Watch me make a knife while learning some on the job blacksmithing techniques!
thank you to my buddy Levi for giving me the old springs from his van!
Support me on patreon for voiced over videos!

This gets the medal for most unorthodox use of an angle grinder I've seen. Love it
Phil Vandelay I was thinking what part was unorthodox because he uses it a lot. Then I got to that “aha!” moment. That was a pretty cool use of a grinder.
And yet we are all going to try it at some point.
Nice way to lose your balls and shaft if the wheel shatters and your finger tips of it doesn't.
again thank you Mr DiResta for showing me something i didnt think of.
What a great way to put in the fuller.I had seen stuff like that done in woodworking so DUH of course it would work likea charm for this also.
THIS is why i watch artists and craftsmen like you Mr. DiResta.
I am so happy you just picked up another hammer and kept going. Just seemed very satisfying to me.
seems to me like a drummer breaking his sticks and replacing them in a second jajaja it looks like it happens very often
Hahaha
You have an eye for the task and you are an inspiration. Could not get away from the video for 12 minutes and 37 seconds. Thanks for showing us.
I watch your videos for a long time now, and this type of "classic" video is my favourite type. Just the making process without any ballast. Greetings from germany and keep on making things like this masterpiece.
Idk, but somtimes putting on some really chill music, turning down the youtube volume and just be amazed by the craftsmanships is real soothing for the soul!
Loving the "old Diresta" style with the new camera -- the improvement in video quality takes it to the next level!
2 years later and still my favourite knife build on RUclips.
I clicked on this to see how you added the fuller. Did not disappoint. Looks great..
OH! MY! GOD! THIS IS A KNIFE! MOST TALENTED CRAFTSMAN ON RUclips, BESIDE THIS "OTHER" SWORDMAKER! Diresta, you are a legend.
Your table angle grinder setup is by far the scariest, most ingenious setup I've ever witnessed. I love how your brain works. keep it up bud

Of all the things you're good at, your band saw skills are the most impressive.
This is one of those videos I enjoy watching over and over again!!!

Love your channel

I never felt bored watching you Jimmy working on this Monster again and again
Hello Mr DiResta, I just wanted to give you a well intended FYI. It's not usual practice in Blacksmithing to use cutting tools directly against the face of the anvil. The little step down between the horn and the face is called the cutting table, it's normally not hardened so it can be used as such without blunting your tools (or marring the face). For something too big for the table (like that beast of a knife) a cutting saddle or plate is used on the face to protect it. All the best from Blighty, great channel.

Jimmy, it still amazes me how many different ways you use to do things. Whatever works! Also, can't wait to watch you make a gorgeous leather sheath for it! Love the videos man!
* Crocodile Dundee meets Jimmy*
"Good God that is a knife!!!"
It's Dundee approved !!
The amount of hours and hard work is impressive not to mention the beauty of it all
What a beast of a knife!?! The swift hammer replacement made me burst out with turgid laughter. It is that kind of inane ability and knowledge through years of incessant creativity and vitality, and the top notch content that will always make me love you more Jimmy! You're a Motherfracking genius! Lots of love!
Schlomo Yarlabach hahah thank you 🙏🏼
+jimmydiresta how much for that bowie or to mske me one like it
This video is Diresta as F. I mean that in the best way possible. I always love how your videos showcase your creativity. That's a hell of a knife too. Strong work, Jimmy.
Nice work what a beautiful blade 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
My favourite build after your drill restoration. Yes I spelt favourite as an Australian. Love your work Sir
So, I love what you did with this piece, Jimmy. It's functional, and it's got a certain aesthetic quality to it. That said, it's hard to get a scale from the video, but I think you left "knife" territory about 6 inches ago. It's more of a Bowie Short Sword at this point. That doesn't stop me from wanting about ten of them.
Every one of your videos is a journey into your creative mind and this one is no different. When that hammer broke I thought "Oh no, what's he gonna do now? Where's he gonna get another hammer." but then I remembered that you have like a thousand of them. :-) Thanks for all the inspiration!
I wonder where that chunk of metal has been and what it has seen in its life as a leaf spring. And now a new life as a famous knife.
Oh! Crocodile Dundee is back! Great job. Congratulations from Brazil.
u know hes a real g, when he wears a gopro around his neck 👌

