Will This Dagger Keal? (Serenity Pt. 5)

Join our newsletter to find out how Kyle, as a homeschooled kid went from chasing goats to making the knives he makes today. www.learnknife...
We are about to shape this dagger into an actual dagger-looking blade. We start with the Damascus all finished and the blood groove milled in. This video will be a lot of 2x72 belt grinding. Once we put a pocky tip on the serenity dagger, we will test this blade and see if it will “KEAL”.

That extremely subtle "SUBSCRIBE" on the belt of the belt grinder was fucking genius

[@SEFullmetalJake]

That grinding segment around the 3:30 mark is a work of art, the camera work and music work so well. Great editing!

[@anthonyp4209]

Can we take a moment and appreciate how entertaining these videos are as well as informative. Kyle and company always seem to have such a great energy and attitude and it's great to see.

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

I appreciate that!

[@soonerfrac4611]

It might have been cool to have put the makers mark inside the fuller! But that’d also require more sanding afterwards unfortunately.

[@adrianedlington2493]

These videos are entertaining and cathartic. I find them really relaxing.

[@VickyShawcooksalot]

Thanks to his parents homeschooling him and his siblings. Best way to educate at home is to find their passion and use it to teach. Listen to his math. And his brother? Look at the video work. Again math, and art. Yep I can see the lessons forming in my head. Though I think in the last few years everyone has had a taste of homeschoolimg. 😂

[@truthbetold7718]

You should try your own forged in fire competition with your family. Same formula from the show. I think it would be interesting to see how everyone handles the pressure.

[@beezo2560]

The blade is coming along great. Such precision. The video work is impressive as well. Way to go Josh. Good luck on your knives Dad. Go Team Royer!

[@hisroyalpimpnesssirisaacal7044]

Master Royer! You always deliver! ⚔️💯

[@samsham8218]

Coming along BEAUTIFULLY!

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

That subliminal "Subscribe" on the belt is genius! 👍🏻

[@suncu91]

I love how this guy has mythical knifemaking skills. If he made these blades in ancient Greece, he would be proclaimed a deity. And yet he can still be a goofball and play around. Knowing that makes me happy.

[@coltonlott3272]

It’s always a good day when Kyle posts

[@andrewpeters5907]

Loved the subtle “subscribe” on the back of the sanding belt

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Hey thanks

[@rymnzz]

series getting more and more exciting... loved the father/son quality time...

[@frankierzucekjr]

It was great to see you and your family having fun testing it out. It's looking so cool, I can't wait to see what do with this. Great work bud

[@michaelharrison8036]

I like the fact that you pencilled in the word "subscribe" on your 2"X 72" belt grinder belt! Only one of the newer-model chip cameras could have picked that up!

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Hey thanks. Josh did a great job

[@jeffreyoldham55]

I'm relatively certain that I've never seen a ricasso bisected by a fuller before. I was skeptical at first, but am growing more intrigued as you progress.

[@RedmarKerkhof]

The little heel kick at 14:01 ^^

[@danthemakerman]

Its looking so good! When you hold the dagger blade side down and film from below the ricasso and fuller look like the Mandalorian's helmet.

[@davelewis6093]

All ways look forward to your videos THANKS!

[@ArmouryTerrain]

The distal taper on this blade is looking good, and once you have a hilt you should be able to penetrate many things.

[@Arco3254]

Nice Sub in the sanding belt!!

[@outbackladas]

Very skillfully done, looks great 👍 Regards from Down Under.

[@ZakDub]

4:54 Kyle, it’s super awesome to hear you were homeschooled. My wife and I are homeschooling our 3 children. So neat to see how incredibly beneficial it is and how the children get way more schooling. Not to mention how efficient it is allowing for more extra curricular activities, like forging 😉. Oh yeah and our children get learn about Jesus, not Drag Queens and Trannies.

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Absolutely Zachary. We schooled four children at home. Three of them were self employed in their mid to late teens. It’s expensive financially and time wise but most definitely worth it. I’m still waiting for a refund on all that government school tax money that did not prosper my family. We are in your corner my friend. Slow the roll and enjoy your family. Be good to the momma. They are incredible. May God bless you and your crew my friend. Dad

[@ZakDub]

@@KyleRoyerKnives thank you for the reply and encouragement :-). Yes, we are hoping someday the laws change where homeschool families get some of that state funding. Even if we don’t get to benefit from it directly I hope families that choose this path get to in the future. Keep up the good work and may God bless you all as well.

[@tonycabrini5488]

Mr ROYER. Like I always said you are one of the best M S Precise ,Clean ,best material and…. Again God bless you and your family. Good luck

[@stephenjohnson6841]

It's coming along great! Good luck on your journeyman blades Dad Royer!

Kyle doesn't do coffee-breaks,he's just coffee-darkening his insides!

Copy copy coffee

[@chewyakarieckenicholas6049]

I have to say that I like how you put subscribe on your grinder belt subtle idea and a little subliminal influence good job and that is dagger is starting to look awesome can't wait to see it finished

[@forerunner75]

Once again, an awesome video. I found your channel while wandering on KZbin but hey, I'm so glad I found it ! May the forge be with you too,!

