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!

three things I have learn from his course. (1) I'm so far away from being able to make my knife as perfect as his. (that is why I have the course.
(2) It is possibly to make these quality Knives over time. (Hopefully before I turn 80, 13 years from now)
(3) I have already improved on making some of my other knives on parts I had trouble with before.
If you are serious about making museum quality knives to sell this is a must course. It will put you more on the fast track. Plus many things I already knew but not to the level he teaches.
Thanks Kyle.
Wow! Thank you so much! I read your comment to the whole Team here at RoyerX, we all very much appreciate what you said! You are very encouraging to us!
@@KyleRoyerKnives It is called a knife but it is really art. This just like today's handmade katanas & other Japanese
blades *"starting"* at $6,000 USD this blade can not be used. Using destroys the value - just as if you bought a
$10,000 USD painting and put your finger through it by accident (like Steve Wynn did to one of his paintings in
Las Vegas due to his poor eyesight).
BUT I like that a video is made on your knives *KyleRoyerKnives,* they will be placed next to the *Aston Martin* in my
book of wishes that will never be granted BUT they will be admired from afar.
*EDIT:* Go KC Chiefs!!
@@sweetcostarica or you know the nice european blades as well.
@@manufacturedfracture Oh, yes. Just about everyone makes these type of very expensive knife art, sword art, you name it that are for conversation and not using. NOT JUDGING just an observation.
About the knife in question, *_The Hunter Knife._* Real hunter knives like the ones I seen/used in Alaska are around $35 USD & get nicked, scratched, & bloody.
SO MY COMMENT IS
"Thats not a knife, this is a knife," in other words saying something is a knife and making it prefect, the highest quality, and
expensive is fine. But I prefer real art like paintings, rings, vases, etc. So just like Elvis Presley's *$65,000,* 1960 Gold Callillac covered in 40 coats of paint, called “diamond dust pearl,” that is made of crushed diamonds and fish scales. Which had 24-karat gold plate highlights and trim -
I think I will stick to using real knives & regular cars and buy paintings for $100 USD or so dollars and be happier.
@@sweetcostarica Or you could try and make it yourself, then you probably wouldn't mind using it.
I want to see Kyle make his version of a katana
Yes I would love that too.
Yes I would love that too.
I want to see that too.
I agree to that.
I love to see his take on one as well. Have yet to seen him polish out a hamon on his channel.
That may be the most beautiful knife I've ever seen...
The best knife I've seen in my 42 years. Normally I'm not a fan of bone or antler but with that black and gold it looks absolutely amazing. Great job!
Thanks Joshua
Glad you’re here with us all
Team Royer
Next: "Ok, gentlemen, welcome to the strength test. In this test i will be chopping and stabbin this concrete wall with your hunter knives. Are you ready?"
Git’r done
👍🏻☕️🔥⚔️
I really like that the blade isn't glued to the handle frame..
Congratulations that is one of the best builds I've ever seen. It isnt over the top, what it does is address each point of a build and with taste. Beautiful !!!
"A new knife smells like green masking tape" - Love it. As always amazing work - thanks for bringing us along on your project!
Wow!
Each part of this artful knife is done with perfection.
One of my favorite knives I’ve ever seen.
Hey thanks Scott
Kyle
I can’t get over how good you are. There must be no one better. Thanks for sharing your gift.
imagine kyle on forged in fire lol. would love to see you test one of your blades forged in fire style
He would need a whole season worth of forging time just for a pommel nut.
Kyle would be the one judging on forged and fire!! 🔥💪🏼👍
5 minutes left and Kyle is still working on his design... COME ON KYLE!!!
you guys not see kyle's christmas coal forging?
He would never finish a blade on time. He is far too malicious for that show.
Just one word - “BEAUTIFUL”!!!! Thank you for sharing you work!
Been waiting for this series to finish. Now I can binge everything in one afternoon. 🤣 Love the work dude!
Thanks Theodore
Binge watch until the screen blows up!!!
We encourage such good behavior 👍🏻🤪☕️
Dad
I have nothing to do with forging or smithing, but i absolutely love these videos. The quality of your works are just simply out of this world! Amazing job! It motivates me on my field of interest to improve.
This is absolutely the most beautiful knife I have ever seen.
Lmbo when mom got in her" bye bye".
