This wouldn't look out of place in a royal collection of treasures. Well done!

I disagree. It would stand out over and above most of what you find in a royal collection.

The blue would make it stand out, but in terms of fanciful design comparison, it's mid!

This belongs in a museum with people admiring it for 1000 years

Another piece that would not be out of place in an age of myth. I wonder how many of your works will end up in museums. Fantastic work.

No question, this is one of the most beautiful knives I’ve ever seen. Great job.

It would look right at home amidst the Crown Jewels ...

You can tell he is proud of this one. And holy smokes he 100% should be. That’s amazing.

I swear to God, I was on my bike riding home from work yesterday evening and I thought, 🤔 it's a long time ago Kyle posted a video. Aaaaand here you are! Can't wait to get home to watch it😊

Normally, I'd see a notification for a 50 minute video and I roll my eyes. But Kyle Royer or Blacktail Studios videos and I know my jaw will be on the floor in awe while I watch. To me, you're both PhD degree level craftsmen. Respect from Manchester, NJ, USA.

I wonder if Cam and Kyle watch each others channels

Hey Kyle beautiful Bowie, the lapis is stunning. Hey I’m a knife maker from Canada and a lapidary artist. In my Experience working with many different Gemstones the soft backed diamond nova wheels work amazing for achieving a high gloss polish. The wheels can run up to 14,000 grit and then a light buff with cerium oxide on a leather pad works amazing. Oh the Damascus on that blade is fantastic 😮

I'm sure you have heard it a million times, but your craftsmanship is next level. Very impressive.

Geez Kyle, that's beautiful. At this pace you'll be the royal armorer of some European royal family before long.

As ever, I am absolutely flabbergasted and blown away by the attention to detail. The bright cuts are a small addition that make an ENORMOUS difference in the appearance of the final piece. These videos always inspire, but this is a whole new level, at least for me.

This is probably the nicest knife I have ever laid eyes upon. Your work speaks for itself and I could listen for eternity.

Seeing that finished knife almost invoked an emotional response, it was so beautiful.

"Almost invoked an emotional response" felt that brother

you tell us how satisfying it is for you while making these blades. dude, it is so satisfying for me to see you doing such detailed and beautiful work!

Skill. Dedication. Talent. Enthusiasm. Cinematography. Results. This is one of my favourite channels for all those reasons and more.

This is the most beautiful hand made item I have ever seen! You, WOW, you!!!!

this one has to take place in a museum ....

The talent from Kyle absolutely blows me away. I'm speechless with every knife that he builds. VERY nice work!! Absolutely amazing craftsmanship.

This is one of, if not THE, most beautiful knives I've ever seen. Great job, Kyle!

To a fellow knife maker, that is one of the most amazing blades I’ve seen. I love the use of stone in handles. Jay fisher is another of my favorites when it comes to gemstone handles

I have never watched a video of yours. It was truly breathtaking you caring so much about the most minute details. The end result speaks for itself. This is a blade worthy of a god. Insane. I'm not joking when I say that my eyes got a bit watery in the end.

what a masterpiece! The level of craftsmanship, artistry and love and attention for detail is stunning! worthy of a king, i hope you get paid like one, because you truly deserve it for this work!

I’m starting to like stone handles now. I haven’t seen such a hilt construction so intricate since I’ve started looking at artisanal knives. Talk about being blown away by the craftsmanship.

This is one of the greatest knives ever made, your skill and craftsmanship are amazing. Keep up the excellent work 👏

The blade looks like a piece of jewelry, and the detail on the guard is stunning- when fantasy authors describe knives/swords THIS is the image they are trying to convey! This is higher level of excellence I'm not even going to talk about the sheath. Great build!!

I hardly comment on videos, probably because I'm too lazy to. This knife is absolutely perfect! Your narration is inspiring and your satisfaction of your perfect work is incredible. Well done on such a masterpiece 😊

A real piece of Art. Your attention to detail is incredible. Great Job. Thanks for sharing the craftmanship.