I have an old hunk of steel I found while installing solar for a farmer....likely a tine off a plow or disc or something....anyway, I was hoping to make something with it, similar to this.
Looks like I need quite a few more tools. And talent.
Excellent work, sir. That's a beauty.
I love how he just throws the handle of the broken hammer and picks up a new one and keeps workung
Learn to write!
Mr DiResta, you never cease to Amaze me.
"That's not a knife, that's a knife!" :'D it reminds me really much on the Bowie Crocodile Dundee uses :D
WOW! That was something else! Thanks for letting us watch.........................
.
Techniques, ideas & completion, fabulous from start to finish, like we saw a master Smith in the arsenal of the ancients. Brought recollections of a Hollywood movie where the Smith adds a meteorite to the melt from which Bowie's knife is made. Thanks for sharing!
Springwood Cottage 🤮
After I read about the origin of the Bowie knife and how it was first described and used, this is the size that comes to mind.
This is an incredibly beautiful knife..The girth of it!!! I would love to make one this scale. Also borrowing your idea with the angle grinder anchored to the table :)
Some of the best vids on the RUclipss...good job sir
that is an absolute beast of a knife :) looks awesome!
Curious Creator
true. 🔪
Henri Aho หมอลลำชิง้
Tremendous skill. Can simply do the design on the blade roughly by eye. True artisan
The New Diresta should have talked to The Classic Diresta into using the CNC for the brass and wood, and used the Torchmate to do the profile of the steel. 😜😂. Tons of tips in this video, great one Jim! Next up a sheath?
That angle grinder blood groove setup is the coolest thing I've seen all week! Nice
Holllllyyyyyyy smokes! you're gunna need 3/4 of a cow hide to sheath that bugger :)
Fantastic job!
All that from a leaf spring....WOW,impressive!! That lets me know if I ever need one I know where to go!!
Love the spring clips on the cuffs at 8.15, to all the safety trolls who say Jimmy doesn't do PPE, lol. Keep up the good work, see you at Birmingham.
Miracles. Excellent work. The result is phenomenal.
Very cool. The handle reminds me of the Buck 110.
Nathan Waters - I thought the exact same thing!
Me too!
Duh.
Pretty sure that was the intended look he was going for right from the get go. I believe he has a certain affection for those knives.
I couldn't keep from thinking.... that you might be thinking ....of the thief who stole your trailer while you made this beast. Looked like a fun build.
I like the Buck Knife style handle
Chris Hutchins I thought the handle was spot on Buck myself. Looks awesome.
Awesome job and video which is plenty of clever tricks I've never seen before. The shape reminds me the one Croc Dundee's carries in the movie in that very scene when he cuts that punk's jaket "This is a knife!". Congrats mate! Love it.
Jimmy Diresta laughs in the face of shop safety.
Great knife, man. Love all your vids!
That is a nice piece, very nice and made with real talent.
Is that chopper for dealing with the people that stole your trailer ? Awesome
Huge knife?This is HUGE knife!It's a beautiful Bowie...great work & i LOVE IT!
Jimmy's logic: if it can't shave your arm, is not ready yet
I have to say that's really good craftsmanship.
12:05 When you're having a rough day at work, and you finally take your lunch break.
WOW...That's one impressive knife making video! Very well done! Love you wearing the Rolex Sub while fabricating that monster. You crack me up!
*Wow! Fantastic* 😱😱 I would like to make one like this.👍
Leaf Springs is the main ingredient in making Knives in Sri Lanka. They pretty much don't use anything else before 2010.
But I haven't seen anybody get creative with them like you! Impressive!!
Thumbs up if your watching this in bed and thinking i hate my job and wish i had Jimmys skills.
Get out of bed, go make something. Just start!
We all can have his skills with practice
Some skills are natural talent and we'll never have them.
@@DavidPlass Its more the WILL to get going...matter of how much you want to get skilled.
Thank you,,, I'm not alone
Mr. Diresta, you always have a unique approach to skinning a cat. I imagine you would tack weld the cat to a known thickness of metal and then proceed to machine fillet the skin from the cat. To each their own, I appreciate in the fullest someone that does not think inside a box.
Paduak? Coco? Mahagony? Bloodwood? Wats the wood man?
B A D A S S! Wicked Bro!
Classic Diresta! 😆
Genuinely a fantastic video / build. Angle grinder jig is inspired. Jimmy you should go on Joe Rogan podcast, I'm sure you have lots of common ground. Bet he subscribes to you.
Sir, I loved how you did the scales. I loved the extra rivets in the Bolster. I loved the rustic unfinished look.
I really enjoy these knife videos. Amazing work as always 👍👍

