I am making one of the most beautiful Damascus recurve knives I've ever made! This was a many many week build with many complications that I had to overcome! So please enjoy this full knife build.
The precision through the whole build was astonishing. This is probably the most beautiful knife I've ever seen.
Hey thanks Blake
Merry Christmas

mindblowing
These looked pretty cool ruclips.net/video/6BsSjsOCzyI/видео.html
me too
I’ve been a smith for years and the skills involved in your blade making are, quite frankly, mind blowing. If ever a bladesmith could be seen as an artist first and a smith second, you sir, are that man. Thank you for sharing this with us.
😮😮
The patience to be so meticulous with your craft is honestly awe inspiring. If your knives were sent back in time they would've been regarded as legendary weapons
I mean, you don't have to time travel for that though
Send the cheapest knife you can buy off Amazon "back in time" and it would be considered legendary... What a dumb comment
@@RobsRobotChannel Nice bait lmao
@@RobsRobotChannel 'Dumb Comment' applies more to yours than anything else.

As a machinist myself, I understand the painstaking skill and precision this build. Outstanding!
Thanks

As a Non machinist myself, I understand the painstaking skill and precision in this build.
WOW!
There aren’t enough superlatives to describe how utterly amazing your craftsmanship is. So I leave it with one. Wow!
This was well worth the 33 min, I had no idea how much went into knife making. This was by far one of the best knife making videos I have seen, loved every bit of it. It is a masterpiece!
His is a beautiful peace of art. Most are not anywhere near that piece. I am impressed with the quality and products he used as well as the artwork involved. Very nice knife.
@@SVSecondChance check out shurap he a knife maker from Ukraine he a master craftsman
Yes
This is a museum piece, I am not sure who buys your finished pieces but they have an heirloom work of art many generations will enjoy.
Possibly the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

Now for me it was Raquel Welch

I've seen a lot of really well produced knife videos and this is by far the best. Not only did an obviously huge amount of planning and skill go into the damascus itself, but the video and audio just had me pumped the entire time. Stellar, stellar work.
Yes... he pays attention to everything!!!
You are not a blacksmith. You are an artist ❤
then how did he make that knife?
@@Everydazed Blacksmiths don't create knives. Bladesmiths do.
@@clamhammer2463 no shit
It’s a complement, dude!!!
Seriously, wtf!!!
@@moealsharif13yeah rght , he is talking about production quality
How is it that your work keeps getting more spectacular?
It must be sorcery.
It's funny you should say this. I had this weird vision of what would happen if Kyle were to be taken back in time and presented this to a medieval king or lord.
I came to the conclusion they would probably think he was definitely some sort of sorcerer, and the sword or knife would become a thing for fear and wonder.
@@SarmonOflynn I think there were a few swords and knives of similar quality, so if not sorcery then easily a master.
The sword of Goujian is an example of a never to be repeated level of mastery. Found in immaculate condition in its sheath over 1000 years old after having sat buried and wet for decades.
@@commonsense7754 That was the one I was thinking of. Though if I recall the reason it was not rusted at all was because it was stored in an incredibly well sealed box.
@@An_Attempt I'm not a bug weapons guy, so I am not very familiar with historical swords. But if i think of the sword Kyle made a couple of years ago, and particularly the wonderfully deep and unnatural colours of the materials thank to oxidation, I have (in my very limited experience) have a hard time believing that and ancient person would have seen anything of that kind of otherworldly quality.
I obviously could be wrong, it was just a feeling I had.
That is by far the most beautiful and well thought out Damascus knife I've ever seen. Hands down. Also, your music playlist was excellent. You should definitely post that for us. Well done sir
I got you

@Adam Nelson Nobody cares
I have gotten sucked into watching your content ever since I watched you tirelessly build a dagger for months. I just want to say that your level of craftmanship is absolutely astounding and the methodology to Damascus mosaic textures and attention to detail even finding a flow between the finished plates so that there is no separation is art. But along with the artform you also have attention to the quality of the finished product, a truly usable, durable, and long-lived blade with beautiful and elegant curves that only lend a joist between art and practicality as those curves bare a cutting edge that could never be rivaled by a straight edge. One day, people with a fine pallet of knowledge in knives will be peering through collectables and will stop their eyes on your work and they will ask.... "Is that a Royer I see there?" even if your insignia all but dulls from the metal, they will know your work.
