This has been a fun and expiremental journey! I am so glad you guys followed us during this time. :) Just for fun, if you watch all 9 episodes, reply to this post which episode was your favorite. ~Josh Royer
Definitely this last episode, the knife just came out perfect!
Episode 5. The handle design is what pulled me in first!
I loved them all, but the last one always is the most exciting and satisfying.
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 . Thanks from the Gold Coast Down Under
PART 7, ALL THE INLAY IS SO SATISFYING, AND THAT HANDLE FINISH IS SO DOPE. SO MUCH STINKIN PATIENCE. MASTER!
Such a stunning piece. I love the self critique at the end, it's inspiring to know that at your level there are still details to chase. Great Video editing as well 👌
Hey thanks
@@KyleRoyerKnivesI’d love to see you make a knife like no other kinda like you did the Bowie knife a really cool Damascus pattern with a lot of gold in it or better yet make a knife made of nothing but timascus I’d prefer a Bowie or hunting knife style I know it’s hard and prob expensive so I don’t really expect you to make one but thanks for the amazing content hard work and dedication respect 💯💯😎
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.
Thanks Jeffrey
Best knife I have ever seen! Master skills and craftsmanship needed to pull this off! Amazing work Kyle keep it up👍
Right? The knife is so beautiful, and I want one.
First question... do you have eyes? Second question, are they open...
Yeah I’m just starting my knife forging journey I can only hope to have a fraction of this skill someday it’s inspiring
@@MrLanzac look up helle knives :)
The contrast of the gold inlay with the black of the handle and the blued fittings looks phenomenal, well done guys.
I love how you are hyper critical of the most beautiful knife I have ever seen. Means the sky is the limit to your creativity and design philosophy. Well done.
A piece of fine jewelry, in knife form. Beautiful!
I’m a knife maker and to see the things you’ve come up with blows my mind! Beautiful work brother!
Me too, but i feel like a caveman watching this guy...
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).
Hey thanks old wanderer
We are glad you are here together with us all on this journey
Thanks for your encouragement. You may be amazed at what some of our clients do with their $5K-$30K knives. Some make it to the field for bragging rights then score a hunting kill.
Keep Forging On my friend
Dad
A literal masterpiece art. Probably the most beautiful knife I've EVER seen. Congratulations and thank you for taking us on the tour!
I could listen to your Dad voice-overs all day, so relaxing! Incredible build.
Hey thanks Maxime
Dad
Hands down one of the best knife makers in the world.
Hey thanks Daroff
That's not a knife, that's a work of art! Best of the best.
The more I watch your videos, the more I'm convinced you're an artist whose medium is Smithing. These are Art pieces to be handed down generations. Wish I could own one of these.
Truly a Master.
Hey thanks Joseph
Functional Art 👍🏻☕️🔥⚔️
Dad
Damn it Kyle! Every time I think I have every product that I need you come out with a video with a new product and I am baffled while ordering
The best knife maker I’ve ever seen. Beyond perfection
hands down the coolest knife and cleanest knife ive ever seen
The most beautiful knife i ever saw in my life.
I watched all the episodes and my favorite was the last, seeing all that hard work come together to create an absolutely beautiful knife was so satisfying. Kyle your skills and craftsmanship are top notch, can’t wait to see your next project.
Hello Kyle,
it's done!
It's GREAT!!!
It looks amazing!
Best regards
Holger
I love seeing the finished product come together- from blocks of metal and carbon fiber to a functional work of art, and the pattern of the Damascus is just plain cool. Great job!
The whole knife is stunning! I am in love with the carbon fiber handle on this. So cool, it is truly a work of art!
Every time you make a new blade then that one becomes my favorite. This one is absolutely amazing!
Your knifemaker course is helping me tremendously too. Thanks for sharing!
Love the work and detailing, and commitment, and skills and attention to detail. Chapeau bas.
Having said all of that not a knife for me.
This guy just created a knife version of Faberge egg.
This knife came out absolutely stunning, incredibly well done!
Hey thanks
Wow! You are an amazing artist! Thank you for showing your process
Beautiful, as always! Thanks for sharing
Omg! Beyond perfection, Kelly! Your passion of damascus steel, craftsmanship and making artwork of them to blades or swords. Is something can't describe, or no word to say beacuse it's beautiful handmade.😃
Thanks
My God that is insanely beautiful. The level of painstaking detail and precision is staggering. I'd give myself anxiety attacks if I scratched that piece of art.
Well done Kyle. Lots of new stuff that worked out really well together. You are really refining an already epic build quality. The gold plated take down tool is a nice touch too. Great job Dad. All in all, a very stunning knife.
Go Team Royer!
Thanks BeeZo
Dad
That is absolutely stunning work!
I've never seen a nicer knife, I can say that with confidence.
As always, gorgeous work! Congratulations Kyle!
The knife is gorgeous! Love all the small details on it. Also Dad and Josh are doing so good! Love your familys work! All the best and keep up the amazing work!
Hey thanks Paul

You keep pushing the limits Kyle. You surpass yourself every time you start a new project. Thank you for all of the amazing content.

That pattern is really cool! A lot of really new unique stuff on that build, and was cool seeing your dad helping :D
Wow. That blade is awesome!
Kyle, you totally outdid yourself on this one.. One of the, if not THE most beautiful knife I've seen.. that contrast is poppin' !

Beautiful knife, I dig the craftsmanship.
The care you take in doing everything is awesome!.. wicked beautiful knives.
A beautyful piece of Art. Thanks for sharing with us.
You are simply the best. Highest level of craftmanship with excellent explanation on the vid. This is pure art.
Your attention to details and patience are just incredible… You are a true master in your art
Hey thanks
The layers of detail work you put into a build is absolutely amazing. There's not a consideration to maximize the quality of your finished product you don't take... simply fantastic. 👍🏻
That’s Spectacular, it’s the best knife I ever saw. Wow, Great Work !!
This is incredible work! Well done!
Looks unreal, amazing work!
I love the jet black hard ware it's beautiful.
ABSOLUTELY BONKERS! love this piece of art, its just getting better and better. well done! should be well proud of that Kyle.
Thank you for your continued generosity in sharing your processes. I think we all take a more critical view of our own work, but since I didn't make this one I feel free to observe that it is a stunner.
Hey thanks Bryson
Glad you’re here my friend
Dad
master pieces! i always enjoy a lot !
I definitely think you are the best knife maker in the world.. . Youre pieces should be in museums 🙏
incredible work, always love your blades !
That's strange how the gold plating is purple on your swab. Very cool stuff.
Masterfully created work of art! Thank you very much for sharing.
Absolute perfection my friend. You do immaculate work!
Thanks JD
WOW!! I don't have words to describe this astonishing craftsmanship. Keep it up.
Ich habe mir nun schon einige Videos angeschaut und ich für meinen Teil finde,du machst meisterhafte Schmiedekunst in vollendeter Perfektion!!!
Einfach unfassbar wunderschöne Stücke!!🙂🙂
Absolutely beautiful, as usual 👍🏼. I love the handle, gold accents on carbon fiber is 🤩gorgeous. Best of luck🍀to you and yours.
😮 WOW What A Beautiful Creation!!
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
Stunning. I have no other words.
Amazing as always. The finish is above and beyond.
I like a nice low layer pattern if it's got good character to it. Been seeing more and more copper layer integration online recently. It'd be awesome to witness your take on it.
Such a simple yet elegant blade geometry. It’s sooo good.
Hey thanks
