I am a full-time Mastersmith knifemaker, and I love my job! I specialize in forged fixed blade knives and also make many other types of beautiful knives.
In March of 2007, I went to the W.F. Moran School of Bladesmithing in Old Washington, Arkansas where I took a two week class on Intro to Bladesmithing under ABS Mastersmiths Bert Gaston and Greg Neely. This is where I learned how to make a blade that would pass the ABS Journeyman Smith Performance Test, after that I took a class on Handles and Guards under ABS Mastersmith Jim Walker where I learned how to make handles out of stag, exotic woods and many other materials.
In June, 2011 I received my Mastersmith Stamp at the Atlanta BLADE Show. Now that I have been granted my MS certification I have a desire to expand my field and continue learning and teaching what I learn, God has given me all the opportunities and teachers that I’ve had and I thank Him for giving me the ability to do something I love.
Follow me on this journey!
Thanks for watching
Enjoy!

Hey guys! We have a launch date for the course we are going to make. We are shooting for July 1st. We want you to be apart of it. So here is my question I have for you that will really help us out. What most frustrates you with knife making? Let me know in the comments below. Thanks

[@stanislavstrecker7476]

Hand sanding i guess. I dont know if im just inexperienced.. but it takes days of hand sanding, just going from 120 to 400 grit.. Sandpaper is just dull after 2 passes.. wtf. Any recommendations?

[@rossmoffett1342]

Beveling, mostly, and then, of course, the dreaded hand sanding.

[@dr.alkill5186]

For me its grinding traight bevels and the fitup of the guard and pomel

[@lsubslimed]

Not having 220v power or a surface grinder.... or the ingenuity and know how in order jerry rig random tools I could use and also not knowing how to wire up random electronics 😁. Sorry, I know I'm not being helpful here lol. Is the course you're having going to be via KZbin or an in person class at help a pr your shop?

[@grubkiller4616]

Fit and finish and also the whole “you’re so stupid you don’t know what you don’t know” parts of knife making I know that doesn’t narrow it down but that’s kinda the conundrum ain’t it

[@jeffreyoldham55]

The results of your efforts on this blade is nothing short of remarkable. Masterful work, Kyle.

[@professionalidiots101]

Oh my gosh!!!! That is out of this world!!! I'm simply gob smacked... I'm sharing this with people who aren't even into this stuff. Mate you are awesome!! 👏👏👏👏

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Thanks ~Team Royer

[@dougbish1728]

Gorgeous. Also, every time you do your bye bye wave it cracks me up.

[@michaelharrison8036]

What could be better than to work at your favorite job all day ( making knives and swords) surrounded by lush, green, verdant farmland? Green with envy! Haha!

[@jaehallett3743]

2 presents ideas to give Mr. Royer: A Portable Paper Towel holder: Easy to move and keeps them clean when it is set down. A set of Funnels: for pouring the Coffee, Acids. and anything else we did not see being poured.

[@Dezy92]

The finish look on that blade is absolutely amazing! My jaw literally dropped when i saw it. I can only dream of having your level of skill...

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Thanks! ~Team Royer

[@schmiggachad8289]

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Thank you!! ~Team Royer

[@sambaggins2798]

Equal parts master bladesmith and artist. Incredible work! Blows me away every time I see your work.

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Thanks my friend. Glad you’re here on this journey together with us Sam . Dad

[@chandlerevans3645]

I've only made knifes out of sheet metal due to living in the suburbs in Missouri and I don't want to get complaints from our neighbors due to loud hammering. Although me and a friend are making a forge and he lives up in Branson away from a lot of people, so hopefully I can start some forging soon. I can't wait 😁. I also make rings 👍

[@eddiebhoy6754]

Wow the pattern is awesome and the whole look of this is special. Honestly Kyle some of your work is beyond description. Beautiful

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Thanks! ~Team Royer

[@user-uu3rs9gk1r]

perfect beautiful

[@robertbailey8299]

Just when I thought I've seen the best , you make another, you have mad skills and thanks for sharing

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Thanks Robert Glad you enjoy the vids Kyle

[@rickodonnell2243]

I did the youtube muratic acid to feric acid with steel wool time and hydrogen peroxide. It worked... but i think some of the acid was still not completely transfered over. In the end I bought some feric LOL. I think a good vid on differnt acids and what effects would do well!

[@j.a.mcbean.4043]

Great job

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Hey thanks Doc. We have another spectacular sword build coming up next. Cheers from the Ozarks 👍🏻🔥☕️🗡 Dad

[@lsubslimed]

Wow, that is truly incredible. I still can't get over how great that coffee etch works, sooo purdy! Btw, what is a sunshine cloth you were using to polish the 15n20, not sure I've ever heard that term/name before. Thanks for sharing!!

[@ryanpearson3337]

I think the most frustrating part for me with knife making is the sculpted handles.

[@kevincolwell9575]

kyle - you can just buy the salt (ferric chloride) and dissolve it yourself. It works well, and its cheaper to get it delivered.

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Hey kevin Could you send a link for that Thanks Dad

[@kevincolwell9575]

@@KyleRoyerKnives www.amazon.com/Printed-Circuit-Etchant-Powder-Space-Saver/dp/B00WSBAODM/ref=sr_1_8?hvadid=77790489817642&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvqmt=e&keywords=ferric+chloride+crystals&qid=1569060458&s=gateway&sr=8-8 You may be able to get it cheaper. This is Amazon's product set.

[@ians1464]

That would be would be so nerve-racking so many things can go wrong like dropping it. So you finished the Etch in coffee to darken it how strong

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Hey Ian Good question We use Nescafé Clasico dark roast 7 ounce instant coffee all of it poured in with 1/2 gallon water. We etch room temp,but when we first pour the coffee into the water we use warm water to make sure that it mixes well. Team Royer

[@myndbombjt]

Hot damn that's pretty.

[@eagle___shadow]

Hello from java 🙂

[@KageStelhman]

@KyleRoyerKnives Just so you know that Ferric Chloride is made from Chlorine and either Iron Shavings Rusted Nails or Forge Scale... I think about 1 part Iron Oxide to 50 parts Chlorine (or is it 20oz of Iron Oxide to 2 gallons of Chlorine and however much water you cut it with)

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Thanks John TEAM ROYER

[@wendel5868]

Dang

[@rize53hakanturan2]

cok guzel

Teşekkür ederim! ~ Royer Takımı

[@kennethbush2299]

I need some advice on reforgeing a katana that was burned in a fire .

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Yikes Kenneth That will require some detailed research Merry Christmas Team Royer

[@straycat1674]

How much would this cost to commission, but with the gold cord wrap for the handle?

[@jacobsmothers9352]

Muriatic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and iron oxide is how I make ferric chloride

[@philipdunn7538]

Do the oxides that form from etching, retard the etching process?

[@buzzcutt6463]

Handling acid without glasses.....thumbs down master smith
