DiResta Forged Bowie knife

- In this video watch me forge a Bowie knife from a scrap of metal I cut from the stock that I used in the scissors video few weeks ago. The source of the metal is from a car leaf spring. This may not be the most perfect knife but for me It was a milestone of learning on the anvil and the hardening process.
You can see me use a technique of "Blacksmith tempering" on the red hot chunk of steel.. I learned this technique summer from Alex Pole and Steve House .. applying the steel till the bald becomes a "Hay" color and then your knife is tempered.
The handle parts are left over leather from my GF Taylor Forrest's furniture making studio / taylor_forrest
I show all the Bandsaw at 2x speed to show the carving technique I use to shape the handle .

My heart stops whenever you go into slow motion because I’m waiting for a disaster lol
Same
There is no diSaster with a DiRasta...
Who would have thought 9Lives Hearty Cuts could double up as a leather dye ? Thanks fo the shop tip Jimmy ;)
Thats how to use a bandsaw!. Its been many years using that saw like that and i see you still have all your fingers! Nice work Jimmy
Watching you carve on the bandsaw is so satisfying! 😀 and nice scissor cameo 👊
You should keep making the burrito a recurring theme, and then collab with Binging with Babish on a burrito to cut lol
I think every knife he has made has gotten the burrito treatment. At least every practical knife.
@@TheTechnosasquatch yeah that's why I said "keep making".....the more he does it the more people recognize it as a theme, the more likely a big food channel might notice and might wanna collab....🍻
im waiting for a collab of jimmy with alecsteel to make the knife, followed by a burrito cooking episode with bingingwithbabish andrew rea and brad leone from bon appetit.

