About Me
“The world needs more makers.” ~ RoyerX
Being from a family of creatives whose motto was to produce not to consume was etched into Kyle from a very early age and being educated at home gave him many opportunities to work hard at his own creative pursuits.
At eighteen, Kyle graduated high school and two weeks later received his Journeyman Smith Stamp and a rare double win of the George Peck Award and Bill Moran Award, “the 18-year-old prodigy”, “the blazing bladesmith” was what BLADE Magazine labeled him. Following that victory in November 2009 BLADE Magazine ran a special five-page spread “That Young and That Good”, the article went on to say “His ability to masterfully execute new designs, processes and artistic damascus patterns is remarkable. In spite of his young age, his fit/finish and attention to detail is representative of some of today's most known and sought after makers.” He was one of two to achieve Mastersmith by the age of twenty. His knives and his skills are highly sought after worldwide.
In the early years, if you weren’t at a knife show or a hammer-in, learning from the masters, information was hard to find, there was no online content and only a few books and videos, so it was a lot of trial and error in the knife shop. Kyle is passionate to teach makers his more than fourteen years of experience.
“The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.” We hope we can inspire you on your maker’s journey.
Thanks for watching
Enjoy!

This has to be one of the most perfect swords ever made.
Thanks!
@@KyleRoyerKnives
I think Stan Lee would be proud
Yes i agree
ONLY thing I would change is slightly dulling the pommel nut! Otherwise its perfection!!! A KING would pay chests of gold for this. CHESTS.
Forge in fire champions: we surrender!
If that sword was in an RPG, it would be legendary.
it'd be pay to win content
you'd need to kill the final boss in the maximum difficulty twice in less than 1 minute to get this weapon
More like mythic or divine grade! It looks impeccable, the level of perfection is surreal.
This is a masterpiece one of the most beautiful and one-of-a-kind swords I have seen it looks amazing you did a wonderful job
mythical
This is honestly one of the most impressive hand built things I've ever seen, his finish work had my jaw dropped
Hey thanks my friend
Team Royer
This man gives a new definition to perfection
That must be the most beautiful and elegant looking sword I have ever seen. And that includes even most of the swords you see in video games (if not every sword). Well done.
Hey thanks B-wing
Keep Forging On my friend
Dad
Absolutely beautiful. Your attention to detail is truly second to none. Soooooo gewd
Love seeing all my favorite creators on TH-cam giving everyone some love . Kyle is so underrated he should have 100s of thousands of more subs!
I waunt thayt.
It gave me wewd
At first I thought the handle was wewd
Well said Bobby!!!
Holy shit Kyle, that pommel is insane, so is the complete sword. They should update your status to LEGENDARY Blacksmith !
He's a whole 'nother level. Unreal
Right, hahaha ?
Seriously. Master just doesn’t do him justice
@@RoyaleWitCheese04 There should be a grand master title xD
You can end everyone rightly with that pommel!
That star pattern Damascus is breathtaking!
And the lines in the handle grip are so elegant.
Awesome work!
Poetic.
That sword needs a full name - it's transcended Excelsior. That thing's a tongue wagger right there.
Gorgeous.
Imagine if you could take this back and show it to a smith of its era. He would be in awe.
He would say it is a magic sword forged by GOD.
With the equipment he used
Even the pommel is a masterpiece in itself!
never in my life have i witnessed someone so genuinely in love with his craft to the point of absolute detail, passion, and happiness upon completing a piece of art. you sir give me hope that humanity is not completely lost to insanity.
Hey thanks my friend. Glad you’re enjoying the vids Taurus
Without Christ Jesus as Lord and Saviour, the world is lost to insanity...
Its either Christ or chaos!
@john heiskell ah, my friend, you fall under the category of a fool, this is not derogatory, but a moral indictment.
You have all creation pointing to God, and you are presently suppressing the truth in unrighteousness, self deceived.
Psalm 14:1 The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.
This is not an attack, but you know God exists, even though you deny it, it will always come to the surface, and at night you can't escape the reality of God, because you are made in His image, and you live in God's world.
The truth is, we have all sinned, (me included) and the Bible says that the wages of sin is death. And God is just, therefore we must die for our sins against God and other people like ourselves.
But God became a man and dwelt among us, and died on the cross to pay for the sins of all who would ever believe/trust in Him, and was raised from the dead on the third day, the Lord Jesus Christ.
This Jesus has all authority in Heaven, and on earth. Matthew 28:18-20
He is everyone's judge. 2 Timothy 4:1
He is the ONLY Savior! Acts 4:12
You have no hope but Jesus, but the wrath of God abides on you, flee the wrath of God, and cling to Jesus!
Repent, and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ!
@john heiskell proof of "any" god, i would say the fact we are sentient beings is proof of something, maybe not a god in the religious sense but proof nonetheless of a sentient universe. Everytime we gaze out at the night sky we are a tiny fraction of the universe gazing out at itself.
@john heiskell Westminster called they seemed to have lost one of their idiots.
Incredible, he uses no epoxy on the final fit, everything just clicks together!
Well done!!
This is the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen. Ever. It almost makes me want to stop making knives for a second because I feel like the bar is so dang high. You’re seriously an inspiration and I feel like I know I have the patience and attention to the detail to do all of this, but your creativity is out of this world. Thank you so much for sharing all of this with us. I can’t tell you how much it means.
Hey thanks simsalien
We have online courses and a monthly membership if your interested in leveling up your knife making skills
Glad you’re here my friend

