I asked a lot of knifemakers what one thing they could instantly be great at, and most of you guys said heat treating. So, I made a free course that is about 40 minutes long, teaching how I heat treat my blades using simple tools. You can watch that now.👉 www.learnknifemaking.com/heat-treat-sign-up
Try tumbling the stone next time, for the finish. May mean you need to set the handle in epoxy on the tang, remove from tang and plug the ends after shaping, then using the tumbler to finish.
When I clicked on the video I thought "How can a dagger be worth $24,000?" After watching the video I thought "How can this be worth only $24,000?" Amazing work! So much time and energy put into this piece of art!
I mean 24k for 3 months of work considering an 8 hour day is like $50 per hour. If this needs to pay for multiple people (videographer, editor, Kyle, shop hand, profit, material, expenses like flights) this gets to minimum wage really quick. If this was his only source of income and his sole form of income, this would be a ruinous price tag.
@unlink1649 it is if it's his only piece he's working on. He had to be working on other things over 3 months. A blade like this could be done in 2 weeks if you worked multiple hours a day 5 days a week. Based on the video consistency he has to be doing multiple projects at once
This gotta be the most amazing Dagger I have ever seen. It is magestic. I watched 42 minutes of something I didnt even care about and in the end I almost teared up because your accomplishment is amazing. Looks amazing... I wish I could buy it.
Great comment. His joy at what he does is apparent to all. Childish sense of humour intact, and its a wicked looking blade only a prince could afford, or be given as a gift by an unsuspecting king…
My 6 and 8 year old daughters watched the entire 42 minute video without budging! That's how awesome this project was to them. Thanks, and that's an astounding work of art!
I wish I knew and was exposed to great videos like this when I was 6! He's kind of goofy watching his this video and not ever seeing anything else from him - I was like, he's gotta be some kind of teacher for younger kids. So I didn't let his personality effect the way his craftsmanship comes out as in the end and reading the comments gives me hope that this trade is one that will live on and not be forgotten!
Brother I don’t know if you’re going to read this but I enjoy a bunch of peoples content like this but. This video right here. The quality. The detail. The journey to make what you made. The craftsmanship. The quality tools. Man this is deserves an award. Salutes to you brother. You are now someone I aspire to be. Subbed to of course haha
Show it in Japan circa 1450 and they would laugh their arses off. This blade is a joke compared to what they made. All these comments sucking his dick and the guy sharpened it on a fucking belt sander. It's ridiculous. Granted, it looks pretty good, but it is nothing to what the Japanese were capable of, no machines, no modern forge, totally hand made and a million times more beautiful and functional.
@@Unlimit3d1992 They absolutely would not, they'd be _entranced_ by it. What do you even _mean_ it has nothing to do with forging? Is your brain so rotted by tiktok you couldn't even pay attention past the _first minute?_ Just because _you_ glorify the blacksmiths of old doesn't mean they'd be stuck in their ways unwilling to learn to use new techniques and tools - or that they'd likewise be unable to appreciate a gorgeous piece of blacksmithing.
@@Unlimit3d1992 lol just because he's using machines instead of hammers that means what he's doing has nothing to do with forging? He's literally forging... just with machines, and not only that but he DOES use a hammer and anvil at 22:42 so I guess you werent paying much attention. Just because way back in the day the only tools a blacksmith had were his anvil and hammers that doesnt mean that they didnt adapt to the times and start using machines once they were widely available. That is an evolution of one job, the blacksmith/forger, the name doesnt change just because they got new tools. As long as they are performing the same actions to make the same products they are doing the same job. By your way of thinking a mechanic at a car garage is less and less of a mechanic every time he gets a new tool to work with. Bought a new tire seater so you dont have to seat tires manually anymore? Well, now youre not a mechanic youre a something else that we need to find a new name for. wtf? 🤨
Something I’ve noticed about Kyle’s videos is that he’s not afraid to say he loves the results after each process. It’s difficult for perfectionists to like what they’ve done, often to the detriment of their mental wellbeing but Kyle seems to have impossibly high standards but yet be able to enjoy a job well done. Kudos Sir.
