Hope you guys enjoy this! We are trying to post once a week, so it was a challenge posting this video on time, haha. I am just getting done with it at 11:53pm. Have a great day everyone! ~Josh Royer/Video Guy. Also, you can support us by buying a t-shirt here: www.learnknifemaking.com/merch
BTW I had the same "flap needed" issue with a persian I made but instead made the flap and laced it on with leather lace so it acted like a hinge and laid perfectly flat.
having a brother, having a brother you love, having a brother you're friends with, having a brother you work with. you're really lucky man, nothing stronger than siblings like yall
Kyle, I cannot tell you how much of a relief it is to hear you say that you aren’t a fan of leatherwork and yet to see your excellent results nevertheless. I, too, am not a huge fan of leatherworking and sometimes the relative lack of enjoyment worries me that I might be limited in my humanly possible results. Thanks to your honesty and incredible work ethic, I feel that I can take on leatherworking with considerably greater optimism
If this is the quality of work you produce while not enjoying leather work, can you imagine what you could do if you actually enjoyed it??? Superb craftsmanship sir, as per usual.
For someone who thinks working with leather is no fun, you've certainly made a piece of beautiful art, Kyle. It will certainly live up to the beauty of the knife it will protect. And thank you and your family again for producing a really entertaining video.
I love that you guys all work together. I bet your dad loves having his boys working shoulder to shoulder with him. Not many parents get that privilege anymore. I find it quite beautiful 😊
Kyle WOW this piece is truly next level!!!! Might be the best knife I've ever seen made for sure and maybe best I've seen period! And it's not even done
I swear you are the most talented blade smith I have ever seen. Hopefully some day I can afford one of your pieces. They are the most beautiful blades I have ever seen.
Kyle, you are a true Artisan. But, knowing your dislike of leatherworking, I can't help thinking of these segments as, "Crafting with Kyle." In any case, it came out beautifully. I raise my coffee cup in toast of you and your family.
Very nice the way you’ve solved the problem of getting the curved blade in and out of the sheath with the opening and the wrap around strap, quite an innovative idea. Looking forward to the next instalment with anticipation. For someone who doesn’t like leather work you’re doing quite a reasonable job of it. Regards from Down Under.
Awesome stuff guys! Kyle if you take a 5x5” piece scrap leather and and skive a line down the center of the rough side, you can pop it into your vise to make a stitching pony. The smooth side would contact the piece you’re working and not mar the surface.
I was surprised when I started blacksmithing I thought I’d hate leatherwork so didn’t make sheaths at first. I actually really enjoy working on sheaths now since it’s such a different experience from working with metal. Good for a change of pace.
You sure can't tell you dislike the work because it looks fab. Sheath and knife turned out incredible. I see dad in the background diligently working as usual. Dad, can we purchase your knives? Go Royer Team!
Extremely high quality work, great video editing and lots of wholesome happy-family moments. It's actually criminal that this channel doesnt have millions of subscribers yet. IM CALLING THE INTERNET POLICE!!! Great work guys! 🤟😎
That coffee scene was hilarious! Quite literally laugh out loud and immediately showed the wife. Dead pan from your old man made for a good laugh too! Nice to see you guys breaking things up with humor. Great work and content Kyle and family 👍
I'd love to see some of your beautiful metalwork on the outside of the sheath/scabbards you make. I've been thinking this since your first big sword project, I think that the detail of the piece outweighs the detail in the sheath/scabbard.
So nice to see the Dremel drill press getting some serious action! 💪 Yours looks, uh, used. 😉👍 Also, in high speed, thought camera-dad was wearing a kimono, LOL!! 😜 Fantastic work on the sheath, Kyle, as always. Great job, everyone!! 👏🙏🏆🥇💝
As always, the quality of production of these videos is top notch, and the work displayed is even beyond that ! Thanks a lot, that must motivate hundreds (if not more) of makers to even start making things :D
If you thin the leather out were the flap wraps around the sheath it will allow it to wrap around easier you could also wet the leather put it on place and clamp it. When it dries it will stay in that shape
Hey thanks Johnny Check out learnknifemaking.com and you will be able to see into the mind of Kyle. We have hours and hours of Kyle’s detailed teachings Dad
Have you ever seen "Shurap" making his Damascus blades. Totally brilliant also, he always has a Hot drink break....... flowers in hot water is wierd 👍👍👍
Kyle: _Metal, Wood, Stone, I want to work with these hard Materials. Leather? No._ Me: _One Material would be enough, honestly. If I only had the place to do it..._
This turned out amazing, not that I am surprised everything i have seen you make turns out amazing. Your attention to detail is so awesome to watch! Keep up the great work and looking forward to the next video!
That is so beautiful man! Can't believe you don't enjoy leather work when your results are spectacular. Keep on giving us great content and we will keep watching mate. Coxy.
Something about goatskin makes it great for working gloves. My theory is that the sweetness they have in early life makes it soft but then the bitter bastard that shows up later in life makes it tough
WHAAAATTT!!! NEW BELTGRINDERS!!!! Did you name them already?? You did not present them to us!! I thought you would never ditch the old ones!! Congratulations!!!
Hey thanks Brodbeck sent us a complete outfitted 72”. And we bought a tw90 Still have the grizzly and kmg Making room for them all Cheers from the Ozarks my friend Dad
not gonna lie, one of my favourite things about your vids is the accidental inuendos which naturally pop up all the time... "mess with my flap" was a good one :'D 14:27 ... good drinking game ?
Great vid and attention to detail. Looks great so far! Was just thinking to myself there was no coffee break not more then a second or 2 before I saw you say coffee break n take a drink in the speed up finishing. Had a good laugh about that. Good job as always!
Hey i first i though it was going to be a sucky vid..but actually was great..awsome shots..and the double soeed idea where you was drinking coffee and the shot where your friend was just standing there were genious i watched all the way and learned a few things thanks...
Hey thanks my friend Kyle did the math and would have had to make the top of sheath over 5” wide because of the lift at tip of blade Good to have you here phatbassanchor Dad
@@KyleRoyerKnives That's why Kyle is the master and I just watch! Hahaha ;D Five inches! That would look pretty silly! It would also tend to flop back and forth. I always liked how my Kukri looked in it's scabbard. But, it is not a tight fit like my other sheaths and scabbards. Kyle's solution here was brilliant as well as beautiful. I love blades! I am a former collector and life long lover of all things bladed. So, I'm a natural fan. I can hardly wait to see Nico make the Skyrim version of this wonderfully fierce and beautiful blade
You need to pick shop noise or music as the sound over those montages. The one making the Frog gave me a headache it was so loud on both. Love the videos, sound on this was rough during that though.
Would it work to inlay mild steel into stainless and then blue it, to get black mirror finish inflated into a silver mirror finish? That would be a really cool look.
oh wow! That's a lot! I have CZcams put the ads in automatically what the algorithm thinks is best, maybe i should change that? Was it frustrating for you to get 5-6 ades? ~Josh Royer
Nice knife and sheath you being Kyle I really thought you were going to use some kind of silver tip for the flap on the sheath don’t get me wrong still both pieces gorgeous
Ya know... that "wrong direction cutter" sure makes the video easier to look at. Prolly drives anyone who operates a lathe insane to watch but for us luddites it's kinda nice.
Has the liner leather effected the blade at all? The goat looked metal tanned, chrome or alum. Metal tannage can cause pitting. Always glad to see SLC product on the YT. I have the same shark leather.
Hi Kyle, wouldn't it make sense to make yourself leather sewing saddle? It's just two planks screwed together with some spacer that make them spring open. Trust me, it helps a looooot while sewing leather :)

