The Sword is DONE! ✅ [Excelsior Episode 12]

[@GarthOJ]

This has to be one of the most perfect swords ever made.

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Thanks!

[@koudacyen]

@@KyleRoyerKnives I think Stan Lee would be proud

[@mathieuangevin8779]

Yes i agree

ONLY thing I would change is slightly dulling the pommel nut! Otherwise its perfection!!! A KING would pay chests of gold for this. CHESTS.

[@taurusfiend5836]

never in my life have i witnessed someone so genuinely in love with his craft to the point of absolute detail, passion, and happiness upon completing a piece of art. you sir give me hope that humanity is not completely lost to insanity.

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Hey thanks my friend. Glad you’re enjoying the vids Taurus

[@randycadkins]

Without Christ Jesus as Lord and Saviour, the world is lost to insanity... Its either Christ or chaos!

[@randycadkins]

@john heiskell ah, my friend, you fall under the category of a fool, this is not derogatory, but a moral indictment. You have all creation pointing to God, and you are presently suppressing the truth in unrighteousness, self deceived. Psalm 14:1 The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God. This is not an attack, but you know God exists, even though you deny it, it will always come to the surface, and at night you can't escape the reality of God, because you are made in His image, and you live in God's world. The truth is, we have all sinned, (me included) and the Bible says that the wages of sin is death. And God is just, therefore we must die for our sins against God and other people like ourselves. But God became a man and dwelt among us, and died on the cross to pay for the sins of all who would ever believe/trust in Him, and was raised from the dead on the third day, the Lord Jesus Christ. This Jesus has all authority in Heaven, and on earth. Matthew 28:18-20 He is everyone's judge. 2 Timothy 4:1 He is the ONLY Savior! Acts 4:12 You have no hope but Jesus, but the wrath of God abides on you, flee the wrath of God, and cling to Jesus! Repent, and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ!

[@zeusdarkgod7727]

@john heiskell proof of "any" god, i would say the fact we are sentient beings is proof of something, maybe not a god in the religious sense but proof nonetheless of a sentient universe. Everytime we gaze out at the night sky we are a tiny fraction of the universe gazing out at itself.

[@IDONTEVERAFRAID]

@john heiskell Westminster called they seemed to have lost one of their idiots.

[@b-wingxl8182]

That must be the most beautiful and elegant looking sword I have ever seen. And that includes even most of the swords you see in video games (if not every sword). Well done.

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Hey thanks B-wing Keep Forging On my friend Dad

[@SLAVIKTELY]

Kyle, was the customer Archangel? Mosaic pattern is out of this world. Your work always puts a smile on my face.

[@lukeevans1945]

Holy shit SLAVIK TELY didn't know you were a fan of Kyle. Makes sense though your knives also have that crisp clean look.

[@langora5804]

[@SLAVIKTELY]

@@lukeevans1945 I am amazed at the work Kyle does. This channel offers way more tips and tricks how to make a knife than mine. Don't forget, I am still learning ;-) and this is the channel where I go to learn new tricks.

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Thanks for the kind words Slavic! I really appreciate it! I especially enjoy making mosaic damascus. It’s almost time to start the forge for the next project! The customer was not Archangel. Thanks again!

[@iraklipiranishvili3352]

Your cooperation would be super cool to be seen ;) just an idea

[@brendansdnd1726]

In all my years of watching swords get crafted, I have NEVER seen such a beautiful Damascus pattern. I would kill for for a blade like that.

[@ReidarH72]

You probably would have to! ;)

[@T0YCHEST]

U need to add vanadium to mame real damascus steel

[@slayeroffurries1115]

[@JamesMBC]

That star pattern Damascus is breathtaking! And the lines in the handle grip are so elegant. Awesome work!

[@BobbyDukeArts]

Absolutely beautiful. Your attention to detail is truly second to none. Soooooo gewd

[@jacobcarolan1172]

Imagine if you could take this back and show it to a smith of its era. He would be in awe.

[@Narinjas]

He would say it is a magic sword forged by GOD.

[@arnelquinatadcan3491]

With the equipment he used

[@JamesMBC]

Even the pommel is a masterpiece in itself!

[@epicmage82]

That is one of most beautiful things I've ever seen, and I love how thorough you are. It really shows in the quality.

[@gadmugyenyi7561]

I have never seen anyone who enjoys his work half as much as this dude , true MASTERCLASS

[@robinvanlier]

I'm not gonna lie I got a little emotional on seeing the assembled end result, it's absolutely stunning. If the folks at ABS ever decide to add a rank above Master Smith (I suggest Ultimate Smithing Overlord) you're the first to deserve it. Congratulations on finishing this gorgeous masterpiece! Or should I say Ultimate Smithing Overlordpiece?

