Thanks so much for doing this Kyle! Super happy we were able to get it in just before the world went crazy! You and Josh were just awesome and we need to think of an excuse to bring you back... Thanks again guys. So pleased to have met you both!
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...
Awesome Job! I'm a Football Coach in Texas and it isn't easy the 1st time you try and teach in front of a group. Gets easier over time. Keep up the great work!
Love your work and love that your teaching your skills! Id love to learn someday how to make knives that are even a 10th as good as yours, amazing work man keep it up
This looks like so much fun, I would love a chance on a power hammer one day, also the way you break down the pattern structure is great. Well done mate
Pleased you enjoyed your time down under, great class and a great video. I'm feeling a little envious of those that were able to attend the classes, I'm an Aussie from Queensland who makes the occasional knife, it's good to see a skilled craftsman like yourself passing on your knowledge and skills. Looking forward to part 2.
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 🙏🏻. Hey, did I happen to see Keith Fludder there as well? Thanks for sharing!
Thanks again Kyle I really liked the video. Big shout out to the videographer he is right on and audio as great as well. I look forward to your new videos Ducky
Hey Four check out our online courses at learnknifemaking.com if you’re interested in leveling up your knife making skills Copy that power hammer We just ran in a new 320 amp service to the shop. We can finally handle the electrical requirements of more equipment 👍🏻☕️🔥⚔️ Dad
Hey thanks Robert. We are looking at making another online course just for damascus. Check out learnknifemaking.com Keep Forging On Cheers from the Ozarks my friend Dad
That's a good thing man that you did in that trip 👏 👌 teaching all the best 👍 ways to make a good knife blessings 🙌 bro 🙏 and it's good to have you 👍 back
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.
you taught your dad? I totally thought you like had to be a 2nd or 3rd generation knife maker. that is mind blowing you learned all this in one career...
@KyleRoyerKnives thanks mate. I'm seriously thinking of taking a Japanese knife making course there. My daughter and I are massive forged in fire fans and I have a mate who is a bladesmith who pre covid made knives for chefs and restaurants in Japan. Do you reckon I should take the plunge?
before other countries recognized this method, Indonesia for thousands of years had known this method before, namely a traditional weapon called KERIS 🙏❤️
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 ..... Thanks and my best regards from Athens / Hellas
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
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!
Hey C. J. We have monthly membership classes and online courses where you will have access to hours of Kyle’s detailed teachings. Cheers from the Ozarks my friend Dad
What kind of mind comes up with these patterns the first time? If I stack it like this... Squish it like this... Chop it up like this... Stack it up again like this... Squish it more, but different, like this... I get flowers in my metal!
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!
Was that Jackson Rumble in the background briefly towards the start? He's doing some beautiful Damascus knives. Edit: Hah, I should have waited for the thumbs up at the end...
We are going to make a mosaic damascus online course. Check out learnknifemaking.com if you’re interested in leveling up your knife making skills my friend Keep Forging On Dad
Ahhh.. but isn't that the real sign of a great.. or master craftsman... That he can do the job. With lots of different tools lots of different ways. Of course it would be easier... If your using the same equipment Everytime you do a certain job. And I dare say, your tools aren't cheapy crap tools at home... Lol.
@KyleRoyerKnives You know Kyle ever since I watch you make that beautiful sword. I have gone on and built a basic charcoal forge, and have been trying and heating and pounding red hot metal and have collecting and fabricating tools and equipment and now have the beginning of what is starting to look like a bladesmith shop! 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. Where I will tell you, " TO BE MORE CAREFUL AND NOT MAKE SICK ASS BLADES BECAUSE VERY IMPRESSIONABLE PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF WILL GO OFF AND TRY TO BE LIKE YOU! " You need to be more responsible because irresponsible people like me will stop at nothing to be like you!
We made it home safe! The trip was amazing!
Did you get to see the old Eveliegh railyard with it's Ye olde steam hammer?
A fantastic video so well explained even a idiot like myself who's never forged anything understands what's going on 👍
The guys down under are so lucky to have you there, I just bet you could do that here in Oregon. Hint hint... welcome back home
Kyle, you are an amazing artist. I would love to someday learn from you.
Wow 😳
Teaching is a whole skill on its own. You did a really good job communicating your ideas to the class. Nice job Kyle
Thanks rob

I think teaching people helps take it to the next level. Also getting to use other machines build more "skill diveristy" i think.
Agreed Robert
Good times
Team Royer
I like the difference in ages of the students. its nice to see such a wide spread
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻B H
Team Royer
You're a real inspiration to me as an aspiring knifemaker
This was great. I've always been curious about a damascus technique performed by different hands. Excited for part two!
Wow that’s awesome! I’m sure they were very honored to take a class from you! 🙏
Thanks Michael
Kyle
I love masters that don't mind sharing their knowledge!!! Great video
Thanks Bee
Kyle
Amazing craftsmanship I'm impressed to see you spreading your knowledge and those willing to learn.
You're a craftsman, you do excellent work! Please don't doubt yourself! You have a gift to share and I bet they felt more nervous than you did.

Great to see this video. Tharwa is just on the other side of town and where I bought my sharpening stone. Cheers from Oz!
@KyleRoyerKnives thanks mate. I'm seriously thinking of taking a Japanese knife making course there. My daughter and I are massive forged in fire fans and I have a mate who is a bladesmith who pre covid made knives for chefs and restaurants in Japan. Do you reckon I should take the plunge?
Hey Mark glad you’re here. Enjoy the stone. Cheers from the Ozarks my Ozzy friend
Dad
Maybe try grinding off most of the welds before starting in the forge
It’s best to leave them on as long as possible
The tile need all the help they can get
Dad
Appreciate the info! Excellent vid
Thanks Ian
Kyle
Man that looks like fun, y'all be careful✌
Thanks Michael 👍🏻☕️
They say, Those that can do, those that can't teach. However occasionally someone comes along that can do both. 👍
Hey thanks my friend

Maravilha

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
hola Y acá estamos... excelente video está muy bueno:
🤜🤛👍👏👊
رائع جدا ...انا من دمشق سوريا...الحرب اكلت كل شيء ..
لكن عملكم الفني جدا رائع ..جدا
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!
Hey tim after cutting at 35 degree the tile lay out flat ,in order ,next to each other 👍🏻🔥☕️⚔️
Team Royer
pretty awesome =)
👍🏻🔥☕️
I would love to be one of your classes

What kind of mind comes up with these patterns the first time?
If I stack it like this...
Squish it like this...
Chop it up like this...
Stack it up again like this...
Squish it more, but different, like this...
I get flowers in my metal!
We are getting ready to develop an online course for mosaic damascus

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!
