As you may know, the video and audio production has gotten better, that is because of all the people buying our courses. we were able to upgrade some of our equipment and it makes me really happy to try and make each video a little better than the last!!! Thank you for your support! Also, shameless plug. If you want to level up your knifemaking, get one of these courses.

I can't wait until a big knife company makes a CNC damascus making machine so that I can find knives like that in wal-mart... but if they do China might invade us instead of Taiwan.... lol
After the recent huge builds, it is great watching this "simple knife" build. like watching a master martial artist execute a basic front kick. The practice and skill is all there filling the simplicity of the task almost to bursting. Great Job!
I love how the title indicates the knife as a simple knife lol...ofc kyle has done more complex builds but this is just stunning...good job on the editing Josh it's always amazing
Some call this a simple knife, others will call it "OMG that's gorgeous!!" But knowing how complex most of your other works of art are, you could call this a simple knife... for you ;) Thnx for sharing your art Kyle (and family!)
I'm in awe... that is one of the most beautiful pieces I have ever seen. Extremely nice! This is the first video of yours I have watched, but it definitely will not be the last!
I would be so honored to own one of this man’s knives!! He is absolutely amazing to watch and I find my self falling asleep to his playlist every night! You have a very special gift sir!!!!
It is made to be used. My stepdad made beautiful chopping blocks for several family members one Christmas, and I was the only one that used it. To this day(about 8 years later) I use this chopping block everyday. It is art, but it's also functional. An unused tool is a useless tool. Just my opinion, however, I do understand your point. Using a beautiful tool sometimes feels like destroying art, however, the use adds character to the art.
@@RdeneckTechI also think the way you do. I can understand his thought process and logic and it is completely fine but it's kinda like having an absolutely beautiful car and never driving it. I'm not saying to drive the car into the ground or use the knife until it brakes,I'm just saying why not appreciate it in every way possible,even if only on special occasions. I have some very beautiful, rare, expensive and one of a kind possessions and I feel like if I let them sit in the same place and just simply collect dust forever, it is doing said objects a disservice and letting it's full potential just go to waste. With that being said,I'm a true believer of the saying "to each their own" so by no means am I judging you friend. Good day and happy new year to all who read this.
From watching you I just picked up on the double pedals for the press 😳 and that's an Awesome idea ‼️ I'm definitely going to add that to the press I'm building , that way both hands are free and seems to make the whole process smoother. Thank You so much for sharing your videos 🖤🔥🖤
Hey Josh, amazing work with video and editing! If you’re open to suggestions I think it’s cool to be teased about the final look right until the end! But great video and great editing, and of course: great forging!
Exceptional workmanship! I’ve been an engineer most of my life but the dedication and attention to detail here is a whole other level. I’d love to shadow someone with skills like this, a true Jedi master.
Beautiful knife. I saw the thumbnail and had to watch. I love everything, about this knife. Especially the tang taper. Handles even look comfortable. Extarordinary pattern on the blade. You are a true craftsman. Thanks for sharing this,
Man Kyle you really do epitomize the title of master. One day I hope to afford one of your hunter knives so I gift it to my dad. There's nothing more inspirational than watching a true master of their craft.
Beautiful as always! I'm an impatient person so I really love to see these full build videos so you can see the process and the final result all in one.
Absolute delight listening and viewing this build; video this morning! I was happy to subscribe and learn that there's a master knife smith making videos for TH-cam.
Absolutely....stunning! The talk-over editing was on point. You have set the bar SO high for yourself, with this feather damascus. I wouldn't be surprised to see you directing films in a few years, to be honest. This video is so well put together!
You truly are a master craftsman. Ever since I've seen your master smith Damascus sword, I've been interested in your work. Hats off to you. Absolutely beautiful knife.
I'm a traditional artist and sculptor going through the yips and looking for inspiration. So I saw one of your thumbnails about 3 hrs ago and I've been binging your builds. Your blades are insanely cool bro and you got the best camera work out there .....and that includes that B.S. tv show
Seriously. You built my dream knife. . Father damascus is my all time favorite. Then you put my all time favorite handle material ,mammoth ivory on it. If I were to ever commission a knife. It would be exactly what you just built. I love the build. I see that knife in my dreams.
I have watched some of your knife-making videos and am very impressed with your Damascus knives. Your named knife “Luminous” was incredible, but when I saw this feather Damascus I could barely believe my eyes. My new favorite pattern. Thank you for sharing.
Everything you do in the video looks like it's all done sooo easy. Maybe this is due a really master is done it well. Well, really well done knife ! Thanks for your tips and tricks.
it goes without saying that you are by far the most talented blade Smith on TH-cam but I wanted to give a shout out to whoever film and edits your videos as well.. it definitely helps bring out your talent to the fullest.. good job
I think what is most extraordinary is Kyle makes classic knives but in his unique way. You have established your own style… this is to the point that he taught his dad how to make knives and I can Kyle all over even his dad’s knives. You can see them and instantly know it’s a Royer…. Amazing… and yes I’m obsessed with knives so look at rather a lot
There are 2 forging channels I primarily watch .. Kyle Royer (Probably the best modern day knife and sword making channel on YT) and That Works (they use old world methods sometimes in their creations)... with a once in a while watching of a couple others, such as Freerk Wierringa and Tyrell because of their skills .. I love the attention to detail all of these channels have...Thanks Kyle for sharing your talent and skills with us....