i understand your question as i feel the same when i create stuff. i think the difference is when you work with something for so long and then the finish all depends on something that might take seconds or minutes to determen if it will do, like color/dye/casting and so on that changes the piece so dramaticlay your heart almost drop just to see if it works or not then get stunned by how good it came out. its like dyeing a leather object you carved for a long time and finaly see the finish or pattern welded steel once you see the pattern :)
I suffer from the same, and it's true now and then you ruin the piece and start over. To combat the tendency I have to constantly tell myself "excellence will do" There is nothing perfect in this world and it takes forever to not achieve the goal, it's a curse.
I'm a tiler who has thought about knife making for a few years now even bought a heap of tools to start but I'm that perfectionist with my tiling I know learning I'll make something I think is just ugly 😂 it's kinda a block I need to get over but between ADHD and perfectionism I haven't started a year after buying the tools
@@dillonhayes3402 This is your sign to do it man. Hmu when you've made your first knife, if you're willing to sell, I'll buy it from you no matter if it's "perfect" or not
Your relationship with your dad is so cute to see. His little excited old man run after he puts in the mentos is adorable. The blade came out beautiful, amazing work. Never stop making things...you have an amazing skill for this.
seems like every blacksmith/knife forger type channel I watch, whenever they get down to the sharpening of the blade, you can see where their passion for the creativity part turns to "work". The part they hate, dread, or just have tired of over time. Their face just drains of life.
Everything Kyle Royer does is Gold. Its always so encouraging to see a real person have success. And also the fact that he has brought his whole family into his dream business is amazing.
@@davecoil4962 Ok, I believe this is a fair and equal opportunity for you to produce something half as good as Kyle, film it, and make better comedic repertoire in said video. If you post something like that you have to back it up.
"shows the importance of family " as someone who grew up basically fatherless and became a dysfunctional 29 yo chronically unemployed neet addicted to furry cement encasement prn, I felt that
Every time I watch one of your vids I ask myself "what the hell have you done with your life?"....the craftsmanship, the attention to detail, the love, the joy...mate you bring it all to the table. You sir are an inspiration. Well done!
I love knives. I have collection with one Damascus Bowie knife. It's a monster. I had a dagger like it with a Ram's horn handle, but I sold it. You made the most beautiful dagger I've ever seen. Worth every penny. What an incredible artist you are.
I appreciate the callouts to your dad and the work he did in setup etc. Always good to recognize the people that came before us and the help they've provided to our own safety and success.
@@tl2402Taking into consideration all the hours, various skills and workmanship that went into the construction I think he underpriced it. He sourced everything himself, constructed, fitted, sanded, polished and finished the piece himself. The blade is also a one if a kind piece-- no other exists or will exist just quite like it ever again. He is a master artisan and deserves to be compensated accordingly.
You know what I like about this? Most high end video smith's have a stoic and serious sense to their builds to build the seriousness of the item. Nahhhhhh not here, we do like actually blacksmiths do and happily guesstimate the hell out of everything and be jovial about the practice.
There was a time when a man would spent a lifetime perfecting one craft. One craft that would birth works of art that would inspire generation of people to come. Kyle Royer is following in that tradition. Pure works of art. Beautiful and one of a kind.
Actually that time was completely repressive, where you had to follow your father's profession and there was no provision in the society for changing your gig. Artisans perfect many crafts not just one.
@@johnsmith1474 I am truly impressed with the ventilation system his dad built into the workshop. To be able to share that forgery & shop as a family, and add the niche videography and chance-success of youtube, is also cool. Not that he couldn't have left for a law degree, or go become something else there are too many of in the world; but I am in favor of carrying on family traditions! Especially all the capital invested in that amazing shop. That's some artisan equipment and he's a true artist:) I've been an IBM Lab Services consultant for 30 years, but I'd trade it all to be able to have my dad back and turn wrenches with him in his old shop 12 hours a day M-F. Here's to family values and fathers. (...And Moms)
This is beyond spectacular, I accidentally started watching this while doom scrolling with TH-cam playing in the background. Once I saw the mosaic pattern on the blade I was hooked. I watched every second and even shed a tear when it all came together. I only wish I had the money to buy this blade because I’ve never seen a more beautiful work of art in my life.
