After 6 Months, This Knife Is Finally Done ✅

[@TheBlackZodiacGhost]

This wouldn't look out of place in a royal collection of treasures. Well done!

[@ravenmoon1165]

Exactly what I thought! This is a kings blade!

[@chosen1one930]

Not really, it would stick out

[@axelskull]

these are better than kings blades. modern tech is awesome

[@artor9175]

I disagree. It would stand out over and above most of what you find in a royal collection.

[@Zentron]

The blue would make it stand out, but in terms of fanciful design comparison, it's mid!

[@danielsechrist4410]

This belongs in a museum with people admiring it for 1000 years

[@JustinPoIson]

It looks like he's been making knives for 1000 years 🤔

[@An_Attempt]

Another piece that would not be out of place in an age of myth. I wonder how many of your works will end up in museums. Fantastic work.

[@ronbuckner8179]

No question, this is one of the most beautiful knives I’ve ever seen. Great job.

[@glendempsey364]

It would look right at home amidst the Crown Jewels ...

[@miaouew]

it really is.

[@NOMAD-qp3dd]

Totally, that lapis... it all looks so good. And the fact that damascus has that star pattern through it and the theme continued through out the handle, just perfect. What a beauty.

[@dto7321]

You can tell he is proud of this one. And holy smokes he 100% should be. That’s amazing.

[@Travincaal]

This is probably the nicest knife I have ever laid eyes upon. Your work speaks for itself and I could listen for eternity.

[@jerrykinworthy9225]

Seeing that finished knife almost invoked an emotional response, it was so beautiful.

[@headmmeat]

"Almost invoked an emotional response" felt that brother

[@Klaproossje]

I swear to God, I was on my bike riding home from work yesterday evening and I thought, 🤔 it's a long time ago Kyle posted a video. Aaaaand here you are! Can't wait to get home to watch it😊

[@joesguiltyguitar]

Maybe you shouldn't swear to God , yeah you probably shouldn't do that ...

[@mtkoslowski]

Maybe your boss is looking over your shoulder!😅

[@ramongoulart3329]

Uow pensei o mesmo e sempre vou no you tube e no insta verificar suas postagens

[@Klaproossje]

@@mtkoslowski when i'm on my bike to home? I don't think so

[@Klaproossje]

@@joesguiltyguitar it doesn't exist enyway, so I think I'm good

[@colinkobel2868]

Your father taught you well! You have taken knife making to an entire new level. That is a quality beyond anything else!

[@PineyRider]

Normally, I'd see a notification for a 50 minute video and I roll my eyes. But Kyle Royer or Blacktail Studios videos and I know my jaw will be on the floor in awe while I watch. To me, you're both PhD degree level craftsmen. Respect from Manchester, NJ, USA.

[@johnbest1227]

I subscribe to both😂

[@rdel714]

Great minds think alike!

[@turdferguson3585]

Yep, same same.

[@quickgaming2466]

So, anyone else enjoying 8h videogame analysis vids?

[@rcnyoplait]

I wonder if Cam and Kyle watch each others channels

[@SuperLuminalMan]

Skill. Dedication. Talent. Enthusiasm. Cinematography. Results. This is one of my favourite channels for all those reasons and more.

[@traviscoombes3578]

I'm sure you have heard it a million times, but your craftsmanship is next level. Very impressive.

[@elliottreiter8492]

Hey Kyle beautiful Bowie, the lapis is stunning. Hey I’m a knife maker from Canada and a lapidary artist. In my Experience working with many different Gemstones the soft backed diamond nova wheels work amazing for achieving a high gloss polish. The wheels can run up to 14,000 grit and then a light buff with cerium oxide on a leather pad works amazing. Oh the Damascus on that blade is fantastic 😮

[@Tadick994]

Wouldn't sell this for a million dollars, absolute master piece,belongs in a museum one day,if there was a award show for worlds most beautiful knife...this is the goat

[@testep02]

The talent from Kyle absolutely blows me away. I'm speechless with every knife that he builds. VERY nice work!! Absolutely amazing craftsmanship.