thank you Josh!
BTW I had the same "flap needed" issue with a persian I made but instead made the flap and laced it on with leather lace so it acted like a hinge and laid perfectly flat.
you're a legend Josh
Love the knife and sheath! Amazing video work as always, Josh!
Those were some nice macro shots, and beautiful sheath.
Thanks, Bobby! I would like to say, you are a very funny guy! Love your vids! :). ~Josh Royer
Who is this Bobby Duke clown?? Could he be booked for my daughter's birthday 😂🤣
It would really make her day 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That timelapse on the stitching was hysterical.
It would not be wrong, if I say you are one of the best blacksmiths on the internet.
And we can say these words for you too. Welcome Random Hands i am a fan of your work man.
Hey thanks Random
Glad you’re here hanging out with us
👍🏻☕️🔥⚔️

O my God Random Hands is here 😍😍😍
I’ve said it before. You are the most meticulous son of a gun I’ve ever watched in my life. What a beautiful knife and sheath. Literally breathtaking.
Hey thanks Sam

Great to have you here Mike
Dad
I'm glad it's not just me who loves the metal and wood parts of knifemaking but HATES the leatherwork!

I, too, am not a huge fan of leatherworking and sometimes the relative lack of enjoyment worries me that I might be limited in my humanly possible results.

The quality of the videography is SO good these days and this is a very good example. Especially the montage pieces.
Thanks James
Team Royer
Good job Kyle and team! That's an amazing sheath for an amazing knife, shown through an amazing video. Keep up the awesome work!
Hey, kyle are you secretly the Human Torch? Because everything you make is pure fire
Cheesy.. Here's a tip for your next comment.. "ooh Kyle, if you were a transformer you'd be Optimus Fine."
Feeling the love my friend

Another art masterpiece
Your work is utterly outstanding, Kyle.
Truly one of the very best knife-makers.

Just on another level! Also the close up's! I almost SHEEET myself for excitment!!
I wish to be as proficient with things I don't like to do... Awesome job Kyle!
Beautiful sheath. Ingenious closure solution...very clean & simple.

Nice looking knife and sheath Kyle! Crocodile Dundee would be proud!
Every piece I have seen you make would defiantly be a legendary item. You sir create art to die for...no pun intended👍🏻
I'd love to see some of your beautiful metalwork on the outside of the sheath/scabbards you make. I've been thinking this since your first big sword project, I think that the detail of the piece outweighs the detail in the sheath/scabbard.
This.

I am glad you realized your mistake on your drawing & made the real sheath right handed instead of left handed.
Copy that my friend

Good times my friend

5:19 I thought you put superglue by accident and thats why it stuck!
anyway ridiculous fine job man I love it
If you turn your cutting tools so the insert is down you can use them on the near side instead
I don't usually go in for the flap/strap style sheaths for this type of blade. But, you certainly made it work in the best possible way my friend.

I dont wanna say this, but some reasons made me do this, you are so greedy👍 much more than i expect a master to be.

Try a fine satin finish on the nickel damascus. Trust me 😉
Has the liner leather effected the blade at all? The goat looked metal tanned, chrome or alum. Metal tannage can cause pitting. Always glad to see SLC product on the YT. I have the same shark leather.
Hasn’t affected the blade at all
