U honestly suck u need to quit

[@IHWKR]

thank you for showing us the process from start to finish on everything you do. Love how dad blew some sugar to the camera 😘. Hopefully you found a way to negate the problem from the last video moving forward. As always I'm impressed by your videos. The whole family is brimming with talent.

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Hey thanks ._ Cheers Dad

[@mrcool12340]

I don’t how you don’t have more views… This channel makes the most incredible knives on KZbin. I’m addicted to these types of videos. I’m beyond excited to see the finale for the XCAL!

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Glad you’re here my friend Dad

[@patw999]

Kyle, I have to say thank you. The reason is is that some of the knife makers (no not MS'sw or even journeyman) make videos and then do the patreon money beg, and look to you and decide to hove their own "knife making" video school. The difference between you and them. other than the obvious one of skill and ability, is you still teach use KZbinrs what you are doing. Once some of these monkeys come up with their patreon money beg etc... they quit and leave use Tubers wondering where they went. Some after they promised not too. Hence my gratitude to you and for you. You haven't abandoned use and you still spend your time with us. Thank You from the bottom of my heart.

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Hey thanks patw999. Thanks for noticing. Keep Forging On my friend Dad

[@BurnsBlades]

Thank you for the leather source! I'm going to be buying from them next order. That cow-shark bit got me giggling!

[@amoghgorde5877]

The part 4 of this series was recommended to me and man I am hooked on this series and I loved every minute of the craftsmanship. This is amazing and your dedication and eye for every small imperfection makes this so satisfying. Thanks for the video. Kudos!!

All I can say is WOW. The attention to detail is off the charts.

[@leatherface711]

i just want to say that i’ve been making knives for over 10 years now and until i started watching your very informative videos i rushed always to finish a knife, but now i will sit and watch your work and just take my time also using your tips and tricks to make a much better and more beautiful knife than i ever thought i could so thank you

The best knife maker there is. Your skills are unmatched my friend. As a wood worker you make me want to start metal work. Thanks for the videos.

[@beezo2560]

Hey Dad 👋 Kyle making the little pouch for the take down tool is really innovative. Fine work. Josh is slam dunking the editing work integrating the right level of music in the videos. That's a real talent. Every video is better than the last. Go Team Royer! P.S. the cow/shark pics had me rolling.

''Go back on the stitching with the stitch marker'' Really nice tip here! Now I feel the need to replace my pricking irons for a stitch marker.

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Thanks my friend Dad

[@jayceecombs6887]

Meticulous & Outstanding! Enjoyable to watch all the facets of this knifes build, and fascinating! Thank you, J

[@mitch3384]

Love the tip about making the knot disappear into the final hole! I REEALLY hate to say this, and I hope you take this with love - it feels like there's a little too much going on with the knife. Each component by itself is a masterpiece, but it feels like a case of 'Too many notes, dear Mozart, too many notes'. Beautiful, but so much bling.

[@BluSpykz]

Just as many as necessary, Your Majesty. ;)

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

My dad taught me this when I was but 8-9 years old. “ When you want to buy a piece of furniture, run your hand under the bottom side when nobody is looking and if it’s sanded, good, but if it’s sanded and finished,that’s the one to buy.” Keep Forging On my friend Dad

[@holgerpresents]

Hello Kyle, Knife and Sheath absolutely deserve it! A perfect "wedding". Thank you for showing! I wish you and your family a happy Easter Weekend. God bless you! Best wishes Holger

[@BradGryphonn]

Beautiful work. When I was in my late teens I made a couple of sheaths for my knives. They were rough and ready though. Nothing like your work. I made one from an old cow hide floor rug (with hair...).

[@bruinflight]

That has got to be the most creative and clever product placement ever!!! ^_^

[@clydetroutman8887]

You are truly a master craftsman and blade Smith, I enjoy watching your videos.

[@kevinleetreetimefpv111]

I just found your channel a day or 2 ago, the feather fighter build. Thanks for your hard work in putting together such informative and educational content. I have just recently gotten into knife making and your videos are proving to be very helpful. Thank you.

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Glad you’re here Kevin Keep Forging On my friend Dad

[@Rsama60]

Nice sheath. Thanks for the tip with pulling the knot into the hole. Make yourself a stitching pony, makes sewing much easier, believe. Personally I prefer to make the holes with an awl.

[@BolFelix]

I like the look of those cowsharks. I wonder if crococows are also smtg they're working on. I'd love to see sheaths made of that material.

[@janjoska2549]

I recommend you try saddle stich where each individual stich is secured with a knot.

[@alexhamon9261]

Would be awesome to see y'all's take on the kukri, plus it's small companion knife called a karda, and honing steel called a chakmak that traditionally ride along in the kukri sheath.

[@TalalTheScienceGuy]

Awesome job dude! Looks great!

[@jasonsands8943]

Hey! That knife looks soooo good! Have you ever made a trench dagger? I'd love to see you make on Royer MS style!