[@leeedwards9043]

brilliant mate just right amount of crazy 🤣🤣could watch all day 😎👍bring on the nxt video.

[@aliver8794]

That subscribe on the grinding belt 🤣👍👍

[@christobaliancantu7112]

Thank you for another bad ass video! Can't wait for the etching video! Y'all be safe and have a blessed day ☺

[@rgillespiefs]

Love the "subscribe" on the inside of the belt.

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Hey thanks my friend Dad

[@ultramarinus2478]

Was thinking, if you can make a dagger or big bilatelar knife, wich would be attachable to a staff, to serve as a spear with that connection. Probably some combination of screw/bayonet and a safe-knob, should do the trick. Another point - would LOVE to see luxurious damascus kukri knife/machete from your forge.

[@c.k.677]

Haha the belt has subscribe written on it, I love that

[@ImTheReal]

Bunny is undefeatable!

[@TheGrandDude]

I had to like the video. The “subscribed” on the back of the belts is awesome!

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Hey thanks

[@BoxJockey]

Probably using the wrong words, but where the fuller goes into the riccaso, the curves coming in from the edges of the blade look soooo noice!! :D 12:30

[@toddsmash]

Another Great Upload Kyle. Thank you for the super entertaining and educational content!

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

👍🏻☕️🔥⚔️

[@antiquebowieknifechannel4611]

Looking good Kyle

[@oneshotme]

Looking good!! Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Thanks for the 👍🏻

[@kzarnold3678]

Nicely done

[@briannunnenkamp2254]

Writing "Subscribe" on the back of the sander belt was a really cool idea. lol

[@kevinknight195]

Looks great like how you did the fuller, makes for a smooth transition.

[@Joe___R]

I would have put the maker's mark in the fuller just above where the guard will be.

[@gykie-poo]

Just noticed that subtle "subscribe" on the inside of the belt on that belt sander. Pretty cool to see that when the speed of the belt closely matches the camera's frame rate Edit: around 40 seconds in

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

🏆

[@IHWKR]

Good catch. I was looking around so hard it was giving me anxiety. Really wanted to find it first but missed it although I think subconsciously I noticed the interior belt was dirtier than normal, I didn't realize why.

[@gykie-poo]

@IHWKR That's exactly what I thought at first about being dirty, then I looked closer and paused the video lol

[@richardturk7162]

Looks outstanding.

[@animal_engineering]

ha ha ha your dad running for the fence when he drops in the mentos. Also pretty sneaky little subscribe thing you have going on the back of your belt there, well played. awesome episode as always.

[@truthbetold7718]

Kyle got way too hyped chopping Thanos in half, I loved it haha

[@Viktor_Johansson]

Super sweet edge bevels!

[@willardjames2685]

You coming to Blade Show Texas?

[@IHWKR]

Of course it's gunna Keal, it's a K Royer master Smith knife! I'm curious as to what case hardened damascus looks like. Maybe for an experiment video??

[@johnsnoek9112]

Damn Subliminal advert, the dog jumped up and attacked the keyboard!

[@Red-ding-Ton]

0:28 Subscribe logo on the belt hahaha

[@urielpena585]

Such a good thumbnail, haha

[@garyj2101]

Kyle Are you going to the blade show in Fort Worth, Texas March 17th & 18th?

[@mst3kfan13]

Kyle. Would it distort your pattern that much to forge out the bevels to say 75% of the finished product over grinding all of that metal off?

[@michaelshorten7273]

The subscribe on the back of the grinding... paper(?) made me laugh Grinding belt?

[@sportyv1k1ng]

neat gimmick on your sander belt...😉

[@Sharkdog11b]

Thy belt bubble has really messed up allot of my blades

[@ronror]

From about 2:30 to 4:00, the video doesn't seem to have rendered correctly? Especially the very black parts are spotty... Great video (and knife) as always tho!

[@GlennInLaguna]

5:54 couldn’t that arch in the belt also be a product of your platen wheels being arched?

[@jaynedavies2757]

Anyone know how to find the angle of a kitchen knife for sharpening? Any YT videos on the subject please.

[@B-leafer]

Impressive you are cutting in the bevels by eye/hand, not using a milling machine and jig to hold the bevels. It takes alot of skill for that..

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

Hey thanks Jim

[@tonyohrnberg7738]

Great video.

[@jameschesterman1217]

You really should have put some sort of blade shield when you did them stabbing motions of objects on top of a solid block, be careful.

[@TacticalUniverse]

I've been trying to think of who you remind me of for quite some time and I've come to think its Billy Corgan from Smashing Pumpkins. (And no, it's not the hair.)

[@jaromirkusy9025]

rabitt killer.. nice video .. i lovit

[@fifi23o5]

Keal? I always thought it was 'keel'. But I might be wrong. Shall we ask Mr. Marcaida?

[@KyleRoyerKnives]

I was told it is Keal which stands for Keep Everyone Alive.

Never knew he was a homeschooled craftsman, I just assumed all amreicans told their children to **** off, & make your own way! Like I had to! Before my dreams were ruined by having kids! Now give me the grandchildren I'm owed! Something like that... is much more relatable, no?
