I Try To Build A Knife In One Day

Anybody else find all his videos incredibly calming, informative, entertaining with a splash of antics thrown in or just me? haha

[Lynkah]

I just want to say, Kyle, that demonstration on exactly the effects of too hard vs tempered, was so immeasurably useful. I've always wanted to see an easily digestible demonstration of the difference it makes and this truly was that. It's impressive that just a little softness, makes it so much more real world usable.

[adamspivey]

Even his "two day build" looks better than most people's "masterpiece" 😊😊

[danielgoen]

It's a pleasure watching a person who REALLY knows what he's doing making knives. Do you ever sell knives like this? I realize you make super high end stuff, but as a disabled, OLD, Meat cutter, I will never own one of those knives. I held a knife in my hand for 8 hours a day, for 42 years, so I truly appreciate such quality. Thanks for making these videos. Passes my over abundance of time. Have a great day!

the nod of approval essential foe the success of any project.

I would love to see you make a tanto with your style and flare!

[jimcorbett]

I love the 'crunch time' background music. It's too bad about missing the deadline, but I think sacrificing the deadline in favor of quality is the right call. The handle looks great, so does the blade(I love the shimmer on the maple)- great job!

[fredd]

Your work is always out of this world. I get so excited whenever I see a new video of yours posted!

[frankieforza]

Its hard for you to do things a day because your work is super quality, paying attention to detail and going above and beyond in every little aspect takes time. Your work is super high quality and more like artwork. I have mad respect for your work, you truly are an

[danthemakerman]

It looks sooo good! All the little details take it to the next level!

[brushybillroberts]

Beautiful piece of steel, with scales worthy of the blade. Looks like a green curly maple. Very well done, congratulations.

[armadilloforge]

Simple yet elegant. Beautiful handle material as well.

[fxkwdty]

I literally watch knife makers videos daily have seen thousands taking notes and you by far are my favorite your work is amazing

[capetownoke]

I only recently started Blade smithing and I love it. Have only done a few knives but I have been satisfied with them in general. THEN! I see what Kyle does in basically two days, how clean and perfect it is. And you realize there are massive levels to this game and im just scratching the surface!!!!

[beezo]

That hits all the buttons with me. Clipped drop point, satiny finish and the scales... the color is really deep. 5 stars.
Go Team Royer!

[fuddrucker]

Beautiful work. Thank you, for bringing us along

[christobaliancantu]

That was an awesome build! Thank you for the video! I really like the tapered handle! Can't wait for the next one! Y'all be safe and have a blessed day 🙂

[jayceecombs]

Luv'it Kyle! Especially the tiger grain and color in the scales! Thank You, J

[chasethe_dram]

Whaaaat!! Even a one day knife build from you is crazy beautiful. You're just insane man. Wish I could afford to take your course and have the tools to attempt a build like that for real. You're just on another level with it.

[peterhawkins]

A real fusion of art and 100% utility has a fascination. BRILLIANT.
