It helps that he’s pretty smart and gifted in the shop already. A monkey can’t make a knife like his even with the best teacher in the world. There’s a natural gift or talent needed.
Actually. The most important part of any journey, is to learn how to be a good student. You can learn things from even poor teachers if you know that. Because every experience is an opportunity to figure out how to deal with that sort of thing. A petty tyrant can teach you a hell of a lot. About how that sort of corruption acts, and what an alternative might look like. Because difficult situations WILL come. The objective isn’t to be free from it. It is to be prepared for it. To discern what is true about anything, and what is good in anything. And to pursue that, while avoiding the various lies and evil you will see in contrast. The depths of the sea laid out in front of and below you, the charts and stars to set the destination.
Well, i can attest to that having no father growing up. Having no teacher, guardian, guide makes one lost for the rest of his/her life, especially, when all this happens in a third world country which is calamity multiplied
It's always a pleasure to watch mastered craftmanship like this. You're all so skilled and i enjoy so much admiring you works. Thanks for sharing theses
I posted this in another of Mr, Roye'r's videos. I think it warrants posting it again. In his song "A Month of Sundays" Don Henley wrote, "Folks these days just don't do nothin, simply for the love of it." In his song "Sunset Grill" he wrote, "These days a man makes you somethin and you never see his face." I would say that Mr. Royer is an example of the exact opposite of these two lyrics. Thank you sir.
I’d imagine these knives have to be pretty expensive. The time, effort, materials, craftsmanship, and precision to make a one of a kind piece of art that’s useable. Overly Impressive! Your patience is crazy! 👏
Great video. Thank you for sharing. I am making my first hidden tang and it has been a struggle to figure this out with the pin placement. Your brass insert idea is what I will be using. Thanks again. Great looking knife.
Congrats Jeff great seeing the JS on your makers mark!🎉 As always great work and a lovely knife 👌🏻 Was hoping to see some of your power sanding technics again 😂😂😂
I can see why your knives are so expensive you put a lot of your time and your money and you’re very meticulous. Your work is perfection. Thank you for your videos.
Much simpler design than some that Kyle has made, yet just as elegant; really nice look overall, clean lines, and the pattern just looks cool. I love the dark look. Nice build!
Ne güzel bir işçilik yaptınız. Buna sanat demek daha doğru olurdu. Keşke size komşu olabilseydim yada size asistanlık yapabilseydim, eminim ki yeni şeyler öğrenirdim. Benimkisi sadece bir hayal boşver gitsin:)) Bravo...
Beautiful knife! But as a German knifemaker I am using a different alloy of Steel(for the dark layers). I use O2 Steel instead of 1084. O2 etches darker than 1084 due to higher manganese contents and has a little better edge retention(due to higher levels of chromium and vanadium). One can make a 3 alloy billet(with 1084) to make the damascus even more interesting. Have you tried Something comparable?
Such an amazing process and attention to detail you guys have. A couple of questions; when making the billet I see you have different grades of steel. Does this change the rockwell hardness throughout the knife since different types of steel is used? I ask for machining purposes, speeds/feeds specifically. Also what is the shelf life of the ferric chloride?
Beautiful chef knife. When are you and Kyle going to do a collaboration piece? Maybe a bowie/fighter with your copper-brass for the guard & roll out some for Kyle to use for inlay in the handle?
it would be great to see youd dad or yourself do a kitchen knife build for knifemaker+ its great learning to do the fighters and hunters but i mainly make kitchen knives so that would be handy
Why not make the billet big enough to make the standard 7 knife set out of the same block of pattern welded steel? I would happily review the first set for free, if that is something that you might like. Love your content. Thank you for sharing!!!
In a video recently your boy talked about getting a bigger surface grinder. Would a CNC machine work for you guys? Have seen other knife makers use them in why I ask
That seems to be mesquite wood from the Sonoran Desert... in Arizona... I make a handle of that years ago... it is amazing, but you have to get the bits without damage... most available has termite damage. I burned in the final bit of the tang... That type of wood can easily handle it if you arent way too aggressive. Also Mesquite does have those tiny hole more often than not, discounting the termites.. maybe that why they love that wood?
It is an absolutely glorious knife. Beautiful! The only thing I am wondering about is the length of the handle. Should be great for a woman’s hand, but is it comfortable (in terms of its length) enough for a man’s hand?
I think that you did such an amazing job on this blade SIR. But why compare yourself to your son. Your both equally talented . Hope to see more from you. shaun
I just commented on your Excelsior video, but this is more recent. I know you somehow and I can't put my finger on how or where?!?! I grew up in Cape Girardeau, MO. As well as lived in St Louis, and Poplar Bluff. Were you ever in any of these towns?! I know I've met you in person before!
Hi there, I hope I'm not catching you off guard with this idea, but I've been thinking about something kind of unusual. I'm not entirely sure if it's even feasible, but would you consider creating a video where you craft a knife using copper and glass? It might sound a bit odd, but in my mind, it looks quite amazing with a glass line running through it. I understand if it's a bit confusing or impractical, perhaps it could just be for display purposes. If you have a moment to let me know your thoughts or even to make the video, I'd be really grateful. Sorry if I'm not explaining it very well, but imagine when you're assembling the materials, it's like a sequence of copper, then glass, then copper again, and finally steel. Do you get what I mean? I hope I'm making sense. Thanks for considering it!
Yer dad is proof that having a good teacher is the most important part of any journey.