[@thatguy297]

Ok but this whole process is just functional Art. I love it.

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Exactly Copy copy my friend Dad

[@prepguy1988]

Always a pleasure to watch. Thanks for sharing.

[@F0XD1E]

Looks great. I've seen a decent amount of leatherworking videos and I don't think I've ever seen the pull the knot into the hole trick. I'll have to remember that. The cow-shark photoshops and plugging the orange seal for the cap were hilarious.

[@ianfarquharson128]

I’m gonna have to use that trick with the knot when I do my next sheath

[@nicholaseedy3244]

Love how well you cover all aspects of knife making. Such a good video.

“WERE GONNA BE GLUING THE FRONT OF THE SHEETH ON!”

[@HelixKnives]

The texture on the leather looks awesome! I'm curious why you don't use a stitching pony or vice while stitching to hold the piece, it looks kind of tricky having it bounce around all the time.

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Don’t have one yet

[@dustinleebladesmith9135]

That little thread tuck is going to come in handy, thank you! (Maybe I'll run into you guys at SLC some day)

Can you either do a video on how to make inlay tools i can use by hand or where to buy them? When i search for them only tools that works on soft metal.

[@giannimichini2338]

I love this series it is really fun to watch and I love the smithing and all of the other things you do keep it up !!!

[@HoangNguyen-hv1qy]

You could have used a golden waxed thread to match the sheath with the inlay on the knife. I think that could have homogenized the whole design.

[@MrJdsenior]

Nice idea.

[@davidelliott8324]

I had the same thought

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Copy that

[@invictusbp1prop143]

Would have homo-ified it...? Yeah, I agree.

[@outbackladas]

Another enjoyable video, good choice of music to go with it too. The sheath looks great, the colour and texture of your “cowshark “hide really compliments the handle colour and finish. Hope and pray the Royer family have a happy and safe Easter break , regards from Down Under.

The Rolls Royce of knife and sheath making 👑

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Thanks

[@MarvinConman]

I remember Kyle saying that making a sheath is a the most tedious part of making a knife but I find the whole process oddly relaxing... Usual off-topic question: Is there a way to preserve cold bluing from wearing off? I don't have a way to hot blue my knifes, but from experience I know that resheathing a blued knife will erase the bluing eventually...

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Not sure One line of thought is, the more difficult it is to do ,the better it may come out. Just a thought. Cold bluing is kinda fragile. Heard of guys using drain cleaner for bluing salts. 300 degrees of any elevated liquid presents many safety concerns. Have fun with it and be careful my friend Dad

[@SkeeNicow]

[@jimcorbett3764]

My great grandfather was attacked by a cowshark once. He had cowfin soup for dinner that night. It's interesting that you put just as much work into a small sheath as you do for a big one. The only difference is size; the quality is still top-notch.

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Sorry to hear about your grandfather. Cowshark’s bite is worse than their moo! Glad you’re here my friend Dad

[@bobvines00]

Kyle, since you have to duck/squat/bend over so much when using the "Dremel drill press," have you tried raising the entire drill press to a "more ergonomical" height? It might be worth experimenting with.

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Been raising equipment continually. It’s better than it was. Glad you’re here hanging out with us all my friend Dad

[@bradlilly8603]

Got love it. Only knifemakers would consider buying a product based on the radius of the cap

[@jakubkluba]

Why do you use horn when finishing/burnishing edges of the sheath? What are the benefits of that instead of a stick?

[@davidelliott8324]

Antler has a very polished, hard and dense surface. It won't get worn by the abrasive leather like all but the hardest woods will.

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Good question my friend. One thing is that antler is pretty hard and has a great radius and has a tight surface grain. Keep Forging On my friend Dad

[@joem1256]

So when you do any gluing together of skins, you go flesh to flesh side and get shiny on both sides? Linerless lining? 😁

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Nice side out

[@joem1256]

@@KyleRoyerKnives Coo. I was thinking about doing something similar instead of a stitched and folded over liner. Do you think that you woudl have to sticthc at the mouth of the sheath to keep the leather from separating or is the contact cement enough?

Is true that leather sheath makes the blade wanna rust if you store away the knife for a long time inside the leather sheath?

Unless it absorbs water which is available at the inside skin side, I don't know why it would. I've never experienced it.

What is the name of the music you used at the end of the video in the montage?

Have you ever considered tapering on the belt sander, at least for the roughing, before scraping? Obviously you would need a backing block, but that would be easily held for sanding. I never knew about the cow shark. On YT you can learn something new almost every day. :-/ :-)

[@Bruellhusten123]

Your work is absolutely amazing! Only very sour taste is the use of shark skin. Sharks are such amazing animals. I am no veggie or something like that. I have no issue with cow leather. But sharks are so important for the marine ecosystem that I would really hate to see people exploiting our oceans just to make a sheath. If its grown in some farm - okay, but hunting endangered animals in an endangered ecosystem would just suck all the way. Would love to learn more about where they actually get their shark skin from.
