      The last , simply because we saw the knife come together . We went through the journey knowing this was going to be somthing special and weren’t disappointed . What was special for me was my two boys 8 and 10 watched every episode with me and were really excited to see the finished knife and the older one is going to use it as this terms project for his class .

    The XCAL is a great artistic triumph, and an absolutely remarkable achievement of superior knife making skill. I am in awe of the bold statement that this knife makes.
    One of the elements that really I appreciate is the subtle, compound blade geometry. A masterful accomplishment, Kyle. Thank you for including us on this fantastic journey.

  • @BradGryphonn
    @BradGryphonn 2 года назад +23

    14:45 Took my breath away a little. You know I love the practical art that you and your family produce and I think that this piece may be one of your finest commissions. I became quite invested in this project and have seen some things that others may not have noticed:
    On one side of the blade, the pattern forms an abstract, stretched 'X' which is in harmony with the company logo.
    Plating the tool in 24-carat Gold was brilliant. Your name and the company logo are in Gold. The maker and receiver/user of the knife. So it's fitting that the tool that you or the owner will use on this knife is identified as an integral yet separate entity to the knife itself.
    Your vision of the Blueing making the Gold pop was an understatement. That logo lights up the way it does in the company office. Truly stunning.
    Finally, this knife design, if made from less unique and expensive materials would be a tool I'd use in the bush. The blade style is very practical and the handle would be ergonomically good with a grippier material. I know that the knife you created would be useable in that situation but it would be a travesty to try and dress an animal or make a fire with this beautiful creation.
    Kudos again to all of you. If I was in a place where I could put knife making equipment I'd sign up for your courses. Maybe in a few years when I get settled somewhere (58-year-old wanderer here).

    re- the carbon fiber handle and inlay- i use to work for an aircraft/fiberglass place that did all kinds of missile tubes and stuff out of very specific carbon fiber layups, some 30+ layers , wound around , or cast into a solid you could machine into- and theres a way to get the carbon in a solid block like that, but also have a resin layer built up over it, to encapsulate the inlay gold, which you could then polish down to the certain size/contours you want for a handle or scales like that, and it might help you out. they routinely do that kind of eh, 'extra resin' layer/buildup on top of the transitions and odd shaped pieces that might have wierd contours, or for the finished surface, so you dont get the steel wool-like fibres right on the top, into somebodys hand, but also dont have to spray or build up another layer of something on top of it. call someplace that does carbon fiber for aerospace and they can probably advise you. for hobbyists, they'd turn up their nose, but show them your 65k swords and stuff, and they'll probably work your stuff in, to diversify if nothing else. and heck, a sheer block of carbon fiber with your specs would be childs play for them to just build up and bake in one of the heated presses alot of them use /shrug. cool stuff mate, love it :D

    Yet again, you amaze us, Royer clan! What a gorgeous piece!
    Also - props to dad for that 24k gold plate job. That looks very time consuming and detail oriented!

    I wish I was wealthy Kyle. I fund you for your duration here. You are incredibly talented and I hope you continue to create these works of art. Hopefully I’ll have enough to buy a piece. It’s tough getting by when you’re disabled but watching you create brings some moments of peace and happiness. Thank you and keep moving forward!
