[@micktait8576]

Hi Kyle can you please tell me what are those little clamps you used to clamp the handle scales on

[@koolaideprived]

Hi Kyle, I made a knife and submitted pictures, but watching Wengel's video, he said you needed to follow everyone here on yt and on Instagram to qualify. Is this necessary?

[@pounceonyou1958]

Hi Kyle, you are an amazing artist, what price would you sell a knife like this with CPM-Magnacut blade steel for?

[@edwardfletcher7790]

I love watching your process and your explanations are excellent. BUT, it's super difficult to concentrate on your voice with that horrible loud music constantly blasting away ☹️

[@TimSzabo]

More like "My expensive gadgets made a knife in one day. And I did the light work!" Joking joking. Sweet video

[@Lynkah]

I just want to say, Kyle, that demonstration on exactly the effects of too hard vs tempered, was so immeasurably useful. I've always wanted to see an easily digestible demonstration of the difference it makes and this truly was that. It's impressive that just a little softness, makes it so much more real world usable.

[@Dchero45]

Anybody else find all his videos incredibly calming, informative, entertaining with a splash of antics thrown in or just me? haha

[@adamspivey]

Even his "two day build" looks better than most people's "masterpiece" 😊😊

[@user-zp8vn5cx9r]

may 24 hour

[@danielgoen9452]

It's a pleasure watching a person who REALLY knows what he's doing making knives. Do you ever sell knives like this? I realize you make super high end stuff, but as a disabled, OLD, Meat cutter, I will never own one of those knives. I held a knife in my hand for 8 hours a day, for 42 years, so I truly appreciate such quality. Thanks for making these videos. Passes my over abundance of time. Have a great day!

[@frankieforza]

Its hard for you to do things a day because your work is super quality, paying attention to detail and going above and beyond in every little aspect takes time. Your work is super high quality and more like artwork. I have mad respect for your work, you truly are an artist.....

[@lancemillward1912]

the nod of approval essential foe the success of any project.

[@RedBeardOps]

Phenomenal work as always sir!

[@jimcorbett3764]

I love the 'crunch time' background music. It's too bad about missing the deadline, but I think sacrificing the deadline in favor of quality is the right call. The handle looks great, so does the blade(I love the shimmer on the maple)- great job!

[@danthemakerman]

It looks sooo good! All the little details take it to the next level!

[@beezo2560]

That hits all the buttons with me. Clipped drop point, satiny finish and the scales... the color is really deep. 5 stars. Go Team Royer!

[@brushybillroberts2654]

Beautiful piece of steel, with scales worthy of the blade. Looks like a green curly maple. Very well done, congratulations.

[@fredd4785]

Your work is always out of this world. I get so excited whenever I see a new video of yours posted!

[@capetownoke2780]

I only recently started Blade smithing and I love it. Have only done a few knives but I have been satisfied with them in general. THEN! I see what Kyle does in basically two days, how clean and perfect it is. And you realize there are massive levels to this game and im just scratching the surface!!!!

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Spectacular Cape Town. You’re heading in the right direction my friend. You may want to check out our online courses at learnknifemaking.com. We have courses for the beginner,novice, and the pro. We are in your corner. Keep Forging On Dad

[@armadilloforge]

Simple yet elegant. Beautiful handle material as well.

[@thathurted1682]

the amount of control you have with your hands is insane. I'm a relatively new maker and seeing you free-hand the plunges to shaping the handle to free-handing that final cutting edge when sharpening is jaw-dropping.

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Hey thanks. Merry Christmas.

[@peterhawkins1991]

A real fusion of art and 100% utility has a fascination. BRILLIANT.

[@user-fx1kw2dt2y]

I literally watch knife makers videos daily have seen thousands taking notes and you by far are my favorite your work is amazing

[@chasethe_dr3am986]

Whaaaat!! Even a one day knife build from you is crazy beautiful. You're just insane man. Wish I could afford to take your course and have the tools to attempt a build like that for real. You're just on another level with it.

[@DetailingJourney]

He tried to do that in one day but ended in two days, still great knife though

[@chasethe_dr3am986]

Yeah I realized that.

[@fuddrucker74]

Beautiful work. Thank you, for bringing us along

[@christobaliancantu7112]

That was an awesome build! Thank you for the video! I really like the tapered handle! Can't wait for the next one! Y'all be safe and have a blessed day 🙂

[@jaimeherreraopazo1352]

Wow, una hermosa pieza, digna de un 1er lugar en una competencia. Simetría, sin detalles, armonioso y lo más importante, totalmente funcional. Felicitaciones, saludos desde Chile.

