I Made An Everyday Carry Knife (The Beginner Bladesmith)

[@amigi968]

The most amazing thing about Kyle is his patience.

[@piccalillipit9211]

Patience is largely what separates the professional from the amateur. I used to work with an old cabinet maker - he would spend 3 hours making a gig to make 1 perfect cut.

[@knifethrower9733]

This is why he's a master bladesmith, his hand made stuff always looks machined

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Thanks amigi Happy new year Kyle

[@joejones9520]

I agree.

[@wildanelsalman6053]

couldn't agree more

[@GreenBeetle]

Inspiring

[@MotivateThis]

GB, I am a sub of yours as well as Kyle's. I have been a sub since you made a knife out of bacon and quenched it in beer! I love the new stuff you're doing with the bearings, but that lawn mower tapanga/parang is gonna be hard to beat.

[@BurnsBlades]

Same as Jody, GB. Been a sub of yours and Kyle's for a long time and I agree with you on this as well. Kyle has some amazing knife making skills, as do you. Speaking of which... still hoping to see you make some copper mai. :D

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

You're Inspiring!

[@amigi968]

I knew Steve followed Kyle. Nice to see two of my favorite smiths here.

[@jerrieyum]

Green Beetle you are awesome 👏🏾

[@tyleranderson8751]

I think this truly shows how you’re a master Bladesmith so much better than your mosaic swords. So clean and elegant made with minimal tools. Shows it’s not the tools that make the smith but your knowledge, thank you!

[@MarcoSantosMAMS]

Don't forget, this guy have knowledge and ability, but also a good amount of talent!

[@RedBeardOps]

Phenomenal work from a phenomenal Master Smith! Goes to show you don't need a garage full of tools to make an epic knife!

[@FireCreekForge]

Just proof once again that a craftsman is a craftsman regardless of the particular tools at his disposal.

[@j0hnn13K]

Kyle "Lets make a simple every day knife" Me "i'll be needing a display case for that knife!" Dang it Kyle, even if you keep it "simple" you make something that is downright gorgeous to see. As always, love your content man, to see a master at his or her craft is always inspiring and a true joy to watch.

Hey thanks jOhnn Happy new year my friend Dad

[@j0hnn13K]

@@KyleRoyerKnives a happy new year to you too :D may 2021 be an amazing year for you :)

[@zanecoetzee5561]

Just files and no belts. Your attention to detail is on another level. You got my sub!!!!!!!

[@blackbeltjones7463]

Kyle, you are the quintessential dork. You make knives with a vision, a vision possible with your tools and capabilities, all while honoring your craft and the object itself. You create, in this case, applying the "more with less" mantra. You set out to realize a dream. Long live the dork!

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Your too kind my funny friend Cheers from the Ozarks Dad

[@Aleeknives]

What a beautiful sweeping design Kyle! I love that you forge the blade and the handle to shape before grinding! Your work always impresses me and also inspires me!

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Thanks my friend Merry Christmas and happy new year Dad

[@nooneyouknowhere6148]

I love that you are showing how to do this with simple hand tools that most people can access.

[@rorydonaldson2794]

This was a nice little surprise for us Kyle! Your persistence and dedication to all that hand filing was very impressive

[@Thisismycomment.]

That's exactly what I was thinking.

[@ameddler5370]

This knife has so many details. It is awesome. Great lokking knife.

[@brysonalden5414]

Always refreshing to see a MS work with hand tools, and the knife speaks for itself; the maker is more important than tool choice.

[@codysimmons4489]

Just goes to show that practice and patience matter more than the amount of money that you spend on tools. Great work as always!

[@camerongunn7906]

Wow! You make it look simple. Skill and patience right there folks.

[@SamPeers1]

Absolutely stunning, patience and care at every step and a flawless result. By far the best quality and attention to detail I have seen. Bravo

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Grazie my friend Dad

[@BarbershopCustoms]

Simple and beautiful! Well made as always :)

[@XBullitt16X]

Even your "hand tool" knives look like masterpieces, the time patience and attention to detail always shows in your end piece. Isn't an understatement to say you're one of the best at your craft, certainly the best I have seen so far here on YT thats for sure.