INTRODUCING: Jimmy DiResta, the bandsaw whisperer.... Great skills, nicely done Jimmy!!
My ears were happy to hear that the next project is a proper anvil stand.
I think Jimmy could have an entire channel of him just making knives, then slicing burritos and wraps in half with them. Yet another fantastic make!
You sir, are the new "Forged in Fire" champion!
This guy Jimmy has an obvious talent! I can see him making tables and things with wood down the road!!😂😂😂
I love the "Double Vision" Diresta stamp!
id like to see a Alec Steele and Diresta collaboration. who else likes this idea?
Would love to see Diresta and Alec Steele do their thing on forged in fire! Sure they would tear it up!
they've had at least one or two already.
Perfect sunday viewing, blacksmithing , bandsawing and leather work 👍
I don't think I have ever previously seen anyone carve brass with a jigsaw. Amazing.
Projects like this are reasons why I never miss one of your uploads. Another great knife, Jimmy!
Thank God you're back. I'm not much into forging and blacksmithing but the rest of the vid I love.
When I hear that hammer strike. I hear the Steel sing, What a Beautiful sound it made~
I have a sincere appreciation for the broad range of projects that you tackle. They highlight your broad skill set and craftsmanship fearlessness. I realize that you sped up the freehand bandsaw shaping buy still. Your rough cut freehand work here is remarkable 👍👍👍
Thats a really clever way of making a new handle by pressing all that leather together like that, looks real good when finished.
Your talent for making is amazing. Love watching you work because you inspire me to just go and try. As you have said several times you never mast anything just keep getting better every time you do or repeat a process. Seeing you in the shop reenforces this. You are one that practices what you preach.
Jimmy is an absolute wizard on the bandsaw! 😳
I loved watching the handle come to life!!
When nobody showed you, how to use a bandsaw, you sometimes feel special in a bad way, when you "file and or grind" stuff with it...your videos make me so much more comfortable with myself :*
Those serrations looks very useful, great job.
Your work on the band saw is a joy to watch.
Love the shape on this one. Great demonstration of band saw carving technique.
Nice anvil.
Extraordinary talent on that saw.
One thing I learned is to use a small round needle file to round the inside corners of the shoulders on the blade before installing the hilt. This will reduce the stress on that part of the blade making it less prone to snapping if used to pry etc. Nice job on that.
You are a very talented individual for sure. Love watching all your creative ideas come to life.
Many are the ways to chop a burrito in the house of Diresta! Awesome work as always sir!
Yet another great project and video Jimmy, thanks for sharing.
I'm impressed! The work is wonderful. I dream of working with you at least. Thank you for sharing!
It's not a knife, it's more of a work of art !
Anyone else get hungry for a kabob place when he was stacking the handle?! Just me? 🍻🍻 Your Kabowie knife is deliciously made 👍🍻🍻
Looks like Jimmy just made the knife his dad would not allow him to have , with the band he was allowed to have .i have a feeling this project has been on jimmies list since he was a kid making wood knives for Halloween like he showed us in band saw tips.. Beautiful work . Great vid thanks for sharing !
You can really tell Jimmy Diresta taps into his skill set on every video. He's been doing this maker stuff for a long time. 🇺🇲
The tempering technique is something new for me, thank you Jimmy...
So awesome when Jimmy makes a knife
What a great way to start a weekend!! A creation from the talented, Jimmy DiResta!!! Good job there, buddy!!
Love your work, and your safety last approach to working with power tools.
What a beautiful piece! Thanks for sharing jimmy!
LOVED this one, Jimmy. Thank you for sharing!
Love the leather, I have one that needs a handle right now. Consider me inspired!!
Lovely work Jimmy, you’re a true craftsman!
Awesome work! Love the extended bandsaw footage!
Thanks for the video Jimmy.
Cant wait to see the amazing, custom leather sheath that you are going to make for it!!
Absolutely awesome work! From the blade to the handle just crazy cool build! Thanks for sharing!!!
Simply legendary. Always ahead of the crowd. Salutations mixed with congratulations and appreciation...
Loving the Eastwing leather stack!
Love it. That carving technique with the bandsaw is skillful and amazing.
it's always a pleasure watch what you do....
Your skills are amazing! You never disappoint!
Beautiful work!
Hello from Meadow Bridge, West Virginia. Love the video man. Awesome knife.
I look forward to your videos and the Podcast with you, Dave, and Bob. Awesome y'all do. Keep up the good work.
Watching Jimmy has made my bandsaw a more useful tool. I have used his technique on wood, but I don’t think I am ready for metal yet.
Using the hemostats to apply the coating to the handle is brilliant! I always learn new things from you!
It Looked like ha small Kelly Clamp.
Once again Incredible work Jimmy !!
I love the idea around stacking leather to create the handle.
I would never have thought about using the band saw like that.
Great job Jimmy, that is an amazing transformation. You have great skills, and wonderful vision
what a nice way to start a weekend!! a jimmy video!!. Cheers from Argentina!!!
Now that would be something I'd be proud to wear. Amazing knife!
Next thing you know we'll be seeing Mr. D. on Forged in Fire.
Beautifully forged knife!
What a cute little Bowie knife. Nice knife in the end.
Master of bandsaw-shaping
Nice! I don’t think I have seen anyone else do that much handle shaping with a saw that was cool
Cool way of tempering!! Awesome build Jimmy!
I am always amazed at your band saw talents but i can't help thinking that one day the title of an episode will be, "DiResta the finger is missing!"
nice work jimmy, always loving it
Files only cut in one direction dragging them back without picking them up ruins them. Really liked the video very enjoyable to watch.
Loving the bandsaw action
“stick them with the pointy end”
Awesome blade that, skill level is insane! 😀
I'd love to take a knife making class from you! Your knives are visually handmade, and very much one of a kind. A person would be blessed to be able to carry a DIRESTA made knife!
Awesome Job!
My favorite video of all time, great job jimmy 👏👏👏👏
This is cool! Like the rough hammer marks on the blade.
The handle reminds me of a K-Bar... and I like the double tap of your name-it makes me think it’s echoing somehow. Beautiful form and function. Thanks for sharing.
Nice knife Jimmy! Loving the leather stack handles.
Master of the "band sander".
Great job. Looks amazing
This is one for the knife museum!
Nice!
Thanks for the video.
The entire time watching this, I expected to find "YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!" That led me to The DiResta Theorem: "No matter what way you do it, on the internet, it's always wrong." Pleasantly surprised to not find the comments full of that. The theorem is, however, still true. But the corollary: "Except for Jimmy." is also true. :)
He cut a sharp 90 degree angle at the weakest point of the knife, right at the end of the tang. It's big no no I'm pretty surprised he wasn't aware of.
How fantastic. Best channel period.
Hi Jimmy. Your such an expert in all things.
Awesome brother love your work
Wow had no idea how serrations were made. Great project.
The blade is secondary to that handle. Insane build Jimmy. Thanks.
Carving the handle on the band saw was amazing... I would gouge it too deep... You for sure have mad skills!!!
Love to see you work that bandsaw!
Great looking knife .
I always find this stuff interesting can't wait for another year so I can get started
You talk about not being a pro at this stuff but from where I'm sitting, it's professional work!
Hell of a craftsman 👍🏼. A true master !
Very nice! A skill I would love to learn.
For heat treating, the temp is raised until the steel is non-magnetic. I saw on your inst that it was still magnetic. At a guess I would say that is where the issue came from
Nice thought , congratulations
Those are impressive bandsaw skills.
Geez, Jimmy! The blade really was the easy part!
Awesome video jimmy
Beautiful! 🤘
You have mad skills- big fan