[@user-cs3hi8zp7p]

A "quick" fun, mess-around knife for Kyle..is a $800 smoke-show blade! At least that's what I think it could be worth having a true MasterSmith make it! Great job Kyle💪😎👍

[@rodneycruz2575]

As always, Kyle, great video! Informative and fun. I always get so inspired to get out in my shop and start a new project each time I finish watching one of your videos. Thanks!

[@rodneycruz2575]

@KyleRoyerKnives.- Hello Kyle. You asked me to txt you back?

[@thundercrowz]

I would love to see you make a tanto with your style and flare!

[@outbackladas]

I agree with you, the handle shape is really good, adds that something extra to the overall look of the knife. Top job 👍. Regards from Down Under.

[@jayceecombs6887]

Luv'it Kyle! Especially the tiger grain and color in the scales! Thank You, J

[@tonyhallen1062]

Loved how you demoed the hardness of the blade vs toughness. Just subscribed.

[@Haechpee]

Love your work Kyle. More! I want more!

[@nerdskiii]

Yes! get it in production!

[@jessedunn6169]

Well done thank u for showing everyone about hardness

[@fedormarkvardt9054]

I love watching your videos. great work!

[@alexaderrochalindiman4323]

Que fantástica pieza...un genio Kyle

[@zanehastie7589]

Fantastic. Love your work.

[@davidscadlock5569]

NNnnnnice One!!!!! Great presentation - Thank You! Lots of great info! I'm for the build along!!

[@scottfortune9016]

Man tried to make a standard knife in one day, FAILS BEAUTIFULLY!! Kyle, is that knife for sale? I might be able to afford one piece of your beautiful knives. Probably not, but I'm hoping for the chance.

[@BrendanLightfoot]

I was wondering how you could bring your method down to a one day build. I particularly enjoyed the work in the front end of the handle scales. Stellar work mate.

[@coppertopv365]

Buy a cheap propane forge off Amazon. Use Old junkyard leaf springs, mower blades.. heat em and bang em out on a solid chunk of metal, and heat up an Quench in warm.. well old motor oil works, quench oil, or something like that.. Just try your hand..

[@brunobarks6544]

Top notch quality my friend 👍 Beautiful !

[@SamTownsBladesmith]

Awesome work mate, even in 48 hours that's one hell of a knife!

[@thebedwargod]

This turned out great!

[@DudesIn101]

I enjoy watching you work Kyle, your a perfectionist!

[@BradGryphonn]

That is a very nice bushcraft knife. As always, a beautifully constructed knife.

[@hulkthedane7542]

I really enjoyed watching you make a "simple" build, in relatively short time. No fancy billet construction, just steel. I know, you are maticulous to the bone - a true nerd -, that is your hallmark, and I like that. But it is great to see you do "down to earth" things now and agsin, too. Still high quality. Great video, beautiful knife - at a level af "fancynes" and (presumed) affordability where it would be a joy to use on an every day level. 👍👍👍

[@Zero_8347]

I love the handle shape and the tapered tang

[@holgerpresents]

Hello Kyle, thank you for the very interesting and informative video. Once again I learned a lot. You are and will remain a great artist. Thank you for showing. Best regards Holger

[@holgerpresents]

@KyleRoyerKnives.- Hallo Kyle, I don't know, what you meen? Thanks for your answer. Best regards Holger

[@agnaldoFSJ]

Another great project! Congrats.

[@gregedwards3267]

Much more interesting than I expected!

[@chrisdyck6524]

You are a real phenomenon in your field my dear.

[@dougbish5533]

I did the same thing on the front of a knifes handle I did for a local historic blacksmith society auction. My buddy bought it and loves it. Inlaid the handle with leather strips. Favorite handle I've done so far . Like it even more than the keyhole bolster chefs knife I made the father in law .

[@fishdude666ify]

Love the handle scales!!! Reminds me of like a high end flame maple top PRS guitar.

[@Justusrabbits]

Thanks for the video

[@RansomsDude]

Holy that was sick!!! You make so cool knifes!!!

[@yishaimendelsohn620]

Great video, great backing track.

[@Fernando31ish]

Incredible!

[@96xl1200c]

Satin blade and tang with the polishd scales eally helps that handle pop!

[@TobyFireandSteel]

Awesome build Kyle 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Thanks

[@druwk]

I have to say, I really like clip points on knives. Your design profiles are always great 👍

[@afcutelaria5461]

Beautiful, beautiful ...👏👏👏

[@mjkmajestikarts6363]

I love it !!

[@dellboyrodney8046]

Beautiful handle looks like you're watching the matrix 😎 an easy build for a man who turns out the calibre of knives and swords

[@ilmbutton]

What a beautiful knife! I really enjoy your videos, the presentation, timing and editing is superb.