The quality of the craftsmanship of this video brought me to tears, a masterpiece doesn't begin to describe this.
There are only two levels more satisfying than watching this video.
Owning one of your knives, but formost, being able to make one of those knives.
You have an incredible talent and a beautiful way of presenting it.
Thank you.
Man, seriously, you never fail to amaze me. What a superb build, that damascus is just epic
I have to say, this is by far the most gorgeous knife that I have ever seen. The profile of the blade, the contrast between the blade and handle, and the pattern of the damascus steel is all incredible! The amount of care and detail that went into not only making the knife, but also planning it out is astounding. And seeing this blade come to life from a couple metal billets has made this video all the more satisfying. Keep up the amazing work!
Your documentation of your process is a gift to all of us hobbyist smiths. It’s a lot of hard-earned knowledge shared for free. Thank you.😊
Everything from the Damascus pattern to the finish is world class. Thank you for sharing!
I am always in awe when I see you testing how solid is the blade after hours and hours of making gorgeous damascus pattern. Love this knife. Great Job!
I've seen alot of knife making videos. Some even really impressive. This was several tiers above the rest. This is the most beautiful work I've ever seen.
Hey thanks Fallen
Glad you’re here
Merry Christmas my friend
Dad
@@KyleRoyerKnives Merry Christmas to you and your family as well!
This is the most intricate build I’ve ever watched for the end pattern. I’ve watched ‘intricate’ smithing before but nothing with this result. Loved the watch.
My goodness that is one of the most jaw dropping pieces I’ve ever seen. You are a world class artist - not just a knife maker.
I have seen a LOT of skilled knifemakers in my time, but you sir are the best blacksmith, craftsman, knifemaker i have ever seen..!! Admittedly you have all the top equipment in your workshop, but your artistic knifemaking skills are second to none. With a beautiful leather sheath, that knife would be worth some serious dollars..!! Any serious blade collector would love to have that in their collection. Outstanding..!! Also a great choice of background music. John Norman, Perth, Western Australia
That is an incredibly beautiful knife. The amount of work you did is mind blowing. The detail work with the file is spectacular. Fantastic job!!!
Dude that is a pure masterwork. The pattern really stuck out in my head and I couldn't stop looking at it. While watching the presentation of the finished knife I found myself trying to use my mouse to move around the knife to look at it closer, I love it.
I want to make things like this when I can afford the craft. To hold and use something I spent so much time on would be amazing.
Keep it up man! You make some amazing pieces of art!
Simply amazing!! Your brother has gotten so good at shooting your videos. My wife and I both agree it was not only awesome watching you but watching the video was so nice. Thank you both! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
Awe thanks!! -Josh
I'm so glad you guys are watching this epic build! If you ever wanted to buy a course from us, now is the time. Everything is 40% off! www.learnknifemaking.com/
how much would that cost?
This is truly amasing work Kyle.
Seeing your work, has made me obsessed with bladesmithing. The best work anywhere I think. My house burned down so ill be broke for a bit, but Im Definitely adding a forge when I rebuild this spring and I'll be following you on here and Hopefully youll have a course going next summer. Keep up the awesome work brother! Im looking forward to seeing more of your metalurgical magic!
Gotta say im stil looking forward to the stainless steel experiment you spoke about a while back
can you do a seax? i think a change in blade design would be real cool.
I have seen so many Damascus and knife/blade makers on RUclips. But I have to say that your attention to detail and skill stand out above the rest. Absolute master craftsman! Live long and prosper!
If there is anyone who makes more intricate Damascus patterns than you, is like to see their work. Your attention to detail is freaking impeccable!
Dude, Kyle...I am memorized by your work. Your videos are some of my favorite videos across the entire RUclips platform. My wife saw me watching one of your videos and now she's a huge fan. Now we both sit together and watch your unbelievably beautiful craftsmanship. Absolutely incredible blades that you've made. We really appreciate you, your craft, and your videos. Thanks a lot, Kyle!