@@elementalist1984 honestly im not even into blacksmithing, this just came up on my feed and i was mesmerised by the skill and effort that went into this blade
Watching a master at work is amazing. His finished products are as close to perfection as a human can achieve. His blades would have been proudly carried by the kings of old.
Dude, I love that we’re getting content, but I can’t lie either: would love another video on the Griffin sword. I was absolutely loving that design and pattern.
If anyone deserves success its you dude.. An INSANELY talented blade smith using tools you build with your dad 20 yrs ago to start a hobby with.. Now its a family business. You sir, have made it. Amazing work, prolly my favorite knife so far
Wow. The skills and knowledge required here is off the charts! Artisans that existed 100s of years ago would be blown away but what can be done now. So good to see that you’re combining traditional methods with new and pushing the boundaries of what’s achievable. Awesome build so impressive!
I'm not gonna lie. I clicked on this video thinking there's no way this knife is gonna be worth twenty four thousand dollars. I will now freely and with good conscience say, that I was wrong! I now know why this knife is worth the price. He'll, really should be more than that. That is officially the most beautiful blade and knife as a whole I have EVER seen! Just incredible the time, SKILL and work that was put in to create such an amazing piece of art. Just incredible.
@breeknow I recognize him as the greatest. My brother has a Royer axe he won in a drawing for firefighters. Just a basic axe.I still told him to never get rid of it.
Ghads... I don't even feel qualified to comment. In a word. Artisan. Almost like the word was created to describe this guys work. It's like a Master Craftsman leveled to SSS rank after obtaining a hidden profession.
WoW! An absolute masterpiece Dagger! 👏 YES, Please more Stone handles! Also I absolutely love the Pro Cinematography, editing, Videography and comedy! These videos are an All-around master class in TH-cam knife-making content. Well done gents! 🍻
It's absolutely perfect, the shots at 40:17 make it literally look like a 3d model with how perfect the finish is, so smooth and clear that it looks out of place on any kind of background.
Gorgeous work on the dagger! Sweet shop setup too. As a machinist I greatly appreciate the vent system your dad made. If anyone has had so machine cast iron, or grind anything, they understand this.
You just crafted a Legendary item. Too bad it was in human capabilities, it could have been Mythical ;-) ! Well done, i will never forget this piece of art !
Out of many people who forge something on youtube, this may be the only stuff I respect. That's because you forge, press, fold and re-do all those again and again. If I'm not wrong, that's how they harden the prime katanas traditionally.
Dude. I never have any way to understand how I should comment how your work makes me feel. I could write an entire essay down here. This is probably the most beautiful handmade object Ive ever seen in my entire life. I. Am at a loss for what I can even say.
*THIS IS FABERGE LEVEL PERFECTION* and $24k is cheap for what it is. Im sure in decades to come it will change hands for 10X this. Do you get future sale royalties like an artist would...?
I watch youtube since i was 13 years old.... Am 20 now...and i watch a lot of videos of people making, crafting, building stuff..... This is the best one i ever saw... Blade... Simply perfection... Handle... God damn... (it reminds me a lot of dark matter camo from cod bo6😂😂), this video is a treat for my eyes... But we need a sword like this one... That would be cool to see tooo
I could never afford this, nor do I have any idea why I spent 25 minutes watching this, but... That dagger is gorgeous. Your workmanship is outstanding. It was messmerizing to watch this from start to end
I just random came across this channel. And I have to say : DUUUUUDE! THIS DAGGER IS THE MOST INCREDIBLE KNIFE I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!!!!!!! BOTH IRL AND IN GAMES ETC! TRIPPLE THUMBS UP!
