After the Blade show is over, Mastersmith Kyle Royer gets right to work forging out twisted damascus steel. Making simple twist damascus steel is very fun, and you can learn how to make knives, Once he is done forging he will grind the blade of the knife, make his handle fit like a glove, sharpen the knives, and he will have a beautiful functional knife. Kyle never made Tanjiro’s Katana, but he made mosaic longsword. Kyle got to use Ilya’s hammer he gave him at Blade Show, while he forged out the damascus steele for his blades that he will turn into knives.
Knifemaking is fun, you can learn how to make knives and forge out blades, and grind your knives, and master the art of Bladesmithing at your own shop with a hammer and a forge.

I'm excited for the monthly membership
We are too Ben! :D
Definitely going to take an advantage to learn new things and I’ll be getting a membership for sure!!
You and man at arms are why I started looking as swords as not just cool but also art.
Last time i was this early the forge hadn't heated the steel to working temperature yet. XD
I watch a bunch of channels make pattern welded billets, and the difference between all of them and you, is that you TAKE YOUR TIME, and don't move too much steel too quickly. VIEWERS - ever wondered how Kyle's patterns look so slick? PREPARATION and CARE.
Copy copy my friend
Can’t wait to see the knives finished. Patterns are looking amazing! Kyle’s is amazing! That twist was perfect! It looked like hand made all-thread! Amazing! You’re not kidding about the Southern Missouri heat. I spent a few days in Rolla this week and the humidity was insane! Beautiful countryside!
Copy that my friend
Watching you work is a thing of beauty. 😎🇦🇺
Wonderful Kyle. Such Talent! Now to sit back and watch to the end! Wow Kyle unbelievable! I’ll use “This side”! Lol 😝
These are going to be stunners. Can't wait to see the handle materials. ✌
Sir,You are a true artisan of your craft
Thank you for sharing all of the projects you have and please keep it coming
Hey thanks Adam
Kyle
The Damascus pattern looks great.
Can't wait to see how these knives turn out.
Go Team Royer
Cheers BeeZo
A twisted w mosaic Damascus blade would be interesting to see if it is possible. Nice forging 👍
Hi Austin.. Do you like Quality Damascus steel with different patterns with very ecomical prices
Someone has mastered the video production forging! Thumbs up.
Hey thanks my friend
Outstanding job! Anxiously waiting for the next episode!!!
Time for a shop with Air Conditioning! The best smith on youtube deserves some cool air.
Copy that my friend
We like to chill while making sparks
Dad
Amazing how many times you are able to twist that hot steel. Super cool!
Awesome! I love seeing your Damascus videos! Cheers Royers! 🍻
Damn know I must wait to see the ground blade and etch, well good things are worth waiting for.
As always very impressive. Thank you for that video. I've been forging since April and I love it. I get my first press soon. I've been doing Damascus by hand
Awesome LTD
Keep Forging On my friend
Dad
I can't wait till you send me mine!!!
You can contact us at royerknifeworks@live.com for availability and pricing my friend
Dad
Really enjoying the comedy, Video shots/editing, as well as the forging.
Love the AMAZING work you do and I like the shirt you have on in the beginning :) :)
Always nice to see your craft
holy SHIIIIIT!!!! KYLE UPLOADED A VIDE00000!!! i'm gonna get myself a lil snack an sit back and enjoy :)
Kyle you are an absolute legend. I hope to posess the skills you have one day!
Hey thanks my friend
Keep Forging On
coffee break xD Outstanding video, great quality! Kind regards from Germany!
Always a pleasure to watch you work, mate. Say hi to your dad for me!
Feeling the love my friend
Cheers
Dad
Dude, that is beautiful work!
Love the w's
I recommend finding an old rigid 300 machine to twist that for you. That’s what I use and it’s amazing
👍🏻. Nice
Merry Christmas my friend
You are amazing and you have a wonderful family good luck👍🏻
Hey thanks F.S.A
Feeling the love my friend
Dad
Nice work mate, interested to see how the pattern turns out!
These pattern welded steel blades are going to look sweet when grinded down!
Awesome informative Video experience Y'alls God Bless Ya 🙌🙏
Sem dúvida nenhuma um dos melhores ms do mundo na minha opinião parabéns
Yu're a Beast! nice work!
Hey thanks brother Noah

Team Royer
Great video, very informative, love the pattern you have happening. You always use a forging press but never a power hammer, is there some reason for this? In some respects a power hammer would be quicker wouldn’t it? I notice Mum there in the background supporting her boys as usual, good on you Mum👍. Regards from Down Under.
I would think that the press would be better for mosaic Damascus, because the transfer of energy is much more controlled.
