I can listen to someone using a rasp on a piece of wood all day and all night. it's soothing to my ears
super nice, Jimmy.
My 3 yr old girl will have a blast watching this one with me... ("Daddy, I want to watch Jimmy making a BIG knife" was a recurring theme a few weeks back). bzw, my kids love when you make signs too, tons of signs, with letters and numbers, yeah.
Keep on trucking ! (from France)
Mr.DiResta, your one of the few guys that deserves putting his name on every thing he does.
Very nice workmanship.
That shot with the knife sitting in the blade cutout was just too cool.
You should make a cleaver out of the other half of saw blade. Always nice to have a matching set! :-)
Agreed
fuckery abounds More like always KNIFE to have a matching set ;D
"That's not a knife this is a knife!"
Seriously Jimmy you deserve a medal. I watched all your videos.
How can anyone 'thumbs down' these videos, Naysayers abound on the interwebz! Keep up the excellent work Jimmy!
I'm surprised the hair on your forearm even bothers growing anymore. Knife looks great!
You're gonna piss off all the 50 year old sawmill blade nerds Jimmy, what are you doing! :P
i have been watching diresta videos for over 3 years now they are really good
I am continually impressed by your craftsmanship. Also, these videos are extremely relaxing.
Agreed
Jimmy just a little advice, when making a knife like this.. Where the handle and blade meet, there needs to be a radius, as the square section can cause what is known as stress risers in the steel. It doesn't have to me massive just a small radius with a round file prevents this take care and keep up the great work
+lbcustomknives agreed ..thank you!
+jimmydiresta no problem take care.
I think I missed a step. How did the Diresta get on the side of the blade? Does all the material in his shop just slowly develop the marking now?
I've watched many of your videos, and your ability to look at what is and envision what could be is marvelous.
Hey jimmy, dont' know if you know this, but it's just a suggestion so you dont wear out your belts. If you ever decide to make something else from that giant saw blade again, and you're not worried about time. Soak your cut out piece(s) in apple cider vinegar for maybe a day or two to remove the rust depending on the amount that's built up. I've done this multiple times with tools and scrap metal ive used for knife making and it works great.
Now THAT'S a knife.
Jimmy listens to jazz whilst making a badass knife.
I found it amazing that with all the times you have shaved your arms to show how sharp the knives, axes, blades, etc. that you have made, that your arms are not clean shaven yet. But then I realize that you're Italian and the hair has probably grown back by the time the video was finished.
The hand shaping of the handle was incredible! Great build
I'm sure Crocodile Dundee would agree..."Now, THAT'S a knife"!
Nice job Jimmy. Props for the respirator. I'm trying to use one more these days
Have too. I'd be spitting out steel for days. ...Ask me how I know ..,
Thank you alway brother!!
I cannot wait until you get that bigger shop you talked about and start working on cars you wanted!
Non solo bravissimo tastierista ma anche genio del fai da te...grande rocco tanica
There was hair on his arm again, so time for another knife! ;-) Really awesome knife Jimmy, love it!!
That is awsome, I was going to ask how much to buy one then I thought to myself what the heck get off your arse and make one yourself !
Wish me luck !
And thank you for another cool video.
Jimmy once again proving that he is a master craftsman :))
Knife nerds are gonna go crazy about all the belly on that knife. Awesome work jimmy, big fan, keep up the great work!
This guy must have the patience of a saint.
hey Jimmy I love your videos, they help me a lot when I feel bad or had a rough day
how?
@@shablooey He imagines using them on people who ask too many questions.
Excellent job, I know I am not the only one that kept thinking about the "mugging" scene in Crocodile Dundee.
I'm glad I SAW this video....I'm here all day.
"now that's a knife" said in aussie accent. =]
Now THAT'S a knife.
+john papple I thought it was a spoon?
+One Poke Man I think he meant that this was a KNIFE and not a knife
A bowl of Miso soup
In my country we call that a spoon.
One Poke Man let me guess: Russia?
Looks good +JimmyDiresta ! Something I've discovered is that its pretty easy to put a chamfer/angle/round on the "bolster" part of the handle scales (that transitions to the blade) if you clamp them up using the pins as a reference before you put the knife handle between them. I usually use belt sander +/- files. You can get all kinds of transitions that way (even carve it a bit) and if they're a bit off it doesnt matter - once it's attached to the knife, the blade is inbetween the two and you can't visually compare one side to another.
