I'm recording and I'm like, Oh, and this one tilts and this one tilts. And then I get to the small wheel and I go to tilt it and I'm like, and you would have heard a, for fuck's sake.
00:46:33
echo_blades
I was going to say, I feel like you robbed us of a a fuck snake, dude. How dare you?
00:46:38
Denis Tyrell
Cause it was the only one that I didn't test that it went in far enough. Like I knew it tilted and it did everything perfect, but it just, it didn't have a clearance to go in.
00:46:49
Denis Tyrell
uh, Yeah, and that turned into another four hours of ah ripping all those rests apart and redoing the...
00:46:49
echo_blades
Oh,
00:46:55
echo_blades
God.
00:47:00
echo_blades
Oh, man, I know that. I know that so well, dude. And then for a for me, though, when that shit would happen, it would be a complete daybreaker. And then i wouldn't I would have to sit on that situation for a week until I could get back to see Jeff the next week, dude.
00:47:13
echo_blades
So these things, it went on forever, dude. But I miss that shit, man. We we did a lot of did a lot of cool shit.
00:47:20
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. It's fun to make stuff and to stand back and admire your work when you're done. and
00:47:27
echo_blades
Yeah, there is something to that.
00:47:28
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. So.
00:47:30
echo_blades
Speaking of, yeah, that's what
Blade Show and New Designs
00:47:31
echo_blades
I did Sunday was, or Saturday, i had a tournament. And man, I was joking, not and joking, but I was feeling like I had an opportunity to win this thing. And I swear, if i there's some, about these the the pace of play in golf,
00:47:47
echo_blades
If you're moving things, you get in a groove and things are going and we were doing fine the first, um, the first, uh, nine. and then we went to got to the back nine and holy shit. It was like hit a ball, stand around talk for five minutes, go hit another one.
00:48:02
echo_blades
And then fucking Jeff, I don't know why he always does this to me. I think because he knows. But if you start talking about like where I'm at towards the end of the round, I'm going to fucking shit the bed every time. like All I got to do is just, if I bogey the whole way, you know the next three holes, which is you know not not difficult, but you know holy shit.
00:48:21
echo_blades
I literally threw that whole thing away. i I had a chance to win that thing. And on the last three holes, I like double, double, tripled or something stupid. I missed a fucking... birdie putt from like a foot and a half. Like, I mean, everything that could go wrong went wrong. And I ended up tying for second place.
00:48:37
echo_blades
And the way they do the the tiebreaker is who scored um the best score on the front or the best score on the nine. And somebody shot once one one shot better than me on the front and took second place. But I had first for sure if I didn't just completely shit the bed.
00:48:54
echo_blades
So that was amazing.
00:48:54
Denis Tyrell
That pacing thing, that's the same. And that's why I don't like playing doubles pool because of the pacing, you'll lose the pacing. Same with darts. Any of those games, pacing is super important.
00:49:05
echo_blades
Yeah. Yeah. You get to get the flow going and you know, yeah anytime I have the opportunity to, mean, it's the same thing with knife making, right?
00:49:09
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:49:14
echo_blades
You just, you get in the, in that groove and you're just moving and shaking and then you, something breaks up that concentration and all of a sudden you let some other fucking thoughts come in your head and you're, for me, I'm toast, dude.
00:49:26
echo_blades
I started thinking, oh maybe I'm gonna do this or yeah, it's, Yeah, that's that was a that was a shit show. I did win a Colstis to pin, though. That was cool.
00:49:35
Denis Tyrell
oh was it a hole in one and was somebody there to see it
00:49:37
echo_blades
So, no. I was 21 feet. Yeah. yeah God, that sucks. God, that sucks. Yeah.
00:49:47
Denis Tyrell
um
00:49:49
Denis Tyrell
um but uh tomorrow i'm going to be cranking open my even heat kiln in order to heat treat that that guard so i will be uh using the best kiln on the market so if you need a kiln for heat treating check out even heat family owned and operated since 1948 that's a long time folks that's a long time to be making ovens they know what they're doing They are building the highest heat treat ovens available.
00:49:49
echo_blades
So.
00:50:22
echo_blades
Yeah, geez.
00:50:24
Denis Tyrell
So go check them out. If you need a heat treating oven, get yourself an even even heat kiln. I will be firing mine up for that stainless Damascus guard tomorrow.
00:50:38
Denis Tyrell
But, uh, yeah, then, uh, and I, I know you, you were talking about, um, um, when you're at work and you're thinking about knives, you know, that's when you get jazzed for me.