Thanks for the input Thomas, I see your point, having as much control as possible over the whole process would no doubt be very important.
Hey thanks mate
We don’t have a power hammer yet
Would love to have one
Chao my friend
Dad
luv it, say hello to the rest of the family & and everbody else aamof, chok dee !
Hey thanks jesse
Dad
Hey Kyle - a quick question - what kind of camera and lensare you using ? The quality of the image is like the damascus - top notch !
For those outside the US, 92F is 33,3C. That’s hawt! ;)
GAH SO GOOD
Muito bom !
Always been curious what would happen if you twisted a bar, squared it up in the press and then untwisted it.
Luar biasa...mantap👍
👍🏻☕️🔥⚔️
Super 👍🔥⚔️👏
👍🏻☕️🔥⚔️
How do I get into a monthly membership, I can make some pretty nice damascus, and knives, but your stuff is out of this world, so I would love a master class
Hey David follow us on Instagram
We will be posting all of the information on July 25
Looking forward to seeing you on board my friend
Dad
Kyle over here playing 8d chess with squares and grinding
I've watched you make various demascus so I wondered is there a braided damascus? If there is can the pieces that are to be braided have different damascus patterns or would they beome to muddied?
Good question Christopher
You’re spot on. It can be done and well. Too many tight layers can make a pattern muddled like you said
Cheers
Dad
The temperature here in Ireland is about 20 22 c and splitting the rocks in heat here I’m sweating like a demon 😮💨🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵
It was 117° F or 47.2° C yesterday where I live
That was a buttload of twists!
It's known quality of Japanese swords Kyle but you have to make the best and beautiful katana a non Japanese manufacturer can make
I heard of knife making in 2019 then learnt basic grinding with scrap scissors
Then last year I got some decent flat bar but I bought it extremely thick since I was worried about thinning the balde too much
Then I learnt 8mm is a bad and 3mm is good
Now with that 8mm knife its ~7inches long and when I went to design another knife which is meant to be smaller version of that 7 inch knife
The small ones rough sketch is the same as the 7 inch. But it feels right then I remember I heard from elsewhere that 7 inch is large
So what is the length of a normal dec knife and what is too small and too long
Hey awesome unknown, you are in a good spot
You’re asking the right questions. There’s no end to preferences with knives. Purpose of knife , local laws , specific purpose, all round utility , or cutting veggies.
You design it to your desire or your clients needs. I hope this helps.
Keep studying. You’re headed in the right direction my friend
Keep Forging On
Dad
@@KyleRoyerKnives thanks alot
Love your work Kyle, but only just came across this, any left?
Glad you’re here David
The knives will be released through IG
Check us out there
We do not sell damascus billets or bars
Cheers from the Ozarks my friend
Dad
Why in the world, would someone give this a thumbs down?
Logical explanations only.
So after u use the squaring die which way do you draw out the bar.......thanks for nothint
Did you just skip showing the cleaning of each piece of metal before welding up the stack or do you find that not to be necessary for a good weld? I've stuck to the super cautious grind each piece clean on both sides before stacking so far, but if that's not necessary it would save a lot of time to skip!
We clean them with a 1/2 wire out 120 grit belt then stack and wrap
Dad
Beastly forge press you got there. How many tons?
somewhere around 40 tons, but we havn't tested it so we don't know for sure. ~Josh Royer
Hey Austin
Around 60T with the pressure relief turned up but we have it feathered way back. Having so much psi allowed us to make the dies larger than most presses.
Never did paint the poor lil thang.
Chao
Dad
bigger your stack the better it holds heat if you take a thin stack to the press it will loose heat fast .
kyle... can you please make another sword? i'm talking about an excelsior level sword... damascus black with an ivory handle.. AND EMERALD GREEN TRIM AND GOLD INLAY!!!!!
your swords are true works of art, i wish i could commission one from you, watch it rise in value as i grow old... they're gonna be prized antiques one day, owned by privilaged few.
Amazing work. Really wish to you forging a KATANA 😊😊😊😊😊
Why doesn’t the sheet metal forge weld with the rest of the billet? Is it a different kind of sheet metal?
Good question M. We don’t press the metal in that direction till the billet is welded the other direction. Chao
Dad
Great job as you always! Do you have any plan to make subtitles for global viewer? I'm a Korean. ^^
I don't have a translator for that. :( Would you like to volunteer ;) :P ~Josh
@@KyleRoyerKnives Great honor!! but my english is not good. LOL 😚
Never drink from the wrong side of the coffee cup or you'll get coffee all over you lol
Copy copy
@@KyleRoyerKnives the coffee joke was an old joke I seen on big Chuck and little John show from lake Erie , they done little comedy skits ... sorry I'm a little brain washed from the 80s and 90s tv ....
