After Soaking In Acid, This Knife Is Done ✅

🚀 Get all the tools and materials I use through my free PDF 👉www.learnknife...
In this video, I'm working on making a special dagger with a stone handle called "Serenity." The Serenity Dagger is almost done, but before I finish it, I decide to dip the blade in a special acid called ferric chloride. This acid will make a cool pattern called a mosaic on the blade. First, I clean the blade really well, and then I put it in the acid. I'm super excited to see how it turns out!
Next, I use coffee to make the blade darker and bring out the pattern even more. It takes a few tries to get it just right, but in the end, I get the look I want. Then, I put a shiny wax finish on it to protect it and make it look even better.
Now that the blade is etched, darkened, and shiny, I work on the fittings. I sand them until they are super smooth and shiny too. Then, I use a special process called gun bluing to create my black mirror finish.
Finally, I sharpen the dagger so that it's super sharp and ready to use. I put all the pieces together, including the stone handle, dark blade, and black fittings with gold inlays.
I'm so happy with how the Serenity Dagger turned out, especially with the stone handle that I've been wanting to try for a long time. I want to tell all of you not to be afraid to try new things and take on challenges in your own projects. It's so much fun to see what you can create! May the Forge Be With YOU!

[@kellon.o.g3281]

how much would you sell this knife for? is 25k enough?

[@design-build-give]

What Caranuba wax do you use?

[@NickismyNickname]

Stunning knife, for the fittings have you ever tried micro mesh sandpaper?

[@oneshotme]

That is so beautiful Kyle!!!! I enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

[@MrCeo1978buddy]

Beautiful work

[@joshuasterling2144]

This is the type of ceremonial blade you could have handed to a king as a gift. There is so much to look at with this piece.

[@stevenbaker43]

I agree, its that worthy.

[@johnnyboy1586]

Yes Louie the 14th king of France would have approved of this dagger

[@RaymondBCrisp]

And be named chief smith shortly afterwards.

[@DaroffApFire]

Kyle, you're hands down one of the greatest bladesmiths of all time. Your attention to detail, creative vision and level of meticulousness is unmatched as far as I'm concerned.

[@tbrowniscool]

They really need higher work benches. His spine is a 90 degree bend for hours a day!

[@DaroffApFire]

@@tbrowniscool I can agree with that.

[@HanoiHustler]

Yes you correct sir. The Craftsmanship is just on another level. The dagger looks enchanted for Christ sakes.

[@MadsNordholm]

My favourite part about all your builds, is how much of your soul you poor into them. This dagger is incredibly beautiful. Well done!

[@youtubenutzer3359]

In 1000 years, these knives will be in the museum.

[@RVsbladesnthangs]

I didn't think I would like an S guard on a dagger... It's actually pretty cool, I love the entire build from tip to sheath! And thank you for everything you do for us beginning knife builders out here trying to piece together information! God Bless ✝️

[@ScrewDriverxxx]

Every time I see a new blade from you, I can't believe you could make a better one. Then you go ahead and make an even better one. Fantastic work!

[@lolwut6666]

Way to make fun of people that died on the titanic dude

[@Just001]

@@lolwut6666absolutely mortifiying how they used a movie clip!! this is devastating

[@donavantew8278]

Just a awesome piece brother. That’s the coolest dagger I have ever seen in my lifetime. You rock dude

[@chrishayes5755]

that's a masterpiece. the royal purple in the handle mixed with the gold and crazy damascus layout. looks like something designed for royalty.

[@boges11]

The shots with the LED strip around the etch tube were amazing. Great idea. Amazing dagger fellas.

[@f.b.jeffers0n]

No words could properly describe that beauty...

[@CrinosAD]

Kyle.... This is art on a multiple angle... Beautiful result!

[@jeffreyyoung1943]

For a few years now I have been watching you content I would say undoubtedly no question you have to be the best knife maker in the world I have no idea what you do with your knives after they are finished but I do hope they go to some of the best knife collectors in the world like myself just something about in a few have the absolutely love keep up the great work I hope you make 100 more

[@imthejordenaught]

This is hands down my favorite piece I've seen you make!

