About Me
“The world needs more makers.” ~ RoyerX
Being from a family of creatives whose motto was to produce not to consume was etched into Kyle from a very early age and being educated at home gave him many opportunities to work hard at his own creative pursuits.
At eighteen, Kyle graduated high school and two weeks later received his Journeyman Smith Stamp and a rare double win of the George Peck Award and Bill Moran Award, “the 18-year-old prodigy”, “the blazing bladesmith” was what BLADE Magazine labeled him. Following that victory in November 2009 BLADE Magazine ran a special five-page spread “That Young and That Good”, the article went on to say “His ability to masterfully execute new designs, processes and artistic damascus patterns is remarkable. In spite of his young age, his fit/finish and attention to detail is representative of some of today's most known and sought after makers.” He was one of two to achieve Mastersmith by the age of twenty. His knives and his skills are highly sought after worldwide.
In the early years, if you weren’t at a knife show or a hammer-in, learning from the masters, information was hard to find, there was no online content and only a few books and videos, so it was a lot of trial and error in the knife shop. Kyle is passionate to teach makers his more than fourteen years of experience.
“The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.” We hope we can inspire you on your maker’s journey.
Thanks for watching
Enjoy!

10:32 Kyle, you are an amazing man that makes amazing scabbards, swords and knives. It's always a pleasure to watch your craft come to life. Still so much to learn from you. Thanks.
I love your videos man♥️, the standoff knife is lit AF🔥
Hey thanks my friend. Enjoy your vids also 👍🏻🔥☕️⚔️ Cheers
Dad
#SLAV _ YOUR HEAR HHHH
@@KyleRoyerKnives WHENS THE NEXT VIDEO!!!!!🦧🔩🕰️⛄. hope everything s ok, it's been 3 weeks now🥺🥺🥺🥺 xxxx
Mr .S. your knifes are amazing to . It's also nice to see you watching other craftsmen like your self. Good health to you.
Kyle, I find you to be one of the most genuine, and likable people on the planet. Not to mention...probably one of the greatest smiths of our time, and many before.
Hey thanks CrackHack.
Good to have you here hanging out with us all my friend
Dad
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels. It’s remarkably satisfying to watch this guy work.
Agreed. I have a maker crush on Kyle.
Feeling the love my friend
Dad
Thanks Max
Kyle
Amazing work but as a workable blade it is a one handed hand an a half sword.
I could not agree more!
Thank you, Kyle, for being such a kind and upbeat personality on RUclips during this period. Your videos are always a high point for the day, and also very educational as well as enjoyable. Once again, thank you for everything that you do.
I second that.
Indeed, it's the little silly things, a bit of fun here and there on top of the fantastic, art like pieces of work he puts out, that really makes me appreciate and enjoy this channel.
Hey thanks Ian. We appreciate all you guys hanging out with us all 👍🏻☕️🔥⚔️
Dad
Watching and learning. One video, one lesson.
If everyone had this level of passion and uncompromising quality in their work, the would would be a much better place. The velvet looks especially amazing.
Swannilization except no one would be able to afford anything
We all whould certainly sleep better at night knowing we gave our best to our family,neighbors,community, and our work 👍🏻☕️🔥⚔️
Good to have you here my friend
Dad
Thanks Swannilization. 👍🏻☕️🔥⚔️
Dad
I don't understand how Kyle stays so clean. Knife making always leaves me filthy.
Who gets excited for a new Kyle video in the same way as they do with a new Star Wars movie!!?
✋🏻✋🏻✋🏻
The levels of craftsmanship and humility are off the charts. I don't know who to praise more, you or your parents.
Thanks my friend. God is good and merciful to us all. 👍🏻🔥☕️⚔️. Be careful and be safe Roberto. Chao
Dad
Kyle, I love your attention to detail. You don’t cut even the smallest corners, at all. Also the production quality of your videos is very good. You inspire me to be the same.
Josh! We gotta talk about this video... DUDE! You do all the videoing and editing for these episodes, correct?
The way you shot this episode is masterfully done. Wow! You deserve all the props.
