Hey, when you're on the surface plate you can use a dial test indicator by gently sliding the zero's needle along the blade, it will show clearly if there is any warp, a Stand can be had on fb second has for like 20 bucks and a new dial test indicator from mitutoyo is about 40 bucks. Will guarantee you parallel, flat and consistent.
You know Kyle Royer if you want an idea for a funny one off gag to do randomly is some of your videos I had the idea of when you do the long time lapse segments edit someone in the background of the video doing something at normal speed so it looks like you are working at super speed.
The proof of a genuine proffesional craftsman is to pass on their knowledge and skills to others. They know that their knowledge and artistic skills is inpossible to copy. But it is an inspiration and push those who want to make a incredible knife.
You got me watching the entire video because of your craftsmanship, but you got me subbing with your hand sanding camera angle underneath the bench without breaking eye contact 😂😂😂
You must have gained that master smith status now I can’t see anyone being much better than you, your stuff is amazing I can only dream of owning something this beautiful
Kyle, it's less than two weeks since I discovered your amazing channel. It inspired me to up my own knifemaking within the limits of the tools I have. I even had a go at making a copper inlay onto a brass piece for my practice project (inspired by you). All I had was a small dremel, a homemade iron tool for hammering on, and copper sheath which I had to cut into wires. It actually turned out better than expected although the edges were not quite as crisp as on your inlays, but I got no visible gaps or anything. I also am (at this very moment I am writing this) in my shop doing the finishing touches after applying laqur. I do not forge my own blades yet, because I want to master making the rest first to a satisfying level. I often just buy big kitchen knifes at thrift stores and cut the blade into whatever shape I want, but without overheating or compromising the quality of the steel, but this is mostly for my smaller knifes like mushroom knifes and such. For bigger projects I buy blades from different blacksmiths around here in Scandinavia. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know you have pushed another sucker down the rabbit-hole to perfection. Thanks, Kyle! Big respect to your skills both as a designer, craftsman and blacksmith, and all those pretty tools you have to play with. I like my ambitions to be near unreachable, and to me that's your stuff. It's nice to know I have a long way of improving myself and upgrading my tools to get anywhere near your level. Keep it up mate, and so to your Dad & co. 🫡✊️
There's something so wholesome to watch your videos. In focus is, of course, mastery in progress. Converting materials to art. But it's so much more, from the little funny faces while grinding (it's easy to goof around on video I've noticed but you do it in a way that clearly stems from a frustration or something one can identify with. It's subtle) to the marbleous (sorry!) side stories. Not to mention context and reflection - like the story of the table or how you come to be a knife maker. And I do think the feeling of you guys being in this together as a family is quite important to the mix too. Looking forward to see the finished knife here, as usual! Keep up the good work guys! Love from Sweden, Europe
Dude I'm sure you've heard this too many times, but you are an absolute artist! I've been watching for a few years and you've always been so generous with your knowledge thank you. I love to make knives but I also love to watch you do it😅
The time and effort that went into this knife are impressive. The dubbing during the etch made me think of Godzilla movies. The pattern itself is mesmerizing- can't wait to see the final product.
This unique man demonstrates the value ($), planning, skill, inovation, artistic illumination, control of all facets of "knife making" as well as a teacher. Notice he does not always have the latest equipment, however that is not the source of his success, he understands the medium. I never tire of watching his vids. I am so embarrased with my poor attempts at making pointy, sharp things..suitable for gardening..maybe.
Hahaha... love the filing while staring and coffee sipping. Your work is timeless. Remarkable. Fasinating to watch. Awesome videos. Even more amazing art. You are a Master!
So I'm just sitting here with my mouth agape😮 You are an amazing artist when it involves the FORGE. Wow Your Bowie knife is one the most beautiful patterns I've ever seen on a knife. Nothing but Respect for you.
My God!! You guys have done it again! She is beautiful! Can’t wait to see the blue stone handle dance again the gun glued fittings! O Lord! You are an artist Kyle!
Your work Def speaks for itself on the results!!! Your work is second To NONE!!! You have the cleanest welds and patterns ever forged in steel!!! One of my life dreams is to have one of your knives!!! I Love them All so much!!! I have tons of Damascus, but I have nothing even close to the quality of your work. Your worst (to you) piece is what knife makers dream of making it to!!! And you're so far beyond your worst piece it's unbelievable!!!
My goodness you're the best I've ever seen. I have been working with wood for many years and I love grain patterns. Inlays can be beautiful but I can't believe my eyes you make metal beautiful. Wow I'm shocked. Good for you and your family!
Like seriously how is this possible, God has blessed you with a gift thank you for sharing to the world we need to see your craftsmanship its out the gate 💪🏽💯
That looks absolutely awesome!!! I want to learn that pattern! Good job Kyle, your Damascus patters are unequivocally the best out there. Thanks for the video.
What an incredible blade. Thank you for sharing your processes with us. I always learn new things watching your videos. I started making knives in March of this year and every new knife is greatly improved over the last. My humble forge is a work in progress as I continue to tool up as resources allow. Power tools like power hammer, shop press and specialty ovens will come one day.
Wow, even mastersmiths' blades warp during HT! I've had two 1/4" thick blades do this recently even though they were spine-down in my Evenheat and the bevels were even, and beat myself up because I couldn't figure out what I'd done wrong. Beautiful mosaic!
I'm glad no one was hurt, but for future reference, PVC is not recommended for compressed air systems. It typically can't handle the pressures and fragments when it blows.
OMG! Man that's awesome! I have to be honest, I've been working on other projects lately and haven't even watched the knife maker plus lessons but I'm subbed 👌. I still remember that first class! I learned so much. Thanks again for all of the great content and your art.
i wouldn't have thought the gold would survive the heat treat...Can't wait to see this beaut...it looks like the most expensive tie i have in my closet right now haha, gorgeous
yay! new project from Kyle! for a future project, I would LOVE to see you make a mosaic Damascus rapier. if you already made one, could you send me a link for the playlist? also, I only recently became aware that Will Willis, the host of Forged In Fire is no longer the host, someone else is. But I saw him in an interview about why he left the show, and as he listed his reasons, I could see why. will miss Will.
Another fascinating project to watch you make. It's coming together nicely. The pattern is stunning. Hope your blood pressure has normalised after the explosion! Hope you were all OK and no injuries
Wow that is the most beautiful Bowie I have ever seen and the Legend whom the knife is named for would be Proud to know you gave it your all to make this masterpiece. Absolutely phenomenal craftsmanship. Keep up the great work dude! From Dave R. in Alaska! ❤