[@donna30044]

Pattern-welded steel can be amazingly beautiful when done correctly by a master; this blade is a work of art in itself, and fittings, fit, and finish only make the entire sword all the more a masterwork.

[@Tojiko_0]

This sword has got to be the most beautiful thing i have ever seen. Congrats on finishing the sword it is absolutely jaw dropping definitely a masterpiece :)

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Hey thanks Gain Kyle

[@Erdix6]

Man I’ve seen “art” in museums that don’t even compare to how beautiful this sword is.

[@Yoe_mAmA]

This sword turned out to an epic masterpiece. Absolutely flippin astounding .🔥

[@jbl00d33]

You are truly a master of your craft. The attention to detail left me speechless. This is a masterpiece. Just STUNNING!

[@SEFullmetalJake]

Omg I literally gasped when this popped up for me. I’m getting comfortable ready to watch perfection! Thanks for this Royer’s!

[@dunki-dunki-dawg]

Is there anyway of building to an even higher level of quality than this..? I have racked my brains but I can't possibly see how. It is flawless throughout and it is just so wonderfully elegant, each part perfectly goes together. If I ever come into a lot of disposable income, I would cherish such a gorgeous piece of art, something one can pass down through the family. Imagining a grandson being shown something like this one day. His eyes would be popped out so far. This is where the true meaning of Magic comes from. Taking an idea, shaping it in the mind and then turning all that imagination into a physical object that you can see, touch and feel. Kyle you have a gift for magic:)

[@Amehdion]

"Very bright was that sword when it was made; the light of the sun shone redly in it, and the light of the moon shone cold, and its edge was hard and keen. And Kyle gave it a new name and called it Excelsior, perfection incarnate." Seriously though, there are a lot of very talented smiths out there these days, but your work is orders of magnitude above the rest. Another masterpiece from our master smith.

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Awesome Amehdion Thanks. Be careful and be safe Merry Christmas my friend Dad

[@wardenofglass4628]

I'm a little late but that damascus was absolutely stunning! It blew my mind how a person could even make something like that! You are one hell of a guy! cheers!

[@LincolnSixAlpha]

Stunning work of art! I really appreciate your hard work on making such a beautiful sword.

[@henrywilsonwinter]

That is the Rolls Royce of swords. It looks amazing.

[@gemininimeg]

I was recommended this by KZbin and I watch the whole build from start to finish and man.... That's one beautiful work of art made out of forged Damascus steel, acid etched, gold inlays and stained in coffee. The detail is just, well I'm at an awww, just speechless. You definitely earned a subscriber.

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Hey thanks Gem. Glad you’re enjoying the vids my friend. Be safe and be careful Dad

[@emywizzy7868]

Amazing work!! The shapes you made with your Damascus is incredible. Just a heads up, you “buff” scratches and dings, and you “polish” to a mirror shine. Just info from my detailing days. Love your work 🖤🖤🖤

[@strategosopsikion8576]

That sword is probably the finest that has ever been made. Literally.

[@NeillWylie]

I think you might be right. I never knew things like this could be made!

[@joshuadouglass8225]

@Jeremy Stephens hammer welded steel is pretty strong, and the tang doesn’t have any obvious visual stress points

[@Furiouspenguin27]

@Jeremy Stephens if it’s properly forged isn’t Damascus welded together? I can’t imagine a Damascus sword would be too much weaker than a regular sword if it’s been properly fused

[@davidyoung2553]

Probably one of the most beautiful and perfectly built swords I've seen built in a fat min. Great job.

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

[@kurtlluch9681]

The last sword he made was sold for around $56k 🤦🏻‍♂️ I can’t begin to guess the price of this one

[@user-rr5ce1wb2j]

100k+ easily. Factor in the cost of a master smith per hour times by 10+ hour days times by 4.5 months. 100k is conservative I think

[@Hostile_Design]

As much as I enjoy the hand-made, rugged, and real world-grit of many a blacksmith's work, the precision and finesse of this sword is absolutely crazy and the result fantastic.

Marvelous. Simply marvelous. I am speechless. I have tons of high quality expensive military grade melees. And i always wanted to see, and if possible, get one hell of a genuine sword of fantasy world. But all i could find was just props or trashes. I just have been simply given up. But you had me realized there is still hope. Someone who understands and resonates with art of blade and beauty of steel is so so scarce.

[@Setnja92]

Oh my ... this is beatiful. One thing is to hear about sword making in the past and different thing is to see with own eyes, how is the sword born in the hands of master crafter. I've heard before, that sword (and armor) makers were able to made color patterns on the blade, to blackened the metal, to engraved intrigued ornaments and decorated them with gold, to polish the surface to mirror like reflection. But to see such sword done fresh new and shining, thats hard to describe. You should be really proud on yourself, only very few people are able to do this.