[@TheEaglesvisions]

Sir , pardon my impression, I think the reason of why your such a genus is because your family sticks together ❤️ as a team, oh I know it makes you look responsible for that fact but anyone paying attention can see you are prepared for it by some amazing parents and a remarkable Brother not counting everyone who's added to your journey. I also love the fact that you know and abide in gratitude and humility . Be exceptionally blessed young padowin! As always , live long and prosper 🙌 🙏 yours bbh

[@plectrumura]

As ever, I am absolutely flabbergasted and blown away by the attention to detail. The bright cuts are a small addition that make an ENORMOUS difference in the appearance of the final piece. These videos always inspire, but this is a whole new level, at least for me.

[@louisstout5890]

You have at talent that will be admired for thousands of years to come!!! Your attention to detail is unmatched on KZbin, possibily the world!!! You name will be known throughout history!!!

[@CromoSapien]

This is the most beautiful hand made item I have ever seen! You, WOW, you!!!!

[@hannesaltenfelder4302]

You are the best example that a real master does not need to be dead serious. Your work is probably the best craftsmanship I have ever seen. Like seriously❤❤❤

[@harry3life]

I have never watched a video of yours. It was truly breathtaking you caring so much about the most minute details. The end result speaks for itself. This is a blade worthy of a god. Insane. I'm not joking when I say that my eyes got a bit watery in the end.

[@kristoferhoch-uipath-tam]

Dude, this is a masterpiece. It belongs in a museum of smithing - it belongs in the center of its own room. Holy crap.

[@frankdemo8988]

One of the best pieces you've ever done. You will go down in history as one of our generations greatest bladesmiths with your amazing demascus patterns. Someone commented your pieces will be in museums one day and I absolutely agree. Please don't stop making knives and the patterns your mind comes up with

[@Bdennie84]

Work of art. I can’t get over how much craftsmanship goes into these knives and the perfection you expect out of yourself is uncanny. This is a museum piece for millennia

[@tomasedson2111]

When a person acquires a unique degree of knowledge and experience, he becomes a master at what he does. For me, one of the greatest cutlers I've ever seen, certainly one of the best in the world. Congratulations and all the best always.

[@donaldevans5752]

Wow that is the correct word , this is the best yet , it should be put somewhere where it can be seen by everyone , fantastic , your a genius .

[@Emberheart_]

Geez Kyle, that's beautiful. At this pace you'll be the royal armorer of some European royal family before long.

[@zurcareV]

This has been my dream profession since I was a young man. Watching your work and passion has been re-stimulating my desire to follow this dream. You do amazing work sir! I will keep watching and learning from your masterful craftsmanship. Consider me subbed for life!

[@Afeller]

To a fellow knife maker, that is one of the most amazing blades I’ve seen. I love the use of stone in handles. Jay fisher is another of my favorites when it comes to gemstone handles

[@razirdrago5420]

Added bonus for this piece. The inclusions on the lapis handle will react to uv light with little flecks of orange light. I can only imagine how beautiful that knife would look under a blacklight

[@Toasty27]

what a masterpiece! The level of craftsmanship, artistry and love and attention for detail is stunning! worthy of a king, i hope you get paid like one, because you truly deserve it for this work!

[@chrismalcomson7640]

Amazing work! As a cabinet maker I notice a destinct difference with the use of materials between European and US work. In Europe materials have not been so abundant so the finished product reflects the preciousness of the materials. In the US money seems to be no object so you see lavish use of materials... Where I would use expensive veneers on a cheaper material, in the US they'd use solid wood, sparing no expense. Incredible journey and what a great result..

[@jimcorbett3764]

The blade looks like a piece of jewelry, and the detail on the guard is stunning- when fantasy authors describe knives/swords THIS is the image they are trying to convey! This is higher level of excellence I'm not even going to talk about the sheath. Great build!!