dad is the student
Well, i can attest to that having no father growing up. Having no teacher, guardian, guide makes one lost for the rest of his/her life, especially, when all this happens in a third world country which is calamity multiplied
It helps to have access to a butt load of equipment 😅
I really like these voice over videos. It helps you learn a thing or two even if you are watching for fun.
Beautiful work Jeff…. I think I speak for most of us when I say, we’d like to see more of your work captured on video!!!
i never get bored of this channel. good job legendary dad.
So cool seeing both Kyle and Dad Royer on here! 🍻
"Son of the legendary dad", made me laugh. Every video from this channel is an instant watch
Mr ROYER awesome job. Good luck with your next project can’t wait to see it. God bless you and your family
So peaceful and a lot of wisdom in this video
Cool seeing your dad do a video.
Holy crap that's an elegant piece.
You guys really are making some special stuff in that magic workshop of yours.
It's always a pleasure to watch mastered craftmanship like this. You're all so skilled and i enjoy so much admiring you works. Thanks for sharing theses
Super awesome that a dad is learning from his son. That doesn't happen often.......
I'm so excited for when you create my knife. I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas!
master piece. not only the knife and the damascus pattern, also the video and the story telling. everything. A truly master piece!
Another great knife build Jeff. Your voice over work is nice to listen to.
Watching that mill scale fall is definitely cool.

Wow! that's nice, absolutely wonderful, beautiful shape, patern, handle, the finish, everything is amazing. Congrats and thanks for sharing.

That huge hot cut was a thing of perfection.
your craftsman ship is insane !!!
I love low layer damascas and this knife is a supurb example. Great work.
Wonderful job, loved watching the whole process, the finished product is beautiful, top job Dad👍. Regards from Down Under.
What an excellent knife maker and father you are Sir! 👏🏻 And proof it’s never too late to start. 🙏🏻👍🏼
Incredible amount of work. Beautiful result.
So inspiring! I can’t wait until I can try this. You and Kyle have some of the best craftsmanship. Clean!
Great video. Thank you for sharing. I am making my first hidden tang and it has been a struggle to figure this out with the pin placement. Your brass insert idea is what I will be using. Thanks again. Great looking knife.

