My DiResta GIANT Razors… Now LIVE HERE: imakeny.com/pr...
For this knife making video, I made a knife blade that will not need to be heat-treated as long as you keep the blade "cool" while sharpening it. The handles for this knife are Corian counter and brass.
Five years ago, I made this same knife with my hand held plasma torch and a saw blade. I wanted to run a production run of the knife blanks on the Torchmate plasma table to sell on the site… and you can check out the link right here: imakeny.com/co...
thank you

[@JavierSalcedoC]

Crocodile Dundee: That is not a knife, THIS is a knife Diresta: Hold my superglue

[@danielstellmon5330]

I knew I was not the only one that would think of that.

[@MikeOrkid]

The white with the brass is super classy. Love it.

[@layneinchains4047]

“ Thank You”!

[@mar.s822]

For a second, i thougt you would chop your Arm off! 😳 Nice Knife! 👍

[@themattygm]

Go on then, I'll let you throw one of these in with my Diresta box if you insist! Haha, excellent video as always!

[@charlesjohnsjr.5809]

Been studying knife making but haven’t taken the plunge. I don’t understand when to heat treat and when not to.

[@xw6968]

Left over of the blade not useful for some small pocket knifes or postal openers ?.( funny shapes style).

[@abdelkrim4]

El mango es impecable 👌

[@kentowakai1234]

I've got $20 on him shaving his arm before the end of the video.

[@kentowakai1234]

BINGO!

[@JoeDavis82]

One beautiful knife Jimmy. I’m diggin the white/brass/steel contrast.

[@AndTheCorrectAnswerIs]

I like the simplicity and clean look. It makes me think of the Star Wars line where Obi Wan describes the light saber as " An elegant weapon, for a more civilized age". 🔥⚒️🗡️

[@jondoe9451]

Now that‘s what I call a big Knoife!!!

[@Tru-zc4yz]

Classic

[@patcj613]

Nice one. Is there any heat treating, or tempering needed when you use a saw blade to make a knife?

[@TheTranq]

Was wondering the same

[@mariaconcepcionrodriguezhe2850]

The sawblade is already tempered. As long as he siento overheat the Blade during grinding It should be fine

[@mariaconcepcionrodriguezhe2850]

Doesn't*

[@hgtydjdjdgh67889]

I'm a married adult with two kids. I have adult in-laws, my parents and adult siblings. All of us are well off and we don't need to buy each other gifts this time of year, for past 10 years or so we've made charity donations this time of year as an alternative to gift giving to the adults (for that kids? Yeah, go nuts buy them gifts, but the adults don't need more stuff). Just donated, thanks Jimmy

[@raulc398]

Beautiful piece!,I am surprised you didnt edge your name on the blade!,Cheers from Toronto Canada!!

[@SkepticKritikCinik]

Давайте смотреть. Это будет интересно.

[@mitchellambrose2293]

Looks great! But I didn't see a heat treat? It being a from a saw blade, was it not needed? Just curious.

[@DanVR001]

I wonder if Jimmy has ever thought about making a saw blade from a knife.

[@gregmize01]

😂😂😂😂

[@marc_spence]

Jumped on a Jimmy vid at the start! Love it! Thanks from Australia mate - constant inspiration and great to see you doing charity work

[@LaserGadgets]

Nobody is turning knives into saw blades.

[@TommasoScappini]

It is called "entropy" ...

[@lovelyDavidkim]

i recommend you this channel kzbin.infovideos

[@LaserGadgets]

[@caodesignworks2407]

But have you seen a man turn underwear or milk into a sharp knife? kzbin.info/door/g3qsVzHeUt5_cPpcRtoaJQ

[@lovelyDavidkim]

@@caodesignworks2407already done!

[@MNIronAndGrain]

That clamp/end stop is a very clever way to keep the plunge lines consistent! Great build and video as usual, I learn something every time I watch.

[@williambrady7135]

Thank you again Jimmy. I've been turning pens for years as gifts for Christmas. I just bought my first knife kit, this video is just in time for me to complete the knife scales. I always love the video ending, especially when you chop something.

[@walkman5410]

You don't have to make a knife every time you need to shave your arm hair. Also, 1) no need to temper a saw blade? 1.5) They must be already hardened? 2) Did that pipe act as a heat sink while grinding so no need to cool it in water? (Speaking from no experience)

[@TheLynxer]

Always impressed with your efficiency, ingenuity, and craftsmanship. Also I just got my full size and mini ice picks in the mail recently, and the fit and finish is really nice, I couldn't be happier with them. Might have to pick up another pair for my brother! Anyhow, I hope your holiday season is a good one!

[@jimmydiresta]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@jonathangrenier104]

woh! slowmo at 7:05 got me reeeeeealy nervous, was expecting a catastrophe. happy it was all ok. stay safe and keep it up!

[@ilyashoshana3950]

Crazy glue will not hold it together

[@Javad.Najibi47]

Amazing as always. I just have one question; didn't the blade need to to be heat treated?

[@nobuckle40]

And yet another way in which to cut your burrito in half. May I suggest a special broad axe? One specifically for burrito carnage?