[@henrykleyn3423]

This is why I like to watch you work, you treat every piece like it's your first-born.

[@John-dx3xq]

Beautiful dagger.

[@clydecox2108]

Nothing less than perfect. Say hello to the family. Love you guys…

[@clydecox2108]

No.

[@dplagoon]

As a craftsman, you stand alone at the very top in your attention to detail. You rarely see perfection in art. But damn you've done it again.

[@guillermoalfaro2714]

Absolutely beautiful knife 🔪 buddy nice job!.blessings 👍 👌

[@masonleeth956]

You are an absolute Jedi when it comes to bladesmithing, my friend. 👌🏼

[@kurtbogle2973]

Wow I am in awe of your ability. Artwork doesn't say it at all. Its something more that there is no word for.

[@marioblanco9830]

Trabajo impecable...una verdadera obra de arte.Felicitaciones Kyle.

[@sanguinemoon9201]

I've been watching for years and yet have not lost that sense of awe when you complete a project. 😮 truly amazing

[@realeyesrealizereallies1194]

Probably your best to date.

[@thymii]

You are an artist mate! I am a mere mortal in the presence of a more beautiful and everlasting object. Even being able to see it is breathtaking, I can't imagine how it would feel to hold it. Watching this legitimately made me feel small. Like peering into a piece of fantasy....

[@devonholden6403]

I dont understand how you dont have millions of followers. Your work is mind blowing.

[@42HitchHikers]

When you put this in the serenity playlist, you can officially move it into the completed projects group, congratulations

[@ericha7393]

Kyle's passion and enthusiasm is top notch

[@literate-aside]

I watch a lot of makers, and that is perhaps the most beautiful knife I have ever seen. Truly beautiful.

[@BlitzedNostradamus]

If they ever made a museum of blacksmithing I sincerely hope they add your work in an exhibit.

[@Sam-yd6]

This is by far the nicest thing I’ve ever seen anyone make. I’m not really a materialistic person and have no need for things I don’t or can’t use but I would love to own this

[@japanegao6818]

O Ferreiro dos Deuses! Maratonei o canal!🌟

[@jacooosthuizen3593]

Holy moly! Most beautifull knife ever!

[@thetanneryinc.5887]

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!!! You do some pretty amazing work!

[@key2Dhwy]

Kyle, your attention to detail, from the macro level to the micro level, is astounding. It makes me wonder how your brain is wired and how I could get some. And it is only exceeded by your patience. If I were to critique anything, it's that you bend over too much. Your back will one day pay a serious price. You don't feel it as much now when you're young and strong but you will eventually. I hope to one day have you make something for me. It would be a real treasure.

[@Theoldindie]

You are not a Master Bladesmith....You are a god!

[@willcookmakeup]

Oh wow. The finish and pattern on this blade is absolutley next level. Holy crap was not excpecting that

[@Zaneybaby02]

you really do make the most beautiful knives dude. this entire project was a great watch.

[@BradGryphonn]

That sheath is beautiful, Kyle.

[@jonasgeez2140]

Geez you make some of the absolute best looking knives ever you have an amazing talent sir

[@plasticoflamingo2952]

You do great works. But, this... this... this is on a completely new level. From material selection, to creating the sheath, to creating the knife, itself, this has been an odyssey. Brilliant work!

[@ThatWorks]

Nicely done!

[@Lord_Baphomet_]

The reason it called serenity is your enemies will become distracted by how beautiful the knife is before they meet their demise… bringing you sweet serenity and satisfaction.

[@F0XD1E]

It's breathtaking. I hope history remembers you as one of the greats.

[@marcelvandenburg8737]

Executed in absolute perfection. Can't imagine anything could be improved. Very impressive craftsmanship!

[@liquerinfrnt]

I imagine blades like this were the type of thing kings would carry. So beautiful and such master craftsmanship.

[@Lost_Arts]

Best knife maker on YT. I love how u don't settle for anything less than perfection.

[@castillejan]

You are just a spectacular master of your craft. As someone else said, you have easily cemented yourself as one of the greatest blade-smiths in human history. Thank you for sharing your work.