[@tallanvor]

This is absolutely gorgeous. And what makes it even better, is that you shared the journey with us, so we don't just see an impressive masterpiece of art, but got a glimpse of what went into that.

[@kingscorpion7346]

you tell us how satisfying it is for you while making these blades. dude, it is so satisfying for me to see you doing such detailed and beautiful work!

[@katchaontheflipside]

When u do something u love, it shines through in your attitude and the result. People will always gravitate towards sincerity and your succes shows it all. Great job man!

[@buggy831]

I hardly comment on videos, probably because I'm too lazy to. This knife is absolutely perfect! Your narration is inspiring and your satisfaction of your perfect work is incredible. Well done on such a masterpiece 😊

[@MadsNordholm]

Kyle, you’re simultaneously your own biggest critic and greatest fan. It’s one of the things that makes your videos so enjoyable - apart from your absolutely incredible craftsmanship of course

[@DanielReichert-e3q]

this one has to take place in a museum ....

[@jackmeoffer9334]

this isn't just a knife. IT IS ART!!!!

[@daveslater9141]

This is by far one of the best and brilliantly informed educational KZbin channels I've ever happened upon, I can quite comfortably sit and watch you for hours on end, thank you ever so much for such a brilliant and well produced series sir.

[@markedis5902]

To get a perfect finish on minerals use a fluffy microfibre cloth with cerium oxide powder. Works better than diamond as even super fine diamond is more aggressive

[@ericwilliams538]

Take a shot of your favorite adult beverage every time Kyle says "Background"!!!😂😂😂😂😂 All jokes aside, this is definitely an amazing piece!!!! You inspire me to put this much attention to detail into my wood working projects!!

[@kyfho47]

And "chatoyance". Kyle is the first person I ever heard use that term. I rightly so. With the mastery of his work, I guess he should be able to lay claim to that word.

[@chrisangelone3349]

Jesus Kyle. You keep outdoing yourself. This is one of my favorite knives you’ve done and you’ve done a lot. As always well done. It’s stunning

[@robertbarnum7541]

Charoite. And now lapis lazuli? You are going right to the top of beauty. Of course. There are quite a few that could be on that list. The granites in the table top world are amazing: Juparana Bordeaux, the many black/quartz mixes, etc. And your starter blocks of charoite and lapis... wow.

[@yayrayday]

Gotdang.... that is far more than just an heirloom, that belongs in a vault to be admired for centuries because with that level of craftsmanship it will last until archaeologists are theorizing about us. So incredible, so stunning and my god so expensive too. Your materials suit your care and love for the craft my dude, exceptional work.

[@jasonbernard]

Reminds me of a travel knife Merlin may have used.

[@tonigon5767]

I have never seen such attention to detail and such beauty in a knife.

[@florisbuys8661]

Such a magnificent knife in such an ugly sheath. 😢

[@nabzy28]

A level of passion, expertise, knowledge, scrutiny, attention to detail, commitment and sheer brilliance rarely seen these days. Your work is exceptional and beautiful.

[@davelangford2439]

I follow quite a few blacksmiths on KZbin and this is by far the most beautiful bit of craftsmanship I've ever seen. Jaw droppingly stunning. That Damascus is phenomenal

[@kamikaze8645]

In general for polishing gemstones and semi gemstones, jewellers also often use Aluminum Oxide powder too. (just mix the powder with water untill it's a paste) Also very important to all watching and new at the process of stone cutting. a lot of mineral stones like lapis, or jade or anything like it, a lot of prescious stones belong to the Asbesthos family, so always wear protections around your face most of all, but also wear gloves to prevent cross contamination, and always cut with plentiful water to avoid heat buildup, but also to prevent the dust from flying all over the workplace because it is a nasty kind of dust :)

[@longlowdog]

As a chainsaw and big hammer guy I'm literally in awe of someone who can take raw materials and craft something as beautiful as this. I bow my head to you Sir. Kindest regards from Scotland.

