Master Bladesmith Kyle Royer invites you to watch how he makes a custom order sword he calls EXCELSIOR that sold for $65,000. This is the longest sword he has ever made (see specs below) and the most difficult project he has ever done. This sword alone took Kyle four and a half months to complete. The stakes were high and the pressure great, on the verge of failing many times, like when he quenched the sword blade, it had a severe warp he had to deal with and when he etched the blade, he did not know if there would be any ghost lines or broken tile welds. If any of those things were to happen, this whole sword would be ruined and starting over just isn’t an option for this massive project. Please join us in watching this epic full build of a sword the Master calls EXCELSIOR!
