As much as I usually enjoy Kyle's narration and explanation of the process, this format is no less entertaining to watch, and the end result was simply gorgeous! Loved the feather pattern Damascus and the fittings looked amazing!
That is some nice feather Damascus- it actually looks 3-dimensional, with the pattern flowing up out of the center line. Great blade, great handle, great build! Thanks for posting.
Alright! No better way to start a beautiful snowy Friday here in Southwest Michigan than having some coffee and watching Mr. Royer hand craft some high functioning art! It’s fascinating to me how the welds don’t break under the immense force from that press.
Love the fact that you used stone for the handle, I work with stone every day and have made pocket knife scales out of various types of stone. The finished product looks amazing.😮
There is a stress riser where the tang meets the integral bolster; there should be more of a radius there to prevent it from snapping. Beautiful knife!
Lei è un vero maestro nel costruire coltelli, lo dimostra l'attenzione nei dettagli nonché l'attrezzatura che le consente di creare delle vere opere d'arte, bravo 👏👏👏👍🙋
Not sure how I came onto your channel but this was fascinating to watch. Keep it up and wow that knife is stunning and when I can afford it I would love to own something unique like that.
Been waiting for another video for awhile. Awesome treat that it is from Dad. When is that MS test happening? Hope you and your family are warm with all the snow that you’re getting in MO.
I certainly don't think it's worth the money not even close, but that's not to say I don't respect the workmanship or that I don't love watching the videos. It's more like there are cheaper knives that cut just as well, and to me a knife is a tool, no more, and not a piece of art. That's why I wear a cheapish quartz watch, that actually tells time rather then an expensive automatic that you'd need a second clock for anyway just to set it, which seems a bit pointless. It's like, we've moved on, why stick to the old guns just for the heck of it ...
@@SweDennis it's clear you are not well educated on steel or tools for that matter. when it comes to tools you use everyday (27yr master service tech for kenworth btw) you get what you pay for. it's like comparing a snap on ratchet to the home depot stanley ratchet. with knives? same thing. buy cheap get cheap performance. also this is an art piece as well. if you are a master chef. do you buy a fine knife? or a ginsu?
@@jackmeoffer9334 You are absolutely correct in not being educated in the matter, no argument there. I'm just curious what a knife would cost without it being a work of art, not neccessarily buy the cheapest crap one can find. Same with pens, there are mont blancs for thousands of dollars, and bic pens that write just as well, until they don't and then you get a new one. That's all, but to each his own, if you appreciate owning the piece of art and not just the functional knife then no arguments from me.

Another great dad build. 👍 I realize it's a lot of work, but I hope Josh can edit together a video of the whole Griffin sword build to date. And if it's over an hour long, 😃👍
Two serious questions… 1) what do you do with all the scale that comes off while you’re pressing the steel? 2) have you ever considered getting a table for you table saw? 🙏
I like these videos with just the sounds of the shop, but I definitely miss Kyle’s narration. Either way, y’all make beautiful products and I’m always excited to see what you’ll make next!!!
Lovely work, Jeff. Not the sort of knife I'd give mother, she'd accidently drop it on the kitchen tiled floor at least twice on the way to being washed up on first use. I'm not sure whether our tiles laid on concrete or your stone handle is stronger. And not willing to test that theory. Love the knife and video. That was beaut.
I'm pretty sure because he cut the ends off, doesn't matter for the material. But the side holds the pattern, so by tig welding, you don't have to remove as much material when grinding because the welds are of the same material.
@@fliplmbit’s probably easier to do with mig since it’s adding material on top of the existing material so can make a vacuum more easily without needing the parts to be parallel which you would with tig welding I think?
I love how he acts like he is watching a tutorial when we all know they are an ancient race of master crafters from before the galaxy began, no way they could make stuff this beautiful otherwise.
I am curious if one of those laser welders would be a practical option rather than a tig welder as you would have less grinding to remove the weld. Or if the laser welders could fuse the metal plates without welding wire? Thank you for the video take care God bless one and all.
That's your dad, right? Man, your whole family got game. Another beautiful piece on your channel.
yeah that is the dad
You can easily tell when it’s Kyle because at some point he’ll bend his neck at a crazy 90 degree angle that doesn’t seem humanly possible 😂
if you were to read the description you would see it's his dad, but meh reading is too complex let's just assume...
@@onekenobi3967
It hurts no one to ask for clarity.
Why be an ass about it?

Agreed but usually I likes dad's narration better than Kyle's
agree. but no way that sold for 3.700 unless the buyer was just a moron.
@@cwest394it’s worth more with the time in it. People don’t understand the painstaking attention to detail in his knives.
That bent screw told the whole story. Doesn't have to be fancy or complex, as long as it works.
27:51 minutes of Master Class !
Thank you sir for giving me the chance to see you at work .. truly a Master !
Your creative solutions to problems and the tenacity to see them through has always impressed me.
I just want to say i have been following from a very long time and every time you upload i am thankful for your whole family!
That is some nice feather Damascus- it actually looks 3-dimensional, with the pattern flowing up out of the center line. Great blade, great handle, great build! Thanks for posting.