[@KepperX3]

Every single finished product i have ever seen from you is always a one of a kind masterwork. You make some of the most beautiful blades the world has ever seen, surely. And the fact you do things like engraving by hand is just. Wow. You truly have a gift and the things you make are on a fantasy level of beauty.

[@SparkleDonkey]

That's the most amazing blade I've ever seen. 1000 years ago, myths, quests and wars would be fought around the possession of such a blade.

[@man-observing-world]

It’s one of the most beautiful man made objects I’ve seen in my entire life. If only I could stand in the same room and see it shimmer in the light. I’ve been 3” away from the Hope diamond, and now I need to see this in person before I die.

[@richardsalinetrojr1957]

This is literally the most beautiful Bowie knife I have ever set eyes on. I always say that I will use any knife I'm able to buy, and people I know think I'm nuts buying $1k+ Shirogorovs and Custom Knife Factory knives (a few names as an example) to actually use. I've told them many times that the money I spend on knives is nothing compared to what can be spent on 100% hand made customs such as this. None of them believe me when I tell them I can show them knives that cost $50K or more. I can say that if I was able to afford a knife of this caliber I would not be using it for anything. Hell, I'd probably be scared to even showcase it in my own home. Lol. Every knife I've watched you make pretty much leaves me in awe. Your work is truly amazing and I'm always looking forward to see your next piece.

[@UnityGoogle]

I gotta say, i dont have a clue about knife making but even then this man deserves insane respect.

[@XBullitt16X]

Kyle makes the most beautiful blades EVER period, I have never seen prettier, anywhere else.

[@bhambabean1192]

I rarely see stone-handled knives that I’m attracted to. But this was beyond gorgeous. This is the most beautiful blade I think I’ve ever seen.

[@markohalloran9455]

Being a knife maker myself... I can only like it to a musician of the day watching Mozart play. I look at what I have poured my soul into and then see this... Let's just say the day I saw this.. the grinder didn't go on ... How does someone get Soo good at every aspect?! In historical times you would be making swords for kings.. absolutely amazing

[@jeffdowns2146]

That has to be the most beautiful knife i have been able to watch being made. You have a marvelous talent. Congratulations on such an accomplishment. Thanks for sharing and i look forward to seeing your future projects.

[@kiomn]

Kyle has to be one of the most phenomenal knife/ sword craftsmen of this era! Absolutely beautiful work

[@stephenmcguire7342]

How do you put a price on such a priceless object? If your day was going bad watching an artist and craftsman like Kyle makes it better and if your day was going well this makes it great. There are no words to describe a master who is so humble about his work. Thanks again.

[@coder0xff]

Master craftsman spending six months with a masterpiece result, plus materials, I'm going to guess $100,000 original sale price, and then appreciation over time.

[@markfairbanks6601]

This is absolutely incredible, it blows my mind to imagine someone can create this with their own two hands. I don’t know how you do it. Absolutely stunning, amazing, incredible, beautiful. Words can’t do it justice.

[@gabrielleite6936]

Congratulations, you are a great artist. It's like being alive at the same time as Michelangelo, and it's like being able to watch him work. Hugs from Brazil.

[@printer1105]

Awesome work. Just blows me away everytime I see one of your knives all finished. Masterpieces for sure. Thank you for posting so we can all see this artform at its best.

[@richardthompson7600]

This is one of the greatest knives ever made, your skill and craftsmanship are amazing. Keep up the excellent work 👏

[@jamesdennett196]

You really are the last word in attention to detail. Even if the aesthetic of the piece isn't to my taste, I am never less than astonished by your work. Absolutely magnificent.

[@ravenmoon1165]

What a masterpiece! You're incredibly gifted! I enjoyed watching every moment in this video. I'd never sell it!! NEVER NEVER. NEVER!!!!!!

