That hard stare while sanding is the funniest, nonchalant thing I’ve seen ever btw

You know It's a good month when Kyle uploads. Can't wait for this new project!

The proof of a genuine proffesional craftsman is to pass on their knowledge and skills to others. They know that their knowledge and artistic skills is inpossible to copy. But it is an inspiration and push those who want to make a incredible knife.

You got me watching the entire video because of your craftsmanship, but you got me subbing with your hand sanding camera angle underneath the bench without breaking eye contact 😂😂😂

I laughed out loud for the sanding and the coffee sip was a gut laugh. TY, Mr. Royer!

Please don't use pvc pipe and fittings for compressed air. As you found out it can very dangerous. Thank goodness you weren't injured.

바다건너 나라에서 살고 있지만 정말 놀라운 집중력과기술을 가지고 계시네요 칭찬합니다 😊😊😊

Your love and skill for forging and creating beautiful knives makes me want to strive and reach even higher in my field.

Kyle’s videos are always, always worth the wait.

No doubt you make some of the most beautiful knives ever.

Never seen such workmanship before I started seeing your videos here, it is beautiful.

You must have gained that master smith status now I can’t see anyone being much better than you, your stuff is amazing I can only dream of owning something this beautiful

10/10 voiceover skills! 20/10 knifemaking skills! Always fun watching the precision of your process, Kyle! Thanks for sharing it with us!

Nobody comes close on your Damascus patterns. Amazing.

Hey 👋 buddy, nice to see you back in the house, bro 👌 blessings 🙌 🙏

Hahaha... love the filing while staring and coffee sipping. Your work is timeless. Remarkable. Fasinating to watch. Awesome videos. Even more amazing art. You are a Master!

So I'm just sitting here with my mouth agape😮 You are an amazing artist when it involves the FORGE. Wow Your Bowie knife is one the most beautiful patterns I've ever seen on a knife. Nothing but Respect for you.

The time and effort that went into this knife are impressive. The dubbing during the etch made me think of Godzilla movies. The pattern itself is mesmerizing- can't wait to see the final product.

Thanks Boys. What an amazing process. I'm glad nobody was injured in your shop mishap. Anxious for part 2.

Glad no one got hurt in the explosion. You are inspiring and your attitude to life and your craft is truly humbling. Thank you for sharing 👍

Man, super excited to see another stone handle, your last one was beautiful!

Dude I'm sure you've heard this too many times, but you are an absolute artist! I've been watching for a few years and you've always been so generous with your knowledge thank you. I love to make knives but I also love to watch you do it😅

It's very, very rare I say... Yes I'd trust this man from USA to create a perfect blade... But Mr K. Royer, yes 100% I'd trust his skills. Amazing

This unique man demonstrates the value ($), planning, skill, inovation, artistic illumination, control of all facets of "knife making" as well as a teacher. Notice he does not always have the latest equipment, however that is not the source of his success, he understands the medium. I never tire of watching his vids. I am so embarrased with my poor attempts at making pointy, sharp things..suitable for gardening..maybe.

And 💥BOOM💥 goes the dynamite...aka PVC pipe!! The bowie is looking beautiful... can't wait to see the finished product!!

Looking at. ROYER'S blades make me feel completely inept! Wow such artwork. I see this no where else.

Liked just because I love the channel. I wish KZfaq allowed a second like just for the funny faces you made while hand-sanding the blade.

