Beautiful. What kind of wood is the handle made from? Work safe.

Will those blade prints fade over time?

Great vid loved it what was that orange liquid you used for the etching and what did you dip the blade in to do it? Thankyo

Nice. I'll give you ten bucks for it.

@@aaronorr1450 The orange is just nail polish, and stops any steel underneath from being etched by the ferric chloride, the liquid it's etched in.

Hey thanks Kalashnikov Dad did this one. He is my apprentice. Although he is going for his journeyman smith test in the ABS soon. Your point is well said and well taken.

It is very sharp, gotta watch those fingers while cutting!

👍🏻☕️🔥⚔️

One thing some folks don't think of is keeping the buff wheels covered or take them off and store in a ziplock bag. Dust and grid in the shop gets on the wheels and because it's metal or abrasive particulate, it can be sharp and really hook itself into the wheel cloth and screw up the buffing job. :)

:)

Thank you Aubrey!

Not sure what they used, but I would just use nail polish remover, acetone or non, both would work very quickly and efficiently

Thanks!

Thank you Allen! ~Team Royer

Thanks Mr Anderson! Agent Smith. Just teasing. Dad

Thank you Keith! ~Team Royer

I want to know what material that Is aswell

Be sure to know Kyle is my sensei, I am the apprentice. Cheers from the Ozarks my friend Dad

Its a chefs knife. Dont need to be temperd because it wont be put trough much stress or punishment. A bushcraftknife on the other hand needs to be tempered. And the tempering on that knife is in many cases more important than the hardening. If you know what i mean. A chefsknife usualy cuts meat and veggies,not wood or hard things.❤🤗

Hi, We did temper it that part just got missed getting shot. :) All of our chef knives are tempered as part of the crafting process. ~Team Royer

Thanks for answering! I am a knifemaker too, from austria and I was just confused because that part was not in the video. Keep up the great videos and posts, you guys are amazing! @nibb nibb I am a profeasional knifemaker myself and I ALWAYS temper my chef knives. If you are making knives you should consider to temper them too, I am sure your customers will thank you. Because otherwise your edges are way too brittle and are a pain in the ass to sharpen after they got dull!

@@nibbnibb1899 no, I didnt know about tempering when I started making knives and trust me, they must be tempered. I figured it out quick the hard way, the cracked way...

@@nibbnibb1899 A chef's knife encounters hard things all the time, including the cutting board, lol. I use mine to remove beer bottle caps, smash garlic or nuts on the flat, tenderize meat by chopping with the back spine of the blade, and some even use the heel of the blade to hack into coconuts. Make no mistake, a good chef's knife sees plenty of challenging work, and needs to be tempered.

Hey thanks Wing Nut Bert. Kyle wanted that knife. He put it in service in his kitchen which we all use daily. That knife has a great profile. We all grab for it frequently . I etched in ferric chloride for a long time in order to get a deep etch. I just went in and checked it. The dark etching was wore ever so slightly. Good question. Cheers Dad

@@KyleRoyerKnives: Thanks for the reply! Awesome that it's still holding up so well. Looks outstanding!

We affectionately named the knife “ bio-hazard “. 👍🏻🔥☕️

@@KyleRoyerKnives: XD! Now you have to do a Covid 0ne!!

Good question patrick I started several years back learning with a few kitchen knives doing stock removal. Soon moved into forging. I’ve been doing ladder,mosaic damascus , feather and mosaic feather… Can’t get enough damascus. Check out Royercutlery.com And Royercutlery on instagram I built all of these knives Cheers my friend Dad

@@KyleRoyerKnives thank you for taking the time to answer my question after i asked this question i did find a video where you forged a integral bolster or gaurd i do not know what it is called but it also was very nice Kyle is very meticulous and it shows in the quality of his knives ecspecially the inlaying you must be very proud

no ;)

Thanks Killer I believe it is redwood burl Steel Pig Forge asked me to build a knife for them, they sent me steel and two different pieces of wood. I had one piece of wood left over they said I could keep so I put it on this fun,cool knife Glad you’re hanging out with us Dad

This handle was made out of Redwood Burl with Bloodwood Liners. ~Team Royer

looks like redwoodlaceburl or amboynaburl if that helps 👍🏼

Hey Mark Twain Good question. KMG 72” belts. Needing another , wanting a TW 90 with every option Travis makes 💰😉 Dad

We affectionately call this one bio-hazard. It’s one of our favorite knives in the test kitchen Cheers Dad

Hey my friend good question. Ferric chloride and instant coffee with very specific timing and sequencing 👍🏻🗡🔥⚔️☕️

Hey seekerend Great question I was highly motivated I got tired of over grinding so I decided to glue on a stop It worked Dad

On another comment he said it was etched with ferric chloride, you could probably buy it online if you're not currently in a sanctioned nation.

Yes. The ferric chloride etches everything that is not coated Chao 👍🏻☕️🔥⚔️ Dad

Hey Edward Maybe so but my cutters are every day drivers, and thoroughbred race horses 👍🏻🔥☕️🔪🏎 Glad you’re hanging out with us all Dad