Good video as always. Hopefully will be able to follow you more closely if my house purchase goes well. Bidding on a house with an old fully functioning forge on the property.
Hey hope you get the forge, oh yeah the house also 🤪🥊
Cheers my friend
Dad
@@KyleRoyerKnives Haha. Yep think they will not let me take just the forge so hopefully I can get the house.
Did it work out?
What did they use for flux 1000 years ago in Europe when forge welding?
Beans? Intestines? Mud? It was mud, wasnt it?
Silica sand
peasants

👍👍
От души👍
👍🏻☕️🔥⚔️
You should reach out to Will Stelter, he just picked up a twisting machine that would save you a ton of labor.
Copy that
Have you ever thought about making a katana sword?
👍🏼
👍
More twisted then starwars cannon
Was that your new hammer from Iliya?
Yup
My forge is with me in charing my hands
What is the purpose of the sheet metal?
The sheet metal encapsulates the steel so that no oxygen can get in between the layers of the billet. That prevents formation of rust between the layers. Some smiths use borax between the layers instead. The goal is the same: to prevent O2 from causing rust to interfere with the forge weld.
@@Thomas.Wright
Thanks Thomas
👍🥇
Wouldn't it be easier to use a vice instead using a power hammer at least if he doesn't have christening his own she can hold on to the bars and walk around and twist bar easier
There’s a little more control of the billet in regards to symmetry and spacing of each rib on the twist
It may take a little longer this way
🥇
What the heck is up with that anvil? Did you weld a new face and vise into it? 10:00 mark.
We custom built our anvil to suit our desires. All A-36 with surface hardened welded top
Dad
@@KyleRoyerKnives
Improvised and block anvils have been used longer then the "London or American" pattern. It would be cool to see a video about your anvil and the history, where, when, why, and how come you built it that way. Just so people can see that you don't need a specific pattern to put out quality work. The craftsman is more important then the tool :-)
Do you make kitchen knives?
Yes, they do. He's got videos of Dad making them.
Yes we do Deacon
Dad has made quite a few over the last several years. He is currently working on a 8-9” kitchen knife. It’s available when its done. Check out Royercutlery.com
Team Royer
👏👏👏👏🤗
👍🏻☕️🔥⚔️
Instructions unclear. Ground all sides. Put steel in toaster. Electrocuted self. I can smell time and hear colors now. Send help.
Now you’re talk’n
Cheers
Can a Damascus katana be made ? Is that even a thing? We may never know.
Absolutely my friend
Y so thikkkk?
1st
Congrats! :D
@@KyleRoyerKnives question- is there a steel other than 15n20 that has a higher carbon content that could still provide a contrast when etching? I feel like a lot of smiths are sleeping on doing damascus with 2 baller blade steels. like, if you made a blade out of just 15n20 it would probably suck. what if you did a damascus with 1095 and (insert other baller blade steel). Maybe one steel has impact and abrasion resistance, and the other has edge retention.
@@fettmaneiii4439 15n20 is just like 1075 with a high content of nickel. 1075 is high carbon something like .75% carbon 2% nickel so 15n20 would make a decent blade alone and yes there are other steels like L6 and several others I have heard of!
Not sure we use 15n20
15n20 has a good carbon content
Would make a great blade by itself
Cheers my friend
Dad
@@KyleRoyerKnives yo! Let me rephrase the question to make more sense then- instead of focusing on damascus steel for aesthetics, ever consider doing damascus focusing on blending performance instead? Clearly 15n20 is chose as a "run of the mill" for aesthetics, but what about making a steel blended with another steel solely for performance? Maybe this line of thinking makes more sense phrased this way? maybe 80crv2 w/ an M-series steel or something. Maybe you can do a "Royer PM" blend (performance mosaic) and a "Royer XP" blend (xtra performance) that you wont have to focus on perfect etching everytime with. no i'm not high ripping the bong, im just riffing out ideas lmao
Always grind this side, never grind this side, clear?
Hey Vince we were going for mass confusion 🤪🥊just teasing
Cheers my friend
Dad
🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
Isn't there any sponsor to give you some shop equipment? Air conditioning ? some fume extractors or stuff? Get that man (and his famliy) the stuff, so he can build more beautiful blades!!!! looking at other channels, they get flooded with sponsoring...
Bring it 👍🏻☕️🔥⚔️
bro this is twisted
You should be called the KING OF DAMASCUS ... 🖕👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Feeling the love my friend
This side's cool ... this side is not so cool .... :)
Do you know how annoying this became after milion times 10:07
Copy that. Bugs in coffee is worse