[@cesarjeannottat3984]

Clover pattern? I think that's a fitting name

[@boblovve]

that is beautiful, color, shape, gloss... love the hard work you have put into this amazing dagger, the flower shapes and contrasts of color all just look phenomenal. ty for the opportunity to see it.

[@Brandon-mo8np]

Would love to see a video on how much your work sells for. Would be a treat for everyone im sure. I'm sure this would sell for over 50K considering the time and effort you put into it and the craftsmanship.

[@veronicachandler6639]

Serenity is an absolutely stunning work of art!

[@scottmantooth8785]

*a full set of ceremonial armor made from this pattern would be stunning...as well as insanely labor intensive and reflectively expensive to produce but at the same time a master class in exquisite beauty*

[@philochristos]

You are setting the standard, Kyle.

[@Jeffrose_]

It turned out amazing. Your skills are better today than ever. I love your work. Its good enough for a King.

I can't decide which part of this blade I like best, each part is gorgeous, that handle...the sheath, the damascus, the guard...i mean...just WOW! Thank you Kyle for showing us here how much work you put into these blade builds.

- Breathtakingly beautiful. - Very unique. - What I imagine a 16th century king might have on his hip for formal occasions. (But likely far better)

[@CarlSanford76]

Sir,your knife making skills are Jedi level. Truly amazing.

Would love to see this level of utter artistry in axes... Often see people making very nice axes, but never to this level of pure art

[@bobothewood9628]

Looks absolutely amazing. Great Job!!

i have never seen a more beautiful knife than this ............. 👍👍

[@ronror]

Waited for weeks to see this, thanks for the content😂

[@ZeroCiaran]

The Serenity Dagger came out amazing, infact amazing doesn't even cover it. The balance point, the shine, the crisp lines of the gold inlay, the super neat patterning on the blade and a stone handle - all fitting into a matching sheath, absolutely fantastic work. I've enjoyed this build a lot!

[@kellycollier2026]

So beautiful Kyle. Thanks for sharing this journey with us.

Absolutely stellar work,Kyle!🤯 The finishing is always the make or break moment on any project... & you nailed it!WELL DONE,sir.🏆

This dude would have made a killing back in Medieval times, but it had been 10x's harder to forge without modern machinery/tools, but so worth it. 👍

[@blazecorp]

Some of the most beautiful pieces Ive ever seen come from you guys. Absolute master craftsmen. Thanks for sharing the builds with us.

[@Yuki_Ika7]

Amazing! If this was an item in an RPG it would be of Mythical Quality!

[@Daniel.Griffith]

An absolute blessing to all blade lovers ! Amazing job sir

[@Afeller]

This is amazing, as a knife maker myself this blows my mind. On the topic of gemstone handles, I highly encourage you, Kyle, to look at the works of Jay Fisher. You two are my bladesmithijg idols

[@Flyboyminer]

Unbelievable blade, Sir. The balance is very sweet for that length. Also your video editing and layout was just as satisfying to watch. Thank you.

[@_BLANK_BLANK]

Idk if you will end up seeing this. But if you want to sand higher than 3000 wet or dry. Get micromesh pads. By far the best thing ive found for high polishes well above that. Also the 3m micron polishing films are very good for that.

[@CruzCervantes955]

dude this is the best blade i've ever seen i'm so glad I watched this Vid. Good Job 😁👍

[@julians.5338]

I've seen a lot of knives... That is, hands down, one of the most beautiful knives I have ever seen. Amazing work man

[@JoelBomfim]

Que peça maravilhosa. Linda demais. Quem a vê pronta não imagina a quantidade de técnicas, de trabalho nela. Congrats

[@renepicard8113]

Wow what a job you are a true.artist

[@maxproteinoff6202]

Fantastic Bombastic

[@ant1sokolow]

Very nice , impressive . High end jewelery like fit and finish. The blade is gorgeous, yet without being over the top. As sid in the vid the blade is also appealing from a distance. That give a depth of field effect.

[@LORDOFDISCOCHICKENS]

thats the kind of blade you build an entire building around just to showcase that one blade. amazing work and craft on this build sir!