The Universe: Perfection is unachievable.
Kyle Royer: Hold my coffee.
There's definitely something cathartic about watching him create something perfect.
@@adrianedlington2493 Well said, I think cathartic is probably the best way to describe Kyle's finished pieces.
Kyle, was the customer Archangel? Mosaic pattern is out of this world. Your work always puts a smile on my face.
Holy shit SLAVIK TELY didn't know you were a fan of Kyle. Makes sense though your knives also have that crisp clean look.
@@lukeevans1945 everyone is a fan of Kyle.
@@lukeevans1945 I am amazed at the work Kyle does. This channel offers way more tips and tricks how to make a knife than mine. Don't forget, I am still learning ;-) and this is the channel where I go to learn new tricks.
Thanks for the kind words Slavic! I really appreciate it! I especially enjoy making mosaic damascus. It’s almost time to start the forge for the next project! The customer was not Archangel. Thanks again!
Your cooperation would be super cool to be seen ;) just an idea
I have never seen anyone who enjoys his work half as much as this dude , true MASTERCLASS
That is one of most beautiful things I've ever seen, and I love how thorough you are. It really shows in the quality.
The fact that this is one of the most premier swords currently forged and made in this world today and it was a forged in a minion is a level of irony that is not lost on me.
All the nice stuff in this world was done by minions. All the elite do is make up fake money and trick us into using it and they get all the stuff we build but can't afford to keep for ourselves. What a scam fake paper currency is.
@@DIYDaveT In a minion. Not by a minion. Watch the video then chill out and go get some fresh air.
@Billy William lol you think the earth is felt too?
@Billy William alright bud enjoy your conspiracies
@Billy William touch
In all my years of watching swords get crafted, I have NEVER seen such a beautiful Damascus pattern. I would kill for for a blade like that.
You probably would have to! ;)
U need to add vanadium to mame real damascus steel
Grog
This sword turned out to an epic masterpiece. Absolutely flippin astounding .🔥
This sword has got to be the most beautiful thing i have ever seen. Congrats on finishing the sword it is absolutely jaw dropping definitely a masterpiece :)
Hey thanks Gain
Kyle
If I was royalty, I'd commission this guy in a heartbeat
Well get to

