Woo hoo!!! ❤❤❤ I hid that hefty piece of brass (and a couple other goodies) in one of Jimmy's shops when I first got to meet him at Maker Camp 2022. Wasn't sure he'd ever even find them. Haha! So cool to see it get used like this! Thanks Jimmy!

[@JoshuaAlexander138]

Thats cool!!

[@UncleMullet]

Andrew this is SO Awesome man! Seriously.

[@AndTheCorrectAnswerIs]

That was awesome Andrew! There was definitely some Maker Camp magic in 2022. 👍

[@glass1258]

That’s so cool hahaha

[@andrewmize823]

I saw Crocodile Dundee when I was a kid, and I've been a knife nut ever since. It's hard to beat a classic Bowie.

[@owenandlibbygower8471]

That’s not a knife…

[@allenwilson9656]

​@owenandlibbygower8471 that's a knife 🔪

[@moehoward01]

​@@allenwilson9656That's a noyf...

[@jeremyspecce]

I saw crocodile Dundee when I was a kid and I’ve using a bidet to clean my boots ever since.

[@tree_carcass_mangler]

​@jeremyspecce OH, I understand! It's for washing your backside afterwards!

[@mdlipps]

That's one of the coolest coffin handle bowie knives I've ever seen. It looks like it belongs to an evil gunslinger in a western movie.

[@chinanorthairguns]

Lee Van Cleef would be perfect if he was still alive.

[@mdlipps]

@@chinanorthairguns Yes! Or maybe Ed Harris as The Man In Black in West World.

[@AB-nu5we]

A knife project that's already drawn real blood. Adding to the pirate kingdom. Amazing build. Thanks for sharing.

[@marlon.himura.76]

The coffin-shaped knife handle it's amazing!!!

[@UncleMullet]

DUDE!! I didn't even catch that! *Bonus! ⚰️

[@billwoehl3051]

Really enjoyed the sneak peeks, of the finished knife, throughout the process.👍

[@danielcotnoir3363]

Stanfield Works said it eloquently, and I share their sentiment. Thank you Jimmy.

[@biowerks]

In all of my years, I have never seen ANYONE work a bandsaw like Jimmy, its always a pleasure to watch!

[@heyimamaker]

6:20 ❤ I started my channel because I found your videos 10 years ago 😄

[@DumpsterMarcus]

Came out awesome!!! It’s definitely crocodile Dundee approved!!! 🤙 (now that’s a knife)

[@thesplinteredfinger]

Jimmy, such amazing talents you have! I could sit here and watch you do that all day! One of those projects that when you wake up the next day and look at what you have achieved. Those boots are one of a kind!

[@JK-zi1rg]

Old leaf spring to beautiful bowie knife! What a work of art.

[@alanpreston3111]

Brilliant in every way 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻, and boy “those boots were made for working🎼🎼”🙏🏻😎

[@davidmeyer9204]

Thanks Jimmy. Your inspiration to me and others is over the top. I think it is time to get some rose wood and replace the handles on my wife's knifes. Thanks for taking the time to show and share your work. 🙏

[@skewedmaker]

Beautiful work! I love watching the whole process, especially your carving the skulls on the bandsaw.

[@JayChuckOnFire]

I’ve always loved how Jimmy takes time at the end of his videos to admire the finished piece. Good work! I’ve been meaning to start learning the art of knife making. I have most of the tools, I just need to start. I think now I’ll start.

[@esiebert7625]

That thing is straight up gorgeous

[@TheJohn93226]

I love bowie knives more than any other knife in the world! 🤩🤩❤❤

[@6firefightin]

Holy moly bro! Beautiful blade. Super talented! The guard, the sheath, the blade. Perfection! 👌🏻

[@nattibrody]

Wow! B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L! 😍😍😍

[@Sainteve2]

I like this a lot. Jimmy spends as much time on the knife as the sheath. Both look great.