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Hey thanks William

I really need the same kind of plunge line attachment, it's so convenient.

[@halofan714]

Beautiful blade

[@Anmobgoccult20]

Wonderful, as I always said, just precise, clean, beautiful, perfect and always surprising, video and the brilliant craftsman, nothing more to say, his objects and knives are, of art value, well done and respect from old BG.

[@jpanici]

Wouldn’t mind seeing more quick little projects like this. 🔪🗡⚔️

[@vladimirkovacevic1656]

beautiful knife and handle

[@kiddcomet3563]

What a sweet knife 👍

[@GARYMANDIEVAN]

Kyle you have made awesomeness

[@Pablo668]

You do some really nice work my man. It would have taken me a lot longer, but I've always worked slow.

[@OlegShushkovsky]

Great blade finish. Like it. But more I like spending hours in sanding it. Deep in meditation. ))))

[@Mdg87]

Holy crap, that knife is amazing

[@kenmarapese9085]

Beautiful knife!

[@CristianPozzessere]

Wow amazing work ❤

[@ketutkarangsemarawibawa9430]

I love the knife handle, it's look like a shrimp from the top. Amazing

[@DocPreacher]

That knife is B-E-A-UTIFUL! The scales take a simple blade design to a whole other level. I would love to see more blades like this. Kudos to you, Sir!

[@soonerfrac4611]

Awesome blade! That handle is great as well, maybe a red g10 liner to make the green pop a little.

[@brandonferguson9413]

Your 2-day knife is one of the coolest 😎🤙

[@rockyroller5817]

Build a knife in a day? Kyle is like no it can’t be done right, and that’s the only way I make a knife.

[@Brahma-Astra]

soo nice to watch n the background music is so nice.............thanks

[@glenturner1668]

Nice work mate, still informative. Good time management on a single day build. Thumbs up

[@glenturner1668]

Almost single day lol

[@philochristos]

That sure is a pretty knife! Imana make one!

[@wayneerwin1498]

Another amazing video

[@victorpapaavp]

Do I smell a Kyle Royer everyday series production knife? :D Even in two days, your work is still top tier Sir, love watching your videos!

[@charliebowen5071]

I’m a bit of an ocd nut job but crunching numbers Kyle.. if you made 5 of these a week you could make 5000 a week!! Your abs calibur knives are just breathtaking but these edc style knives made by a master smith!! People would pay and it would possibly take some of the burden off those huge three month projects…. These would sell at a thousand dollars or more and the demand is there… even without hand rubbed finishes.. he’ll you could do a stonewash and people would buy them… there’s something about the lines of your work.. it’s instantly recognisable if you know knives. Like Bruce bump, Jerry Fisk, loveless, quesenberry… your stuff is mind blowing… you can see the attention to detail… belissimo!

[@traymac11]

You are awesome!!!

[@rodrigobarbosa7742]

Você e um dos melhores cuteleiro do mundo que Deus te abençoe sempre

[@bratskienozi]

шикарная работа.

[@jamesbarisitz4794]

That's a real beauty. To me, a tapered tang is the most important part of a custom belt knife.

[@klasiks92]

Someone here believed Kyle was going to make a knife in a day? I DINT... he's a perfectionist he can't finish a knife in a day. Great work as always.

[@The1withlogic]

Great blade, now we need a one day Damascus build.

[@Tys_Place]

I really like how that came together. Have you made a throwing knife?

[@johnwanck3315]

Forged in Fire contestants make fully functional knives, including Damascus blades, in 6 hours.

[@bonesylikesgoodmusic3401]

That's fair, but the difference between this knife and most of the ones on forged in fire is fit and finish. You see a lot of ugly or downright unfinished blades that were "done" in six hours on that show.

[@NeillWylie]

very pretty, especially your handle shape.

[@charliebowen5071]

Lol.. one day and it’s better than most custom makers stuff! You are knife god! Come on! That green maple and the hand rub satin. The swedge and the plunges just perfection…. I know many who would pay hundreds for it.. maybe $1500

[@meandmyshadow2213]

What a knive! I want it so bad... 🥰

[@renniesmith8073]

Beautiful knife

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Thanks

[@Serkanbah]

shape of the handle is really good to grab i love the knife

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Thanks

[@XBullitt16X]

You're too much of a perfectionist to do a 1 day build haha

[@goldcobraarima9819]

Not Bad at all, good Job :)

[@nuxworxknives2957]

I was literally screaming to drill the handle holes first!

[@philochristos]

Moi aussi!

[@bryan7567]

I haven't heard the tune for macarena in a long time! Sweet knife bro!!!