And backstabbing

@@youbannedmealready5825 wait what happened
@@forevermarked5826 P£dos in the royal family...
OMG This sword puts Excalibur to shame. Merlin would bow down to Mr. Royer . You’re a true alchemist. I love it.
This is some master craftsmanship right here. Truly amazing!
Literally the most beautiful sword I've ever seen, congrats on producing such a piece of art
Hey thanks 3518
Cheers
Team Royer
In medieval times: having a Kyle Royer sword would be the ultimate flex on those other peasant Knights
Peasant Kings. A common knight's sword would be more akin to a butterknife in comparison.
Facts, this is something on par with what was commissioned for kings
@@nyalan8385 well above my friend. They would think the gods had handed down another Excalibur or Caliburn.
dunno, never seen his work actually put to the test... it looks amazing, but chances are 50/50 it would snap in half if actually used in any type of battle.
@@nyalan8385 If it aint peened it aint a sword :P
it must really be an incredible feeling to look at something like that and think "i made that. myself."
It’s a good feeling. What have you put your heart and soul into that brings that same feeling. It’s not always monumental 👍🏻🔥☕️⚔️. Glad you’re here my friend. Be safe and be careful. Merry Christmas
@@KyleRoyerKnives aw, thank you for the lovely response, and Merry Christmas to you and yours too ❤️
Pattern-welded steel can be amazingly beautiful when done correctly by a master; this blade is a work of art in itself, and fittings, fit, and finish only make the entire sword all the more a masterwork.
Wow I honestly enjoyed that show very much. I’m an old man that spent many a year doing the same work. You son are the most talented blacksmith magician I have ever seen. Good for you. I look forward to seeing more of you’re journey building these beauties.
Peace✌🏻🇺🇸✌🏻🇺🇸✌🏻
A sword for royalty, this honestly deserves a place in history
That's a grade of sword I won't have any money for in the next 10 years, man that's gorgeous!
You just have to choose, do you want that sword or do you want a place to sleep and food to eat for the next 5-7 years of your lifer?
You are truly a master of your craft. The attention to detail left me speechless. This is a masterpiece. Just STUNNING!
Look just how happy this guy is. Seeing him smiling through out the video makes me happy. I'm happy you are happy
Happy happy happy
👍🏻☕️🔥⚔️
This sword looks like it glows brightly in the presence of evil.
maybe Carsomyr...
Carsomyr is a weapon of legend, perhaps one of the most powerful blades ever forged on Faerûn, though its origin and history is thought purposefully forgotten so that the sword itself shall never overshadow the importance of the struggles that must be fought today. It is infused with the very essence of virtue, and requires as much from any Paladin that would hope to wield it. The evils of the realms must truly stand aside when this weapon is brought to bear, their magic dispelled with a word, steadfastly resisted with ease. Carsomyr also harbors a special distaste for the forces of evil and chaos, and such creatures must fear additional damage from its touch in battle.
@@Citizen052 where does that come from?
@@marcusrauch4223 Baldur's Gate 2, probably the best game I played.
@Jeremy Stephens Could not agree more with you. But as games, the atmosphere of the old D&D games are unsurpassed and I, like many others, am nostalgic for them.
I've never seen something like this before, this is perfection, this is art, this is dedication , i love every bit of that sword ❤️.
👍🏻☕️🔥⚔️
@@KyleRoyerKnives
By iron, coffee and fire 🗡️
😄
@@adelbenhaoues1867 I've seen precisely one sword like this before, made by the guys on the "ThatWorks" youtube channel. they made one a year or two back for blade show, and the similarities are insane.
i.ytimg.com/vi/cnDkviyPOwE/maxresdefault.jpg
*edit:* Yeah, turns out, It was made by this guy, the video i saw was on their channel... That says something, that a sword I saw a year or more ago is so memorable I can spot its brother.
@@spamhonx56 yup, his work is like no other
That pattern is absolutely mesmerizing
Aloha Kyle...Your sense of Joy in your Creations is positively enjoyable to watch.
Mahalo from Maui...
I can’t even begin to put into words how utterly outstanding this piece is. That is hands down the most exquisite sword I’ve ever seen. Also, fact you documented the whole process making massively increases its value I think. I can just imagine people viewing this piece in a museum hundreds of years from now and watching these videos, seeing you as one of the best makers of our era, maybe even of all time. Congratulations!
That's not a Sword... That's ART! Amazing job! You are a true artist Mr. Royer
Best regards from Argentina
Yes truly art.
Hey thanks Lyduf. May God bless Argentina, you and your crew 👍🏻🔥☕️⚔️. Merry Christmas
Team Royer
Heya Kyle you autta go on the show
FORGED IN FIRE . I believe you'll take the prize & be on TV so you can also get a wider audience Worldwide . Your work & craftsmanship is superb . Spot on Kyle .
Jeez, I'd be stoked just having that thing drop for me in a game.
It's the most fiercely elegant and beautiful sword I've ever seen.
this guy is not a blacksmith: he is a machine that turns coffee into art
Feeling the love my friend
Merry Christmas 👍🏻☕️🔥⚔️
Dad
Wow Great Job on the Sword !!!
I've watched this video like 5 times now, every time I just stare in awe at the Excelsior.
Lancelot: 'Hey Arthur, you have an apointment with the lady of the lake in an hour'
Arthur: 'Hold my mead, I have an apointment with Kyle Royer'
Too funny my friend. Thanks Andre
Team Royer
That explains why the sword was so good lady of the lake had an entire workshop.
hands down best piece of work i’d even dare to say art i’ve ever seen and i’ve been watching blacksmithing and blade smithing on youtube for over 7 years now
Bro that looks amazing!
You are a true craftsman sir the world needs more people like you
I'm a little late but that damascus was absolutely stunning! It blew my mind how a person could even make something like that! You are one hell of a guy! cheers!