[@EricMeyerMaker]

Jimmy is just new boot goofin

[@wrinklesandsprinkles]

You have a Maker’s dream workshop!!🙌🏼

[@polytzai]

Amazing level of craftsmanship

[@MCsCreations]

Crazy beautiful bowie, Jimmy! That's a real work of art! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@smayjr72]

Jimmy, your talent never ceases to amaze me!😮

[@zugzug2849]

Very cool that you can see a piece of art hiding in an old rusty leaf spring, and have the skills to breathe life into your vision. Great transformation, but I gotta get in the peanut gallery comment that brass rivets on the sheath instead of copper would’ve been nicer.

[@pogers22]

90degree corners on the blade-handle transition on a hard work knife with unshown/incomplete heat-treatment that this is strait up going to SNAP!!!!

[@jimmydiresta]

I did all the heat treat steps . It’s boring on camera. I leave it out of the edit. And it invites trolls and dialogue 💪🏼

[@jimrosson6702]

Absolutely amazing what an awesome knife so cool to watch you make it from start to finish a true artist and craftsmen 👏👏👏

[@dnngskn62]

The ARTIST shines through when you are at the top of your game.

[@gbgabgby]

Wow wow wow, love it 😱😍😍😍😛

[@splinters_66]

Freaking awesome ! A cut above the rest !

[@Owl566]

Very cool

[@garagemonkeysan]

Great film making. Cool future shot inserts of your intentions. Gorgeous knife and sheath. Mahalo for sharing! 🙂🙏🐒

[@PaulMeyette]

The Ghost Rider would be proud to carry that.

[@davebauerart]

Great combination of elements and perfect companion to the boots!

[@scott9435]

What a fantastic knife, well done. Also...I have anvil envy.

[@bob5074]

When I first saw the thumbnail, I said to myself, that’s a cool spatula for a flat top! Still would be!!

[@chicagovasko]

Happy Holloween Jimmy, thanks for the video.

[@B-leafer]

Heck of a letter opener! Nice.

[@AndTheCorrectAnswerIs]

That chunk of brass Jimmy. That's what its all about. You know what I mean. 👍👊💪🙏❤

[@douglidz2944]

Jimmy all that knife needs is rubies in the skull eye holes. Truly an inspirational knife…in so many ways. 16:33

[@David_K_Dickson]

Beautifully done, Jimmy. Thanks for sharing.

[@philliphilton3441]

Now that's a knife

[@velocelt]

I'm just hearing "Bowie Knife" by Frankie Lane playing over and over in my head while watching this. Bowie knife, bowie knife, long, glitterin' steel If my gun don't take your evil life You can bet, my bowie knife will

[@goptools]

That's some knife, Jimmy. At first, I thought you were going to cast the skulls for the pommel. I think maybe you created the art of carving on the bandsaw!

[@WoodenCreationz]

Wicked Sick bud!

[@chickfamilyink]

Spooky cutlery! Happy Halloween Jimmy.

[@barnabyjones8333]

Awesome! Love the sheath just as much as the knife.

[@jeremyspecce]

I can not believe how fast you turned this around. I feel like you were still working on this 12 hours ago.

[@danthemakerman]

That thing is an absolute beast!!

[@TheMrjrob7684]

dude those skulls are awesome

[@ga5743]

That man can make ANYTHING……….👍

[@wattyWatlington]

Amazing video as always. 4 videos back to back. Happy Halloween indeed. You are such an inspiration.

[@denikoboroda]

it's a chopper, baby)))

[@sgsax]

Wicked looking pig sticker you got there. I think the carved skulls on the guard are my favorite part. Thanks for sharing!

[@Justlookingaround24]

Baddass Jimmy

[@NibbioCauto]

spettacolo

[@joeduffy9764]

Now that's a knife!

[@quilleymemory]

I wonder how he’s gonna make those skulls? Mold or stamp them? CNC and then bolt them on? Oh, right it’s JD… he’s just going to freehand them with raw f’ing talent. THIS is why I’m here.

[@sanankynaston9925]

That a knife or rather a sword? That thing there is humongous!