The cinematography coupled with the music you chose was so good! Seriously. You deserve much praise for this. I’ve seen you growing in your abilities and consistently improving - I know you felt this episode in your gut. You knew it was good, and I’m here reinforcing that assertion. Recognize the achievement of making an episode this gorgeous. Realize a goal met, knowing you still have room to grow even further. Revel in the feeling. Let it spur you on.
My hat is off to you, friend. Here’s an incredible example of the mastery of the shots and lighting he got in this video. 19:07 f******g superb.
It is nice to see someone point out the good in people- too often on youtube, I see the nasty people trying to tear people down. This is my zen space seeing him work, and reading your observations gives me hope that more people will be like you. Thanks for being awesome CorvinRayne.
I came to say something similar, but I couldn't have said it better myself!
I'm new here, started with this series. In such a short time the videography has improved so much. This is now a top class channel! You guys all deserve +1mil subs.
Edit: typo
Well said! I'm a fan of watching craftsmen on RUclips, I doubt if I'm alone in this: engaging and positive personalities taking raw material and producing wonder. Real life alchemy turning base into gold. Some are the silent type, and others need to talk it through, there's room for both.
The filming and editing are superb, and the sound and vision segments were mesmerising.
Such a pleasure to watch KR, thanks.
Aweeeee!!! Thanks, @CorvinRayne That means a lot to me! Yes, I do the videoing and editing for all these videos. I read most of the comments, and a lot of them are saying how awesome Kyle is (which he is awesome, and I tell him some of them!). It's a bit rarer when people like you comment awesome comments to me! I got a little teary-eyed when I read your comment. :) I told my wife, she says you're sweet. :D
I really enjoy making good videos. I watch just about every video we post about 5 times over while I edited them. I consider it a good video when I enjoy watching the video for that last and 5th time. I've been enjoying the newer music I've been using. It's calmer and helps tell the story of Kyle putting his soul into his work. It seems like a lot of viewers are also liking the changes, that's always a good thing! :) It can be hard to get recognition as an editor and videographer, especially when you are working with a brother who's talent is amazing and not of this world! So I really really appreciate you and all the people commenting great things on this post! ~Josh Royer
KyleRoyerKnives Josh, you’re incredibly welcome. I was so blown away by this video that I had to pause it and leave you a compliment and some encouragement. I know what it’s like to be behind these scenes while other’s talents are at the forefront, so I knew this was a moment that you needed this affirmation. You deserved it! 💯
You’re headed in the right direction, just keeping feeling it 🤍
I must say, beyond all the craft itself, I do love the music choice in these videos
I'm addicted to this build.
Feeling the love
Nicely built my man. Lot of skill and patience involved.
Great video Josh, awesome scabbard build Kyle, hello Dad, Mom, & other siblings!
Take care, stay safe and healthy all!
Hey thanks my friend. Everyone here says hey. Cheers from the Ozarks. 👍🏻☕️🔥⚔️
Dad
WOW ! That is awesome looking. Can't wait till it is all done. Great job
Man, how do you stay so meticulous and happy at the same time. Scabbard looks fantastic. Can't wait fore more vids!
Thanks guys!
😎👍
@5:00 that dirt will be a magnet to velvet and will scratch your blade when you put it in and out. I learned that when I made a velvet lined holster for my pistol. Alot of people on forum's screaming no. The best option would be the only point of contact is around the tip and at the guard, so your blade floats in the scabbard.
Love this part, the music, the videography, as well as the correcting Kyle saying sheath instead of scabbard.
Thanks!! ~Josh
Wow, I watched the whole series so far, all I can say is, beautiful. What a piece(s) of art, master piece. Videography is great as well, with a bit of humour thrown in, WELL DONE!
So excited when I opened RUclips and saw a new episode,!! Been my favorite series to follow
I'm glad to hear that Mr. Drump. ~Josh
You might not like leatherwork, Kyle, but you sure do an excellent job of it! That most definitely does not let the rest of the sword down in the slightest.
You're leather stitching is a thing of beauty!