You've made Stan Lee incredibly happy wherever he is.
He's in Valhalla.
Man I’ve seen “art” in museums that don’t even compare to how beautiful this sword is.
That is a piece of art that should be in a glass cabinet in a museum
This sword is absolutely GORGEOUS!!! You have amazing attention to detail. The blue and gold is beautiful. I wish i could afford to put it into my collection and hang it on my wall. Well done, Sir.
Hey thanks Mic
Kyle
I'm not gonna lie I got a little emotional on seeing the assembled end result, it's absolutely stunning. If the folks at ABS ever decide to add a rank above Master Smith (I suggest Ultimate Smithing Overlord) you're the first to deserve it.
Congratulations on finishing this gorgeous masterpiece! Or should I say Ultimate Smithing Overlordpiece?
If this where to be a Lord of the Rings Sword, it would be the combined work of men, elves, dwarves and the valar!
Surely mere gold would warrant an upgrade to mithril?
Exquisite work! No other word fits. Your patience and perfection are beyond measure. Congratulations!
I've been addicted to watching blacksmith and bladesmith videos on youtube for at least 5 years now and I gotta say, this is the most beautiful and awesome sword I seen someone build. Thank you for sharing the expirience.
Glad you’re here hanging out with us my friend
Dad
That is the Rolls Royce of swords. It looks amazing.
Needs to be in a museum and studied for centuries.
That sword is the definition of perfect beauty.
Stunning work of art! I really appreciate your hard work on making such a beautiful sword.
Omg I literally gasped when this popped up for me. I’m getting comfortable ready to watch perfection! Thanks for this Royer’s!
"Very bright was that sword when it was made; the light of the sun shone redly in it, and the light of the moon shone cold, and its edge was hard and keen. And Kyle gave it a new name and called it Excelsior, perfection incarnate."
Seriously though, there are a lot of very talented smiths out there these days, but your work is orders of magnitude above the rest. Another masterpiece from our master smith.
Awesome Amehdion
Thanks. Be careful and be safe
Merry Christmas my friend
Dad
one of the most amazingly beautiful swords I've EVER seen! Glamdring's got nothing on this!
Thus guy makes the most beautiful swords I've seen in my life.
That end scene brought up so many emotions. I nearly cried. That sword. Touched me in places i never thought were possible...
Feeling the love my friend 👍🏻🔥⚔️☕️
Be safe and be careful. Merry Christmas
Dad
Don’t let that sword touch you in the wrong places, as sharp as that is, you’d end up losing something valuable!😳
Wow. No words could describe how amazing that sword looks like. Absolutely perfect. Thanks for showing us the progress leading up to it.
WOW! Words can not describe the beauty and craftsmanship! Impressive my friend... I couldn't imagine putting a price on this!
That is true perfection forged into physical form. Stunning doesn’t begin to describe the beauty you have created.
That sword is probably the finest that has ever been made. Literally.
I think you might be right. I never knew things like this could be made!
@Jeremy Stephens hammer welded steel is pretty strong, and the tang doesn’t have any obvious visual stress points
@Jeremy Stephens if it’s properly forged isn’t Damascus welded together? I can’t imagine a Damascus sword would be too much weaker than a regular sword if it’s been properly fused
A jewel wrought from steel. Magnificent.
Absolutely magnificent. I can only imagine the feeling when the sword was assembled..all those parts clicking right into place perfectly then the clean up and handling. Epic. Great work sir.
Yusssssssss! Typing up before I've finished the video as man I'm only going to say the same thing. I literally picked up a ball vise off the back of your last video, been learning engraving in the meantime, can't wait to reveal some progress in 5 years!
That's crazy because every episode of yours, I think the same thing - I aspire to have my future PC build even half as stunning or creative as yours. You guys are both able to produce such amazing craftsmanship out of a small space in your home which just impresses me even more. Keep up the great content, both of you :D
@@willkern6 Thank you so much! Tomorrow should be a gooood day haha
Hey thanks WCKern
Kyle
Good to have you hanging out with us all bit-tech. Merry Christmas 👍🏻🔥☕️⚔️
Team Royer
Both of you are truly inspiring 😬
That's not just the most beautiful sword I've ever seen, It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen! Can't wait to see what you'll do next!
That’s absolutely stunning - amazing craftsmanship!!!
Impossible not to subscribe to this channel after being this mesmerized by something crafted so remarkably well. It’s probably unparalleled by just about any other forged weapon.
Feeling the love my friend
Dad
This sword was an amazing trip. It's really motivating to see someone on your level of skill and perfectionism to push even further.
Hey thanks my friend. Just find one thing you want or need to improve on and study it then attack it and get it done no matter what it may cost you. Especially if it’s for someone else. You Keep Forging On tsotsijan 👍🏻🔥☕️⚔️
Dad
This is one of the most beautiful pieces of art I have ever seen! I am lost for words. You know just incredible this turned out, I can only imagine how this must look and feel in person.
Who ever is doing the videoography and editing for these videos, well done! This video is a masterpiece to watch. The part where the pommel in the lathe was ingenious. Incredidle. Good job everyone involved and thank you for sharing this journey with us!
I was recommended this by TH-cam and I watch the whole build from start to finish and man.... That's one beautiful work of art made out of forged Damascus steel, acid etched, gold inlays and stained in coffee. The detail is just, well I'm at an awww, just speechless. You definitely earned a subscriber.
Hey thanks Gem. Glad you’re enjoying the vids my friend. Be safe and be careful

