    Mastersmith Kyle Royer is finishing the Damascus for the dagger called Serenity. The pattern will look amazing with beautiful layers, in fact, there are over 130k layers in the Damascus pattern!

    About The Serenity Dagger
    The blade will be 16 inches long with an aggressive taper, multiple fullers (blood grooves) on the ricasso, and one main fuller running down the blade. The blade will be made of a one-of-a-kind mosaic Damascus.
    The fittings will be gun-blued steel with gold inlays and a new technique I've been working on, Damascene.
    The handle is going to be extra special. Mom, Josh, and I just traveled 2,400 miles in search of beautiful stones and found a wonderful piece of purple/lavender Charoite. This will be my first knife to have a stone handle. I've wanted to add stone handles to my art knives for many years now and I'm so excited that the time has finally come to give it a shot!

      Your work is awesome, but would be very helpful to our mortal minds if you added some popups to the video with the units in metric, takes a lot of time converting them, specialy the temperatures, that doesn't convert right away from degrees °F to °C. Thanks!

    You have a passion for what you do, it is so relaxing to see a blade born from your hands. Quick question: can you also make butchwr knives? I noticed they tend to be a thinner blade that probably helps with sharpness?

    I absolutely love your designs, and seeing the process of achieving such masterwork quality blades. One thing worries me though. Seeing your videos I have often noticed your posture is often very hunched over, and over time could cause significant back and neck issues ending your career as a master bladesmith prematurely. Take care of your spine so you can be doing this still in another 20 years.

    You should see how turning the grinder 90 degrees affects warping, you may have to mirror the blank instead of just spinning to keep the direction of the grind the same.