Beautiful work as always sir. The way those fittings snap together so crisply... *wipes droolz*
Thanks Doug
Kyle
Absolutely beautiful work, as always Kyle. My wife supports my hobby in 'trying' to make knives but really has no other interests in bladesmithing. Well, that was the case until I started showing her your work. Now she sends me pics and videos of your knives! I am going to talk with her and see if she will let me take your class on-line. Thanks for what you do; it's a lot more than just making a beautiful knife or sword, its inspirational and motivating.
That is really cool that your wife supports you with your knifemaking journey. Thank you for the inspirational words, it is very encouraging to me! On February 1st to February 7th we will be running an amazing sale on our course. Be sure to get on our email list so we can let you know.

Hey Wayne
Sounds like you got a great gal.
That’s pretty neat
Dad
WOW! Even the reflection of the gold inlay on the table is amazing! Work of Art!
Thanks Pepe
Kyle
Alright... let me set the scene here.
It's nicely warm here and still...
Goosebumps from head to toes in awe over this knife. By far the most beautiful knife i've ever seen.
Seriously Kyle!!! The dark parts with the light ivory does look absolutely stunning!! Another masterpiece!!
I love how you can hear the sound of coffee brewing in the background when he's etching the knife
But more importantly, damn what beautiful craftsmanship
I can appreciate the time you spend on the detail of your work . All knives are NOT created equal !
@2:10 You're killing me with that file, Kyle! 😁. The knife is so elegant, it almost makes me think of what an angel's wing (feather) would look like lol. I can't wait to see Caleb's photo of the full knife as well, to be able to really appreciate it. So cool! Thanks for sharing guys! Always looking forward to what comes next :)
Man your happiness about these last few blades is infectious. Great job brother watching your videos is like looking into the future I’ve always envisioned for myself. Great work!
Thanks Michael
You keep digging
Do life with intent
Thanks for the shout out
God bless you
Dad
Every little detail about this piece is flawless. One of the most impressive and mesmerizing pieces I've ever seen. Unreal quality Kyle. Truly a very high quality piece, possibly heirloom quality. If I owned that, it'd just sit on a shelf displayed with how beautiful it is.
Thanks Andy
Team Royer
@@KyleRoyerKnives You're welcome. Keep making epic shit like this.
As a cancer patient and living day to day I find enjoyment seeing a person put their heart and soul into their work. My only regret is not being able to lay my eyes on it. Kyle God Bess and keep living your dream.
Hey thanks my friend. Continue to be an encouragement to those you are around. Not missing any moment to be a blessing just as our Lord does unto us. And a double dose of that back on me. Merry Christmas and happy new year my friend
Dad
Again an absolutely beautiful knife from the master! I wish I could afford to buy a knife like that; I can't lol, but I CAN watch how you make them and the level of craftsmanship you put into them. Brilliant. 👍👍👍
I to pine over his knives but I've come to believe that being able to watch him work is priceless... Imagine say Michelangelo with a chisel, hammer beating at a chunk of marble.
Thanks J
Good to have you hanging out with us all
Team Royer
That's the most beautiful knife I've seen in my life. Congratulations, nice work
Your videos are incredibly relaxing to watch, and man the finished pieces are probably the most beautiful, sharp works of art I've seen made. Really nice work.
Thanks LilGoku. Glad you’re enjoying the vids. Good to have you on this journey together with us. 👍🏻🔥☕️⚔️
Dad
@@KyleRoyerKnives I'm pretty new to the channel, but Kyle is a great presenter, some good jokes, very relaxing voice etc. I've always been a fan of sharp stuff, but his pieces are on a whole other level. It's the type of stuff I can imagine a master blacksmith presenting to a king as an heirloom. If I was a rich man, I'd certainly be commissioning a piece, I'm not though so instead I just watch in admiration!
Fantastic work as always, Kyle and family! You all do something most will never understand or know. Just keep it up guys!
Thanks David
Good to have you here with us all
Team Royer
When I was in the military I used to roll up the instant coffee from the MRE in the teepee, from the MRE... anyway the point is I called it ranger dip and used it when I needed to stay awake while on duty. Just put it in your lip like a tobacco pouch and charlie mike. 👍
By far the nicest knife I’ve ever seen!! Absolutely amazing work man!!