The greatest Dagger Ive ever seen. Incredible workmanship - skills like these are so rare these days its great so see it still thriving with people like you. Amazing work. If I had the money, Id love one of these in my display!
I’ve been watching him for years I’ve told all my friends about him. No one can compare to his detail . He never disappoints with the anything he does 😂 my wish is to see one in person lol
Your video randomly popped up and im glad I clicked it! Words cant explain how amazed I am with your craftsmanship! I must've said out loud OMG every 5 minutes max! You're truly a master at your craft and im thankful to have been able to see it. Thank you for sharing your skills! You're extremely talented 🙏
At what point does a knife become jewelry! This is absolutely insane! The attention to detail is out of this world! It's like making a Rolex that can cut stuff and things. Absolutely amazing Kyle!
Lol! Next time concerning the mentos and diet coke routine... I would suggest getting a small washer that reacts to a magnet. Then get a neodymium magnet or a strong magnet etc... Then take off diet coke bottle cap, place the piece of mentos candy inside the bottle cap on the inside... Then place the washer over the mentos piece, next put the magnet on the top of the outside of the bottle cap! That will magnetize the washer and this pull towards towards the magnet and therefore holding the candy piece under the cap!.... Now, screw the cap back on bottle... And when you're ready, just remove the magnet away from the bottle cap! That will cause the washer to drop down to the bottom of the inside of the diet coke bottle, and also allow the mentos candy to drop down into diet soda solution and you will have the cap threaded tightly into bottle well before you have the reaction activated! Just seemed like a solution to a hectic routine you had going there! And so that popped into my head when I watched it! 👍🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼
This was one of the most incredible knives i have ever seen and i would have loved to been able to afford or make something like that. Absolutely stunning. Its so funny because his personality is so different than other weoponsmiths and he reminds me of someone who wouldnt even know how to use a tape measure but his craftsmanship is something out of this world.
At first I was thinking "who the hell would spend 24k on a knife?" After watching all the work that went into it I understand now. God that is SO BEAUTIFUL !
Never seen one of your vids before but this one earned a subscribe. It reminds of all the great "build" shows i used to watch on Discovery or Histort or even TLC back in the day but without all the drama or BS. Incredible cinematography, informative AF, and a true showcase of incredible craftsmanship. Most engaging 42 minutes of youtube I've watched in a long time

Haha same! I was mesmerized... has it sold yet? How much?
Thats what I was thinking, but DAAAAAAMN this is amazing

I thought the exact same!
Unless someone actually buys it, it is worthless for now.
I mean 24k for 3 months of work considering an 8 hour day is like $50 per hour.

I'm not gonna lie. I clicked on this video thinking there's no way this knife is gonna be worth twenty four thousand dollars.
I will now freely and with good conscience say, that I was wrong!
I now know why this knife is worth the price.
He'll, really should be more than that.
That is officially the most beautiful blade and knife as a whole I have EVER seen!
Just incredible the time, SKILL and work that was put in to create such an amazing piece of art. Just incredible.
You might as well be the greatest knife maker currently.
I'm not sure of course, but you're WAAAAYYY up there.
WOW
@breeknow I recognize him as the greatest. My brother has a Royer axe he won in a drawing for firefighters. Just a basic axe.I still told him to never get rid of it.
You got so lucky with that charoite. That stuff normally flakes and cracks like crazy unless you stablize it. Even luckier since you used a tile saw.
Ghads... I don't even feel qualified to comment. In a word. Artisan. Almost like the word was created to describe this guys work.
It's like a Master Craftsman leveled to SSS rank after obtaining a hidden profession.
WoW! An absolute masterpiece Dagger! 👏 YES, Please more Stone handles! Also I absolutely love the Pro Cinematography, editing, Videography and comedy! These videos are an All-around master class in TH-cam knife-making content. Well done gents! 🍻
This dagger would be fit for a KING in the old medieval days, incredibly well done!