The quality of your videos has improved so much man. They are much more enjoyable to watch. As always, your work speaks for itself, truly gorgeous piece bud. Keep it up.
Hey thanks Dave
I love the videos and the narration, but that background music is so incredibly awful that had had to mute the video for almost half the time I was watching. Please choose something less terrible, or, better yet, no background music at all.
Your attention to details is remarkable. Also love the filing work and their symmetry on the spacers. Beautiful knife.
And the camera work is also great, good angles and shots always sharp, well filmed and put together, kudos as well
You are seriously one of the only knife makers who is just as good at the woodworking aspect as the metalworking. There's some beautiful blades out there with terrible handles from other youtube channels that drive me nuts when they slap on 2 scales and barely put any thought into the finishing aspect or shaping to fit an actual hand.
Without a doubt the highest level of craftsmanship I’ve ever seen. Amazing!
Also really dug the music. Does anyone know the artist(s)?
In this world of disposable plastic everything, it’s heartening to see that there are still a handful of Master Craftsmen like yourself out there. Amazing work. 👍
Hey thanks
@@KyleRoyerKnives just curious, I don't know anything and it's completely gorgeous, but can you explain to me why you wanted the pattern distorted somewhat down the length of the blade? Why did you forge it into a knife shape at all instead of just grinding it down to that shape and keeping the pattern completely steady?
❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊
I don't know why you do not have millions of subscribers.. There is a lot of people missing out in some fine bladesmithing. I appreciate the content and thank you. I would love one day to possibly come to your shop and make a 2 day build.
The outcone is incredable! I would never be able to make such a masterpeice like this
you gotta start believe in yourself
You can with Knifemaker Plus!
I'm just so amazed by your skill and your willingness to share your process. I think that if you had lived in olden times they would have burnt you at the stake for producing objects of such unearthly beauty. Humans can be so ingenious and creative. If only we could focus our energies in positive ways like you Kyle.
это шедевр такие вещи требуют высокую похвалу это то что и после двести лет этот кленок будит таким же восхитительный как и сейчас спасибо мастеру своего дела .....
What a gorgeous knife! I always love seeing what new ideas you’ll come up with for your Damascus patterns.
OMG, Kyle! This is gorgeous pattern. You are a Zen Master. 😎
Your stuff is art. I am an artist and I think your work belongs in an art exhibition. It is beautifully made and very high-end. As an artist, I am inspired by your work. Be well.
Within a craft, where there are the craftsmen, the apprentices, and the masters, you sir, earned the title of a master of your craft for sure. I am sure, that keeping up the excellence to such a high degree is a hard game.
Incroyable travail . Je n'ai jamais vu un tel travail aussi méticuleux et une réalisation aussi parfaite !!!!!! BRAVO
This is definitely my new favourite knife build! The attention to detail that you put into the build is truly amazing, everything from arranging the "W" to get the best match up I've ever seen to the file work on the spacers so that the pattern lines up perfectly. The care and planning, even doming the ends of the silver pin that "holds" the handle on before using the hammer to finish the rivet. That knife is a work of art. Thanks for sharing it with us 😊
Hey thanks
I've had my mind blown with this as I never knew Damascus could have repeated patterns and just thought it has random patterns. These works of art by a master blade smith will be in museums and serious art collections hundreds of years from now. BRAVO Maestro 👋👋👋👋👋
Kiokoioñklkllkkĺ9p⁹9
in real non decorative knifes they are quite ramdom. you cant have damascus with such a controlled pattern. It is bullshit
Dude your weapons are so awesome that I use their pictures to be the examples of legendary blades in my D&D campaigns
Each one of your blades are beautiful works of art
Hey thanks Crowstep
Flame on my friend
Dad
Seriously that is a work of art. I'm a Journeyman Tool and Die maker. I love metal sculptures. What you did is over the top.
Thank you for your comment and commentary...very instructional. ❤
Beautiful! Probably the best Damascus blade art I've seen yet! I couldn't imagine what the price tag is.
Your work truly is magic to me man. The way you form and make the pattern is amazing and the knife is truly an work of art!
Your attention to detail and the precision of your fit and finish is remarkable. Well done!