Kyle, it's less than two weeks since I discovered your amazing channel. It inspired me to up my own knifemaking within the limits of the tools I have. I even had a go at making a copper inlay onto a brass piece for my practice project (inspired by you). All I had was a small dremel, a homemade iron tool for hammering on, and copper sheath which I had to cut into wires. It actually turned out better than expected although the edges were not quite as crisp as on your inlays, but I got no visible gaps or anything. I also am (at this very moment I am writing this) in my shop doing the finishing touches after applying laqur. I do not forge my own blades yet, because I want to master making the rest first to a satisfying level. I often just buy big kitchen knifes at thrift stores and cut the blade into whatever shape I want, but without overheating or compromising the quality of the steel, but this is mostly for my smaller knifes like mushroom knifes and such. For bigger projects I buy blades from different blacksmiths around here in Scandinavia. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know you have pushed another sucker down the rabbit-hole to perfection. Thanks, Kyle! Big respect to your skills both as a designer, craftsman and blacksmith, and all those pretty tools you have to play with. I like my ambitions to be near unreachable, and to me that's your stuff. It's nice to know I have a long way of improving myself and upgrading my tools to get anywhere near your level. Keep it up mate, and so to your Dad & co. 🫡✊️

This is Mastery of Craft. As an Autistic person, I can appreciate the level of dedication and detail you work to.

A new forge! That sounds like a job for Dad, I am surprised he wasn't making one 2 seconds after you said it

I love that Billy Corgan took up knife making ❤

Wonderful job! May God bless you so much for this gift! I'm of Brazil!

I'm glad no one was hurt, but for future reference, PVC is not recommended for compressed air systems. It typically can't handle the pressures and fragments when it blows.

Thank you Kyle for the PDF. I'm glad nobody got hurt.

Love your and your dad's work man......keep doing what you do

Seeing a new Kyle Royer vid in my feed always puts a smile on my face :)

Every single time you make any blade I do admire your work. This time you got me concerned that you still not using any coolant on your surface grinder. If you used cooling liquid you wouldn't get problem with heat bending your blade while grinding. I can see that you have pipe to direct it to your stone. have a look if you have sump pump fitted and start using it. It will help you a lot in this operation

There's something so wholesome to watch your videos. In focus is, of course, mastery in progress. Converting materials to art. But it's so much more, from the little funny faces while grinding (it's easy to goof around on video I've noticed but you do it in a way that clearly stems from a frustration or something one can identify with. It's subtle) to the marbleous (sorry!) side stories. Not to mention context and reflection - like the story of the table or how you come to be a knife maker. And I do think the feeling of you guys being in this together as a family is quite important to the mix too. Looking forward to see the finished knife here, as usual! Keep up the good work guys! Love from Sweden, Europe

"My billets keep getting longer and longer". Like a boss.

Stunning piece of work!

Sir, you are the rembrant of blades!

The craftsmanship is top notch 👌🏿 🔥🔥🔥

You're my favorite blacksmith Kyle. My personal preference on a big bowie includes a nice finger choil to "choke up" on the blade.

My God!! You guys have done it again! She is beautiful! Can’t wait to see the blue stone handle dance again the gun glued fittings! O Lord! You are an artist Kyle!

Beautiful looking pattern in that blade, top job 👍 Regards from Down Under .

thanks for sharing Kyle, hugely inspirational

Love watching him make mosaic damascus! 🍻

Man that thing is beautiful man.

WOW, amazing results. definitely a piece of Art

I look forward to when you complete the knife and it is good to hear no one was hurt when the pipe blue.

Your work Def speaks for itself on the results!!! Your work is second To NONE!!! You have the cleanest welds and patterns ever forged in steel!!! One of my life dreams is to have one of your knives!!! I Love them All so much!!! I have tons of Damascus, but I have nothing even close to the quality of your work. Your worst (to you) piece is what knife makers dream of making it to!!! And you're so far beyond your worst piece it's unbelievable!!!

freaking amazing work Kyle.

Glad nobody got hurt in that explosion. Beautiful knife. Loved watching the process.

Woah, that's just straight up gorgeous 😮

Nothing like sanding, sanding and more sanding.. stunning finish👍

Love the new background!

Beautiful pattern... actually the best Damascus pattern I have ever seen.