Beautiful workmanship and style. The lack of compromise was also very impressive. 10/10

This is so beautiful. It's like an expensive luxury car compared to other custom swords.
Again. you are the best EVER! seriosuly that was a GREAT work by you Kyle. you have no idea how long i kept waiting for this project to be finished because i know it would be the best. honestly you are the master of the masters. please keep your great work and we need more swards because DUDE DUUUUUDE you are killen it!!
I've seen many swords in youtube, never saw one as beautiful as this one. Congrats.

Saw you make a similar sword on another channel and was blown away. You really are a master.

So amazing to watch a talented artist like yourself.
Glad you’re enjoying the vids my friend

wow, the level of detail and attention to detail is second to none.
Thanks Dan
Damn it, Kyle. Do you know how much patience it takes waiting for an episode? It hurts to wait.
Well done, though, sir. If top hats were still common place I’d raise one to you.
I was getting concerned there wouldn’t be a coffee break.
"There are micro scratches!" how you tell you're working with a true artisan vs someone making cool things online
I hate him for making such beautiful knives that most of us could never afford - not meant to be bad or evil, but rather as praise. Keep up the good work man :)
Hey thanks Andreas

A sword fit for a king, truly spectacular.
I'm thinking an ornate rapier would suit Kyle's aesthetic, perfectly.
Good call. Merry Christmas my friend 👍🏻☕️🔥⚔️

@@KyleRoyerKnives thank you Kyle😊. You too🎊🎉
That would be amazing!
First of all amazing work. I would imagine that sword has to be worth A LOT of money.
That mosaic pattern is amazing. Good job.
So many handcrafted details!!....This is art👍
I love this masterpiece, like a huge peice of jewelry