I am genuinely stunned, baffled, blown away, dumbfounded, downright befuddled. This is beautiful.
It's absolutely perfect, the shots at 40:17 make it literally look like a 3d model with how perfect the finish is, so smooth and clear that it looks out of place on any kind of background.
Yep! Should put it in some 3D art community as a joke.
They would say he needs to add more imperfection or it looks unrealistic!
@@kettenotterthat would be a legendary troll.
You aren’t just a knife maker. You are an artist. Masterpiece.
24000 dollars. You sold it cheap my friend. Amasing, I could look at it all day long
This was a good review- I like watching the whole process in one video, and the knife is a work of art. Thanks for posting!
Gorgeous work on the dagger! Sweet shop setup too. As a machinist I greatly appreciate the vent system your dad made. If anyone has had so machine cast iron, or grind anything, they understand this.
WOW!!!! You have an artist's eye and a Craftsman's hands. That dagger belongs in a museum it is absolutely stunning!!!!
Where is the Griffon sword finale? I was loving that series and then it stopped just before the end
This dagger instantly became legendary. Masterpiece, hats off
You just crafted a Legendary item. Too bad it was in human capabilities, it could have been Mythical ;-) !
Well done, i will never forget this piece of art !
If i ever get ritualistically sacrificed I choose that blade to complete the offering.
the stone makes this one of the top youtube blades i have ever seen man. Congratulations on all the hard work.
0:17 what’s the music called playing in the background?
Epic voyage from dream cave
Future world music, victory of life. Very similar just more epic
@@mikej557 no the first guy was right, it is Epic Voyage by Dream Cave
2000s Michal bays transformers theme song
This glorious blade needs a full suit of armor to match.
Ain't no blacksmith unless he makes a matching set of Armour.... That's a given
Out of many people who forge something on youtube, this may be the only stuff I respect. That's because you forge, press, fold and re-do all those again and again. If I'm not wrong, that's how they harden the prime katanas traditionally.
24,000$ was underselling that blade. That's the kind of hand-crafted opulance that I would expect to be reserved for kings and oil barons.

Dude. I never have any way to understand how I should comment how your work makes me feel. I could write an entire essay down here. This is probably the most beautiful handmade object Ive ever seen in my entire life. I. Am at a loss for what I can even say.
I call you "The King's Armorer" because in the days of serfdom and monarchs, you certainly would have been.
We are still in the days of serfdom and monarchs...
@@rootbeer4888 you need to read up on what those two things are, because they certainly do not exist now, at least in the US.
This is honestly one of the most beautiful works of art I have ever seen. Totally worth the painstaking efforts i think
"I built a Daedric Artifact IRL"
*THIS IS FABERGE LEVEL PERFECTION* and $24k is cheap for what it is.
Im sure in decades to come it will change hands for 10X this. Do you get future sale royalties like an artist would...?
one of the best blacksmiths arts of work i've ever seen
10:50 hello
Where griffin sword
Check out my instagram story for Griffin update. @kyleroyerknives
I watch youtube since i was 13 years old.... Am 20 now...and i watch a lot of videos of people making, crafting, building stuff..... This is the best one i ever saw... Blade... Simply perfection... Handle... God damn... (it reminds me a lot of dark matter camo from cod bo6😂😂), this video is a treat for my eyes... But we need a sword like this one... That would be cool to see tooo
18:29 Please never do that again. You're scaring the children.
"I Built A $24,000 Dagger :3 "
That some moron filled with money will buy😂
uwu
Unbelievable... It's so cool to see people still creating the absolute best product that can be made... by hand.
Incredible!
Kyle you do exceptional work. So exceptional that knife was worth $75,000.00. Absolutely museum quality!!