Thanks
The quality of the work put into this is unpresedented. Everything from the camerawork, edititng and the craftsmanship of Kyle makes it a pleasure to behold. I am so excited for the next upload!
Gentleman - yet again props for yet again a great episode. I grew up in a part of the country where we had 3 channels to watch over the antenna, CBS, NBC and PBS. Somehow i found myself watching PBS most of the time, a weird combination of This Old House, The Red Green Show, Monty Python and Artisan Documentaries. This channel is somehow a wonderful combination of all of those things and I thank you for it. As a random note some of the music today reminded me of an artist called Sleeping at Last, super good. Stay safe and keep up the great work guys.
Tip for the supergluing..... add just a little table salt. When you clamp the halves together for drying as well as the super glue the grains of salt act like little teeth for stopping slipping around. Always a problem with supergluing.... just place the glue down then like you was salting your food... old cabinet makers trick but thought it would be great in this instance... beautiful work
I love watching this guy work. He's a true master. That being said, am I the only one that feels like he's playing the game with "big head mode" active? I mean, the guy looks like a living funko-pop doll!
Binder clips, Kyle. Here in the office we call those "binder clips".
The soundtrack went from full on rock n roll Alec Steele style in the previous episodes to Chef's Table in this one 😂 deeply soothing with the sanding yo!
Your attention to detail is masterful, Great video !!
Thanks roninnova
Kyle
It is always great watching you work. You are magic
Wow. I just love how everything you make is a masterpiece. The scabbard is fantastic, truly beautiful.
The cameraman is so good. This music is perfect.
Thanks Lego. Josh works hard to deliver awesome content 👍🏻🔥☕️⚔️
Dad
I love how he says scabbard, then goes on to incorrectly say sheath, then corrects himself with his prior self. xD
What channel is your show on? We be grammer. When you can do what he does it wont matter what you say. Give it a break.
@@joegutowski7782 Bruh shut up. Learn to take a light joke.
You’re both idiots. 😂🤦🏼♂️
@@joegutowski7782 I was being lighthearted, silly. You would think the "XD" in my reply would make it clear I wasn't trying being serious, it wasn't to mock and insult him. The little stuff like this is exactly what is so charming and great about Kyle, his work and his channel, thats why I pointed it out in the first place. If it wasn't clear already I greatly enjoy and appreciate his work ethic, skill in his craft and sense of humour. He has a great family too, they're all lovely people and I have had nothing but great responses and interactions with both kyle and his father.
Joe Gutowski chill brah
This is some of the best content on youtube!! love your work Kyle and josh!!!
Thanks my friend. Good to have you here. 👍🏻🔥☕️⚔️
Dad
I have been looking for this update like 5 times a day
Same
You guys are too awesome. Thanks 👍🏻☕️🔥⚔️
Dad
Hi, I really enjoy your builds. I thought I'd pass on a couple of items concerning your scabbard. You mentioned figuring out stitching of the leather across the opening of your scabbard. One way to solve this is by throating and tipping the scabbard. A throat is a metal fitting that reinforces the opening and slides down over the leather, concealing and covering the leather at a point where it could get beaten up by drawing and sheathing the sword. A lot of times, a design is cut into the metal so the leather shows through like a family crest or such. A development of the throat is a rain cap that fits on the guard and completely covers where the sword enters the scabbard keeping rain away from the blade. Tippping is wrapping the end of the scabbard also in metal and capped with a finial to protect the leather from being drug on the ground, or stairs, etc. Plus it seriously dresses up the scabbard. My rapier and main gauche set are throated and tipped and they look great! Wish I had rain caps put on, but I can still do that.
By the way, I would love to see your approach to a matched rapier and main gauche set!!!
I once contacted you guys to make me a estoc. Your mother was honest with me and told me the price it would cost. I can simply not afford it. Watching these videos is enough though. Your passion is sincere and not just for youtube. Go royer family!!!
Hey thanks Joost
Feeling the love my friend
Merry Christmas
Dad
Looking amazing. Super nice stitching
Idk guys, i think Kyle reallg is born to do this stuff. He's a true master. The kind that comes only once every few generations.