You know It's a good month when Kyle uploads. Can't wait for this new project!

That hard stare while sanding is the funniest, nonchalant thing I’ve seen ever btw
Kyle’s videos are always, always worth the wait.
바다건너 나라에서 살고 있지만 정말 놀라운 집중력과기술을 가지고 계시네요 칭찬합니다 😊😊😊
You got me watching the entire video because of your craftsmanship, but you got me subbing with your hand sanding camera angle underneath the bench without breaking eye contact 😂😂😂
Never seen such workmanship before I started seeing your videos here, it is beautiful.
Your love and skill for forging and creating beautiful knives makes me want to strive and reach even higher in my field.
You must have gained that master smith status now I can’t see anyone being much better than you, your stuff is amazing I can only dream of owning something this beautiful
I laughed out loud for the sanding and the coffee sip was a gut laugh. TY, Mr. Royer!
😂😂😂😂
10/10 voiceover skills! 20/10 knifemaking skills! Always fun watching the precision of your process, Kyle! Thanks for sharing it with us!
No doubt you make some of the most beautiful knives ever.
Nobody comes close on your Damascus patterns. Amazing.

Thanks Boys. What an amazing process. I'm glad nobody was injured in your shop mishap. Anxious for part 2.
Glad no one got hurt in the explosion. You are inspiring and your attitude to life and your craft is truly humbling. Thank you for sharing 👍
Man, super excited to see another stone handle, your last one was beautiful!

