Introducing Dad's JS Test Knife Number 1, a stunning 9.3" western-style chef knife that boasts a custom-casted copper alloy bolster and pin. The blade is crafted from 5160 steel, and the handle is made from a gorgeous stabilized and dyed red oak burl. The distressed bolster and polished domed pin have a rosy-bronze hue, adding to the knife's overall beauty. Despite its size, this knife is incredibly fast, thanks to its "S" grind and weight-reducing properties. Ideal for users, it features a comfortable, rounded spine, and its choke-up design allows for precise food sculpting.

So strange to hear a father, that is clearly very skilled, say" I've been learning from my son how to make knives" Keep the up the excellent content guys! We all look forward to the build progress and the new projects
Hey thanks my friend. Glad you are here.
Dad
And doesn't sound like a muppet.
Guessing the dad is some kind of experienced engineer or machinist who got his kid interested in fine machining in the first place. Then again. maybe not.
I love the slight taper on the handle for the fingers to wrap and grip; those details are what really make a knife special. I love all Royer tutorials, but yours are extra peaceful, Dad Royer.
Hey thanks Alex. Glad you are here my friend
Dad
I can listen to this before going to sleep, the warm soothing voice and calm background music make it perfect to mellow down.
Spectacular my friend. Chill on!!!
Dad
This video as well as all of your guys' videos, shows the importance of relentless attention to every single detail when making truely masterpiece level cutlery
Thanks my friend
Dad
I admire how clean and organized your work area is.
Each component of this knife is fine on its own, but they all come together to make a superb looking knife. The patina on the copper alloy is interesting. Nice build!
Hey thanks jim. Cheers.
Dad
Fantastic piece... and the commentary was so good. You Royers are very good teachers. I appreciate the effort that goes into your videos!
Hey thanks my friend.
Dad
That's a beautiful knife Jeff. Loved watching you make it. Your skills have increased exponentially in the last year.
Hey thanks BeeZo. Flame on my friend
Dad
That's a beautiful knife, Mr. Royer. I sure enjoyed watching you make it. Thanks for sharing.
Hey thanks Sam. Good to hear from you my friend.
Dad
The attention to detail in both of yalls work is amazing. 👍👍👍
👍🏻☕️🔥⚔️
I really like the sentiment at the end. Just get out there and try it. Mistakes will happen, but keep moving forward.
Thanks for taking me along Father Royer. It's a beauty sir!
Thanks J. M. K.
Dad
With the dark handle and the clean lines on the shiny blade that knife looks just super elegant. Nice job.
Hey thanks Bernard. Glad you are here hanging out with us
Dad
@@KyleRoyerKnives Always a pleasure
Nicely done. I really enjoyed the whole process 😃
I wholeheartedly recommend some form of breathing protection when grinding steel like that. A half mask with the highest grade for dust protection should go from around 50-100 dollars. There are also more expensive full masks. I know Alec Steele uses a full mask with like, its own air system where it sends fresh air into his mask. Breathing in all that metal dust can cause severe problems over time that will affect your ability to work and may result in a trip to the hospital that puts you in medical debt. Stay safe everyone!
Wow I love that clean look. Easy to clean and that handle is beautiful 🤩
Hey thanks my friend
Beautiful, I first learned about the museum fit from watching Kyle it really elevates the piece.
Hey thanks Dan
Dad
Amazing artist. The attention to detail is second to none. Truly amazing work. You can see where Kyle learned it from.
Kyle is actually teaching his dad, not the other way around.
Hey thanks Roman. Kyle is my master I’m an apprentice. Chao.
Dad
Showing the work, love that. excelent content.
Awesome build!
Really nice job. Thanks for taking us along 👍.
Thanks. Glad you are enjoying the vids my friend.
Dad
Beautiful !!!👏👏👏
Congrats again! Better every time! How I wish I had a Dad like you...
Hey thanks Ricardo. Glad you are here. We are in your corner my friend.
Dad
Same here dad… I absolutely hate a loose handle fit… I tend not to bed in epoxy like Kyle does but prefer the hole itself to be snug all the way through…. I just made like 4 broaches of a different sizes and go slowly
I'm a big fan of your shotgun knife! when i previewed the video in my feed, i didnt realize it was a royer build at first, but the geometry of the blade really caught my eye. i love how you shaped everything, and the handle especially looks really comfortable
Hey thanks Zero.
Dad
always a treat when its a Dad video... thanks as always!!
Hey thanks my friend. Glad you are here
Dad
@KyleRoyerKnives never regret my knifemaker plus subscription. Hoping to make it to blade show this year, fingers crossed
Very nice Jeff. I really like your kitchen cutlery.