Hey thanks Juan
Thank you Kyle for making such amazing pieces of weaponry and art. I look forward to your videos all the time. We spoke by email a while back when I was just getting my start in knife making and you gave me a lot of valuable advice. Thank you for that. I’ve been able to make some cool knives cuz of your kindness. Keep up the amazing work.
As a Carpenter, it is interesting for me to watch a knife maker aply his skills while working with wood.
What a contrast this is from all the political aggressiveness, annoying influencers and negativity on many channels. This is so straight forward and "simple", just a patient positive dude who loves what he does. Need more people like this in the world.
Feeling the love friend
Dad
The scabbard is looking amazing 😎🦾🤩 I look forward to seeing the next few episodes of the sword evolution 😎🤩🇮🇪
Dude! (my horrible California surfer impression) I am an old, injured, and mostly home bound construction worker. I have worked professionally with metals my entire adult life. I have also worked with wood, mostly as a hobby, but often for income. I tinker. I build. I invent. (then discover that someone beat-me-to-every-invention, lol) I tell you this, not to brag, but to give you an idea of my qualifications for the praise I'm about to "bestow upon your worthy head" for your masterful skills. All of the extra time I have now allows me to watch RUclips's countless videos of some of the finest craftsmen from countries all over the world. I have been particularly impressed with the craftsmanship of Japan's masters, both in woodworking and especially their swordsmiths... Your attention to detail and your skills in working with so many different materials... "Just blows my mind.., maaan...!" (there's that goofy surfer, again) If this only your 2nd sword, (unclear) I can only imagine how great your 3rd, 4th, 5th..... will be. This is undoubtedly the most beautiful sword I've ever seen. If another great "Arthur" film is ever made, I hope the producers become aware of this sword. I imagine that even the one and only, original Arthur would be honored (tickled pink, I suspect) to carry this sword. I also imagine many Ultra HD close-ups of the sword! Very well done! Will you be naming your swords? This one definitely deserves one...
BTW, Did you choose poplar because of its stability? Ease of working? Just curious. (Oh! Your "clamps" are "binder clips"... they make the best "chip clips," too)
Wowzy wow. Thanks my friend. You’re very kind. Yes poplar is pretty stable, it’s local, and very nice to work. Copy that on the chip clips👍🏻☕️🔥⚔️. Be careful and be careful John. Cheers from the Ozarks
Dad
@@KyleRoyerKnives Thank you, for thanking me..., I am honored...☕🔪🧀🌮🧊🍺😎 (I once had a girlfriend from Fort Smith. She was without guile or deceit... I regrettably choose my career over the possibility of a happy home...)
I have never seen anyone take slo mo shots of wood being planed and make it so cinematic using music. Whoever your editor is, they’re good!
This thing is so epic, it is looking amazing Kyle! Great music choices Josh! You guys rock!
Thanks mate. Loving the stickers you sent. 👍🏻☕️🔥⚔️
Dad
You truly are a master craftsmen . You have inspired me to return to tool making after a long time off .
It's AMAZING that you are taking the time to put the same skill, art, & care into making a proper scabbard for the sword. That's something you rarely see (especially on RUclips) & definitely shows your passion for the craft. Amazing work good sir!
What a work of art and weapon.. 👏🏻
Your enthusiasm and animation are so therapeutic, your video editing and camera angles is top notch, and last but not least, your work is MAGNIFICENT. Thank you for everything you do. It helps more than you may know.
Thanks Michael. Just trying to encourage folks to step out of their comfort zone and step up to the plate (life) and swing for the fence 👍🏻☕️🔥⚔️. We’re there in your corner 🤪🥊
Dad
That was stunning work. Your patience, attention to detail and creativity are a joy to watch.
This is the only channel that i hit the like button first and watch the video later..
Whenever you upload a video of this series (Excelsior) I give a ❤️like❤️ first then i proceed to watch the whole video.
I subscribed your channel when i watched the 1st video of this series in that you explained how amazing this project is going to be and i believed you.
You are an truly amazing men

Amazing work Kyle!
Terrific work, as always, guys! Love the music too.