When a person acquires a unique degree of knowledge and experience, he becomes a master at what he does. For me, one of the greatest cutlers I've ever seen, certainly one of the best in the world. Congratulations and all the best always.

this isn't just a knife. IT IS ART!!!!

You make such beautiful art! Functional art is probably the best description of what I mean. I’ve been following your channel for years, always enjoy seeing both the process and the final product!

Watching the master at work, I'm awed , humbled, and made envious. Definitely a masterpiece

One of the best pieces you've ever done. You will go down in history as one of our generations greatest bladesmiths with your amazing demascus patterns. Someone commented your pieces will be in museums one day and I absolutely agree. Please don't stop making knives and the patterns your mind comes up with

Take a shot of your favorite adult beverage every time Kyle says "Background"!!!😂😂😂😂😂 All jokes aside, this is definitely an amazing piece!!!! You inspire me to put this much attention to detail into my wood working projects!!

And "chatoyance". Kyle is the first person I ever heard use that term. I rightly so. With the mastery of his work, I guess he should be able to lay claim to that word.

Your Artistic design coupled with your singular craftsmanship make this piece timeless.

Always a pleasure watching you create your ART. Best.

To get a perfect finish on minerals use a fluffy microfibre cloth with cerium oxide powder. Works better than diamond as even super fine diamond is more aggressive

Reminds me of a travel knife Merlin may have used.

This is absolutely gorgeous. And what makes it even better, is that you shared the journey with us, so we don't just see an impressive masterpiece of art, but got a glimpse of what went into that.

Unreal! I LOVE your videos!! Video quality is A+ as always!

Charoite. And now lapis lazuli? You are going right to the top of beauty. Of course. There are quite a few that could be on that list. The granites in the table top world are amazing: Juparana Bordeaux, the many black/quartz mixes, etc. And your starter blocks of charoite and lapis... wow.

Such a magnificent knife in such an ugly sheath. 😢

Every one of your creations truly is a masterpiece. You have an awesome gift and thank you for sharing them with us. Much love and gratitude.

this is insanely beautiful! always a pleasure and a privilege to watch and enjoy your process

Added bonus for this piece. The inclusions on the lapis handle will react to uv light with little flecks of orange light. I can only imagine how beautiful that knife would look under a blacklight

This engraving work is some of the most beautiful work I’ve ever seen. This is an heirloom piece for sure.

Seriously so cool! Thanks for sharing your journey of creating the blade.

glad to see your shop is getting some huge upgrades, you deserve it!

Everything about that blade is a work of art. You make the legendary items from video games and movies, real artifacts that are beautiful. Wonderful work Kyle!

Been looking forward to seeing how this blade finished up! Looks incredible as always, amazing work!

Amazing! Extraordinary work Kyle!

GORGEOUS! Excellent work, Kyle!!

I finally have all I need to start knifemaking in earnest and look forward to creating something that won't be of your standard but you are the bar to reach for...I love your work and videos!

Wow!!..That is the most awesome looking knife I’ve ever seen in my life. You really out done yourself this time Kyle. Thanks for sharing your amazing talent

Amazing craftmanship, the finish on that blade is really captivating!

A level of passion, expertise, knowledge, scrutiny, attention to detail, commitment and sheer brilliance rarely seen these days. Your work is exceptional and beautiful.

The sheer concentration and focus that is required to make these objects is something that not everyone can muster. These are masterworks that should be treasured. 👍

Each piece you do seems to level up from the last one. Truly impressive!

Wow the leather sheath is also mesmerizing ❤❤ Amazing craftsmanship

So good to have you back! This was worth the wait and can't wait to see the sword you're working on!

What an absolutely stunning piece of craftsmanship and art. You're truly an artist. I'm sure you're parents must be so very proud.

Dude, this is a masterpiece. It belongs in a museum of smithing - it belongs in the center of its own room. Holy crap.

