Forging a cable damascus US Navy Officer's sword 

This was a pretty tough build, but I'm happy with the result. What did you think of it?

As a retired USN Corpsman, this literally gave me chills and a lump in my throat when you did the reveal. This would be perfectly at home in the GW Captain’s quarters reverently displayed on the bulkhead (that’s wall for the non-sailor types). Might be my favorite thing you’ve ever made.

Very nice job! As a retired Chief Petty Officer, I'd love to see a CPO's Cutlass.

As a US Navy veteran I must say that any officer would be extremely proud to carry that amazing work of art. A truly remarkable build.

I am a Navy Vet. I was stationed in VF-11 in 1986 for the Med cruise onboard the USS Forrestal. This has got to be one of the coolest things I have ever seen! 100% Go Navy

That is a beautiful blade! And the fact that is was made from a part if one of the USN's vessels just adds to it!

The Thing i Like about this Channel is they Go into More Dwtails about the Steps in the Process more than Most othsr Videos.

A beautiful sword, worthy of the ship it's made from, and the officers and sailors it represents Also, thanks to your son for his service

Thank you for posting this awesome build. I have missed seeing more of your build videos, but your informational TTT videos are great. As a retired Navy Chief, I found this build inspiring and close to my heart. It turned out amazing.

Great job! I served in the Marine Corps and on ship, I learned sword manual(ceremony) using a Naval Officer Sword. Semper Fi. Thank you for making it to USN specs! Any thoughts on making the USMC NCO Sword? The major difference, our enlisted sword, has a curve

Wow! What an awesome sword! It really turned out! Thanks again Dennis!

CVN - 69 was my 1st command 06/1990 - 10/1994 great to see the ship again. Outstanding build!

As an active duty naval officer I can't tell you enough how amazing and epic this is. Thank you for that homage to our heritage. Would you consider creating and selling a similar one?

As a Navy Officer and a fellow bladesmith who was on the episode of Forged in Fire where the final weapon was this sword, I can only say Holy Crap!

Wonderful build Denis! The Sword came out beautiful, and is an awesome tribute to all Naval Officers! Thank you so much for sharing. 💯😎👍🏻🔨🔥🔪⚓🇺🇸

Wow. What a huge project - and what a gorgeous result. Wonderfully crafted! :)

So envious you got this from USS Eisenhower!!!!! Great build

Denis, I have been waiting for this buold ever since you initially teased it. It came out beautifully and really gave me some insight as to what I want to do when I make the savber for my father. Thatnk you for taking such great care and reverence with this build.

Absolutely beautiful. Being Navy Hull Tech, it really amazed me.

1st class work, great finishing it looks to be a capable sword ready for fencing if ever need be!

Great build! That thing looked like a real PITA to build.

When I was on the Eisenhower, it was cool leave little messages with "IB" written on them, which meant, "Ike Bites." But now, two and a half decades later, I wish I had a sword made from the arresting cable from the Ike. This one was very well done.

Very Nice! What are your plans for the sword? IMHO this sword should be displayed on the wall in the officers meeting room on board the Eisenhower! It should stay with the ship! You have made another blade that will outlive all of us. Well done!

Denis I have to tell you I don’t know if you got your master smith yet or not but I will say it again, you ARE a master in my mind! You put out some of the most beautiful work on RU-vid! Your definitely an inspiration to me! Also I just finished my revolution grinder and was able to test out your sharpening jig and I am now able to get the sharpest blades I have ever made! Thanks again for that and the awesome content!!!

I was stationed on the Eisenhower. Hated it then now I’m full of fond memories.

Absolutely beautiful and classy! Great Job! GO NAVY!

I served 10 years on active duty in the USAF before I was medically retired. I left as an NCO but I never managed to get an NCO sword before I got out…. Lord knows I can’t afford one now. I actually tried to find a Used USMC NCO sword for my brother-in-law to give to him when he had his promotion ceremony this past year but just couldn’t swing it. It was a cool ceremony for him though, his father, a retired USAF SNCO &his sister who served 6 years in the Air Force as well pinned his rank on. That was a really cool thing for the family memory for sure. My wife actually teared up a bit when he asked her. She knew it was him honoring her service just as much as his own promotion. I would still like to get my own NCO sword one day though. I know it has little meaning to most, but it’s something I can use to tell my son stories about what his dad did in the military a decade before he was born. I’d love to have been able to take him to work with me just once. So he could see me less like his old disabled dad that can’t do any fun stuff…

Such a challenging project Well done sir...👏 👍

Wow what a perfect blade!!