Thanks
Merry Christmas
@@KyleRoyerKnives man I still have midterms lol don’t be getting me to that
Seeing the skin peel off is so satisfying ❤
That brought a tear to my eye. Absolute stunning craftmanship.
Absluteley stunning build! I legit get shivers up my neck watching your videos
Many years ago, I had someone like you create a knife for me to take back to Japan to my father-in-law. He was Samurai. The blade took seven weeks to develop, and I brought the knife on board the plane, where it sat with the Captain until I debarked and made it through customs. Your creation would have been an honor for him to hold. Great job! If you ever look up Japanese blades/knives I would like to see what you create. I am anxiously waiting to see.
the guys in japan would throw this knife in the video in a trash can, because you can not and should not cut damascus so many times , destroying the benefits only to achieve a pattern
I'm not a fan of Damascus usually but that pattern is stunning. The whole knife is a stunning work of art. I would pay good money for a knife like that.
Beautiful job.
I love your combination of forging the knife followed by finishing it with precision machines, like putting the final bevel on with a lapping disc and grinding both sides of the tang flat and parallel with the surface grinder and finishing the guard slot on the mill. As well as putting a convex bevel on it as opposed to just a straight bevel, which is quite a bit harder to do but is amazing if done well.
Your end result isn't just a knife that looks amazing but also one that is of very high quality in terms of being well heat treated, very functional, precise and accurate and well executed down to every detail.
It's my first time finding your channel and I'm definitely subbing.
The ONLY thing i would say is i preferred the look straight after the acid etch and before the coffee finish. I liked the shinier and brighter finish personally. But regardless it is still magnificent looking after the coffee darkening too!
Kyle looks *so* happy while he is working. He reminds me of Eddie Van Halen; simply bubbling with joy performing his artistry.
If you keep doing these sorts of builds, its going to be almost impossible to make another knife of a similar design which is more impressive. Your work really is amazing and as much as I would like to see more videos from you more regularly, I really do appreciate the time and effort you put into making your builds so exquisite. I hope one day I have the skill and patience to build anything even a fraction of the quality that you build, you really are a master. Thank you for showing what is possible.
Also, new mic? It sounds a bit clearer and with a bit more depth.
Possibly the most beautiful knife I’ve ever seen. Thanks for a great video of all of your processes as well! Wondering what price a knife like this goes for.
i enjoyed this video so much. not just watching this beautiful piece of art become alive but also the awesome tracks you picked. fantastic :) i wish yall a reat day and to those who may have a bad one - keep on going!
You explain your craft so well that this could start up people to go to metal working, which is awesome!
That is a masterpiece, it deserves to spend the last of its days in a museum.
Você está de parabéns!
Esta faca é uma obra de arte em todos os detalhes.
O aço trabalhado com exímia habilidade, o corte, o acabamento, o cabo de madeira lindíssima.
Esse trabalho não tem preço!
OLHA O TRABALHO QUE DA FAZER UMA FACA COMO ESTA, BEM FEITA, BONITA, BEM ACABADA, POR ISSO O PREÇO É ELEVADO,
***I'm so glad I came upon this video and channel*** This was an amazing knife build and such an amazingly beautiful knife. This is by far one of the best knife making videos that I have come across on RUclips and I totally appreciate it and can't wait to watch the rest. Also, you have a good voice for voiceover work, very clear and understandable. I am sure all your video courses are absolutely well worth it and if I could afford it I would be buying one right now while they are on sale!
Hey thanks thoms. Glad you’re here. We are in your corner my friend
Dad
@@KyleRoyerKnives vs
This is what a $15k knife - i cant even image what Weeks of a Skilled Smiths life are worth.
this guy seriously blows my mind! beautiful craftsmanship!
HA, I do mostly hand-tool woodworking, and I also spend tons of time listening to audiobooks and hand sanding and have learned to enjoy it! Really enjoy seeing your work!
By fqr the best looking knife ive ever seen. Wow.
well
thought i've seen it all , but this is different league ..
just sat for at least 10 minutes graspring what i've just watched. Just amazing !
this is museum stuff.
That is a magic item. Not one person can convince me otherwise. Incredible work!
