I made a stone handle for my dagger we are calling Serenity! This is one of the most exciting and nerve-wracking things I have done. I am afraid the handle could break at any second while I tile saw it. Figuring out how to get it polished was tricky, but the end result is priceless! ⚡️FREE CLASS: Watch our FREE Forging class here: ➡︎ https://www.learnknifemaking.com/free-forging-class Watch Next Episode: Pt. 8: /watch/8=xedni&JRcSrIaDlhFPbNj0svoz92FUxLF0QsHQLP=tsil&0pQfc42TZPqTe Watch First Episode: Pt. 1: /watch/1=xedni&JRcSrIaDlhFPbNj0svoz92FUxLF0QsHQLP=tsil&sEniroymEaSme Learn how to make knives: https://www.learnknifemaking.com/ YouTube ~ /kyleroyerknives� �� Instagram ~ https://www.instagram.com/kyleroyerknives Website ~ https://www.kyleroyerknives.com/� �� Some links in our videos are affiliate links.

@johnnyc2764last year Geologist specialising in alkaline rocks (like charoite) here. The black is aegirine, the honey coloured mineral is tinaksite. A lot of these are more sensitive to acid than typical stones, so some type of sealant might be helpful if it doesnt ruin the polish, if the piece is expected to be handled a lot ... 307

@rockhoundingwithjasperbluelast year Great job! As a stone worker, I will say you did AWESOME on your 1st go! Charoite is fairly easy to work on but it can go sideways sometimes right about when you’re almost finished! But you ‘handled’ it VERY well and the results look Fantastic!! Way to go! Agate is a little harder but there are some truly wonderful patterns and colors. And jade, well you are gonna Love working with jade! 💎 ... 140

@sambaggins2798last year I Love the way he’s always surprised when it’s perfect. No one else is surprised. He’s so darn humble lol. 8
@

@averagejoe8255last year I have to admit I thoroughly admire your artistry. You are without question a true Grand Master Smith. God bless you and all yours Sir. 61
@

@cadenloewenstein4851last year Just by the thumbnail alone I can tell that's going to be epic. 6
@

@KingBjordlast year that handle is absolutely majestic brother, well done
@

@jkr3008last year The grain pattern of the stone is simply mesmerising. Looks like a nebula full of glowing gas. 9
@

@markedis5902last year I look forward to seeing you carve flowers and swirls into the next stone handle 1
@

@RookieLocklast year "Etch a sketching" is a perfect description of that technique you were using on the lathe, lol. I love it ! 1
@

@DJJOOLZDElast year Love watching you create these magical pieces. Amazing that your entire family is dedicated to sharing the craft. Thanks for allowing us a view into your world. 20
@

@iphail4733last year One of the marks of a master is being able to visualise things beyond your current skillset. Executing them is impressive after several failures but to nail it the first time round. Hats off to you sir. 2
@

@beezo2560last year That handle pops. Great work Kyle. Shout out to Josh. Without your camera skills and lighting, we wouldn't have been able to see the color blasting from the stone.
Go Team Royer! 2
@

@townsville69last year Shaping and forming stones and gems is so much fun. Very addictive.
@

@janhruby190last year "may the forge be with you" - good one :D incredible work
@

@MrHahaJayumanlast year Using water on a stone/tile bit is not only for lubrication, it's also for cooling. Creating the pool might work but the water will warm up and your bit won't stay sharp very long. Best to have a setup or at a minimum a semi continuous spray/flow of cool water. ... 7
@

@maneotis4g63tlast year Dude that handle is unbelievably gorgeous! 1
@

@oculusangelicus8978last year That Charoite is stunning, and the dendrite inclusions really give some character to it. When you start using stone for handle then you really get my interest going because I am a serious rock hound and can think of a thousand different stones that would be awesome as handle material you might also want to try giving Porcelain a try as well, but for that you'll have to learn pottery or have someone who IS a potter making your handles for you because pottery take a long time to master. ... 5
@

@myxomatosis3744last year Your craftsmanship never ceases to amaze me.
If I only had the funds to commission you. 😒😔
@

@cuchillos_medranolast year I can't stop looking at the polished handle. It looks SO GOOD 😍😍😍 1
@

@stevefriswell5422last year That handle is just superb. Very well done sir.
@

@bilijofullast year I was flabergasted by your use of putty to have the drill bit constantly submerged! It's such a simple idea I would've never thought of it myself! It save a mess, time, skill and material (cutting oil) amazing work as always man ... 9
@

@digratlast year Josh, IMHO you're doing great work on the videography!
@

@danthemakermanlast year Absolutely love seeing your excitement and enthusiasm on trying something new. Also the larger bevels on the handle look really good. Beautiful work as always. 1
@

