I love how he estimates jail time to go along with each knife
I got to meet one of NYC's finest last year when he spied the clip of my SOG (Twitch XL) as I exited a Duane Reade . I didn't get to eat dirt or spend time in jail, but he did have an awful lot of questions about a knife that was perfectly legal, even in NYC. My favorite was: "Who carries a knife like that?" My answer was: "everyone in Texas." I don't think he was amused, but his partner laughed.
Anton Olsen yes they seem very out of touch with the average working man...thank you !
jimmydiresta i tuck my knives when i see em coming
so glad (selfishly) I'm apart of an exclusive 421 thousand something string club viewing this man. Followed you ever since I saw your AK-47 guitar and in that time I've watched every video, with my dad, religiously everytime a video comes out, having little competitions to see who saw it first. Strange that a man in America can bring together everyone all over the world. Just what the world needs right now.
Love your videos, love your TV shows, I love your style, I love you man.

Hah thank you brother !!!
Thank you brother sorry I didn't see this sooner!!
I'm from Iran i love your work and so I'm a lineman., your clips are My favorite show thank you jimmy
By the way, the blade at around 12:20, you said it was by "Rostfrei" Rostfrei is stainless in German :)
I used to do the same mistake too!
Notrollhere as in Rust Free :)
+Notrollhere actually rost fei means rust free because stainless steal is called edelstahl
Rakadis по
Rostfreier Stahl or Edelstahl are synonyms in German. In Swedish we say Rostfritt stål. So Rakadis is correct...
The knife at 13:34 is a French Laguiole. Those go from 60$ up to 150+
I'm glad you finally decided to show us DiResta your knives
I recently stumbled upon one of your videos and then ran a viewing marathon watching MANY more. You are truly a VERY talented craftsman and with that said I'm now a new subscriber looking forward to all of your upcoming projects!
+J.R. Romero Thank you !!!!!!!
+jimmydiresta Could you try to make a balisong (Butterfly Knife) Now that would go good with your collection
Me aswel started watching yesterday have watched 10 in a row
Same here. I just started following links until I saw the "Which blade I" video, and then I watched the "Dagger from File" video - I'm having a marathon! LOL
I literally started the same way.. I sort of just came upon him. Now I binge watch him on my late nights. I'm hoping to start my own projects soon.
Nice collection.. It would be cool if you made a knife sharpening tutorial.
Jonathan Milbury Ditto that thought. And thanks for the video, and congrats on 200k. You're on the way to a cool million....
Jonathan Milbury I use a Lansky Standard kit lansky.com/index.php/products/std-3-stone-system/ for the kitchen blades - with a little patience you can get a "horror movie" edge ("sharp" does not do it justice!) There are plenty of videos out there to show you how.
Jonathan Milbury What? The hundred or more various knife sharpening videos that are already available on youtube aren't enough? You've got to be kidding.
Jonathan Milbury Queen
Small enough to fit my pocket... big enough to get arrested. Hahahahaha
you're the man Jimmy! I was an interior trim carpenter for 6 years, i built built in bookcases, staircases, tricked out ceilings, ect. it was the most rewarding job because i could get a sense of accomplishment and pride in my work. I've been into building things since i can remember. you have some great tips and youre truly a master craftsman. the best part is you make a living doing what you love. keep making great videos. thanks for sharing.
I really liked how casually you mentioned your brother returning from his honeymoon in Italy with 25 switchblades to give away as if that's a normal outcome for honeymoons.
You live in a pretty cool world Jimmy.
My dad's first pocket knife was a Case. He got it when he was 10 years old, 1908. It's still around, blades sharpened on Arizona granite boulders. When I got a knife in 1953, it was a Sears pocket knife. Dad called it a case knife. I told him it was a Sears knife, but his father, who was a Captain in the Union Army taught him to call any folding knife a "case" knife because it folded into its own case.
Apparently "Case" knife came along and took advantage of the name so when a cowboy or ranch hand went to buy a case knife, he got himself a genuine Case knife. ----- just a little trivia. Stay tuned, I'm full of it. Just ask my ex-wife. Uh, on second thought, don't say anything to her!!!
Wait 1908?
Jimmy, the Leatherman jams when the tools are loose. The pliers will get under them and jam tight. If you find which side is loose you can use gravity to keep the tools closed so the pliers close after them. Or you can get a couple of safety torx and tighten the tools and you won't have that problem anymore. If this isn't clear, I can take some pics to show you what I mean.