I could never afford this, nor do I have any idea why I spent 25 minutes watching this, but... That dagger is gorgeous. Your workmanship is outstanding. It was messmerizing to watch this from start to end
waaw... what a masterpiece... you're really an artist. the damascus pattern, the gold lining, the stone... everything so beautiful
That is a thing of beauty. The purple stone handle is incredible.
wow. great work. 42 minutes of my life went in to a pure form of entertainment, unlike other TH-cam videos : ) Congrats, and keep up the good work.
Wow 45 minutes of getting my mind and eyes blown!!! Absolutely amazing work
I just random came across this channel. And I have to say : DUUUUUDE! THIS DAGGER IS THE MOST INCREDIBLE KNIFE I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!!!!!!! BOTH IRL AND IN GAMES ETC! TRIPPLE THUMBS UP!
The greatest Dagger Ive ever seen. Incredible workmanship - skills like these are so rare these days its great so see it still thriving with people like you. Amazing work. If I had the money, Id love one of these in my display!
I love how the video is super serious and technical, and then you add in funny little clips that always make me laugh!
Probably one the most beautiful weapons I've ever seen forged. Well done!! 10/10!!!
Wow, I don't even know how i started to watch this video but was enthralled by it, that was the most amazing dagger build I've ever seen!
I’ve been watching him for years I’ve told all my friends about him. No one can compare to his detail . He never disappoints with the anything he does 😂 my wish is to see one in person lol
Your video randomly popped up and im glad I clicked it! Words cant explain how amazed I am with your craftsmanship! I must've said out loud OMG every 5 minutes max! You're truly a master at your craft and im thankful to have been able to see it. Thank you for sharing your skills! You're extremely talented 🙏
At what point does a knife become jewelry! This is absolutely insane! The attention to detail is out of this world! It's like making a Rolex that can cut stuff and things. Absolutely amazing Kyle!
I love how you mention the ventilation system your dad installed thats amazing how much of a unit and team you are.
The most technical knife making process I have every seen in my life 👍👏🏽👏🏽
Lol! Next time concerning the mentos and diet coke routine... I would suggest getting a small washer that reacts to a magnet. Then get a neodymium magnet or a strong magnet etc... Then take off diet coke bottle cap, place the piece of mentos candy inside the bottle cap on the inside... Then place the washer over the mentos piece, next put the magnet on the top of the outside of the bottle cap! That will magnetize the washer and this pull towards towards the magnet and therefore holding the candy piece under the cap!.... Now, screw the cap back on bottle... And when you're ready, just remove the magnet away from the bottle cap! That will cause the washer to drop down to the bottom of the inside of the diet coke bottle, and also allow the mentos candy to drop down into diet soda solution and you will have the cap threaded tightly into bottle well before you have the reaction activated! Just seemed like a solution to a hectic routine you had going there! And so that popped into my head when I watched it! 👍🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼
This randomly got suggested to my feed... No idea why I'm watching it, but amazing craftsmanship, absolutely amazing... subbed!
This was one of the most incredible knives i have ever seen and i would have loved to been able to afford or make something like that. Absolutely stunning. Its so funny because his personality is so different than other weoponsmiths and he reminds me of someone who wouldnt even know how to use a tape measure but his craftsmanship is something out of this world.
This video makes me appreciate the work that people go through.
At first I was thinking "who the hell would spend 24k on a knife?" After watching all the work that went into it I understand now. God that is SO BEAUTIFUL !
Creo que tras ver cientos de videos de forja, por el momento este trabajo es el mejor que jamás he visto hasta hoy. INCREIBLE TRABAJO
Just casually scrolling TH-cam thinking I’ll only watch 10 mins of this video and 42 mins later I’m still here and in awe. That dagger is beautiful!
Never seen one of your vids before but this one earned a subscribe. It reminds of all the great "build" shows i used to watch on Discovery or Histort or even TLC back in the day but without all the drama or BS. Incredible cinematography, informative AF, and a true showcase of incredible craftsmanship.
Most engaging 42 minutes of youtube I've watched in a long time
You make the best looking products I think I have seen in almost any category, they just happen to be knives.
That's the most beautiful legendary mastercrafted weapon I've ever seen