Hey thanks Dean. Flame on my friend
Dad
A chill dad knife video for a chill Friday Afternoon...nice
Chill on my friend ☕️🔥👍🏻
Dad
Relaxing, this is very relaxing. Also good knife. But very relaxing to listen to.
Hey thanks my friend.
Dad
Jess jeff you make great knifes. I loved the colour scene on this one. I am anxiously waiting for kyles attempt at damascening. I BET MY LEFT BUTTCHEEK that hes probably practicing this a lot
Great work. Your chef knife is very well thought out. I cannot tell you how many cheap chef knives I’ve used where there is no place for your index finger and the back edge of the knife is sharp!!
Hey thanks my friend
Dad
I always learn something sir! Thank you
Good to hear from you my friend. Thanks. See you at BLADE.
Dad
Beautiful!!
Hey thanks my friend.
Dad
Somehow I missed Pt1 and 2, so I'm going to binge-watch them now.
Dad Royer you are doing an amazing job building kitchen knives keep up the great work
Thanks chewy.
Dad
Beautiful knife, awesome video! Great Work!
Hey thanks my friend
Dad
Hey dad, love the look of that distressed copper alloy, very nice.
Really good looking piece.
Hey thanks Grant. Keep Forging On my friend
Dad
Good job Pop's!
Great s grind. really nice and clean build.
Hey thanks my friend
Dad
I love your channel. Thank you for the new video 😊
Hey thanks Random Guy. Glad you are hanging out with us.
Dad
Beautiful knife, Kyle
Hey thanks mark. Kyle’s dad built this one. Flame on my friend.
Dad
Thats a really beautiful knife i think i need to get me one
Man you all are satill doing it.i remember you doing stuff in the kitchen.before you all went too japan or china.keep upnthe good work
Hey thanks devin.
Dad
Dad's killing it lately!
😎 👍🏼that's interesting and cool , not often do you hear or see the parent say that they are the student and the child is the teacher and master
Copy copy my friend
Dad
Woo-hoo! 1,000th like! You are a talented family. Hope to shake your hands in Atlanta in June!
Hey thanks. Make sure you stop at our table 1-S. We can do a coffee break. Chao.
Dad
Love this build! Also, thank you for the reminder to get off my backside and finish making 14 platen.
Hey thanks. I’m finishing my spine at around.150”-.180” on a 1.7”-2.25”. And my convex is about.38” up from the blade.
That leaves plenty of material in the center of the S grind. Be sure to check the center if you’re not sure. I’ve had at the thinnest.040 in the center. That’s at the edge of my current comfort zone. Keep Forging On my friend.
Dad
@KyleRoyerKnives hey! Thanks! I appreciate the data, I will keep it mind.
Thanks Dad.
Hey Mr. Royer, if this is one of your journey man test knives you've got it in the bag. Looking forward to seeing a special video after you pass the test. 🤞
Hey thanks my friend
Dad
This is an incredible video 😃😃
Hey thanks my friend
Dad
Nicely done 👍
👍🏻☕️🔥⚔️
Damascus always look gorgeous but a reg blade can be beautiful also. Good job!!
Copy copy my friend. This is one of my five ABS presentation knives. I’m only allowed to use a single carbon steel.
Flame on my friend
Dad
Have you ever finished a handle with a true shellac finish? The wood you use is so beautiful the shellac flakes would really give it a premium look to it. It is not as hard wearing as other finishes but it can be covered with linseed oil which itself would further set off the shellac. Just a thought. Awesome work as usual. Rock on.
Hey thanks Rafael. Not yet.
Dad
Go, Dad, go!
Hey thanks Chris. Feeling the love my friend.
Dad
DANG IT, I THOUGHT IT WAS THE STONE HANDLE EPISODE, BUT FINE!! I'LL WATCH
Glad you are here hanging out with us all my friend
Dad
o talento vem de familia
Grazie my friend
Dad
what was the sharpener you guys used at the end?
It’s a beauty
You don't have to be modest we all know you taught your son everything he knows 👍 awesome job
Hey thanks Richard. Kyle is my master teacher. I’m an apprentice. Testing at BLADE Atlanta this year for my journeyman smith certification in the American Bladesmith Society. Keep Forging On my friend
Dad
love the videos!
Hey thanks Jetta
Dad
So good ....Ahhh I love ❤️
Feeling the love my friend
Dad
Where do you buy them long drill bits at?
if i had an after hours club or like a kava bar, i'd have Papa Royer's stuff playing on loop in the background lol...
Very nice. Thanks my friend.
Dad
A beautiful knife and a very pleasant voice, do you also make audiobooks?😊
Hey thanks my friend. No but I listen to a lot of them. Flame on
Dad
Really nice built! How did you get the ends of the hollow grind so clean? I'm currently experimenting with that but I don't get them as clean.
