    there are some very useful commentary so thank you all of the information!

      Wow, that turned out surprisingly elegant. I didn't think you could get such a pleasing shape from a file without smithing.
      Did you temper the knife off-camera?

      +Destichado this was what i was going to ask him as well tempering is key and as he kept the knife all steel he can still go back and temper it

      Even he has mentioned in previous videos that he's not an expert in making knives, so you expert guys can go slow on him. As always he does a great job and with practice he will learn all of those techniques.

    Jimmy, you are truly an expert craftsman and an inspiration to me. I've been watching you make things for a very long time, and I know for a fact that everything you create is art. It's perfection, and I've grown to accept nothing less from you. Anyone who would oppose that is simply incorrect. Keep doing you, man. Cheers.

  • @hardwaylearnt
    @hardwaylearnt 9 лет назад +6

    Jimmy, I like this learning by doing. Here are a couple of techniques to try out.
    To get your bevels even, paint the edges of the blade blank with dyechem or nail polish, then clamp a drill bit that is the same diameter as the thickness of your blade to the work bench so that the point is toward the center of the bench. Then place the blade flat on the bench and and slide it along the tip of the drill bit so that the center of the bit scratches a line in the dyechem at the center of the thickness. Then grind each side to the line to keep it even.
    I would also suggest a larger quench tank. To properly harden most carbon steels require a faster quench than a small can of oil can provide. Some steels need other quenchants too and it can be tough to know if you got it properly hardend one file it may work the next may not if it has a different composition.
    Third I suggest heating the entire knife evenly at each stage that it is in the forge. This will make the overall quality of the heat treat better. For annealing the color looked about right, heat the entire blade to above it's critical temp (where it no longer attracts a magnet) then allow it to slowly cool in the forge. This will soften the steel and make it the most workable. You did this but not to the tang end to that was likely harder on your grinding belts than it needed to be. Then use a hacksaw, sawsall, or angle grinder for your rough shaping of the profile. It will go much faster and save your belts.
    Next normallize the steel several times by heating it above critical and allowing it to air cool outside of the forge. this is to normalize the grain structure in the steel you want it small. Don't get it too hot to where the carbon starts sparking off as this is over heating and it will make the grains too large and the knife will easily break.
    Then when you are ready to for final heat treat, heat it only to critical, checking it agianst a magnet as it gets close to the temp. You will also see the shaddow the recalescense move through the steel as it reaches temp and its crystal structure changes. (its a clue taht the carbon in the steel is in solution.) Then immediately quench it in a tank of sufficient size to bring the temp down rapidly. Once it is cool and clean of oil temper in an oven. The temp used will vary based on the steel but a good experimental range to try out is between 300 and 450.
    All that to say I am enjoying your videos thanks for the effort you put in.

    Watching these videos put me to sleep. I think it's the fast forwarding. Not saying that Jimmy doesn't make some quality stuff and that I don't enjoy the videos. I just can't binge watch without taking a nap. I remember I used to hate DiResta videos on Make because they never showed me how to make stuff, but now I found that I love them. I don't know how you can hate these videos. You don't even say much, you just make cool stuff, and that's cool.

      It's not because he thinks it's cool to have his name everywhere, it's because people like to steal video footage. The more you have your name in there the harder it is for some cheap idiot to get free subs because people think he or she can make knives or whatever else a video is of. Make sense?

  • @brokenrecord3523
    @brokenrecord3523 7 лет назад

    nice work that ended in a very nice knife. Words to the wise: 1. older files are often case hardened (carburized) where the carbon is only in the outer layer. This is most common with rasps, but files too. Once you grind off all that, you have soft, unhardenable steel. Knives are a lot of work to not know your starting material. 2. I didn't see a tempering step - makes for a very brittle blade. I know Jimmy knows that, but not all the viewers do. 3. Might not be enough quenchant for that much metal. How fast you take the heat away matters and this oil would get very hot.

      I notice that you didn't do any normalization before or tempering after the quench...
      I understand you might have cut out normalization, (heating the blade to 1500f and letting cool to room temperature two or three times, it relieves stresses in the steel and refines grain structure. making the steel stronger) and if you just quench the steel it'll be almost glass hard, you can temper the easy way, a good hour soak at 450-475f *or* you can carefully feather a pencil torch on the center of the blade until you start to see the first tinges of brown or blue on the peak. you want the edges to be a light gold/straw color. I personally prefer the oven method. less likely to over-soften the blade.

      +jimmydiresta you used that diresta branded press machine to emboss the logo on sheath. Did you made that press machine from a pneumatic car jack?

    I finally get it why he likes to make knives - to shave his forearms!
    A different sharpness test: get a sun-ripened but still hard tomato (hint: not from the supermarket - those are often plucked green then ripened the same way bananas are, and are rubbery enough that any blade gets stuck in them, without a bit of additional applied force). Let the tomato fall on the blade from about 2" height. It will roll off a dull blade, barely get nicked by a so-so blade, cut deeply by a sharp one and sliced through by a blade that's both sharp, well polished and thin.

  • @scottpecora371

    Jimmy: one thing you might consider is playing around with the font size and style of your name. An create an emblem that accompanies your name. I mean look at Nike, BMW, Mercedes, all the auto makers have emblems. It just struck me, the Name Diresta is a good product name, but sometimes less is more when it comes to advertising your name on your product. Wishing you the best of luck, Scott
