Making A Shotgun Knife

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Another amazing build by dad! We are so proud of him, dad recently past his journeyman Smith performance test, now he will be testing at BLADESHOW this June to find out if he is worthy of the JS stamp (he totally is imo.) -Josh

Funny before reading the comments I was going to ask when dad was gonna go for his JS. Totally agree he has reached JS quality.

je trouve le motif du damas magnifique autant original, et comme d'habitude, le soin apporté aux détails est juste stupéfiant.

Wow, what a result! Bet it was hard saying good bye to a knife you’ve worked so hard on for so long. Absolutely stunning.

[@Bbop78]

Totally blown away at the attention to detail, skill and artistry involved in the making of the blade. Being such a beautiful and intricate creation, I was left wishing we had a bit more than the 60 seconds given to admire the finished piece, especially after the journey of the build. The final result was truly stunning!

No one like you brother. Forget about all of those titles. You are the master of the forge. Thank you for sharing your work.

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Hey thanks my friend. Dad

[@Gmuc72]

This has got to be literally the most beautiful knife I have ever seen. I swear it's the handle and guard that really makes it stand a head above the rest. I can't wait to see what he does next.

[@Athazago]

The mythical ability of a blacksmith isn't just the ability to create a piece of art. It is the ability to recreate this piece of art down to a tee. And yet... it stays mythical for it always being a one of a kind knife of which none other exists quite like this. Even if built the same way, the pattern is always a new sight to behold. Love it so much, you have no idea how much I'd love owning one of those just to have it on display.

[@spuggD]

Your family craftsmanship is next level. So nice!

[@Chance-ry1hq]

There are craftsmen, and then there are these guys. Incredible work as usual gentlemen.

[@RedBeardOps]

Sir, this is a masterpiece. Thank you for sharing the process! The checkering on the handle is so cool...

[@olufagosebambulagose]

My jaw dropped when he said "My entire 3-year career". Your craftsmanship is literally one of the highest level, absolute perfection, and the attention to detail is unmatched. Your knives are a work of art and a marvel. To learn that you've got to making some of the most beautiful knives I have ever seen in just 3 years shows the scale of your talent.

[@j_edwards6075]

Congratulations Royer Dad! That turned out beautifully. Have very much enjoyed seeing your progress from beginner to master craftsman over the last few years. I recently finished making my most detailed bowie knife to date and this completely blows it out of the water. The level of intricacy is fantastic mate.

Hey thanks Joseph

[@plewes6709]

One of the coolest ideas for a knife i have evr seen in my 51 years i love how you have incorporated the ventalated barrel at the top of the blade down to the finish on the handle just like the stock on a beautiful shotgun . The piece is stunning and every aspect of that knife is pure perfection , i dont know how you parted with it as a piece of you must of left with it to the customer! i love this channel and enjoying every second of your videos, you guys are masters of your art but even that doesnt sound like praise enough your work commands . I am totally blown away by the work done by you both!

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Hey thanks PLE. Funny story about the vented rib. I originally wasn’t going to do it because of the extensive research and execution,then Kyle said are you going to put vented rids on the spine. And of course the answer to my master was yes Kyle. Kyle is very hard to keep up with. He stretches me frequently. Good times my friend Keep Forging On Dad

So I thought of this idea about 8 months ago. Thought about making it my "signature knife" once I start my own forge. Now people will think I stole it from you lol!! But it's also a good sign that such a great Smith had a similar idea, it reinforces that my ideas ARE good ideas! And you pulled it off BEAUTIFULLY, even better than I pictured it!! This was a very motivating video!! Thank you!!

Machinist and knifemaker here. You mill and do any rough shaping BEFORE you harden. Soft steel is much easier to shape with a mill or lathe than hardened steel. Props on the welding of all the seams to keep air out. Very good principle when forge welding. Keep up the good work!

[@chadpatterson9163]

For medical instruments made from Carpenter Custom 630, 17-4 Ph 900 we would flood our heat treat furnace with nitrogen. Tank of gas with a regulator and a piece of copper or SS tube into the chimney. The formal way to do this was a vacuum HT oven, but these things are expensive. We would get the parts out with no scale (brownish/blackish) and if there were sharpened edges, they remained sharp. Love your work, it is fantastic!

What a beautiful knife, you can tell that the time it took you to make this, by looking at the attention to detail and quality of the finish and forging. The talent in this family... it's incredible and everyone who owns a Royer knife, holds a work of art in their possession. What i also love here is the reversed dynamic of a wonderful dad following in his son's footsteps, instead of son following dad's footsteps (nothing wrong with that tho!). And looking beyond that, it's pretty clear to me that this is a loving and tight family who are proud of each other and stand together as one. Congrats to your dad for passing his journeyman test, and i am certain he is well on his way to earn that MS badge too.
