Hey, knife enthusiasts! It's Kyle Royer, and I'm excited to share the journey of creating this exceptional knife with you. In this video, I guide you through the intricate process of forging a Damascus blade. We delve into the details of the composite twist pattern, using 1084 and 15N20 steel strips, revealing the unique craftsmanship that went into it.
From the challenges of 24-karat gold inlay in the carbon fiber handle to setting my first diamond on the pommel nut, every moment of this creation is captured. You'll witness the meticulous work involved in achieving the perfect finish, from applying the 2K finish to the handle to the careful assembly of the components.
I share the ups and downs, including setbacks like having to redo the finish and overcoming hurdles during the gold plating process. It's a rollercoaster of emotions, but the end result is truly stunning.
And the grand reveal - a knife that combines a distinctive composite twist Damascus blade, a 24-karat gold-plated takedown tool, and a pommel with a black diamond. This piece showcases new techniques, like the ingrained carbon fiber on the handle sides, making it a one-of-a-kind addition to my collection.
This is a beautifully crafted knife that's a testament to patience, skill, and the love of the craft. Let's embark on this forging adventure together! 🔪✨

I don't think 50mins have passed by so quickly when watching a build video. As a non maker the balance between stages, detail and progress flower seamlessly. Another Master piece from a Master maker. The gold plated take down tool was one of those happy accidents that perhaps worked with the piece better than the original idea. Thanks for sharing the journey

@@bastange8856 I make knives myself mate, and totally agree with you on the hours put into it. You never get the true worth of the knife.

Kyle, this was a remarkable video and I particularly loved the stone setting part and how you practiced to do the stone setting on a fake diamond first , you are a perfectionist and I absolutely love the way you don't rush things just to make it fairly acceptable , it needs to be perfect. Pablo Cimadevila is another RU-vidr I love to watch , watching how hard it is to make a stone properly fit inside a metal , it makes my respect jewelery makers even more.

@hiramdavis2199

and another note i would like to add.... i admire how you are willing to start completely over on anything that didnt come out "right". As oppose to being like "Well it ALMOST fits....maybe after i add a shim and some filler it will fit better" lol no sir if it doesnt fit, in your mind the only option is to completely redue it so it fits how its meant to fit. That takes patience. especially once you consider the amount of hours it takes to do each step. sorry for the long comments, im just very impressed (and in love i think) with this knife. im obviously a knife enthusiast as well with a very large collection and a very amateur beginner knife maker as well. and with all the knives ive seen and all the books and articles ive read on knife crafting, it really takes alot to impress me with a knife (not to sound arrogant, but once you seen them all theres seldom anything "new". so.....good job, good work, and good shit.