[@LincolnSixAlpha]

Wow... What a beautiful, yet elegantly simple knife. Who knew something like this could have so many hours dedicated to it!

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Hey thanks Brian Kyle

[@brendanesposito]

So cool you demonstrated this with simple hand tools... very cool. Never underestimate a file!!! The forging saved some time away from the grinder too. And a quality product. Very reminiscent of the knife making I grew up with... the days before belt grinders... the days before grinders ... period!

[@Lopro94]

I do appreciate that you let the process and the result speak for itself without comment. The montage is thorough and involving and I like to think you were listening to that music while making that knife.

[@cloudforest4087]

The colored wood handle is marvelous.

[@abidwizardofoz9079]

Absolutely amazing. I don't even know how you don't get tired. Attention to detail is outstanding. Great jobs MS

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Thanks Abid Kyle

[@brodypayne2671]

thanks kyle, that was excellent. i tend to get caught up in filling my workshop with equipment etc but this was a great reminder that only basic tools and a lot of patience and practice are required to make great knives

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Hey thanks Brody. Keep Forging On my friend Dad

[@Garlaug]

This is one of the best tutorials on a knife build with only hand tools I have seen. Well done!

[@jackwriter1908]

It looks really great and the wood... I don't have words for it.

[@briansfattofitjourney2805]

Love the use of the Harbor Freight anvil...

[@wappkid]

That's the most badass knifemaking video on KZbin.

[@breakawaybooks4752]

The taper on that tang is really nice.

[@chandlerevans3645]

A true master at work! Incredible how you made this with just basic hand tools

[@keithkrone77]

This is just incredible to watch.

[@QuinchGaming]

The level of skill in your hands and your eyes is nothing but awe inspiring. Such a level of personal craftmanship is, unfortunately, rarer these days and it makes me hopeful that people like you around the world keep these skills alive.

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

We all choose daily what we will make of it my friend. Failure in not final and fear is not fatal. Happy new year mate Dad

[@motaman8074]

Meticulous work, as usual. Gorgeous!

[@IanZainea1990]

I love that the tang tapers. very cool touch

[@Keinna]

Amazing result comes from some simple tools.

[@alexanderguestguitars1173]

That holder you've got in the vice is a brilliant idea. Very simple and effective/easy to use.

[@indianahoosier7113]

His workmanship is just outstanding.

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Hey Mike thanks for your transparency about your past. We are with you my friend. Dad

[@Aleeknives]

It was especially cool to watch all of the shop tool hacks in this video! Showing the alternative methods will help a lot of new smiths out that don't have all the fancy equipment yet! Just goes to show you can make an absolutely stunning product even without high grade tools! A+

[@glenpaul3606]

Beautiful knife. So much done by hand...lots of patience there. well done

[@americancanyonknives6528]

Skills, skills of design,patience, hammer, file, technique it’s all here, sped up, but here. Very cool 😎 loves it

[@savos020]

I agree with all of the comments but the thing that sticks out the most is this Master of blades just showed that if he or any of us lost everything but the love of making blades, that you could literally build a knife with 300$ or less and make something worth 2-3 times the 200-300$ investment. That and he shares almost all his knowledge for free, that is what makes a true Master, passing down the knowledge to and for future Bladesmiths. Thanks Kyle.

[@piccalillipit9211]

When I was a kid I used to make walking sticks with carved horn handles, dogs heads, shepherds crooks and the like. I did not even have electricity in the shed. The drill was turned by hand under the light of an old paraffin storm lantern. But actually - they were some of the best things I have ever made. I have nothing else, all the time in the world and the enthusiasm. We think a workshop is a must to do ANYTHING. Its really not...

[@vik-shistik666]

Это невероятно,- вершина совершенства! Сколько труда и любви! Даже не представляю, как можно оценить стоимость такого ножа,- это просто титанический труд и невероятное мастерство!

Kyle goes from crafting the most intricately detailed mosaic sword, using an assortment of power tools over a period of several months, to making a simple yet gorgeous, straightforward full tang knife with only handtools and elbow grease in one day. Bravo!
