After Soaking In Acid, This Knife Is Done ✅

In this video, I'm working on making a special dagger with a stone handle called "Serenity." The Serenity Dagger is almost done, but before I finish it, I decide to dip the blade in a special acid called ferric chloride. This acid will make a cool pattern called a mosaic on the blade. First, I clean the blade really well, and then I put it in the acid. I'm super excited to see how it turns out!
Next, I use coffee to make the blade darker and bring out the pattern even more. It takes a few tries to get it just right, but in the end, I get the look I want. Then, I put a shiny wax finish on it to protect it and make it look even better.
Now that the blade is etched, darkened, and shiny, I work on the fittings. I sand them until they are super smooth and shiny too. Then, I use a special process called gun bluing to create my black mirror finish.
Finally, I sharpen the dagger so that it's super sharp and ready to use. I put all the pieces together, including the stone handle, dark blade, and black fittings with gold inlays.
I'm so happy with how the Serenity Dagger turned out, especially with the stone handle that I've been wanting to try for a long time. I want to tell all of you not to be afraid to try new things and take on challenges in your own projects. It's so much fun to see what you can create! May the Forge Be With YOU!

how much would you sell this knife for? is 25k enough?
What Caranuba wax do you use?
Stunning knife, for the fittings have you ever tried micro mesh sandpaper?
That is so beautiful Kyle!!!! I enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Beautiful work
This is the type of ceremonial blade you could have handed to a king as a gift. There is so much to look at with this piece.
I agree, its that worthy.
Yes Louie the 14th king of France would have approved of this dagger
And be named chief smith shortly afterwards.
Every time I see a new blade from you, I can't believe you could make a better one. Then you go ahead and make an even better one. Fantastic work!
Way to make fun of people that died on the titanic dude
@@lolwut6666absolutely mortifiying how they used a movie clip!! this is devastating
In 1000 years, these knives will be in the museum.
Kyle, you're hands down one of the greatest bladesmiths of all time. Your attention to detail, creative vision and level of meticulousness is unmatched as far as I'm concerned.
They really need higher work benches. His spine is a 90 degree bend for hours a day!
@@tbrowniscool I can agree with that.
Yes you correct sir. The Craftsmanship is just on another level. The dagger looks enchanted for Christ sakes.
I see a Kyle Royer video, I click. This man is not making knives. This is pure artwork. When you have reached this level of time and knowledge in any craft you are making pure fine art in my opinion. Amazing work, can't get enough!
This is what's called functional art.
First of all, why can a knife not be a art? Secondly, this is much more of a knife than a piece of art. I can smear a pound of butter into a corner of a museum and call it art and I need 0 skills at anything for that.
My favourite part about all your builds, is how much of your soul you poor into them. This dagger is incredibly beautiful. Well done!
I didn't think I would like an S guard on a dagger... It's actually pretty cool, I love the entire build from tip to sheath! And thank you for everything you do for us beginning knife builders out here trying to piece together information! God Bless ✝️
That is honestly the most beautiful knife I've ever seen. I love the Damascus design. It looks almost like leaves or petals up close, but it looks like scales from a distance.
Your work is just so next level!
Clover pattern? I think that's a fitting name
This it the man I can believe is a modern bladesmith.
The Dagger is something I would see a King wear in throne room. Something to never be used but always admired, until the day someone attempts to kill him and he stab's them with it, showing it was a functional beauty all along.
Great short story!😊
Absolutely beautiful knife 🔪 buddy nice job!.blessings 👍 👌
Just a awesome piece brother. That’s the coolest dagger I have ever seen in my lifetime. You rock dude
This is by far the most beautiful blade I've seen made, well done!
Every time I watch you make a blade I realize I still have a long way to go!
Another amazing piece of art! I want one of your pieces so bad...
As a craftsman, you stand alone at the very top in your attention to detail. You rarely see perfection in art. But damn you've done it again.
The shots with the LED strip around the etch tube were amazing. Great idea. Amazing dagger fellas.
This blade deserves awards.
The day i saw one of your blades,i was hooked. What an amazing art of blacksmithing.
Oh wow. The finish and pattern on this blade is absolutley next level. Holy crap was not excpecting that
When you put this in the serenity playlist, you can officially move it into the completed projects group, congratulations
that's a masterpiece. the royal purple in the handle mixed with the gold and crazy damascus layout. looks like something designed for royalty.
You are an absolute Jedi when it comes to bladesmithing, my friend. 👌🏼
Wow, just wow! Your knives are incredible!!
You are an artist mate! I am a mere mortal in the presence of a more beautiful and everlasting object. Even being able to see it is breathtaking, I can't imagine how it would feel to hold it. Watching this legitimately made me feel small. Like peering into a piece of fantasy....
You keep outdoing yourself with your knives and daggers. The mosaic is phenomenal and that stone handle is great. I can’t believe that you could find a stone that great quality and size that you could make a handle.
You are setting the standard, Kyle.
i love that pattern, looks like dried leaf during autumn . very pleasing look
This is hands down my favorite piece I've seen you make!
THIS is an awesome piece Kyle. The way the handle plays in the light with almost silver flecks in it. I wonder what this would look like with a turquoise or chrysocolla handle. In any case, I think the purple is absolutely gorgeous. Congratulations!!
No words could properly describe that beauty...
By far You are The King's Favorite Knife Maker in all of His Royer Land and are ours also, cheers Mate..
Very beautiful dagger and insane craftsmanship! Good job! Btw this guy gives me Doug DeMuro vibes lol.
Kyle.... This is art on a multiple angle... Beautiful result!
Kyle's passion and enthusiasm is top notch
You and black dragon forge... Incredible
You are just a one of a kind craftsman Kyle. Truly. This dagger is jaw-dropping beautiful.
Another work of art. Amazing.
This is why I like to watch you work, you treat every piece like it's your first-born.
Wow I am in awe of your ability. Artwork doesn't say it at all. Its something more that there is no word for.
So beautiful Kyle. Thanks for sharing this journey with us.
You should be proud of this accomplishment, absolutely phenomenal Kyle! Been a fan of yours since I seen you on FIF. Keep up the great work! Your videos have inspired me to get into knife making and smithing as well, hope to get into it soon. Absolutely gorgeous dagger. That is a work of art and worthy of any king.
Absolutely spectacular craftsmanship, Royer group! Each piece outdoes the last… cannot wait for the next one. Keep up the spectacular work, all of you!
If they ever made a museum of blacksmithing I sincerely hope they add your work in an exhibit.
That's a work of art, absolutely beautiful! I love every single part of it, including its sheath. You're so talented Kyle. It's perfect. The pattern of the Damascus is just wow! I cant wait to see where you take it with the dtone handles after this and what a level to start from!