I have been making, modifying, and restoring stuff for a living for more than 50 years. I always learn something valuable and interesting from your videos. I am impressed and have great respect for the depth and breadth of your knowledge and skills. Many thanks for sharing your work.
i LOVE that little Italian switchblade story....on EVERY single one of my many trips to Italy , i came back with knives .....i am of Italian ancestry as well....WHY do we love knives SOO much????....my folder collection is closing in on 300
You have a sick collection out there :) I have 3 folding knives and I am thinking about some multitool :)
Trolskyyyy!!!!!!!
:)
Thank you for watching brother! You are an inspiration!
Almost 6 years later, I'd like to see the collection now.
Jimmy, your videos encouraged me to finally buy my own center lathe, after I worked with one for some time and I always wanted to have one at my workshop at home.
Thank you for that :)
Thank you , Thank you , Thank you for everything you showed to us , and teach us and all the practical rich knowledge you provide for us, we are all very much fortunate to find you in you tube.
I like that you have some cheap but good knives as well as used knives. I'm the same way however I never see anyone else like that on RUclips. I'm now subscribed thanks.
rostfrei isnt a company just means the steel is stainless
I saw/heard that also at 12:12...Kissing Crane were made in Germany...hard to find the 13 inchers nowadays...good video too...
Enjoyed this video. Saw a few I had back in the 60’s and 70’s. Fun memories.
Just drank about a 1/4 o a handle watching your videos. I love them, keep them coming!
great collection.. you just got another subscriber..
Thank you !!
+jimmydiresta how long have you been collecting knives

USA, you have the right to bear arms, but not knives? Signed: Confused Canadian.
Depends on where you are. New York is one of the worst. Certain states and cities are much more relaxed, but there's typically very little logic applied to knife laws in general. You can get a permit to carry a firearm, but certain knives are still not allowed. As if any knife you could possibly have is gonna do more damage than a gun.
There are places in the U.S. where you can carry any kind of gun, but not some kinds of knives. Why? Probably because the knife industry doen't have the kind of lobbying muscle that the gun industry has.
not always, in the "bumfuck nowhere" regions of the US noone cares. in some rural counties I've carried a machete in public and noone bats an eye.
reaper1874 , I think when they wrote the constitution "the right to bear arms" had the English meaning (only nobility had the right to bear arms, all others, commoners didn't have that right for fear of arousals). in America now arms mean rifles for the colonials to hunt in my opinion
It's mostly do to people getting stabbed but all lot of states allow automatics with a couple exceptions
I loved YR collection Mr Diresta,I used to have same Passion for knife's but then i stop d collecting.But after watching you video i started again.
Thanks for letting us see you in slow motion. Love your work and your knife collection.Thanks for sharing a little piece of your world, love this site.
Congrats on 200K Jimmy! Anyone stupid enough to attempt an assault on the shop is in for a surprise...
Jimmy, in regard to the "Ian" knife (12:51), I have a very slender pen knife (pen clip) with identical locking mechanism, also with "IAN" stamped on the base of the blade, "Made in Brazil" on the othar side. Embossed on the blade is "Executive Edge" with the registered trademark icon. Love the thing because so unique and handy, always available in shirt breast pocket. Got it decades ago when you could still find knife stores in shopping malls. Tried to find more on internet a few years back, learned the outfit that made them went broke, but supposedly a few show up on Ebay every now & then. Wish I had also bought a model like yours, looks much sturdier.
That's is right. It is made by a Brazilian knife maker who invented that pen style pocket knife. At first he was making knives at his backyard.. literally and then, the high quality on his work turned him into a specialist. Nowadays those knives are expensive, even in Brazil and some of them are made of a custom metal mix he invented. Such a nice thing! I've met the man. Simple guy with a lot of talent. He gave me one piece with my name on it. Nice gift!!
The correct name is LAN

Nice collection Jim. Love knives and love to see collections. Thanks for sharing!
Finally got around to watching this video. I enjoy getting to know more of the personality of Jimmy. Cool vid.
No balisongs :{ I always keep one in my drawer
***** More commonly known as butterfly knives
Ace Coyote yeah I was waiting for a balisong to appear LOL
***** www.google.com.ph/search?q=balisong&es_sm=93&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=x7xsVfTwBNP48QWrkoPAAw&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1366&bih=663#imgrc=3mnpiV73nAT0EM%253A%3B7L5BHQtaCsGtOM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fstatic.giantbomb.com%252Fuploads%252Fscale_small%252F1%252F13313%252F1167724-balisong.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.giantbomb.com%252Fbalisong%252F3055-2898%252F%3B320%3B255
Ace Coyote i was upset to see no balisongs or Kershaw blades
Balisongs are illegal in most of America
Damn dude, the way you describe New York cops, you should move here to texas XD
Enjoyed looking at and hearing about you collection. I have watched many of your videos and have enjoyed them, I'm 73 and jjust started my first knife collection. I am having a good time collecting and watching knife vids. Keep up the good work. Thank you again. Stan The Man
have a wonderful weekend also. you truly are the Man ! hope to see some more of your awesome stuff !