Like how I can see in your videos that you enjoy your work and that there's progress from the earliest videos that I saw of you to the one I'm looking at now. Thank you
Hey thanks A N N. Glad you’re here hanging out with us my friend
👍🏻☕️🔥⚔️
Dad
@@KyleRoyerKnives yeah I'm interested in primary technology. How do you go from naked in a forest to a cell phone? If we had all the knowledge and just a bunch of people standing around naked how do you go from that to the heavily dependent technologies of the modern day? Blacksmithing is definitely right at that point where you can take black sand from a river charcoal things of that nature and if you're really clever I'm really hard working you can make a tool that's very sophisticated and opens up a lot of doors. Thanks for your wonderful CZcams videos they are appreciated.
Wow! Details, fit and finish, beauty. Amazing!
WOW.
WOW.
simply wonderful ... and then.... that feather.... with such a fine and clearly distinct texture .... a knife at the state of the art.
Hey thanks morph. Happy new year my friend
Dad
Wow, so glad I came across your channel. You've got a delightfully silly sense of humour, and you are a true craftsman. This hunter, with it's beautiful feather pattern, is seriously gorgeous. Not that anybody cares about my opinion, but you have my full respect. You do some damn fine work. Kramer doesn't even make knives this beautiful. Just, wow.
The tiny feather design of that blade is gorgeous. Your hunter really caught my attention. The shape and profile of your knife is exactly the same as my fathers hunting knife. My fathers bone handle is more of a rustic design of course, but has the same shape and size. It took me 20 or more years just to find a modern knife with a similar blade and handle shape. The Browning model 751. Your knife is so beautiful I hope it’s never used, but the blade and handle shape you’ve built into your hunter ergonomically lend themselves perfectly to processing an animal. Your hunter is literally a stunningly perfect form of perfect function.
Thanks Aaron
Cool about your dad’s knife
Dad
That is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen, you are my new favorite bladesmith hands down. WOW!!
Thanks Dan
Kyle
My favorite knife you've made, thanks Kyle! I don't think the Damascus could be any better.
You might possibly make the nicest knives/ swords to ever exist. I am thoroughly impressed by your incredible skill. Utterly amazing.
5:35 Now that is the content I subscribed for!
It’s all fun and games til someone gets their eyes fused to their skull 💀🔥🤪
Good to have you hanging out with us Karl
You have some of the best blueing I have seen. Perfection. Awesome knifes.
Oh man, I love the knifes and swords that you make they are just beautiful to look at.
Damn dude, you are so particular and patient. The knives exceed any expectations! Just wow!
I can't get over how perfectly uniform every single bit of gold inlay is, what a stunning build!
Thanks Ross
Team Royer
@@KyleRoyerKnives never a problem for you guys!
I'm no blacksmith, just an average Joe who enjoys the videos,. I think the whole process is really cool. I wish I could watch the makers course, not that I'd build anything, but I think I would just enjoy watching it
Love the work and attention to detail ; showing frequent examples and explanations. Keep it up,
I wouldn't mind to see something larger and more elaborate the would take like 20 episodes, those builss are my favs. Watching you build that sword a while back was fun.
That is absolutely stunning! Great work.
I truly believe that you are producing some of the best blades in the world, they will be held up as the standard of perfection to which we other Smith's strive to reach. No bs, good job
Wonderful! Such a beautiful knife and fantastic way to use Mammoth Ivory Scales that I had not seen before. I have a few Mammoth Ivory Scales that were carved for me quite a few years back by a friend of mine in Bali. They are matched pairs of inner Ivory that have been carved in 3D so you can see through the Ivory and require a hollow handle. I'm trying to save as much of the Ivory as I can in my first design for making a full tang Bowie from a Damascus Billet I have. I will get the Billet cut by a friend who has Laser, Plasma and CNC cutters. My problem is I will have to make a 2.5 mm spacer to go between the Scales to fill the gap which is the thickness of the knife blade and then carve it to match the existing shapes and textures. I'm sure I can manage that but getting a small thin 2.5 mm piece of inner Mammoth Ivory or another Bone is becoming a problem as I am in Phuket Thailand. Any ideas would be appreciated, I could send you a picture if you have Facebook or similar. Thanks for another great video, I can't stop watching them. Regards Barry Rowe.
Always amazed at the aesthetic beauty of your blades. Much respect!
Beautiful knife, such craftsman ship and care! Well done.
Thanks Philip
Kyle
Another beautiful knife that will probably find it's way to a museum in 100 years.. well done Kyle!
Thanks Anthony
Team Royer
Amazing! Such a beauty! You compete with the art of the royal gunsmiths in the old times in Europe in France, Italy or the Habsburg empire.