I love your work! Keep going!
Midnight new video release. Nice.
I love watching you sir! That video with your Dad is priceless! My pop is 97 and starting to loose his memory...he fought in WW11, Korea, and Viet nam. He has earned the right. Mom died 3 years ago...so enjoy them man. U sir are a master at ur skill and I admire your humility and mantra to”always try harder”... I would love to be able to afford one of your pieces. What beautiful work you produce. Thank you 🙏🏻 sir...

KYLE, I'M READY FOR THE NEXT PART LOL. HURRY BOI!
Coming soon on a bluetooth device near you 👍🏻☕️🔥⚔️
Dad
I don't know who i am to comment but ivory or cream coloured thread for the stitching would have looked amazing. Not that this doesn't. Incredible craftsman Kyle! I'm obsessed with watching your channel now! I've made the odd knife but would LOVE to make a sword.
Your craftsmanship is outstanding and attention to detail is a pleasure to see.every video a treat for the eyes and brain.one day I hope to afford a knife to pass on to my son when I'm gone.🤠✌👍👍👍👍
Hey Trigger you can contact us at royerknifeworks@live.com for availability and pricing
Dad
Really enjoy your videos. Your work is the level for Kings. I've not seen better.
I wish these vids were 10 hours each. Looking amazing dude! Excelsior is almost ready!
Kyle's personality is really funny and personable, but then his craftsmanship is so calm and precise and exacting. I say that because I'm really liking the approach to filming and editing you've developed: it lets the personality come through when appropriate then switches to a very calm, precise, pretty style to match the zen of the crafty parts. You guys are making a great synthesis of your skills for the channel. Cool to see the progress on both fronts.
Thanks Friggin. That’s Kyle most every day 👍🏻☕️🔥⚔️be careful and be safe my friend.
Dad
Great job. love leather work it just makes me feel the blade is so much more complete
Hi Kyle!! Great lesson on this build. ThankQ! Hope you & your family are well.🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 Florida

Shoutout to Josh, even though this video was posted 11 months ago, it still looks amazing
Thanks

Wow! This is certainly master level craftsmanship! Can’t wait to see this project finished! 👍
31:50
Excellent job but cream colored seam would be SO nice.
Excelsior is the Louis Vuitton of swords. 🙌 I have always wondered why there's no scabbard when you made the other video forging that viewtiful sword.
The scabbard is looking really good, love the way the stitching ties the whole thing together, really makes it ''pop''. Hey Kyle, I believe I''ve finally uncovered the secret ingredient to your success as a knife and sword maker, its the amount of COFFEE your drinking!!!!!! There must be some sort of magic coffee bean you are using in the brew!!!! Alas, as a committed tea drinker I probably have no chance of ever rivaling you. All we tea drinkers will just have to look on in despair and weep!! Regards from down under.
☕️☕️☕️☕️🔥👍🏻☕️
Awesome as always Kyle I love your work!
The attention to detail is insane. Also I did not realize that shark skin was so rough. Kinda surprised me.
Amazing looks great. 👌🇮🇪🇮🇪
Binder clips lol. Can’t wait to see the rest of the project!
Oh my God!
I can't believe how incredible it looks.
The time and care you take with every step is absolutely amazing, you can really tell that you don't have a "job" rather, you have a labor of love.
I am blown away from your meticulous craftsmanship.
Your skills are on a whole nother out of this world level.
The sword turned out elegant and supremely awesome ( to the extreme definition of the word)
I never knew that it was possible to make such an amazing thing out of metal.
There really are no words to describe the absolute jaw dropping spectacle that you created.
A major shout out to you and to your team for such excellent craftsmanship and pure love that you put into this thing.
Wonderful work.
Thank you for showing me what true metal workmanship is.
Stay safe and healthy out there.
Best wishes,
- Jonny5
Fun to watch a master of any craft work
This is always a high point in the week to watch your latest updates. My wife loves to watch too.
Feeling the love my friend 👍🏻☕️🔥⚔️
Dad
Absolutely amazing and I love that sharkskin. Dope AF. I would love to see you make your next sword with a stingray leather scabbard.
