About Me
“The world needs more makers.” ~ RoyerX
Being from a family of creatives whose motto was to produce not to consume was etched into Kyle from a very early age and being educated at home gave him many opportunities to work hard at his own creative pursuits.
At eighteen, Kyle graduated high school and two weeks later received his Journeyman Smith Stamp and a rare double win of the George Peck Award and Bill Moran Award, “the 18-year-old prodigy”, “the blazing bladesmith” was what BLADE Magazine labeled him. Following that victory in November, 2009 BLADE Magazine ran a special five page spread “That Young and That Good”, the article went on to say “His ability to masterfully execute new designs, processes and artistic damascus patterns is remarkable. In spite of his young age, his fit/finish and attention to detail is representative of some of todays most known and sought after makers.” He was one of two to achieve Mastersmith by the age of twenty. His knives and his skills are highly sought after worldwide.
In the early years, if you weren’t at a knife show or a hammer-in, learning from the masters, information was hard to find, there was no online content and only a few books and videos, so it was a lot of trial and error in the knife shop. Kyle is passionate to teach makers his more than fourteen years of experience.
“The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.” We hope we can inspire you on your maker’s journey.
Thanks for watching
Enjoy!

"The world needs more makers" IMHO, I think the world needs more people that appreciate the makers. There are a lot of people that pour their heart & souls into whatever it is they make or do. So many things are overproduced & easy to buy with the click of a button, a lot of time the craftsmanship is left behind... Good luck in Australia!!! Hope all is well, take it easy...

[@dennisjohansen8490]

This is one of the greatest comments that I have read in a while and I couldn't agree more. In my experience, people appreciate your abilities until they find out how much they have to pay for said abilities.

[@gurvinderkau1e5w18]

Completely agree with Dave. He himself is one of the best knikemaker i know. 👍👍👍

[@bryanduchane2371]

You make the best pattern welded Damascus steel in the world! Not only is it beautiful, you actually predict exactly what the pattern will look like. You could make a great living seeking bullets billets of pattern welded steel at a premium to the best knife . in the World and most of them would be happy to pay you for it!!!! . I Promise