@BearBoxBreakslast year It's looking amazing Kyle. I love how you keep trying new things and still make it look like you've been doing it for years. 2
@

@j4nk3nlast year True craftsman, dreaming of making new things with new techniques, absolutely a pleasure to watch! 1
@

@vladislavjisalast year Your Craftsmanship is just on a unbelievable level 1
@

@scottdahl1938last year I like the moat idea. Slow and light fingertip pressure with water. I've put a piece of marble in a shallow pan and used a hole saw for tile. Perfect for the faucet set. The bugger in this is this is a very well made 20 minute video and you made it look easy. Time and patience are the biggest ingredient once the materials and tools are obtained. Much of which you can construct yourself if you collect electric motors to mount on a bench to make a buffer or grinder. Beautiful job. ...
@

@TimeAttack2003last year His mastery of all processes to create the final result is something to see! 1
@

@xdinked7502last year Honestly cannot wait to see the rest of this & see it completed! I've really enjoyed this one, not that I dont enjoy the others you've done. I think it's just because I can feel you excitement and happiness of doing the stone handle, which looks beautiful too btw Kyle. You're so amazing n your attention to detail is way beyond others I've watched ...
@

@joeledwards6587last year This pairs so beautifully with the blade, what a fantastic stone handle. Bravo Kyle 3
@

@charlesfarley7023last year Incredible build! I love how infectious your excitement is!
@

@krazymike1912last year Ok ..... now that's the best handle I've ever seen! Badass work bro
@

@bladegod5286last year I can only imagine how comfortable holding the knife in my hand
@

@jonathanbrittain4681last year Artistry and excellence. Truly a joy to watch a master at work.
@

@genexstylelast year That is a stunning handle you crafted! can't wait for the next episode (still watching this one, but had to see the end result because I couldn't wait) 6
@

@wryzolast year The look of that stone is unreal, what an awesome material 1
@

@dakotahills2.095last year Love it. Following this all the way. Can't wait to see the finished dagger.
@

@chrisordiway7203last year Amazing job on this dagger so far. Love the color of that stone, very regal looking. Can't wait to see the finished product.
@

@FuneralProcessionlast year That drill core gives me fountain pen ideas ❤
@

@BradGryphonnlast year There is so much depth to that stone. It is almost opalescent. Very beautiful. 1
@

@darrell840last year I love that stone handle and I love even more how enthusiastic you are about it. I am anxiously waiting for the damascening video tough. I want to learn that
@

@dwayneburbridge3283last year Wow, that’s sick! Gorgeous colors and shape. 1
@

@phazonclashlast year Wow. I follow many talented knife makers/artists on YouTube, and yours are by far the most refined and beautiful I've seen. I'm impressed 1
@

@f.b.jeffers0nlast year Wow... I mean, wow, wow, wow... The blade has reached the point where I'm speechless, and you're making it better... 🤯 1
@

@brysonalden5414last year I really appreciate you sharing your new techniques. I love that about the bladesmithing community.
@

@fedormarkvardt9054last year fabulous work on beautiful handle ! can't wait to see the final touch
@

@TF146_last year Kyle, I wana take the Time to thank you for your work and absolute commitment to whatever your doin on your art. Im absolutely in Love with your Videos, been watchin every Single one of them for about Two Years.

You got Fans from all over the World, Keep grinding and do what we all Love!❤️❤️ ... 1
@

@adamplona9438last year Love the purple color! Did I seriously just now notice that you turned your air compressor into a Minion!!! AWESOME!!! I have been so focused on your blades, I only saw the Star Wars posters. I am only half way through the video and if you do it later in the video .. my bad. But the purple stone "core" that you got from drilling the handle could be chopped up into small disks to inlay on other handles and such (like a guitar neck using pearl). That purple is soooo eye catching! ...
@

@RyanTheTastyPizzalast year This looks absolutely phenomenal! Incredible work Kyle!
@

@robbie3068last year That handle looks so beautiful! Smooth shape too! 1
@

@TheMeditronlast year That stone came out beautiful! Great work Kyle! 2
@

@derekwilkinson7939last year Beautiful handle, and another skill learned,well done Kyle.
@

@NAFUSO1last year That handle up close resembles Van Gogh's Starry Night. Beautiful.
@

@averagejoe8255last year Kyle,
I have a question. I know you predominantly do blades of all styles shapes and sizes. In this respect you are a Grand Master Smith (in my humble opinion you are unmatched).
Have you ever considered creating a suit of armor? It would be incredible to watch you build your own fully functional battle armor. Something epic in nature. I just wanted to plant this seed because I can only imagine it would provide for a few hundred amazing videos through to completion. What a spectacular documentary it would be.
Again, God bless you Sir. ... 2
@