You are a great artist of steel. Love your work.
Half expected the cross section of the scabbard (wood part) to be oval/leave shaped, instead of the more rounded rectangle you went with. Carrying that design language through. Not that I have anything against what you did, it's fantastic. That's just what I expected. And perhaps with some swells when you look at it from the side. To reflect the swells when you look at it from the front.
Edit: People really underestimate how good just regular wood glue is when gluing wood. Anytime I've broken apart a wood glued piece it breaks the wood apart before the glue bond breaks.
Yeah slap some titebond III on it and it won't go anywhere
Good to have you hanging out with us all Ian 👍🏻☕️🔥⚔️
Team Royer
Wow, a tremendous amount of work but the end result was really good.
It is awesome to follow the journey of this sword!!!
You are very skillful blade maker i love your channel a one way I hardene leather for my wood hammers is the simple throw in hot water then it becomes elastic so it can be stitched then it gets hard wet it dries
So jealous. Looks great.
A while ago I watched a video of someone, can't remember who exactly, making a blade and a scabbard for it. When they were hollowing out the wood of the scabbard, they didn't make it perfectly flat on each piece. Insted, it was slanted, so that one side was deeper than the other, which left one side of the groove deeper. Same thing on the other half of the wood. Then, when glued together, it formed the perfect shape for the blade, but the sides of the opening, where the wood glues together, if you drew a line, were diagonal. This was done to strenghten the scabbard- the blade edge was not always running over the seam, but over wood instead.
I hope that made some sense.
Did they, aye
That is how japanese sheath for a katana is made (saya) - gives extra strenght to the whole construction.
okay Kyle, just to let you know, I just subscribed to your channel, on your way to 500,000 subs. and I gotta tell you; I like your personality, your sense of humor, and your artistry. you make absolutely gorgeous pieces! I saw the one video of how you made this sword, now I'm binge watching this whole series for Excelsior.
I have seen other bladesmiths on RUclips, or at least ones who would like to call themselves bladesmiths, turning ordinary household items like screws, etc into knives or swords.
there was this one guy who made a decent blade, and showed how sharp it was, but having already watched the Forged in Fire series and picking up a lot from that, I noticed a lot of stress fractures in his finished piece. as he was showing off how easily it was cutting paper, I was thinking, "Yeah, maybe, but I would absolutely NOT take that into a sword fight!"
You need a router table to round off your edges and can also hallow out the center of your scabbards.
10:32 Well thank you, so are you Mr. Royer!
Yep. Those are paper clamps, used them when I had my dreaded corporate job way back in my robot days. Dang, that stitching you did is tedious. That shark skin is beautiful. I've never seen shark skin leather b4, I love the pattern/texture of it.
@@maddawgnoll
I believe I will have to order some & make something special for it, it has a beautiful pattern.
There should be a picture of you in the dictionary under “perfectionist” ! Truly amazing work 👍 I didn’t expect you to own a hair dryer ! 😜😂
The production shots and sounds are goddamn poetry.
Your a true craftsman, just found your channel and I’m very impressed. 👍🏻
Hey thanks my friend. Glad you’re here hanging out with us my friend
Dad
Amazing work as always! That shark skin must have been a pain to work with, it looks very soft! You did a great job with it, maybe manta ray inlays would make it even harder to work with!! Once again amazing job and amazing video!
Well done. Understatement maybe. I'm with all the woodworkers here, offering tool tips like spoke shaves or routers - but Kyle is a blade smith. Master blade smith. Work with the tools you understand, muscle memory and all that. The end result justifies the means. New disciplines take time and energy to develop.
Spot on mate. 👍🏻☕️🔥⚔️
Truly one of my all time favorite channels on this platform. Love your attitude and the level of craftsmanship. I dream to one day hold one of your pieces in my own hands. I can only imagen how satisfying it must feel to hold one of these artworks. Keep up the great work.
Hey thanks Jerry. We plan on being at Blade next year in Atlanta 👍🏻🔥☕️⚔️
Come find us and we will have a COFFEE BREAK 👍🏻