Anna Nicole? Did you mean Nicole Brown Simpson? Anna Nicole Smith Overdosed. Anyway, I was going to say, I have one of the original SOG prototypes that they made for the SEALs. A guy from SEAL team 4 gave it to me when I was a medic in the Navy years ago. I super glued a gash on his palm from a Canadian Mist bottle. (Just ask and I'll tell you the whole story) He had (training) the next day and didn't want to go to the base ER and get an "alcohol related incident" He gave me the SOG knife and a Luminox watch. I tried to refuse, but he was like, "sh*t Doc, I'll just tell em' I lost it and they will issue me another."
cbond99 Tell us the whole story?
Dude, you have more knives than I have dollars. lol
I was so affixed on that blue handle switchblade as soon as it switched to that gag knife I loled so hard, completely threw me off!! 😂😂 good one man! Nice collection!
Don't have a Rolex, but do have an IWC dive watch and a Ball dress watch. I wear one of them every day. I stopped carrying the Buck 110 my Dad gave me in 1977, the blade is getting narrow. I bought myself a Grayman Dua. Great knife.
Preach on brother man.
You should make a video showing how to covert to automatic blade
12.25 Anna Nicole Smith wasn't stabbed to death, she died from a drug overdose
I think he was thinking of OJ Simpson...
Guys, Read the description.
Miles Durham
probably Nicole Brown, dunno. Just a guess.
Kay
Wow! Amazing collection. Thanks for sharing.
I could spend hours watching all videos you make please keep them coming
NICE collection!! Really in NY you cant even carry a knife.. that sux!!!
Ramone Talarico wow that sux! idk what the law is for PA but i carry a i think 8-9 inch like rambo knife haha i never got bothered by the cops.
Ramone Talarico unfortunately, that's the way America is going...sad really
"Rostfrei" is German for stainless (literally free from rust). 12:14 14:30
Many also say "inox" which is short for "inoxydable" in French , which also means "stainless steel", or "non-oxidizing", there is at least 13% chromium in the steel preventing iron from reacting with oxygen in the air , normally producing Iron OXide, or more commonly known as rust, so "in-oxidible", like "in-destructible", means it won't oxidize.
Really gorgeous collection)) Thank you, for your art of tools. ))
Recently stumbled onto your channel and I LOVE it!! You are amazingly talented!
did it cost 100-120 dollars ?
I met this guy on a flight
bobi rust when?
on a flight to Kentucky from Arizona
you complimented my wooden watch
bobi rust i would love to see a vid or a pic of that
i found myself in a similar situation
+Nick Hinson I put two and three together.
Cool collection! And like that there is a little story with each knife, very cool!!!
I absolutely want one of those leatherman witchblade knifes! So awesome!!
hey jimmy you call some knifes "rostfrei" that's not the name or company who made it. it is german and actually means it's stainless steel.
greetings from germany and keep up that good work. i really like your videos
Fantarochen 152 rostfrei = rustfree
3:00 where I can order this knife?
Live a mile and a half from William Scagels old place. He'd have liked your work I bet. Love hearing the old timers stories of him. My old Doc had a dozen of his knives given to him. He did just what you've done, started innovating from scratch!
Fruitport, Mi.
Kool collection, thanks for sharing!
It's not a weapon it's a tool
"and I even engraved my name on the back of it." Haha, what don't you put your name on?
You do an amazing job man. Keep it up.
Success !!
Found you on Instagram and then on RUclips. Very entertaining way of presenting wellmade stuff. I just love your knife collection.
You have very creative mind.
screw knife laws. here in MN I can own switchblades, butterfly knives, and OTFs, but the second I walk off my property, you'll get arrested for having a weapon.
Really ?I edc a butterfly knife here in mn
Balis are legal to carry here man. (I’m in MN as well) I carry my BM 51 Morpho all the time
Sharp collection......I know.
Sounds like cops are corrupt everywhere.
At 16:45 I know you said you didn't care to send leatherman in but that Benchmade is also life warranty. That auto would definitely be worth a fix.
Nice collection Jimmy!