I can't stop watching these....
BADDDASSSS BLADE ! ! !!
GREAT WORK BROTHER.. I love your channel....;)-
that is some hard wood on the handles.
also - it looks like an itchy and scratchy knife.
Killer Project, Thanks tons for sharin
I like the subtle diresta etched into the blade
Freaking Sweet! I love the hidden Diresta in this. Was that intended or a happy accident?
+Peter Brown Yes!! i sprayed for instagram and was burned in the rust after heat treat!! thank you brother!
I am sure it was intended
+Long Island Survival silly FLID
Hey Peter, I love your channel! I was wondering if you could make a bench. Maybe make it out of pallet wood, or use something else.
Peter Brown happy accident
Does anyone else want the mill blade with the cut out to just hang on your shop wall
+Liberty Woodworking damn right!! LOL
Hell yeah
Excellent build. I hope the knife trolls don't get too bent out of shape by you're awesomeness
That plasma cutter works pretty well! Nice project video.
Now thats a knife
its like one of those Halloween fake giant kitchen knifes only real
Thank you Diresta ! You are a free radical ! In this illusion .
Impressive build and a GREAT video of the process! A rare combination of excellent skills, both a maker and a videographer. Very nicely done, thank you!
_"Now Thaut's a Knife."_
+Sulli11 *Noife ;p
Crocodile Dundee?
Noice noife mate

He's ready for when the tomatoes attack.
Pinching that hole in the can just shows what a genuis jimmy is.
+Broom Common sense *
Came out cool knife!!!
I look at these videos and think that it is time to build me a belt sander and start making knives :)
Thank you for the inspiration Jimmy,I really like your work, with knives and wood , I only work with metal and your videos give me the desire to evolve in other areas !!
whoaaa... ichigo's mini zangetsu. hahaha
сколько же у него шерсти на руках
...как и у любого другого мужика.
Ты девушка или малой? У мужчины всегда так было, те, кто бреют руки без причины, пусть еще и в жопу долбятся
+TheDarkvindetta idi nahoi
Knife snob here! This is pretty much my favorite thing you have made.
Would be cool if you got some natural stones to bring out the grain of that old steel.
Another very very nice knife and video! Thumbs up! Hope you upload more this and next week. maybe the ending of the beehouse.
the perfect watermelon knife
Zangetsu ?
Weeb Alert.
The Best method to learn something and fall asleep. Thanks for you videos.
you are so professional. I appreciate your creation
Old sawmill blade reicarnated to cut another day.
this is like mini zangetsu
Excellent workmanship.
...and what was old is new again. Sweet.
Now u have a knife to butter your toast😄
What brand grinder is this? Or is it custom? I can't find anything like it online!
"Beaumont"
+jimmydiresta thank you. I've been trying to figure that out for like a year
+kevin condon I think they are pretty damn expensive, but it seems like it's the grinder most pro knifemakers (and metalworkers) use.
+EspenJ yea I just looked and over a grand for one ready to go
They're fairly common grinders used a lot by knife makers. Search for knife belt sanders. Wilmont grinders makes a nice one too
Wow, the satisfaction you must feel at the end of your day must be wonderful. You make beautiful dangerous items and each step in the creation is quite an accomplishment. Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship.
Mr. Diresta, I would like to share with you a couple things that I have found to be very useful. I see that you do a lot of file work and as such the files do load up with the material you are filing. I have found it very helpful to coat the file with a layer of chalk prior to using the file. It makes the file much easier to keep the teeth clean. As a gunsmith I feel one can never have to many files. While I am on the subject of files, if you have a great deal of material to remove nothing beats a rasp designed for use fitting Horse shoes. Finally, Birchwood Casey makes a product called Truoil. It is the finest finish available for finishing gun stocks. Wet sanded into the wood and allowed to cure it not only fills the pores, it also offers a waterproof barrier. After curing it can be sanded lightly with 600 grit wet or dry paper and a final finish coat applied. Manufactures of custom firearms charge as much as $500.00 for a Truoil finish. I hope you may find these comments useful in your endeavors.

@jimmydiresta no tempering after heat treatment?