@BrianRoederlast year As a stone and marbel Mason for 40 years get a akemie repair kit the I always had one chips to breaks .Your work amazing
@

@deadlymist1230last year Beautiful handle, great work as always 1
@

@helix1012last year I don't think words can express the mastery that someone can observe when they see your videos. You have mastered a craft that makes fantasies come to life and it's safe to say that you have inspired me to start working on knives myself. I am starting from zero and have only done a few light decorations on some pocket knife wooden handles. If you see this comment and have time to respond, I would dearly appreciate if you could share some insight on how to start making and working with knives ...
@

@MLMguitarguylast year Been looking forward to this video all day!
@

@diogosouza9127last year Simply perfect! This knife is a work of art!
@

@AndrzejEnDrJuTrzebenskilast year This quote popped into my head while watching this - "Pivot! Pivot! Pivot!".
@

@k.c.whatyoudidtherelast year Love the videos from the entire Royer team! Just binged parts 1-7 like a netflix show, incredible art and skill! 2
@

@maxbrazil3712last year You are a wonderfully pure eccentric and brilliant artist. Bravo!
@

@redwolfknives3174last year Gorgeous work! That turned out so beautiful it doesn’t seem possible! Amazing work Kyle!
@

@jewelryinsiderlast year This is so cool! It is amazing to see knifemakers using gemstones in their work. The black inclusions are actually aegirine which occur in almost all charoite specimens. Also I love how far you dove into the world of lapidary work for this one video, it really shows your dedication to the craft. ...
@

@jacobc874last year I had a blacksmith teach me a great method for squaring those pommel threads. He used his bench vice and a thick rubber spacer washer, with a steel washer on top, so his threading tool sat nice and flush on top of the tang, and could also compress the rubber as he went lower. Helped make sure the first couple threads were perfect so the rest fell into place. ...
@

@jamesquinn8958last year This man is a master craftsman. I'm amazed by damn near everything he creates
@

@ikedewinter1213last year You are Truly a master the most beautiful swords and knives I've seen made in modern times.
@

@FectacularSpaillast year Lately I've gotten hooked on videos of things like knife/sword making, woodworking, metal working, glass blowing, etc. And as much as I love seeing absolute masters of their craft making amazing things, what I really love to see is things like this, where people with the know how decide to experiment and try new things. This was so satisfying. ...
@

@lynneodell4908last year wow well done sir ! love the purple stone ,i have never seen that kind before. 1
@

@kenmarapese9085last year Excellent vid, well photographed and produced!
@

@carlojames5320last year It has become habit now. OHHH YEAH!! It’s Friday! Getting excited you uploaded a video.
@

@erobwenlast year WTF... this is amazing design, so beautiful.
@

@sebk2669last year Kyle, this is INCREDIBLE !!!!!! and the finish... damn ! you are really a master in your art
@

@jonny555ivelast year That looks absolutely beautiful, the grain in that stone is incredible.....I knew, you being the perfectionist that you are, that this was going to be nothing less than, PERFECT, when you were done with it.
Great job Kyle.
Take care, And be safe out there.

@

@dto7321last year That’s amazing. That is next level stuff there. What a challenge. Great work kyle. And josh because his camera work is why we are really able to appreciate this work correctly. 👍🏻
@

@muzzlevelocity4397last year I am not even a huge fan of purple, and that handle look amazing!
@

@lotuselanplus2slast year Beautiful work as always, i think your dagger has named itself, the handle reminds me of VanGough's Starry Night painting. 2
@

@brownie29178 months ago Would be nice to work and learn from you good job mate
@

@RedBeardOpslast year This is an amazing build... What a challenge to tackle!
@

@barryrowe657last year As always a wonderful informative video Kyle, that Dagger is going to be so nice when finished. I can't wait to see the next video.
@

@outbackladaslast year Beautiful, looks amazing, such beautiful colours. Regards from Down Under.
@

@realtalk5626last year wow this looks sooo beautiful- respect
@

@bunyipdanlast year The handle material is amazing ..... reminds me of Van Gough's Starry Night
@

@ferenczieugen2984last year Dear Kyle, the stone handle turned out impressively beautiful but I'm not surprised because I'm used to all your works becoming works of art and I know you pay a lot of attention to even the smallest detail, along with your artistic sense , it's no wonder that if I had to choose a piece made by you I wouldn't be able to choose, however this piece of art is something different from beautiful. Bravo and if I could you would have 1000 likes from me, grade 11 out of 10.
Thank you for sharing and because we can also see something so beautiful. God bless you. ...