This is the most beautiful blade I have ever seen. You, sir, have magic in your hands.
It is truly therapeutic to watch a real Craftsman give artistic expression to his passion, thanks and WOW....
👍 😊😮
You are a true craftsman! I’ve seen Damascus blades in West Germany in 1975 and they were beautiful. Yours surpassed their blades easily.
This is one of the most beautiful knives I've ever seen. Excellent job! You are an amazing craftsman and I love your focus & attention to detail. 👍❤
This is beautiful craftsmanship at it's finest, and as a machinist myself, the part of the video using an endmill in the chuck made me smile!!-)))
حرفة متقنة للغاية أنا دمشقي وأفتخر بذلك شكرا لك على هذه التحفة الرائعة أتمنى أن أمتلك مثلها 👍
This has got to be the most beautiful knife I have ever seen.
Hey thanks
Merry Christmas
Sir you made 8th wonder of the world,,,,,,,I never seen greatest knife as like this in my life,,,,,,,
I've never wanted to do this myself but I love watching other people doing it.
Other knife makers I consider master knife makers, Tyrell, Harpia, but you are the best. You spend the extra effort, go the extra mile, to achieve the flawless designs. It is a joy watching you, keep on keeping on. I will watch.
Hands down best looking blad I've ever seen
I love it how in this "throw away society" some people still take great pride in what they do. It's a lot better for our planet too....buy one good quality item instead of a lot of junk. I am no knife maker, cabinet maker, or glass blower...but somehow it gives peace to my mind watching great artisans at work. Thank you for the amazing upload...and I wish everybody a healthy and happy life 😊
I love watching knife making vids, the majority of the time they are ASMR style which I enjoy. Thanks to the RUclips algorithm gods, I had the chance to watch this post which was the first time watching one of your videos. When you started narrating, my first thought was, “Damn, this guy’s going to be talking the whole time.” I’m delighted to report I was blown away by the incredible quality of your work on all levels!
* Your knife making is remarkable, you are truly an artist with meticulous craftsmanship!
* Your video editing is masterfully done, a great balance of camera angles, slow motion, and time lapse footage. Wonderful musical backgrounds, and your voice is very soothing, easy to listen to. And it’s clearly evident your editing skills have progressed dramatically! I watched some of your first posts and it’s a night and day contrast…well done!
* You give just the right amount of explanation of the various steps in the build process.
* Love the humor and misc commentary you add (In one of your vids, you talked about your granddaughters visiting and painting your nails!)
I’m thrilled to be a sub, keep up the amazing work!
Hey thanks my friend. Glad you are here hanging out with us all.
Dad
All I can say is DAM'N THAT'S A BEAUTIFUL KNIFE!!!! KYLE, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHOWING US YOUR BEAUTIFUL TALENT, SUCH DETAIL, WONDERFUL
I initially assumed the pattern was just printed on to the knife because I couldn't imagine anyone investing so much time and effort into creating it layer by layer. I am in owe and respect.
I have a fever right now..Watching this wonderful divine creation just relieved me. 😊😊
I was truly mesmerised and hypnotize watching this. Just fabulous. Love from BANGLADESH 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
For someone that young, your skill is off the charts!
Good God 🤯 - that’s gorgeous and the attention to detail of the guard is unreal.
WOW Fit and finish are unmatched! You add complimenting details in ways that make it not too much, but still extraoreinary.
You are the ultimate definition of an artisan.....hats off I am amazed
This is just an amazing knife, the time and skill that went into creating such a beautiful place. I commend you OUTSTANDING!!!
That is without a doubt the most beautiful knife I have ever seen! You sir are an artist of the highest order!
You are a GOD of smithing 😮😊❤❤❤.
Thank you so much!. Now I know what I will be doing if I get to retire 😁....
OMG 🤯... You had me with the picture for your video... That blade is a must have for me!. That's why I know I can't quite afford it until I keep saving 😊
Man hats off 👏, no words to describe but thank you.
Not un ordinary knife..but a MASTERPIECE
dude, you're like an artist, a scientist, AND an athlete
This is the best knife I ever seen made. You are a true artist
I am awed by the skill displayed in the making of this knife.
Hey thanks