I love how you all have the perfect father son relationship…we need more like you. Great knife by the way 😂🔪❤️
Dad watching his son's videos to know how to do this is a new kind of adorable
No bullshit. Straight to the point. I need more.
Yet another beautiful piece by dad! You're really making some great, functional art!
Love the raw sound of the workshop! Beautiful piece of Art!
Beautiful. Love that handle. Beautiful work.
Reminds me of a massive straight razor. I never cease to be impressed by your level of craftsmanship.
Beautiful work dad. Your artistic design shines thru in every project you do. Love it.
G.
Just wow what an absolute pleasure to watch this master class
Stunning pattern on that blade! Well done, sir.
Labour of love right there. Lovely knife.
There is a stress riser where the tang meets the integral bolster; there should be more of a radius there to prevent it from snapping. Beautiful knife!
I really love for you to make me one and I would pay you for it! You are truly a great blacksmith!!!
That came out amazing!
That should be JRoyer MS…and the camera work is absolutely first class.
I was just going to say the same about the camera work. Some fantastic shots.
Kyle taught you quickly. You are now a master as well!
Very nice looking piece. Looked like everything fit perfectly. The pattern looked great.
wow!! awesome Damascus pattern and the knife looks epic!! its always nice seeing a Dad video!

that feather pattern damascus is gorgeous
That knife is gorgeous !!!
absolutely stunning knife
I was going to say, while the damascus journey was impressive, the welding journey kyle took was mext level. Then i realized..
The talent is mind blowing!
Absolutely stunning.
So nice to see a blacksmith working the anvil, not relying solely on machines to form the blade. A joy to watch.
2:45 collet must be inserted into nut first than cutting bit. Groove in collet working with nut to release taper connection:)
THE APPLE DOESN'T FALL FAR FROM THE TREE! 🖤💯
Absolutely beautiful!

Nicely done, Sir!! Beautiful feather pattern, and the marble was an excellent choice for your first stone hilt👍
Awesome Job!!👍
Beautiful work sir.
Dad has really mastered this stuff huh? Can't wait to see the knives for the master smith test ;)
Luar biasa sebuah mahakarya yg sangat bagus
Beyond impressive
brilliant.
thanks for the show!
What a treat
Been waiting for another video for awhile. Awesome treat that it is from Dad. When is that MS test happening? Hope you and your family are warm with all the snow that you’re getting in MO.
superb, and speechless , as always !
Always a stunner, Mr. Jeff! That marble handle is awesome
TO THOSE WHO THINK THAT IT IS NOT WORTH THAT MONEY? YOU TRY TO DO THAT!!!! FRANKLY THAT IS A LOW PRICE FOR THAT WORK!!!

17:41 Watching our favorite guy. And holy crap thats a nice knife.
Beautiful
well done brother........blessings
Beautiful work!
No wonder your son makes such amazing blades too!
Who do you think trained jeff
I've been watching your guys videos for a while and I've always been as to what knife sharpener that is
Worth every penny
Nicely done 👍
Dad Royer is a boss! 🍻
Amazing 👍👍
AMAZING!!!!!!
Another great dad build. 👍 I realize it's a lot of work, but I hope Josh can edit together a video of the whole Griffin sword build to date. And if it's over an hour long, 😃👍
Stunning.
Реально красивый премиальный кухонный нож! 😳👍
Wowwee, what a beautiful pattern 🙂
Piece of art... 💪
Thanks for sharing.
@27:37 may I ask where that scar on your hand came from? Looks pretty gnarly!
it's utterly magnificent
ASMR!!!❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉 LOVE IT!
Two serious questions…
1) what do you do with all the scale that comes off while you’re pressing the steel?
2) have you ever considered getting a table for you table saw?
🙏
Beautiful work!! What kind of belts are you using to shape the stone?
Awesome Jeff.🔪
I like these videos with just the sounds of the shop, but I definitely miss Kyle’s narration. Either way, y’all make beautiful products and I’m always excited to see what you’ll make next!!!
Another great video 👏👏
Looks great pops 🎉
Absolutely amazing craftsmanship. Is that a new die you used to set your welds? I don't think I've seen it before, that thing's a beast!
Just who is really the master in this family 👍
You're going to give Kyle a run for his money..lol.. great work! Beautiful ..
I cannot help but look away when you weld.....old habits you know😂😂😂
Комментарий в поддержку канала и ролика, а также труда мастера
Good pattern on that
What stops the handle from swiveling on the round tang?
Epoxy
dark magic
loves your dads works
The ol man shows how its done.
Lovely work, Jeff.
Not the sort of knife I'd give mother, she'd accidently drop it on the kitchen tiled floor at least twice on the way to being washed up on first use. I'm not sure whether our tiles laid on concrete or your stone handle is stronger. And not willing to test that theory.
Love the knife and video. That was beaut.
I've always wanted one of those knives for hunting purposes.
Was that BBC Radio 4 on in the background? Sounded like a Melvin Bragg intro!
Beautiful Mosaic damascus
Is the cut off wheel used on the floor to minimise the spark travel ??
Awesome!
Just wondering near the start 0:19, why mig the short sides but tig the long sides?
I'm pretty sure because he cut the ends off, doesn't matter for the material. But the side holds the pattern, so by tig welding, you don't have to remove as much material when grinding because the welds are of the same material.
@ that does make sense, but why not tig it all?
@@fliplmbit’s probably easier to do with mig since it’s adding material on top of the existing material so can make a vacuum more easily without needing the parts to be parallel which you would with tig welding I think?
@ I was thinking mig might be faster, but then the delay of swapping everything over 🤷♂️
I've been wondering that myself.
I love how he acts like he is watching a tutorial when we all know they are an ancient race of master crafters from before the galaxy began, no way they could make stuff this beautiful otherwise.
Awesome❤
Nice job Dad 😊Angie in Scotland
Ok was pops Royer watching Hickok at the beginning of that build on his iPhone?
I am curious if one of those laser welders would be a practical option rather than a tig welder as you would have less grinding to remove the weld. Or if the laser welders could fuse the metal plates without welding wire?
Thank you for the video take care God bless one and all.
Just wow😮😮😮😮
Feather is my favorite
I like this no bullshit approach 😅