My goodness you're the best I've ever seen. I have been working with wood for many years and I love grain patterns. Inlays can be beautiful but I can't believe my eyes you make metal beautiful. Wow I'm shocked. Good for you and your family!

yay! new project from Kyle! for a future project, I would LOVE to see you make a mosaic Damascus rapier. if you already made one, could you send me a link for the playlist? also, I only recently became aware that Will Willis, the host of Forged In Fire is no longer the host, someone else is. But I saw him in an interview about why he left the show, and as he listed his reasons, I could see why. will miss Will.

Giovanotto excellent! 👌👍

Just wonderful you are a real talent

man, you are totally insane, thank god! love your work to bits

That stare into the camera while sanding cracked me up 😂

So Excited for this build, and more excited for the stone handle, the other one was amazing, but purple isn’t my favorite, but blue is!!!!🎉

The stare at the camera while sanding had me rolling. Oh btw, PVC and compressed air dont mix. But now you know that

Like seriously how is this possible, God has blessed you with a gift thank you for sharing to the world we need to see your craftsmanship its out the gate 💪🏽💯

It was good, a work of art, congratulations on the result obtained. Silvio from Brazil 🇧🇷.

That looks absolutely awesome!!! I want to learn that pattern! Good job Kyle, your Damascus patters are unequivocally the best out there. Thanks for the video.

I love this build so far!!! That pattern is amazing!!!

Beautiful blade! Thanks for sharing your process. It makes me reflect on my practices and setup, especially at the press.

As a homeschooler and knifemaker myself, Kyle gives me loads of inspiration...will def be taking your courses when i get some side money

I like that you have a little fun with hand sanding 😂 because I know it's tedious

I like the face while hand sanding, it's fun =D

Love the videos in this format. Can't wait to see the rest of them and the finished knife!

Hi mate, I see your starting to do stone handles. I am a stone mason from England and if you’re looking for nice bits of natural stone, find a company that does kitchen worktops. All the slabs are 30mm thick and off it’s would be perfect for you. There’s so many beautiful natural materials that they just Chuck in the skip as it’s no use to them.

So waiting to see the rest of this build. Your knives are so amazing to see.

Insanely beautiful. I want to buy one!

This is one of your best videos by far! The commentary is great and the finished product looks amazing keep it up man❤️

Such a beautiful knife 👏👏

Kyle I draw and I’ll tell you this much ,you make the best Bowie knives I’ve ever seen

Stunning.

i wouldn't have thought the gold would survive the heat treat...Can't wait to see this beaut...it looks like the most expensive tie i have in my closet right now haha, gorgeous

Always an extreme pleasure to watch one of your videos.

Another masterpiece in the making, love your work dude 🤙

Wicked beauty.

You should be very proud Kyle! Your work is awesome!

This one is hilarious. I'm glad everyone is okay after the explosion. Thank you for sharing your work with us.

You are on a different level than anyone else. I hope to own one of your knives in my lifetime. Your work is just simply amazing. ….. Tom

Gorgeous!

What an incredible blade. Thank you for sharing your processes with us. I always learn new things watching your videos. I started making knives in March of this year and every new knife is greatly improved over the last. My humble forge is a work in progress as I continue to tool up as resources allow. Power tools like power hammer, shop press and specialty ovens will come one day.

Brilliant ❤ Awesome ❤

That's awesome looking! I love making giant bowies! Your work is motivating and inspiring! I need to up my skill set!

You are an absolute artist with making blades the pattern is very beautiful great work

Please upload more, your work is inspiring

Buddy it looks so good. A+ Life

OMG! Man that's awesome! I have to be honest, I've been working on other projects lately and haven't even watched the knife maker plus lessons but I'm subbed 👌. I still remember that first class! I learned so much. Thanks again for all of the great content and your art.

Another fascinating project to watch you make. It's coming together nicely. The pattern is stunning. Hope your blood pressure has normalised after the explosion! Hope you were all OK and no injuries

Your knifes are beautiful but if i am being honest I cannot belive with all the great equipment you have the compressed going through pvc!

That's awesome. I always thought that you had to stack the peices to forg weld.