The way he sounds, this dude is like the Matthew McConaughey of knife making lol. He is a very gifted weapons maker and artist.
I can see why your knives are so expensive you put a lot of your time and your money and you’re very meticulous. Your work is perfection. Thank you for your videos.
Wow!! Incredible craftsmanship ,well done.
Much simpler design than some that Kyle has made, yet just as elegant; really nice look overall, clean lines, and the pattern just looks cool. I love the dark look. Nice build!
That's called a piece of art.
GORGEOUS!! What an incredible piece, well done!
You can go ahead and admit that you taught Kyle everything he knows. It's ok to be honest about it 👍 awesome blade my man
Cool! We get a video from dad!
What a treat! Thank you.
Awrsome detail in your work Kyle 🙌👍
What beautiful craftsmanship.God bless you.
The whole thing was mesmerising, absolutely stunning work….👍👏👏🏴
That is gorgeous. Fascinating to watch it happen.
Ne güzel bir işçilik yaptınız. Buna sanat demek daha doğru olurdu. Keşke size komşu olabilseydim yada size asistanlık yapabilseydim, eminim ki yeni şeyler öğrenirdim. Benimkisi sadece bir hayal boşver gitsin:)) Bravo...
Beautiful knife, dad!
I’d love to see what a Kyle Royer spear would look like.
i love the feathered pattern a lot!! epic knife Dad!!
Love watching your vids, thanks for sharing your knowledge ❤.
Amazing work Dad Royer!!!
I was like "why does his voice sound weird"? Papa Royer! Love these videos!
100ºF outside? When was this filmed? That is such a beautiful knife. I love knife-making.
Absolutely beautiful piece of art ❤
Excellent with a lot of explains. Thanks!
Great episode, narration and journey was well planned and edited.
Beautiful knife! But as a German knifemaker I am using a different alloy of Steel(for the dark layers). I use O2 Steel instead of 1084.
O2 etches darker than 1084 due to higher manganese contents and has a little better edge retention(due to higher levels of chromium and vanadium).
One can make a 3 alloy billet(with 1084) to make the damascus even more interesting.
Have you tried Something comparable?
Nice work, came out beautiful.
Do you think the handle came off juuuust a tad too short?
In comparison to the blade length and width.
Great job, ✨
yer dad has got skillz, without all the sillyness.
Such an amazing process and attention to detail you guys have. A couple of questions; when making the billet I see you have different grades of steel. Does this change the rockwell hardness throughout the knife since different types of steel is used? I ask for machining purposes, speeds/feeds specifically.

Beautiful chef knife.
When are you and Kyle going to do a collaboration piece? Maybe a bowie/fighter with your copper-brass for the guard & roll out some for Kyle to use for inlay in the handle?
Incredibly beautiful!!
Really beautiful I wish I could afford something as beautiful as that. Even the handle is beautiful.
Great video! Did you build that anvil? More info on it would be appreciated.
Also, 99% sure that Desert Ironwood. My favorite Amazon special. Dead give away was "Hecho en México".
You guys do amazing work
question for Dad, what you did to the bronce bolster to look like
marbled? I love the knife! thx.
it would be great to see youd dad or yourself do a kitchen knife build for knifemaker+ its great learning to do the fighters and hunters but i mainly make kitchen knives so that would be handy
Beautifully done Buddy..
Beautiful...!
Question: Why not use a grinding stone instead of grinding blades...?
Beautiful knife dad.
Hola Amigo! a que temperatura templas el acero damasco 1070 y 15n20 ?
That's sweet looking, nice job. Thanks again
id love to see you guys make the "thunderbolt" damascus pattern for something ive seen it only once and its super cool
Beautiful example of your skills.
Jeepers that's gorgeous. Life goal is to own one of those!
Simply beautiful
Coffee is good anytime
Great job Sir Jeff!!!!!!!!❤😂
that is a very well made knife and nice looking too.
🏆Kyle Royer 🔪🥇 can You imagine Damascus two thousand years ago with these works of art in Damascus Steel? 07:40
Perfeito sou do Brasil. Aprecio muito seu trabalho maravilhoso
Do you also quench the Handle ?

I'm never a fan of maker's marks on blades but at least yours is somewhat subtle.
Those knifes are incredible and I would love to own one. Do you have a Shop to your knifes?
Good job pop👍👍
Band-Aids? Pfft.
This is a man's man, tape is all you need.
Beautiful knife!
Interesting stuff 🤔 pattern turn out nicely
you or Kyle should try to make a canister damasksas out of the metal dust from under the band saw. i think it would make a realy cool pattern.
Hot cutting looks amazing, great work ❤
Way to go Daddio!!!!
Awesome looking knife. Do you guys do any work shops, like for a day or a weekend? I think I live fairly close in Springfield Missouri…
Hey thanks neighbor. Just our online courses. Check out learknkifemaking.com.
Cheers
Dad
Hey dad! Love love love the grind on this chef knife! Great work. It for sale by chance? 😁
It is an absolutely glorious knife. Beautiful! The only thing I am wondering about is the length of the handle. Should be great for a woman’s hand, but is it comfortable (in terms of its length) enough for a man’s hand?
To paraphrase Mr. Crocodile Dundee, that’s a knife!
a cleaver or maybe a machete would be awesome with this pattern!!!
Dad is fire 🔥🔥
Great job Dad
