    Another amazing build by dad! We are so proud of him, dad recently past his journeyman Smith performance test, now he will be testing at BLADESHOW this June to find out if he is worthy of the JS stamp (he totally is imo.) -Josh

    Totally blown away at the attention to detail, skill and artistry involved in the making of the blade. Being such a beautiful and intricate creation, I was left wishing we had a bit more than the 60 seconds given to admire the finished piece, especially after the journey of the build. The final result was truly stunning!

    The mythical ability of a blacksmith isn't just the ability to create a piece of art. It is the ability to recreate this piece of art down to a tee. And yet... it stays mythical for it always being a one of a kind knife of which none other exists quite like this. Even if built the same way, the pattern is always a new sight to behold. Love it so much, you have no idea how much I'd love owning one of those just to have it on display.

    One of the coolest ideas for a knife i have evr seen in my 51 years i love how you have incorporated the ventalated barrel at the top of the blade down to the finish on the handle just like the stock on a beautiful shotgun . The piece is stunning and every aspect of that knife is pure perfection , i dont know how you parted with it as a piece of you must of left with it to the customer! i love this channel and enjoying every second of your videos, you guys are masters of your art but even that doesnt sound like praise enough your work commands . I am totally blown away by the work done by you both!

I originally wasn’t going to do it because of the extensive research and execution,then Kyle said are you going to put vented rids on the spine. And of course the answer to my master was yes Kyle. Kyle is very hard to keep up with. He stretches me frequently. Good times my friend

    For medical instruments made from Carpenter Custom 630, 17-4 Ph 900 we would flood our heat treat furnace with nitrogen. Tank of gas with a regulator and a piece of copper or SS tube into the chimney. The formal way to do this was a vacuum HT oven, but these things are expensive. We would get the parts out with no scale (brownish/blackish) and if there were sharpened edges, they remained sharp. Love your work, it is fantastic!

    What a beautiful knife, you can tell that the time it took you to make this, by looking at the attention to detail and quality of the finish and forging.
    The talent in this family... it's incredible and everyone who owns a Royer knife, holds a work of art in their possession.
    What i also love here is the reversed dynamic of a wonderful dad following in his son's footsteps, instead of son following dad's footsteps (nothing wrong with that tho!).
    And looking beyond that, it's pretty clear to me that this is a loving and tight family who are proud of each other and stand together as one.
    Congrats to your dad for passing his journeyman test, and i am certain he is well on his way to earn that MS badge too.