[@tree_carcass_mangler]

Great, diverse skill set, with some tricks and techniques shown as well. Thanks for posting and thumbs up.

[@Tj-ck4vv]

Way nice blade and sheath!

[@Odood19]

Hell yeah, another knife vid. It's been a while

[@gilbertoassisdeoliveira]

Made with iron, fire and blood!! literally. 👍😎👍

[@Papa_Chad]

Kept expecting to see some footage of that new Dremel tool flying to the garbage can when it broke. 😂

[@101-йкилометр]

Из ржавой железки произведение искусства!!! Супер!!!

[@joshfick4107]

Jimmy when he's "new boot goofin"

[@vinceianni4026]

Hello Jimmy beautiful knife beautifully made good job well done

[@MakewithMatt]

Now that’s a knoife!

[@donavantew8278]

This is awesome. How could I get one of these

[@DeweyBlanton-ku7db]

Dammit man. He welds, he blacksmiths, he sculpts, he does leather and sewing, what's next???👍👍😀

[@jimmydiresta]

😇😇😇

[@keithkohler3332]

Paul Hogan ain't got shit on you...... now that's a knife!

[@flaska1808]

С таким набором инструментов, и станков, любой ребёнок нож сделает! 😄😄😄 а теперь всё тоже самое, повтори с минимальным набором инструмента, в средневековом стиле ,так сказать! 😄😄😄😏

[@mcorrade]

Jimmy I remember when you first got into blacksmithing and I said to myself, you'll master this as well. I don't think there's a creative field you couldn't master. We all go to school on the first one right?

[@mrgodBG]

you make it look so easy to do stuff you do...

[@chicagovasko]

Jimmy busted out the old oldschool hammer with this 9ne. Id bet that was jimmys first hammer. Not that jimmys old but just my thought. Very cool build.

[@trevorhanley66]

Super cool!!!👍

[@samaker4]

Thanks Jimmy, I needed that. Great video🙂

[@LaserGadgets]

Another bowie

[@MaharPROD]

Ah ah! So cool!!

[@carsonhc305]

Like Crocodile Dundee said, "Nahw thehts uh noife."

[@leacocca]

Diresta ha vuelto.

[@paulthompson5416]

Fantastic Jimmy you have hands that could make anything!! I love the fact that you didn't chase perfection with the blade finish and it still had forging marks present👍🏼 Ps What the hell were you doing to those poor hands in this video? It looks like you'd gotten into a fight with Edward scissor hands 🩸✂ 😂

[@doughills8024]

Athol Mass baby!

[@LaBizounerie]

Congrats on a great build! ... and also on having your 3 videos out on time! Go get a little sleep now! 😅

[@dogbuggy32]

Good hands Jimmy

[@chetleonard169]

Wait!! You can draw upside down like that with no adjusting your perspective!! wow

[@nokbeen3654]

«Now that’s a Knoife!»

[@reforzar]

I think you should do three videos in a week more often😂 all three were amazing. I think this is my favorite though.

[@Stefano.D.P.-wy6bf8x]

This Is a nice homemade knife 🗡️

[@ToxicSpork]

I wish I was half as good at doing anything as Jimmy is at operating bandsaw

[@mowandgosystems]

Ole Jimmy bandsawz strikes again!

[@elliotwells7272]

Can you make a dual action case xx mini copperlock?

[@catgynt9148]

That is one amazing leaf spring modification. An amazing transformation, thanks Jimmy. I half expected you to use the leaf spring to make a recursive crossbow. Wishing you and your family a blessed week filled with gentle seasonally appropriate weather and restful evenings together. Peace brother

[@GibClark]

Excellent !!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@adamfrbs9259]

In 93 we made our own knives in shop class. They don't teach that anymore. So who's gonna be the next Gil Hibben, if no one knows how anymore?

[@Ironman-harmonica]

Amazing

[@natr0n]

As Dundee would say...That's a knife.

[@jamiejempson4603]

Crocodile dundee leaves the chat.......