Man Jimmy, going at that massive chunk of leaf spring with that tiny hammer must have taken you forever! Results look great.
clever on that fuller! looks like a great EDC. ;)
This Old Tony WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?! TONY MACHINES A BOWIE KNIFE ON THE LATHE?!
Tony watching diresta mind blowm
Good ablity and art ,i enjoid it
love that improvised surface grinding , very clever
Time to make a sweet leather sheath. Recommend you watch “Book of Eli” for your motivation.
Very nice end product ,,,interesting way of putting the fuller in,,,,well done.
That's a beautiful beast! I love the steam coming off the burrito. 😉 Seriously though, you always make me want to do whatever it is you make. Thank you for being an awesome inspiration!
Hi DiResta I am 14 and from germany and I don't speek english very well but I love your videos and I think you are doing a great job.
Amazing Video!!!
awesome as always... but what no custom leather sheath? like a crock dun dee back rig? hehe
I was waiting for the sheath as well. Maybe for another video

I have a set of leaf springs from a '55 Chevy that I plan on making one with. Great video
That’s a sweet knife

That has got to be the King of Bowie knives. I LoVe it.
If you're old enough, remember your "Crocodile Dundee" - "That's not a knife, THIS is a knife."
I see you've played knifes-spooney before.
@@njmcliffe "Now THAT'S a knife, mate!"
Truly from a sow’s ear to silk purse. Well done lad.
the Godfather at it again.
I love this. Watched it 5 x' s so far. Thanks Jimmy. Obsession has a place. And it is good!
nice :D i thought for a while that you would make a brass handle with wooden pegs, that would have been so cool/funny :D the handle you ended up making looks really awesome though and is probably more practical :)
Zzzarka I really love this idea!
nice to see someone finally using a fly cutter.
how it should be done.
As one Dundee would have said:
"Now THAT'S a knwife"
*Knoife
I am a Smith from Washington state i love the blacksmithing videos you are doing
Me: “Why on God’s earth would you need a knife that big?!”
Jimmy: *chops entire meal in half*
Me: “seems necessary”
One word: Zombies!
don`t you have sometimes useless telephone sales man, mormons or bounty hunters at your door???
Diresta Panini Slicer....
Innovative build. Old school look on a "Dundee" knoif. I like it.
You are amazing, artist go ahead

Why is this so relaxing to watch?

"Just kids havin' fun"
God damn, that's exactly what i was thinking of!!!
yeah Mick Dundee will be dropping by Jimmy's place to get his knife back.
great work Jimmy
Maaaaate, that's not a knife, that's a bloody woodsplitter!
But.. did Kimmy got the kiss ? lol
Jimmy *
I think you might jhst give Crocadile Dundee a run for his money on "that's not a knife, this is a knife" argument. Nicely done. Love the brass work on this one for sure. Kind of gives it that old-school look. NICE!
#classicdiresta Love it, I like the how some of the forging is still visible.
..
That is the most beautiful ugly beast I've ever seen!!
Those rusty side marks in the blade are poetry! It impregnates her with a strong personality like marks of a person's own rough life...
Very nice job indeed, sir.
Jimmy, it is crude. It is ugly. It has no balance. It uses glue (Bowie is spinning in his grave). It has a ridiculous number of rivets. I can't say enough how ugly it is. It's gonna rust. Did I mention it's ugly?
Please, Jimmy, I'll trade you my firstborn for it...
DaDa Fan 😂😂😂😂😂😨😨😨😂😂😂😂😂
Shrewd negotiating, but how would Jimmy know your crotchfruit will be worth a damn.... especially on your first try? What if it's ugly and full of rivets too?
I negotiate from strength... he retired at age 43.
Haha! Good shit.
LOL
As usual, it is a very nice job. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your skills.
WoW brother I like it good job very nice project to much love later :)
