Making Mosaic Damascus in Australia, Pt. 1
I taught 6 knife makers how to make mosaic damascus. This is part 1. I will be posting part 2 next week. I am so proud of my student, they did so well!

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!

I hope everyone gave you the gratitude you upmost deserve. Yes they paid for your workshop but you didnt have to do this. Damascus is an artwork much like the classic painters we know today. Some may take your knowledge and put their twist onto it. But your willing to teach people this artform and that right there is priceless. Congratulations Kyle!

I would imigine teaching a live class would be a whole new challenge. I use to have people ask me why I don't do live tutorials & my answer was always "because, just sitting there watching me grind bevels or make a knife is pretty boring" it's a whole different ballgame when you can edit everything & make it interesting... Glad to see you made it home safely, was following on Instagram, looked like you had a blast... Hope you & the family stay safe through these next few weeks, take it easy...

Looks like such a great time, and with a great setup for everybody to flow from tool to tool without each person having to wait much. That would definitely be heartbreaking to have a student's billet end up as scrap, for both the student and the teacher 😬 lol. From the thumbnail, thankfully it looks like everything went well though, so I'm looking forward to seeing those patterns close up! I'm glad you all made it home safely too 🙏🏻.

Hi Kyle, I've had a Kyle Royer Damascus binge watch tonight. With the South African Rand being R17.38 to $1 it will be super cheap for you to come visit us in South Africa and have a working holiday, COVID-19 being a bit of a problem though. I have some ideas, would love to attend a workshop like your Aussie visit, but probably couldn't afford it, but would love to discuss possibilities.

All these flakes which are coming out via forging are pieces of metal or the oxidation of the metal? At the phase with the 4 pieces of the steel (in my fantasy) if you added a stainless steel at the middle and forged again I think than an interesting damascus shape can produced .....

A true master! Only critique i have is you need to see a chiropractor! Or you won't be able to create your works of mastery into your old age. A tip is every morning get up and hang of a bar so you feet are off the ground. This will use gravity to straighten your back and stop you becoming the hunch back of Notre Dame! Keep on keeping on!

Better Still a wee little confusing, you used squaring dies instead of forging on the bias correct? Then rotated 90° and re squared on the bias again? What seemed different is you 4 wayed twice?? Then tiled the billet on a 35° or 33° whatever your cut was. Did you flip the tiles to mirror as shown in the past? Doing some cable tomorrow.. forge on!

Good night, I really admire your work, you can send me some photos or send me a link to a video of yours where you show the bilet how you solder so you don't use the borax flux, I want to do it here but I'm afraid of soldering wrong and breaking during brazing thank you in advance master

And though my blades are nothing to what you build. One day my skills will develop to a certain level that will put us at the same place at the same time.