Beautiful man!!! Ridiculously beautiful!!! 💪

Perfect job man

Amazing precision and another beautiful blade!

As an ET, I approve of this sword. haha Really, a very beautiful build. Thank you for sharing some of your skill with us.

Beautiful work as always my friend!

The work is really beautiful, I really covet your machines!!

Glad to see it finished up. I know a lot of time went into it. It came out great.

I don't hate hand sanding. It's the most satisfying part of the builds next to the handle finishes. I mean...I don't LOVE it... but I'm a perfectionist with some ocd and I can't deny the way the "before and after pics" make me feel. I hand sanded my first knife for like 8 hours bc It was my first time hand sanding steel... I was learning as I went. Thank you for great content. That is a stunning sword, and I'm so jelly lol!!! 😂 keep it up, we love your content!!! 😊

Dude... one Of the best swords iv seen built on RU-vid..EVER!!! Fantastic brother

Very nice. I wish more people would work on US Officer's Swords.

That turned out super nice, congratulations you do awesome work!!

Always a good Saturday morning when Dennis posts! Let's go!

Beautiful piece Denis absolutely worthy of the Officers rank

As a new subscriber, I’ve seen some knife making, but your work is by far some of the best I’ve ever seen.. wow

arresting cable is no joke!

stunning!

I love the diy approach, using the replica was a cool move

Hi 👋 there Tyrell I'm so impressed how that sword came out nice job 👏 👍 👌

As a retired US Navy officer I would love to have this!

I was just thinking about when this video was going to be released, great sword!

As always! Another great build!!!

Now you're just showing off! Great work!

Oh, Denis, that's beautiful! Spectacular build!

Outstanding!! That was no easy task!

What a great restoration 👏👏

As expected. Nothing shy of excellence. Nice work Buddy.

Amazing build dude. That sword is beautiful. You got some great results for your first time casting.

Awesome project. I totally dig it

Amazing video as always, you are inspiring me to start making my own blades. Got some old leaf springs today so i just gotta start setting up a forge

I am really intrigued with the way you cast the guard. Very cool!

Amazing work as always.

Excellent work!

Absolutely gorgeous, great work

That thing is beautiful!!

Highly dedicated work ,class apart kudos 👏

That came out really nice. Long process but with every second !!!

That was one hell of a watch! Great build, hello from a fellow blacksmith from France.

This is beautiful Tyrell! God bless - IZ

I challenge you to make the Mameluke Sword that Marine Corps Officers carry, I’m a Marine Corps veteran and I love the elegance of that sword

Beautiful piece!

Excellent work, dear sir!

Beautiful!

Amazing work.

Awsome build. Your better than I am but I would suggest if you do the rayskin again to wrap it in string while the glue is still wet to form it to the shape of the wood. (Maybe soak it as well). Thats how medeival swords were done.

Just Fantastic!!!!!

Absolutely brilliant work 👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧

Awesome job! One of these days I hope to have a press to try something like this

عمل مذهل حقا و مميز ابداعك متواصل و شكراً جزيلاً على اضافة الترجمة و شكراً جزيلاً على مجهودك فن راقي

Amazing build!

Beautiful piece! Semper Fi

Excellent blade and excellent finish‼️

Again a work of art. I would love to have a saber like the one I still have but real and sharp

That's wild seeing one of these so sharp. My dad still has his in a closet and the only thing it ever cut was the cake at my parents' wedding. That's a great pattern that looks like waves.

You are Master, my friend!

Beautiful, as always. Have a great holiday season.!!🎄🍻

Stunning 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Awesome build

Well done!

Magnificent!!

Awesome job 👌🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

ESPECTACULAR TRABAJO!!!! GREAT WORK!!!!

It looks very nice

Amazing build! It’s a gorgeous sword Denis!

Nice sword! I like to see your work!

HOOOOOLYYYYY SHIIIIIIT that turned out nice! While I love a cheeky little hardwood handle as much as the next guy that mirror brass with stingray leather just hit differently!

Not bad for cable Damascus San mai. I really like the fact that you cast the fittings yourself. Those bevel and fuller grinds are great though especially with the complexity.

Amazing work ❤🥰

БРАВО, МАСТЕР ! ! !

salam bang ikut nyimak penempah pedang angkatan laut dari kabel mantap banget pedang nya bang 👍👍👍👍

beautiful sword and pattern

Very cool