Thanks Peter
Team Royer
So precise, I should close my mouth when watching your video. The knife is simply excellent. Well done
Beautifully done brother, i have to say, you definitely grew on me...can't wait to see what is next!!!
Absolutely stunning! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 That looks amazing! I think my eyes popped out too!
Thanks Fiery
😎🔥⚔️
Team Royer
Love using the protective plate when grinding the pins, very smart sir. Im stealing that 1. Thanks
Go for it my friend. That’s what it’s there for. Now you have to share one of your trade secrets with someone else. It’s more fun when bring people along with you on your journey.
Merry Christmas and happy new year
Dad
You are brilliant Kyle. Great videos and even better art, aka “knives and blades”. I would love work for someone like you.
Hey thanks Chris
Merry Christmas
I'm torn between calling u a knifemaker & artist!, what a beautiful knife my friend!
3 WAYS TO I.D. A KNIFEMAKER!
1.) has patches of fresh shaved areas randomly on there body!
2.) Has bandaid(s) on hand and or healing wounds on fingers & hands!
3.) Internet history reads like a "slasher" serial killer from researching blades!
Keep up the great builds brother, cant wait to see more vids in the future and learn more from u! 👍🏻⚒🗡
I don't have much time in my life due to health reasons. Before I die I hope to have my childhood drawn knife made to such detail as you make your blades. And hand it down to my children.
This is probably the most beautiful knife I’ve ever seen
You have done it again! What a masterpiece!!! Thanks for sharing 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
I love the "Back to the House" and batman music! :D
Man. That’s gorgeous! Outstanding
Gawd-damn that thing is so damn pretty, one of the most gorgeous knives I have ever seen. As per usual Kyle's work is masterclass stuff, always love the detail work on them.
Proud of you, what a great project!
Thanks Jamie
Team Royer
Amazing work Kyle!! Beautiful!!
Beautiful knife as always Kyle. Love the outtakes at the end of the videos too. Would love to see you make yourself an EDC or see what you carry most days.
Thanks J. L.
Out takes are fun

Stunningly beautiful work , congrats
Roy I have a lose of words how beautiful the hunter knife really is. I've learned so much watching you make knives. It is so amazing. I want to ask if you sell your knifes. I know it's a stupid question but each one you make seem to be a master piece.
Hey thanks Joseph. All of our knives are for sale. You can contact us at royerknifeworks@live.com for availability and pricing

Thanks John
Love Faberge

Love that coffee break
That looks so freaking amazing!
Man that is beautiful you’ve come a long ways I watched you from the beginning
Wow that’s awesome Mike
Great to have you hanging out with us all

Truly a work of art. Nice job.
Nice one! Well made as always! Keep on!
I would love to see a san-mai fighter being made next! big fan of your work! also the videography is amazing!
Very beautiful and great job making it!!
Enjoyed your video and gave it a Thumbs Up
👍🏻👍🏻🔥⚔️☕️
The yachting channels I watch use that same colloidal silica and they say never to use it without breathing filter on. Apparently it can be quite nasty. I too burnt my eyes out with the beauty of this knife.....it was worth it.
its most likely not something you wanna breathe in indeed, but with the tiny amount he puts in its probably not that bad. If you make large quantities for boats etc yeah you dont wanna do that without a good breathing filter on.
@@pr0faker A tiny bit over long exposure time = big problems. Also the "it's just a lil bit" excuse is what every old school tradie I've ever worked with uses. It's just a lil bit of roundup, It's just a lil bit of welding with no mask, it's just a lil bit of (insert dangerous favorite work environment/substance here) it won't hurt me. Now the same guys I used to work with as a kid are blind/deaf/cancer or dead. And here is me that took a ribbing for wearing all my PPE with zero work related problems. Now all I gotta work out is my women problems. But that's a subject for another time :)
@@townsville69 dont get me wrong, I do agree that its better to be save than sorry and use the right protection. Though it seems to me he doesnt make 10 knives a week with that stuff is what I mean. But it would be better to show usage of this stuff with the proper protection indeed.
Thanks townsville
Team Royer
Such talent and beautiful work always a pleasure to watch.
that is a really gorgeous knife! just a question. was the metal for the handle spacers hot blued? and if so, did you polish the spacers after they were hot blued or before. once again thats a really beautiful knife!😃
