The precision through the whole build was astonishing. This is probably the most beautiful knife I've ever seen.

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.

You are not a blacksmith. You are an artist ❤

Possibly the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

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

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.

This is what a $15k knife - i cant even image what Weeks of a Skilled Smiths life are worth.

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

How is it that your work keeps getting more spectacular? It must be sorcery.

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.

There aren’t enough superlatives to describe how utterly amazing your craftsmanship is. So I leave it with one. Wow!

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.

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!

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

this guy seriously blows my mind! beautiful craftsmanship!

Man, seriously, you never fail to amaze me. What a superb build, that damascus is just epic

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.

Everything from the Damascus pattern to the finish is world class. Thank you for sharing!

The quality of the craftsmanship of this video brought me to tears, a masterpiece doesn't begin to describe this.

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.

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.😊

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

To call him a skilled craftsman would be an understatement. He would fall into the metal artistry category with a bit of magic thrown in. What a beautiful blade.

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!

حرفة متقنة للغاية أنا دمشقي وأفتخر بذلك شكرا لك على هذه التحفة الرائعة أتمنى أن أمتلك مثلها 👍

Without a doubt the highest level of craftsmanship I’ve ever seen. Amazing! Also really dug the music. Does anyone know the artist(s)?

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.

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!!

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.

Фантастика !!! Браво маэстро !

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 .....

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!

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!

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.

The epitome of skill and perfection

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.

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.

Молоец брат просто нет слов дай БОГ тебе здоровие и сили чтобы ещё что нибуть новое мастириш браво👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥

Navy welder here awesome creations. Welded alot of HY 80 Carbon Molybdenum saturated high pressure steam lines on a Submarine Tender and an Aircraft Carrier.

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.

OMG, Kyle! This is gorgeous pattern. You are a Zen Master. 😎

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!!!

I was truly mesmerised and hypnotize watching this. Just fabulous. Love from BANGLADESH 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩

The outcone is incredable! I would never be able to make such a masterpeice like this

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

I love watching knife making vids, the majority of the time they are ASMR style which I enjoy. Thanks to the KZfaq 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!

You explain your craft so well that this could start up people to go to metal working, which is awesome!

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. 👍

I've been watching your videos for probably a couple of years now. I rarely comment but tonight I am compelled because I am going through my second serious battle with cancer, and your forging and knife making videos provide me with a level of calmness. It's very satisfying to watch you do such precise work, and it lessons my anxiety about future chemo treatments to just chill out and watch you work. I made a few knives many years ago just for fun, but never forged anything in my life.

You and pops are freaking geniuses...

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.

Dude, Kyle...I am memorized by your work. Your videos are some of my favorite videos across the entire KZfaq 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!

By far the coolest Damascus I've ever seen!!!!!!!

What a gorgeous knife! I always love seeing what new ideas you’ll come up with for your Damascus patterns.

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.

Kyle looks *so* happy while he is working. He reminds me of Eddie Van Halen; simply bubbling with joy performing his artistry.

Beautiful! Probably the best Damascus blade art I've seen yet! I couldn't imagine what the price tag is.

Wow 😳, I have no words to describe your art, is incredibly amazing! Thanks for this show of excellent achievement

That is a masterpiece, it deserves to spend the last of its days in a museum.

My hats off to your Dad for your training as well as your attention to detail. I am a retired jeweler and appreciate your patience. True art !

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 😊

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!

I'm genuinely stunned by your craftmanship! That's the best made knife I've ever seen! Well done!

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

I don't think I've seen more precise and careful work. The best mosaic maker out there. I hope you get as much joy from your work as you provide for your audience.

That brought a tear to my eye. Absolute stunning craftmanship.

Sir you made 8th wonder of the world,,,,,,,I never seen greatest knife as like this in my life,,,,,,,

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 👋👋👋👋👋

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!

Formidable. Mi admiración.

dude, you're like an artist, a scientist, AND an athlete

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/

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.

This is a blade that made for the king's of kings!!! Bbeeeaaaauuuuuuttttiifffuuulllll!!!

This has got to be the most beautiful knife I have ever seen.

Absluteley stunning build! I legit get shivers up my neck watching your videos

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.

It is truly therapeutic to watch a real Craftsman give artistic expression to his passion, thanks and WOW.... 👍 😊😮

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. 👍❤

Your attention to detail and the precision of your fit and finish is remarkable. Well done!

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!

Freaking STUNNiNG! What an amazing knife....a true one of a kind. Your father and many are truly proud of your work on this build. Well done!!!!!!

It's absolutely stunning and beautiful! I enjoy watching your progress on all of your blades. Thank you!

***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 KZfaq 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!

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 have seen so many Damascus and knife/blade makers on KZfaq. But I have to say that your attention to detail and skill stand out above the rest. Absolute master craftsman! Live long and prosper!

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!

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.

Thank you for your comment and commentary...very instructional. ❤

Such an amazing piece of art and handcraft. Beautifully captured. Thanks for letting us join that journey!

Man the Royer clan building a juggernaut enterprise of bladesmithing education & entertainment; filming, editing, voice overs and, music selection are extremely well done and Kyle's craftsmanship is world-class! (What is the name of the track used at 11:08? I really like that song)

I got no words.....the best work I've ever seen

This literally is pure joy to watch. Yes, this is a Damascus blade.

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!

Videos like this make me realize no matter how hard I try I will never be that good.

You are a master... I watched every second

Hands down best looking blad I've ever seen

That's the most beautiful knife I've seen in my life

Omg!! Das schönste Messer, das ich je gesehen habe!! Das kannst du nur in die vitrine legen!! 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

I have a fever right now..Watching this wonderful divine creation just relieved me. 😊😊
