✔ DiResta The Which Blade

[@JasonOsbourn]

Before I criticize, let me first say that this is an amazing project that I'm not sure I could ever pull off. You are a master of your craft. That said, it occurs to me that you have the blade on the wrong way around. If it were me, I would have the blade face towards the back as I wear it. This mock-up would work for a left-hander but at the end I see that you placed it on your right. It seems that whenever you draw the full knife, you have to turn it around before you can use it (unless you intend to use it to stab only). Also, with that sheath you need a leg-tie or some kind of locking device on the belt so that you can draw it with one hand.

[@VALIANTTHOR383]

Incredible craftsmanship and creativity. Blown away by your skill Jimmy

[@jimmydiresta]

Thank you brother!! Thank you for the support all around the comments !!

+jimmydiresta Not at all, it's an absolute pleasure. Just love to watch your videos, brilliant to see someone with such craftsmanship and skill do things that are so unique. Brilliant skill, hope it all proves to be the success you deserve.

[@MuchKoku]

First time watching one of your videos. My thought process is as follows: First half: Confusion. "...the hell is this guy doing?" Second half: Shock. "This man is clearly insane." End: Convinced. "I'm subscribing to this lunatic." I've yet to watch any more of your videos, but I hope to God they follow the same slap-dash, haphazard, no music or explanation format. Anybody else and they would take the time to explain every decision, every cut made. Boring. Spontaneous chaos is my favorite form of art and I didn't even think to apply it to blade making.

Ngood Ravens idgaf that your comment is over 2 months old, this is a fucking stupid thing to say. If you're at a restaurant and the food is shit don't dare complain until you're a professional chef, don't complain about movies either.

[@gunnara1459]

***** In restaurants and in movies you've paid for a service. None of us has given Mr. Diresta anything. He is simply showing off his skills and hard work, free for us to enjoy. We have no right to complain about his work.

[@labtec514]

Gunnar A No I'm fairly certain that we do infact have a right to say if we disagree with something, regardless of having paid to see it or not, plus you could easily argue that we've given him a view and ad revenue if his videos are monetised, not to mention that these are public videos so quite frankly if I want to post that I think something he made is shit, then shockingly I think I will do.

[@ryanmallett8450]

@@anthonymansfield9626 D.) All of the above

[@JackTheDeergal]

That doubles as a beautiful piece of art!

[@Odood19]

That is a wicked cool design! If you are planning on making a second one, might I suggest a full tang construction, manipulating the tang to become the multi-tool holder. Maybe weld the holder part onto the tang.

[@SHNUCAU]

I think that would make the multi-tool cumbersome. It would be too large. this design allows for easy transition between the two.

[@Odood19]

Matt de Oliveira I was thinking he could trim down the tang so it's not extrusive

[@SHNUCAU]

That still prevents the use of the more compact design of the multi-tool. It would be like using a 10 inch knife to carve something. The smaller tool has the ability to do things that the larger one can't by virtue of its size.

[@Odood19]

***** Thanks

[@PiranOfficial]

Try to incorporate rest of the knife tang in next design - it will strenghten the knife :)

[@PiranOfficial]

TheDutyPaid Dude, it's Jimmy Diresta - he'll beat it to crap ;)

[@TheHegezilla]

TheDutyPaid Or not

[@VictorTyne]

TheDutyPaid Prying, batoning, chopping, dropping onto a hard surface, drilling a hole with the point. (That's just examples of stuff I've done today with my own knife.) Anything where the knife blade impacts or a twisting force is applied is going to cause that blade to come off and go flying. You're right, basically all that knife is good for now is cutting apples and opening boxes. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link, and a weld is always ALWAYS the weakest point. I cringed when he cut that blade off the tang, and I stopped watching when he tried to weld it to something else. You just don't do that with any kind of blade. It creates a very real safety hazard and is just plain WRONG.

hope you don't hit the blade on the inside of that metal case. this piece seems heavy and not something that looks comfortable using. also won't you dull the blade if you put it in and out enough because the holder is made of metal.

[@jmelb4650]

No he should not dull it. the sheath is aluminium, which is a software metal. you would cut through the sheath before you dulled the blade.

[@Vykk_Draygo]

[@jmelb4650]

+Vykk Draygo aluminium is a sort metal. steel isn't. the steel will not dull, it will only rub againnst it. steel vs cardboard or wood, it will act like sand paper, becauuse it is uneven, and soft.