That's what I was going to ask. Also, the steel did not look hot enough before quench. I love your work jimmy, but I am curious to know. why no temper?
+thermmaloverload yeah, me too Jimmy. Big Fan. Maybe the knife is just meant for decoration?
@@thermmaloverload Further up in the comments he stated that he did temper it, just didn't show it.
great knife you made there. I like the shot where the finished knife is in the cutout hole in the blade ... maybe a wall mount or a holder incorporating that would be cool?
You need more subscribers. Anyone can play a video game, but this, this is just cool. Nice work.
Didnt see you temper that blade after hardening?????
+john smith easy mistake to make.
+john smith Wasn't that around 4:50 ?
+Brandon Darensburg No....At 4:50 he is hardening the steel which makes it very hard and brittle. It must be reheated after this at a lower temp to temper the steel and make it less brittle. Some put it in a toaster oven at 400F for 2 hours...other guys like to heat it with a torch until a desired color appears. Opinions vary BUT MUST BE TEMPERED or it will snap. Put an old file in a vice and hit it with a hammer and you will see....file will snap right in half.
+john smith did off camera. Just boring.
Oh wow i appreciate the clarification
Why didn't you polish the knife completely? Aren't you going to use it in the kitchen or is it only for stabbing? :D
he'd never get away with murder with all the stencil tags he uses
O.J. is that you ? LOL
this will perhaps be a stupid thing to notice. but the circle fade-in effect at the beginning of a lot of your videos works so damn well for some reason. love it!
you just gave that piece of scrap a new life! I had always enjoyed watching your videos! NICE WORK Jimmy! :)
You forgot to temper it!
If you check further back in the comments you will see that he did temper it, just didn't show it.
Your poor arm hair. Will you ever let it grow?
kitchenmaiden81 because of knife sharp test when it be razor charp
he's Italian. it'll grow back in a few hours
juicy ducy my favorite comment ever
WOW, beautiful work Jimmy
That's one mean big cutter you've got there! Great way of turning something useless into something useful. Great work Jimmy!
do the throne of GOT, that will be fucking epic
how long? how long until he has no more hair to shave off his arms?
found this amazing channel a few days ago, subscribed straight away and haven't stopped watching it since, keep up the good work👍👌
Always a pleasure to watch.
man, there is an inscription on your toilet paper "DiResta"???
guy must be really paranoid about people taking his stuff... does he put his name on everything?
mostly so when arseholes steal videos to repost them without giving credit his channel name is still in the video
+The Mad Hammer Oh. Well, that makes sense.
imagine if someone broke in and added "smells" after everywhere he wrote his name
Captain Obvious haha thats evil, or just a random insult after each one
Coke and Pepsi must also be paranoid about someone stealing their stuff, they put their name on everything!
nice knife Jimmy.... I sure miss your TV show... keep on keeping on!
Very cool! Mr Porter sent me and I am glad he did.
Can I use this to trim my pubic hair?
Any knife is a shaving knife.. if you aren't a little bitch!
Every pizza's a personal pizza if you want it bad enough.
😂😂😂😂😂👌🏻
You can trim aloooooot more than that, my friend!
That would be a great display option, showing where the blade was cut from.
so long as hes not running around screaming HERE`S JIMMY.nice knife mate.
I love this kind of videos, this kind where you take old stuff to make new ones, or you repair like the Fireman AXE, or the old tools you polish, you should make more like this ones, or put them in a special list. Great work! big fan!
Fabulous knife and so expertly made and (frustratingly) you make it look so easy!
Brilliant work as always!
+johnnyq90 Did not expect you here
wow that knife is massive! very nice work jimmy.
you have an outstanding free hand & eye of detail skill many can only admire.. that is one fine knife.. totally enjoy your video..
Is there anything you can’t build? You have a special gift.
So cool man! So cool to think it was rusting in a field before this. Thank you for sharing bud! -Brian
why do so many people give you dislikes? your work is awesome.
Nice one Jimmy. I'm not sure if it would add much work for you, but have you ever considered adding a timestamp at the end of your videos showing the amount of real time spent on a given project? I always find it interesting the things you guys (content creators in general) come up with, but it's hard to judge just how much time is really spent on the things that get cut out of or sped up in the videos to keep them interesting.