What a masterpiece! You're incredibly gifted! I enjoyed watching every moment in this video. I'd never sell it!! NEVER NEVER. NEVER!!!!!!

Kyle, you’re simultaneously your own biggest critic and greatest fan. It’s one of the things that makes your videos so enjoyable - apart from your absolutely incredible craftsmanship of course

My goodness this knife is incredible and your entire collection is jaw dropping. Amazing work!

There aren't even words for describing how beauitful that looks! It looks absolutely amazing!

Gotdang.... that is far more than just an heirloom, that belongs in a vault to be admired for centuries because with that level of craftsmanship it will last until archaeologists are theorizing about us. So incredible, so stunning and my god so expensive too. Your materials suit your care and love for the craft my dude, exceptional work.

Amazingly beautiful piece! Awesome video, thank you for sharing.

a master at his craft.. such beautiful work!!!

That's absolutely amazing, Kyle! Beautiful!

That is a genuinely beautiful piece!

This is incredible. The best build I have ever seen. 🥰

I follow quite a few blacksmiths on KZread and this is by far the most beautiful bit of craftsmanship I've ever seen. Jaw droppingly stunning. That Damascus is phenomenal

You are an incredible artist and bladesmith. This is one of the most beautiful knive's I've ever seen. I could see it in a king's hand. Excellent job!!!

A true work of art. Well done!

I have never seen such attention to detail and such beauty in a knife.

Everything is so beautiful and perfect... It´s amazing how everything combines with the other pieces 😍

Your knives just keep getting better. Well done sir. It's beautiful.

Sir, that is an incredible piece of work. Great job.

Amazing work! As a cabinet maker I notice a destinct difference with the use of materials between European and US work. In Europe materials have not been so abundant so the finished product reflects the preciousness of the materials. In the US money seems to be no object so you see lavish use of materials... Where I would use expensive veneers on a cheaper material, in the US they'd use solid wood, sparing no expense. Incredible journey and what a great result..

Every single finished product i have ever seen from you is always a one of a kind masterwork. You make some of the most beautiful blades the world has ever seen, surely. And the fact you do things like engraving by hand is just. Wow. You truly have a gift and the things you make are on a fantasy level of beauty.

Incredible start to finish, deserves to be preserved in a museum

Brilliancy through Art, Passion, and Discipline. Thank you

such a beautiful piece. a true work of art. well done

Kyle, that entire package, knife and seath is super well done, they go so nice together , your detail work is beautiful , well done man!!

You're my knife making hero. My definition of a hero is someone that gives inspiration through achievement. 😙

absolutely beautiful... Such a stunning blade!

U have some incredible skills and patience sir. Unbelievable work great job!!

I've never seen a more beautiful knife in my life! A whole fantasy series should be written about this knife!

I miss the multiple video series for these amazing builds! Absolutely incredible work!

Everything Kyle creates is just a pure work of art.

Absolutely the star of your efforts at this point! Stunning work!

Great insightful angles on the knife and your presentation, AWESOME!

This is absolutely incredible, it blows my mind to imagine someone can create this with their own two hands. I don’t know how you do it. Absolutely stunning, amazing, incredible, beautiful. Words can’t do it justice.

Unreal! You never cease to amaze and impress with your skill and passion. This is beyond beautiful. Love the stay on target bit too, lol.

Hands down the most beautiful knife i have ever seen,. I'm a huge knife collector, and puts my blades to shame. Your family must be soo proud of your talent. I also live in Missouri. I wish i was a part of your Royer family so bad:) Just....no words can describe this entire knife other than a masterpiece by one of the most talented knife makers i have ever come across..Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man, your work is amazing. Art.

That is beautiful , a true master piece, loved your work

This is by far one of the best and brilliantly informed educational KZread channels I've ever happened upon, I can quite comfortably sit and watch you for hours on end, thank you ever so much for such a brilliant and well produced series sir.

This is such a stunning piece of art.

This is a beautiful piece!