00:50:38
echo_blades
yeah geez
00:50:51
Denis Tyrell
It's like, I'm, if I'm lying in bed and I'm trying to sleep, but I'm constantly thinking about the steps that I have to do tomorrow. That's when I know I'm in the flow.
00:51:02
Denis Tyrell
um,
00:51:02
echo_blades
In the flow, yeah.
00:51:04
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. I'm not going to get as much sleep as I should because I'm i' literally going to overthink every single step. But yeah.
00:51:12
echo_blades
Right.
00:51:14
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. And once you get those knives done, you're going to want to put them on the Drawpoint, which is a weekly newsletter from the folks at Skiff Workshop.
00:51:16
echo_blades
What do they see?
00:51:25
Denis Tyrell
ah It's a free newsletter built specifically to connect to makers connect makers with serious collectors. um no No social media BS, no throttling, no shadow bends, no nothing like that. uh, get your drops and pre-orders in front of a highly targeted audience that are looking to buy what you make.
00:51:49
Denis Tyrell
Uh, and the best part is it's free. So, uh, check out the, uh, the drop point. Uh, it's from the minds of the skiff workshop and they make some of the finest hardware for folders. So, uh, go check them out and check out the drop point.
00:52:07
Denis Tyrell
Um, ah yeah I don't know if I'm going to have enough knives to ah put up on the drop point here. I might be having to save them for for um blade shows.
00:52:19
Denis Tyrell
So I don't know how many I'm actually going to post. We'll see. I'm sure I'm going have a couple. But I might have to do another round of folders. And I got that folder class next weekend.
00:52:31
Denis Tyrell
So um I'm sure after that, the one with Mike V at Rick's place.
00:52:33
echo_blades
Which one?
00:52:38
echo_blades
Oh, that's not this weekend, the weekend after.
00:52:40
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. Next, next weekend.
00:52:41
echo_blades
Gotcha.
00:52:41
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. Um, and I, i will probably want to do, uh, a couple of those folders, those, uh, bolster release folders.
00:52:42
echo_blades
Gotcha.
00:52:50
Denis Tyrell
Uh, certainly I'm going to have probably a couple of those at blade show. So exciting to, uh, get those in the repertoire. Um, I was thinking about the mechanism for that, even though I've seen one taken apart, I don't know how we're actually going to do it.
00:53:07
Denis Tyrell
So, I mean, I know the basics of it, but I'm really curious how Mike's going to show us the mechanics of like the the bolster sliding. So it should be fun.
00:53:19
echo_blades
Yeah, i I would be in the way, so I'm not going
Family and Future Ventures
00:53:25
echo_blades
to participate, but i'm I'm interested in seeing how that works out for you guys because those are going to be cool.
00:53:30
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, it should be good. I don't know. I i have to respect Mike's wishes. i don't know if he's going to want me doing a video on these. um He might not care. I don't know. So we'll see once once I'm done with the class if he wants me to keep it hush or if he doesn't mind me doing a video on it. So we'll see.
00:53:54
Denis Tyrell
So, yes.
00:53:55
echo_blades
If it was in the it was in the better weather, I'd be out there. I'd go do something else and then come back and hang out.
00:54:02
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, it might be a beast of a weekend. We'll have to see what the weather's like. I'd be taking the Jeep for sure. Yeah.
00:54:10
echo_blades
Yes, sir.
00:54:11
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. I did hear from Parker this weekend, so he's doing pretty good.
00:54:16
echo_blades
Nice.
00:54:16
Denis Tyrell
And it's like, you know, 10 degrees in Chicago. yeah
00:54:22
echo_blades
Goodness gracious.
00:54:23
Denis Tyrell
marching around in the snow, but, uh, he's in pretty good spirits and, uh, halfway through this week. Um, as of when you guys hear this, he'll be halfway through basic training. So that's exciting.
00:54:37
Denis Tyrell
He, uh, wants me to send him some shoe polish and some deodorant. I guess the, uh, the Navy issue stuff isn't quite up to par, but, uh, yeah, he's in good spirits. And, I think he's, he's on the,
00:54:52
Denis Tyrell
He's on the the home stretch, so to speak. a lot of the stuff that he's going to be doing is going to be more interesting and more fun and less yelling and teaching you how to tie your shoes kind of thing.
00:55:04
echo_blades
Right, right.
00:55:05
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:55:06
echo_blades
How long has it been now?
