Hey, I’m Kyle Royer. I started making knives because I was fascinated by the craft but had no idea where to begin. That’s why I built this Starter Course — to make it simple, clear, and beginner-friendly so you can skip the confusion and start making your first knife with confidence.

“Kyle’s courses helped me rekindle a lifelong passion for craftsmanship — and more importantly, brought me and my 78-year-old dad closer than we’ve been in 15 years. A true blessing.”Â

"At first, I wasn’t sure I could make a knife… but this course used the same basic tools I already had! I grew up dreaming about swords and knives, but when I first tried making a blade on my own, it was frustrating and rushed.
Finding this course completely changed my mindset. Watching Kyle slow down and focus on the details made everything click. I finally understood the importance of patience — and for the first time, everything just flowed: profiling, sanding, shaping the handle.
Thank you Kyle for making it possible for a simple guy like me to create something beautiful. Everything I build from now on will be better because of what I learned here!"