Giovanotto excellent! 👌👍
It's very, very rare I say... Yes I'd trust this man from USA to create a perfect blade... But Mr K. Royer, yes 100% I'd trust his skills. Amazing
And 💥BOOM💥 goes the dynamite...aka PVC pipe!! The bowie is looking beautiful... can't wait to see the finished product!!
Hahaha... love the filing while staring and coffee sipping. Your work is timeless. Remarkable. Fasinating to watch. Awesome videos. Even more amazing art. You are a Master!
So I'm just sitting here with my mouth agape😮
You are an amazing artist when it involves the FORGE. Wow Your Bowie knife is one the most beautiful patterns I've ever seen on a knife. Nothing but Respect for you.
My God!! You guys have done it again! She is beautiful! Can’t wait to see the blue stone handle dance again the gun glued fittings! O Lord! You are an artist Kyle!
Thank you Kyle for the PDF. I'm glad nobody got hurt.
Your work Def speaks for itself on the results!!! Your work is second To NONE!!! You have the cleanest welds and patterns ever forged in steel!!! One of my life dreams is to have one of your knives!!! I Love them All so much!!! I have tons of Damascus, but I have nothing even close to the quality of your work. Your worst (to you) piece is what knife makers dream of making it to!!! And you're so far beyond your worst piece it's unbelievable!!!
Wonderful job! May God bless you so much for this gift! I'm of Brazil!
You're my favorite blacksmith Kyle.
My personal preference on a big bowie includes a nice finger choil to "choke up" on the blade.
My goodness you're the best I've ever seen. I have been working with wood for many years and I love grain patterns. Inlays can be beautiful but I can't believe my eyes you make metal beautiful. Wow I'm shocked. Good for you and your family!
Beautiful pattern... actually the best Damascus pattern I have ever seen.
Like seriously how is this possible, God has blessed you with a gift thank you for sharing to the world we need to see your craftsmanship its out the gate 💪🏽💯
This is Mastery of Craft. As an Autistic person, I can appreciate the level of dedication and detail you work to.
I look forward to when you complete the knife and it is good to hear no one was hurt when the pipe blue.
Love your and your dad's work man......keep doing what you do
Hey thanks my friend.
Dad
As a homeschooler and knifemaker myself, Kyle gives me loads of inspiration...will def be taking your courses when i get some side money
Looking at. ROYER'S blades make me feel completely inept!
Wow such artwork. I see this no where else.
Seeing a new Kyle Royer vid in my feed always puts a smile on my face :)
That looks absolutely awesome!!! I want to learn that pattern! Good job Kyle, your Damascus patters are unequivocally the best out there. Thanks for the video.
So Excited for this build, and more excited for the stone handle, the other one was amazing, but purple isn’t my favorite, but blue is!!!!🎉
Stunning piece of work!
You should be very proud Kyle! Your work is awesome!
WOW, amazing results. definitely a piece of Art
Nothing like sanding, sanding and more sanding.. stunning finish👍
Glad nobody got hurt in that explosion. Beautiful knife. Loved watching the process.
Love your work and your sense of humor, man. 😊
The craftsmanship is top notch 👌🏿 🔥🔥🔥
You are on a different level than anyone else.
I hope to own one of your knives in my lifetime.
Your work is just simply amazing.
….. Tom
Please don't use pvc pipe and fittings for compressed air. As you found out it can very dangerous. Thank goodness you weren't injured.
You can, it just has to be pressure pipe not cell core. Where I live pressure pvc has red letters and is rated for 280psi
thanks for sharing Kyle, hugely inspirational
Beautiful blade! Thanks for sharing your process. It makes me reflect on my practices and setup, especially at the press.
Woah, that's just straight up gorgeous 😮
man, you are totally insane, thank god! love your work to bits
freaking amazing work Kyle.
This is one of your best videos by far! The commentary is great and the finished product looks amazing keep it up man❤️
Love the new background!
Just wonderful you are a real talent
Please upload more, your work is inspiring
Sir, you are the rembrant of blades!
I love this build so far!!! That pattern is amazing!!!
What an incredible blade. Thank you for sharing your processes with us. I always learn new things watching your videos. I started making knives in March of this year and every new knife is greatly improved over the last. My humble forge is a work in progress as I continue to tool up as resources allow.

Always an extreme pleasure to watch one of your videos.
Stunning.
Wow, stunning blade! Very, very nice Kyle! ❤
Of course, while typing this, you said it was warped and twisted, when I heard that my heart dropped.
Another masterpiece in the making, love your work dude 🤙
A new forge! That sounds like a job for Dad, I am surprised he wasn't making one 2 seconds after you said it
So waiting to see the rest of this build. Your knives are so amazing to see.
Beautiful looking pattern in that blade, top job 👍 Regards from Down Under .
I love that Billy Corgan took up knife making ❤
the voice over dub was spot on, couldn't even tell you weren't live on the audio.
It was good, a work of art, congratulations on the result obtained. Silvio from Brazil 🇧🇷.
This one is hilarious. I'm glad everyone is okay after the explosion. Thank you for sharing your work with us.
Wow, even mastersmiths' blades warp during HT! I've had two 1/4" thick blades do this recently even though they were spine-down in my Evenheat and the bevels were even, and beat myself up because I couldn't figure out what I'd done wrong. Beautiful mosaic!
I'm glad no one was hurt, but for future reference, PVC is not recommended for compressed air systems. It typically can't handle the pressures and fragments when it blows.
You are an absolute artist with making blades the pattern is very beautiful great work
Insanely beautiful. I want to buy one!
Wicked beauty.
Man that thing is beautiful man.
Love watching him make mosaic damascus! 🍻
Fantastic work as always. I'd have to describe your style as meticulous, which is a good thing.
OMG! Man that's awesome! I have to be honest, I've been working on other projects lately and haven't even watched the knife maker plus lessons but I'm subbed 👌. I still remember that first class! I learned so much. Thanks again for all of the great content and your art.
i wouldn't have thought the gold would survive the heat treat...Can't wait to see this beaut...it looks like the most expensive tie i have in my closet right now haha, gorgeous
Love the videos in this format. Can't wait to see the rest of them and the finished knife!
Beautiful! 👌✨