00:55:07
Denis Tyrell
Four and a half weeks.
00:55:09
echo_blades
Oh, yeah. I think if he was going to bitch out, it would probably already happened now.
00:55:15
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. The only other thing that would, um, would cause people not to pass is them failing the physical part. But it's like, um, I think it's, um the run is a mile and a half in 12 minutes.
00:55:25
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:55:31
Denis Tyrell
I'm like, okay, for sure he can do that. That's nothing.
00:55:37
echo_blades
That's an eight-minute mile, dude.
00:55:40
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. Yeah.
00:55:43
echo_blades
That's moving.
00:55:44
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, but a mile and a half in 12 minutes is not that hard.
00:55:46
echo_blades
mean, I'm telling
00:55:47
Denis Tyrell
He'll be able to do that. um
00:55:49
echo_blades
you, that's an eight-minute mile.
00:55:51
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. And then he's got to do um
00:55:53
echo_blades
That's six miles an hour. That's moving.
00:55:56
Denis Tyrell
he'll do it. He's got to do a plank for like a minute.
00:56:00
echo_blades
He'll do it.
00:56:04
Denis Tyrell
And then he's got to do i think it's 40 pushups in two minutes or something like that. It's not
00:56:13
echo_blades
That does not sound too too challenging. Yes. Okay.

Denis Tyrell
Yeah, I might have the numbers slightly wrong.
00:56:18
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:56:20
Denis Tyrell
But yeah, he was not worried about it. I think he he had done all of those requirements before he went in because he knew what they were. So yeah, it wasn't bad.
00:56:32
echo_blades
Cool.
00:56:33
Denis Tyrell
So once he passes those physical parts, then there's nothing really that's going to cause him to, you know, unless he gets injured. So that's the only thing that would cause him to to get delayed graduation, but we'll be booking our tickets probably this week.

00:58:20
echo_blades
the video was just showing him like just fabricating something. And I, and I started checking it out and it turns out that what he was making is a, uh, a golf ball fire pit.
00:58:31
echo_blades
And, um, so I started watching him. It's a great video. And, ah at the end I was just like fucking totally mesmerized by what he was doing.
00:58:42
echo_blades
And I thought it would be pretty cool to kind of feature somebody else that does something a little out of, out of making, but still in the maker community. And he does like amazing sculpture art of, you know, and it seems to be a fire pit ah theme, but just, yeah.
00:58:54

01:04:27
echo_blades
I don't...
01:04:30
echo_blades
It's it definitely...
01:04:31
Denis Tyrell
It's just, it goes right, it's almost like a sleeve. It goes right up the the knife, like a collar.
01:04:36
echo_blades
Yeah.
01:04:37
Denis Tyrell
um
01:04:38
echo_blades
Yeah, that's probably appropriate. And it's peened out.
01:04:40
Denis Tyrell
And it's hand hammered.
01:04:41
echo_blades
Yeah.
01:04:42
Denis Tyrell
um
01:04:42
echo_blades
That's fucking cool, dude.
01:04:43
Denis Tyrell
Is it copper? Yeah. I can't tell if it's copper bronze, but it's hard to tell from the picture. It's kind of dark.
01:04:50
echo_blades
Bronze. It says self-made bronze fittings.
01:04:53
Denis Tyrell
Oh, it's just bronze. Okay, I didn't read it.
01:04:54
echo_blades
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:04:54
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, that's pretty badass. I love that.
01:04:57
echo_blades
Yeah, that's really cool.
01:04:58
Denis Tyrell
And I love the fact that it would be a nice transition for your fingers.
01:04:59
echo_blades
I have not seen anything.
01:05:02
Denis Tyrell
It wouldn't be like a sharp edge or something.
01:05:03
echo_blades
Yeah.
01:05:05
echo_blades
Yeah.
01:05:06
Denis Tyrell
It would feel really nice. And that's right where you hold the knife. I think that's a brilliant idea.
01:05:12
echo_blades
Yeah, I'm digging that. that I have not seen that. Really cool.
01:05:17
Denis Tyrell

Anyways, yeah.
01:05:20
Denis Tyrell
Very cool.
01:05:20
echo_blades
Okay.
01:05:21
Denis Tyrell
It makes me want to do a bolster, like not necessarily with hammered bronze, but to do a really um slow taper and then do one that goes right up to the blade like that.
01:05:35
Denis Tyrell
Maybe I'll try that on my knife just for shits and giggles.
01:05:35
echo_blades
Yeah.