Good question senshi. I take all of my grits up to the sharpie mark. Then on my final grit I gently start a soft blending while checking each side. A second set of lines helps to not to over grind. Hope this helps. I’m more accessible on IG at Royercutlery. You can reach out there also. Keep Forging On my friend.
Dad
Высокое искусство!
Hey thanks my friend. Chao.
Dad
Good awark man
A plunge?? Mmmmm nice… giving more meat in the ricasso.. thinner grind and still super sturdy but I’ve not considered a plunge line until I saw this…. Interesting (stealing that, sorry). Beautiful knife dad…. I think you and Kyle should do a knife off challenge… both make the same design and let’s see
I wonder if it might be time for Dad to get his own CZcams channel?
Hey thanks. I’m the comic relief.
Flame on my friend
Dad
@@KyleRoyerKnives I hope my comment didn't come off as a negative comment or a dig... it wasn't intended that way at all.
Beautiful knife, love that s grind and the distressed look on that bolster is really cool. Nice work, brother!
Hey thanks David. Flame on my friend
Dad
What's the reason they don't use induction coils for forging instead of propane?
8:10 "This is my custom copper alloy bronze" What exactly is that material that you'r3 using? Looks nice!
I misspoke it’s copper alloy. It has a bronzy hue. It’s copper mixed with range brass. Good question my friend. Cheers
Dad
@@KyleRoyerKnives Thank you. Such a beautiful job Sir
How much would a knife like this cost? Beautiful work!
Hey Poppa you can contact me at jeff@royercutlery.com for availability and pricing.
Thanks
Custom alloy = Roymascus!!!!!!!! I want to buy some alloy… do you sell it??
Ok so like all the families work it is absolutely beautiful
My only thing is …..🤔
Why the fighter style handle ,
Me being a big nobody sure ain’t no pro kitchen blade maker but I’m asking for a friend 😊😅
Hey thanks James. Let your friend know that this handle is very universal because of its ergonomics and with kitchen cutlery it’s a great profile for choking up a pinching the blade for quick delicate chopping. Let your friend know that’s a great question. Let him know we appreciate him hanging out with us 😜👍🏻🤭
Keep Forging On my friend.
Dad
@@KyleRoyerKnives 😉
so being kinda new to knifemaking, ive been absorbing information and asking questions on all kinds of things. it seems that the general consensus (from many different sources) on 5160 is that its not the greatest steel for knives, so im just curious as to why 5160 was the steel of choice for this build, compared to something like 1084/15N20/1095/damascus etc., and if im mistaken on 5160 being a not so good knife steel. ive used it for knives when i started and they didnt hold as good an edge as the 80CrV2 steel i use now.
also i make hunting/bushcraft knives, and if anyone has info on what steel they recommend for that id appreciate the help.
Great question Ian. 5160 is a tried and true faithful steel. It’s one of the most diversified alloy steels easily available. Properly heat treated and a proper geometry on the blade for it’s intended use it’s a great choice. Our steel is certified. Bone yard steel may have proprietary mystery alloys that may not make a proper knife. There are a large range of heat treat recipes for 5160. And apex geometry. Definitely go with what you can get and what works for you. You are in a good place if you are finding you have preferences. Keep Forging On my friend.
Dad
Still "cooking" Brother! Thanx, J
Hey thanks Jaycee.
Dad
How much is a knife like this?
Which country...

Dad
kife verry good you
Hey you How much?
A thing of beauty
What would a knife like this cost if you were selling it?

Are you back logged for making Chef knife
Amazing knife J Royer your son taught you well 😊😎
Hey thanks my friend.
Dad
The tree doesn't grow far from the apple.
Copy copy. Thanks my friend
Dad
О...уенный нож !!!
Giv for me
Слишком толстый обух такой нож будет ломать, а не резать продукты и тяжелый для постоянной работы
I can understand how you may think so however the S grind makes this knife very front light and nimble. Very fast blade. Glad you are here hanging out with us my friend.
Dad
Great knife kreation again, but why is everybody using this background music that is out of tune / out of phase? It is horrible and distracts
Jeff Royer.....thats a weird way to pronounce "dad".
When we first started going to knife shows with Kyle when he was in his mid-teens I was known as Kyle‘s dad in my wife is known as Kyle‘s mom and all the brothers and sister were known as Kyle‘s brothers and sisters. And we kept going to the knife shows over the years and it was always Kyle‘s dad so I just start going by dad. I love it.
Dad
dads more elegant
Grazie my friend. You are too kind. Chao.
Dad
This is awesome!
Hey thanks Tom
Dad