[@metatron7405]

A masterpiece! Thanks

[@WayOfHaQodesh]

What an absolutely stunning piece of craftsmanship and art. You're truly an artist. I'm sure you're parents must be so very proud.

[@dankaczor8965]

I’m starting to like stone handles now. I haven’t seen such a hilt construction so intricate since I’ve started looking at artisanal knives. Talk about being blown away by the craftsmanship.

[@tomfoolery1967]

I'll never know how you don't have more subs. I watch other blacksmiths and knife or bladesmiths but no one makes them look this beautiful.

[@7pines77]

Wow!!..That is the most awesome looking knife I’ve ever seen in my life. You really out done yourself this time Kyle. Thanks for sharing your amazing talent

[@ongon6813]

Everything Kyle creates is just a pure work of art.

[@BentusiProgenitors]

Stunning work again no surprises there. I have no idea of anyone else has ever done this but for my randomized patterns I will take coarse salt or cracked pepper and throw a pinch on the work peice or drawing from different angles and heights until insee somthing I like. Mark it and voila. Always turns out lovely.

[@nagamata]

This engraving work is some of the most beautiful work I’ve ever seen. This is an heirloom piece for sure.

[@TheGiduch]

OMG, it's such a masterpiece that in all fairness it should be immediately incapsulated in the best museum in the world (whichever that is :) ) to be admired by generations to come

[@tiller6750]

This is one of, if not THE, most beautiful knives I've ever seen. Great job, Kyle!

[@gregash4387]

Wow that blade is Incredibly beautiful, I am Amazed at the beauty of it !! Really good job!!

[@SharmClucas]

This is so stunning. I don't have the right words to describe how much I like it. Definitely a masterpiece. As I was watching I was thinking about if a blade like this was in a movie, it would have to be central to the plot somehow, imbued with magic and the prized possession of the king. I remember worrying in earlier episodes if the high amount of detail on each part would be too much together, but it's definitely not. Everything came together well and it feels balanced.

[@tdg911]

Every one of your creations truly is a masterpiece. You have an awesome gift and thank you for sharing them with us. Much love and gratitude.

[@radamus210]

Masterpiece? .... It's up there in your body of work for sure! It's stunning. The engraving was mesmerizing.

You are an incredible artist and bladesmith. This is one of the most beautiful knive's I've ever seen. I could see it in a king's hand. Excellent job!!!

[@combatOracle1]

The sheer concentration and focus that is required to make these objects is something that not everyone can muster. These are masterworks that should be treasured. 👍

[@shawnharford]

I would love to see a leather craftsman of the highest calibre make a sheath for this. No disrespect to the person who made this one but it deserves much more.

[@TylervHayes]

ANY person of importance in history, would be in awe of your work. I bet you would have a spot in all of their halls of fame.

[@Allan-mf1he]

Next level. Want to see you out do yourself time after time. There is so much stone to play with, some of natures greatest beauty is captured up in stone. Hope you find more crazy good stone pieces. I can understand that adding abstracts to the pieces does not come easy. That piece is a good balance of concrete and creative abstract. What a creation.

[@michaelfairwinds2218]

You make such beautiful art! Functional art is probably the best description of what I mean. I’ve been following your channel for years, always enjoy seeing both the process and the final product!

[@2ndhendrix631]

This is a knife, fit for a god! Incredible beauty. This brings me joy and hope for humanity! You're the true definition of a master of your art!

[@benoitgrimard6639]

[@deweywallace6314]

I have tried polishing Lapis several times with limited success, and you just told me why. Truly an epic knife; great job!

[@axlfrhalo]

With enough time and dedication humans can do such amazing things, lovely video and amazing work!

[@mrunique4871]

Hi Kyle . I cut and polish opal , and for the final polish , I use a cerium oxide slake and felt for a glass finish , not sure if you tried this method but it may be worth trying in the future . This blade is truly a masterpiece , next level dude .