I can tell. your voice sound pro level. Very good videography. Good job on both the knife and the video.
Don't worry about the shameless plug fellas, we're pleased with what Team Royer has built up... and I'm not just talking about the blades! Cheers!
Hey kyle, have you ever thought of making a folding knife? seems like something that would challenge you in a good way.
Can you make a katana? Please :)
yes this knife is beautiful... you should make more and sell it.. I really would like to buy this knife.. really awesome.
That feather pattern is one of the most pleasant, aesthetic pieces of Damascus I have seen yet
I can't wait until a big knife company makes a CNC damascus making machine so that I can find knives like that in wal-mart... but if they do China might invade us instead of Taiwan.... lol
I must admit I am a forging addict, and no one has the attention to details that you have. Your knives are always flawless.
That’s why there extremely expensive. They’re flawless. Takes a ton of time and skill to achieve
By far the best Feather pattern Damascus I have ever seen. That thing is amazing
After the recent huge builds, it is great watching this "simple knife" build. like watching a master martial artist execute a basic front kick. The practice and skill is all there filling the simplicity of the task almost to bursting. Great Job!
Looks great! Beautiful outcome.
Without doubt, the best looking Feather Damacus I've ever seen! Awesome stuff!
I love how the title indicates the knife as a simple knife lol...ofc kyle has done more complex builds but this is just stunning...good job on the editing Josh it's always amazing
"Simple" must mean a very different thing in this case.
I thought that as well... There's obviously levels to this, and his is off the charts!
Some call this a simple knife, others will call it "OMG that's gorgeous!!"
But knowing how complex most of your other works of art are, you could call this a simple knife... for you ;)
Thnx for sharing your art Kyle (and family!)
I'm a forging video junkie, and this is one of the finest blades I've ever seen made, i absolutely love it
That’s the most beautiful feather pattern I have ever seen. Good job 👏
The variety of your patterns is amazing! And the sheer artistry and craftsmanship e.g. gold/platinum inlay and engraving is unbelievable.
I'm in awe... that is one of the most beautiful pieces I have ever seen. Extremely nice! This is the first video of yours I have watched, but it definitely will not be the last!
This is possibly the most beautiful knife I've ever seen.
One of the most amazing, if not the most amazing knife I have ever seen. The feather design in the blade and all the attention to detail is amazing.
I love the curve and sweep of the whole knife. Everything looks fantastic- the rainbow sheen on the blade is pretty cool. Nice job!
Nice to finally see another knife done by you. The pattern is beautiful as well as the handle.
Royer is a master. Brilliant.
Your talent with creating beautiful damascus patterns is amazing! Beautiful work as always brother!
The best Damascus build I’ve ever seen. Very nice video quality and also very professional walkthrough about what you did and how you did it!!!
the small details and the overall look and quality of your work is stunning. you make it look easy, yet there are few people who can do what you do.
I would be so honored to own one of this man’s knives!! He is absolutely amazing to watch and I find my self falling asleep to his playlist every night! You have a very special gift sir!!!!
I am sorry if this upsets you, you made a work of art, I would not be able to use this knife as a functional tool for fear of marring the surface.
It is made to be used. My stepdad made beautiful chopping blocks for several family members one Christmas, and I was the only one that used it. To this day(about 8 years later) I use this chopping block everyday. It is art, but it's also functional. An unused tool is a useless tool. Just my opinion, however, I do understand your point.

YOU MONSTER!
It isn't fair to my eyes how beautiful your creations are.
From watching you I just picked up on the double pedals for the press 😳 and that's an Awesome idea ‼️ I'm definitely going to add that to the press I'm building , that way both hands are free and seems to make the whole process smoother. Thank You so much for sharing your videos 🖤🔥🖤
Another masterpiece. But what struck me this morning was your excellent videography, editing and voice over. Good job
You're doing a really good job on the edits Josh. The overall production is rising, and rising.
Most beautiful Damascus pattern I've ever seen...so good!
Hey Josh, amazing work with video and editing! If you’re open to suggestions I think it’s cool to be teased about the final look right until the end! But great video and great editing, and of course: great forging!
I'm particularly impressed you point out mistakes and show us how you handle them.
A wonderful video of how a real craftsman makes a beautiful looking knife.
My goodness! This has to be the most amazing looking knife I have ever seen! The attention to detail is second to none! Truly beautiful!
You are a world class craftsman my friend. I have never seen a more beautiful knife ever. You truely have a gift for making knives. Bravo!!!
Grazie my friend
Dad
Exceptional workmanship! I’ve been an engineer most of my life but the dedication and attention to detail here is a whole other level. I’d love to shadow someone with skills like this, a true Jedi master.
Hey thanks Lee
May the Forge be with you my friend
Dad
WOW, just WOW

Beautiful knife. I saw the thumbnail and had to watch.

Thank you
Stunning to behold.
That our lives would comport with the quality of our tools.
I’ve NEVER seen damascene steel like that !! More videos, PLEASE !
So awesome and I do love that it's a full Tang as opposed to most other bladesmiths that will make a small tang.
Beautiful as always! I'm an impatient person so I really love to see these full build videos so you can see the process and the final result all in one.
Hey thanks Dennis
Dad
Without a doubt the most beautiful knife I have ever seen. Absolutely gorgeous.

Excellent work, a combination of aesthetic perception of beauty and craftsmanship.

That is definitely a great feather pattern. You certainly show why you are a master.