I used to have that same 007 knife when I was a kid. I thought I was the only one lol. Awesome vids by the way. Keep me coming
I wish someone would give ME a Rolex.
If you only knew what I had to go through to get this as a consolation prize. You'd pass on it. #longstory
jimmydiresta Awww man, now I really want to know! : )
jimmydiresta me too tell us the story
johnnytastetest why though
So if you disappear for about a week, now we know where you went.
Nice collection, awesome video, you sir are a true genius, brilliant.
Outstanding! A little something for everyone. I have also purchased knives from Smoky Mountain Knife Works. Great prices!
What's the guy's last name again?
***** LOL
😂
+kociusz A bit pretentious, isn't it?
+David W do you know what pretentious means?
Benji Steward-Shirley You can use presumptuous if you want. Either is fine.
I dont understand how you live in NY, with the cops acting like that i would move in an instant.
I was kinda surprised to not see any Bowies, but the Kbar is cool. Thanks for the vids and showing us a very cool assortment/collection.
Awesome Budget Knife Collection 👍👍👍
i'm swiss and i'm a little bit disappointed by the lack of victorinox in your collection..
+m16owner Yeah everyone needs a Swiss Army Knife.
How can one get a DiResta Original? Your handcrafted items are works or art and very collectable...
fuckk YOU man!
Fuck you
Man your collection is awesome, I wish I had a collection like yours and your vids are great to watch:)
Excellent video Great collection Thanks for sharing ATB Nobby in the UK
dude the cops in new york sound scummy for tackling u over a knife. damn
+Dylan Jared Try living in the UK, you better be good at thinking of excuses as to why you have a knife. I've never been stopped by police (touch wood)
+Dylan Jared Try living in the UK, you better be good at thinking of excuses as to why you have a knife. I've never been stopped by police (touch wood)
+Dylan Jared When I was a kid, 40 years ago, NY cops were considered the best cops in the world. It all went down hill when they started wearing baseball caps.
Dylan Jared In Turkey if cops find you carrying a knife they put the knife between your fingers and push the knife to tear your hand. they do this if the knife is longer than your middle finger
the "weird action one" has same mechanism as a ww2 german paratrooper knife
I love spyderco but I l did laugh at the bottle opener switch blade. Nice video
Just found your channel, great video. I like the Black handled axe video as well. Thanks for showing all the knives. Pretty Sick
I will guess you were drunk and paid 130$ for that one knife lol
$400
Lucian French Bingo! thank you !
Ah, you beat me to it! I was gonna say $400 also. I have the same knife with a wood handle - it was cheaper
But that's a lotta knives!
Damn, I came to say $350
jimmydiresta i got mine for abut 150
jimmydiresta damn that's a lot. Nice collection Jimmy awesome video brotha
Hey Jim I wanted to say, I like your videos very much, i like that they are very fast and on the spot, its like an avalanche of information that rushes directly into my brain, and I enjoy that very much.
So keep up the good work and many greetings from germany!
Thanks for sharing your knife collections. Pretty interesting! Enjoyed the making of Which Blade 1 video ! Which Blade 2 looks pretty great as well!
Laguiole $120-$160
you call that a knife? this is a knife
thanks for dwarfing my collection. great vids keep it up
The first dagger you showed i had to do a double take lol. I bought one very similar at a gas station years ago for 10 bucks. Nearly useless but oh so cool looking. And it had a tiny extra knife in the handle. Love the videos and great collection
OMG I had that Gerber boot Knife and lost it... was my fav... and I have the same one you left on the bus... lol
I was waiting for a KA-BAR to reveal, I love them and they are a good woods knife. I have the exact one that you have and had it given to me from my dad, awesome knife.
Knife nut here... it is refreshing as fuck to see a video of a guy who USES his god damned knives! Knock offs included or not, really nice to see some WORKING knives! Poking around the knife forums and youtube channels I often times feel like I am the only one actually using my knives.
Ace love your videos keep up the good work
I also have a box full of knives. Mostly inexpensive, but the one that ranks above all of them is a $35 Kershaw. I carry it everywhere. It is still razor sharp 5 years later. Highly recommend one
you truly are living the life
Great work
Watched pretty much all of your videos. Love this one, great collection, being from the uk I would get locked up for a long time just for carrying a leatherman no doubt. Congrats on 200k keep the vids coming
Great colection .
200k subscribers. As I look at the current subscription rate, it’s nearing 2mil!!!!! Damn well earned Jimmy!
I'm interested in this whole "witch blade" thing! badass and utilitarian!
Absolutely love the witchblade 2! If it's ever made commercially, I'm a buyer! Thanx JD!,