[@sapelesteve]

Fantastic knife build Jimmy! With all of the weapons that Jimmy has made over the years, I don't think that anyone will be trying to break into his house any time soon! Happy Holidays to you and your family Jimmy! 👍👍🎄🎄🎄🎄👍👍

[@oldmanpottering]

He has a framing hammer for that situation

[@davidwhiren817]

not a weapon !!!

[@dbstelly]

Beautiful work! I would love to own one of your knives some day.

[@SeanHodgins]

When you rolled up your sleeve, I thought you whole hand was being chopped off. Wouldn't phase that knife.

[@HandlebarWorkshops]

The problem with Jimmy's knife videos is that I always start craving burritos afterward.

[@hoosierkent1640]

Jimmy, GREAT Knife & GREAT Video -as always👍👍! Sandy & I Love💓, Love💓, Love💓 our DiResta Mugs!☕☕ Thank you so much for the 'Holiday DiResta-Count' (DiResta Discount)!

[@MrDtaylor099]

Wow, your sponsor is the best I’ve ever heard of.

[@killerkane1957]

My knife blank arrived today! Tempted to leave it with the DIRESTA paint. Ordered a different blank today. Looking forward to finishing them both. Thanks Jimmy!

[@AB-C1]

Nice craftsmanship mate. Cheers from London England 👍😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@thebluetrinity]

Which fictional badass could kill the most people with that knife? I want to say John Wick but there's also Jason Bourne, James Bond, Alice, Tommy Shelby, The Joker...

[@AtticusGrim]

I've never met Mr. DiResta but from his videos I assume he's the sort of maker who often wakes up in a cold sweat with an idea and can't relax until he's followed it through. I imagine he woke up and was like "RECLAIMED SAW MILL KNIVES" and here we are.

[@spacecat86]

GiveWell is destroying charity. Straight up charitable imperialism. so who decides which cause is more deserving? “My cause is better than yours and more worthy of funding” sounds fishy bud.

[@ubertramp4297]

have you tried using an MDF wheel on your bench grinder/buffer to "strop" a final edge on your knives? I'm sure you do quick work with your file system, but it may cut a few minutes off each knife. Beautiful knife, and great video. Thank you

[@UnvarnishedTarnished]

I love the design, curious though... Why CA glue for the scales? Isn't ca glue very brittle especially overtime and with no "tooth" in the scale materials for the glue to bite into...

[@markellis6886]

I have 3/8 x 2 inch long 360 yellow brass end cuts from a production job. I would rather give them to you than scrap them. where do I send them.

[@tracybowling1156]

Hey Jimmy, I recently learned a new term. I think it comes from football but you can use it how you want I'm sure. And that term is GOAT. That is how I feel about you!

[@johna4016]

Awesome, would love to see you make an automatic knife from scratch (like old times)! 😄

[@AlbinKmet]

Gorgeous knife, but all I could think about is someone sometime mentioned that when Jimmy's arms need a trim/shave he just makes a new knife or sharp thing... so another sharp thing in like 3 months Jimmy? :D

[@gilbertjimenez9853]

This knife should've been named Zangetsu lmao. Once your done carving a roast beast, you can reap souls with it, love it.

[@multi_misa72]

Every single time, every thing is cool..DIRESTA cool..yup, just a hat of to this guy...

[@Mucram-17]

Good Title that thing is killer,nice job. AND THANKS FOR THE VIDEOS.

[@ThePsychodad69]

Man o'man I wish I kept those blades, of course I have tons of old white cutting boards. Can I use 2 handed pull saw blades did keep those?

[@محمدالحرفي-ث4ك]

Well done, but if you are exposed to water, it will rust, Mr. Jimmy.

[@ifbridges]

From the beginning I was thinking, "I really hope he cuts a burrito in half with that thing!" You do not disappoint, Jimmy.

[@shookings]

Jimmy, could I commission you to cut six blanks of varying sizes from a saw blade? I like your knife, but the size is way too big for my particular use.

[@Ricopolico]

What, no sharpening choil? I know one can be a little dangerous, but I like one when it's time to sweeten up a knife. Anyway, after a couple bites, you learn to respect a blade.

[@talegunrdav]

I think everybody that knows you knows they’re getting a butcher knife for Christmas

[@Anton_Lishankov]

Отличная работа! Было приятно увидеть станок для заточки от техностудии "Профиль". Great job! It was nice to see a sharpening machine from the "TS Prof".

[@tree_carcass_mangler]

Can't wait to see if there are comments about the gloves on the machine (abt 2:03)... Thumbs up and thanks for posting!

[@supernewuser]

Beautiful knife. You should enter Forged in Fire. It would probably be a fun challenge for you.

[@grenvillerichardskelton4815]

perfect for men with big knuckles , all those chefs knives in shop are always too small for my big hands,,

[@glassblastcollision]

My brother works at the dump so I have a 5 gallon pail of saw blades .Ill have to try to make a couple knives! Good job Jimmy!

[@jackthompson5092]

Fantastic knife Jimmy. I have moved my subscription to this my new iPad.

[@ricksolari9570]

Beautiful! Tell us how you resealed that acetone container.

[@guiturtlewood]

I don't think he does. But if you wanted to, a glob of hot melt glue or caulk over the hole would do the trick. Or tape. Or a nail.

[@grumbleghoul]

I was waiting for the burrito chop... It's not a Diresta Large Knife video until it chops a Burrito!

[@woodendiode]

2:35 On the sixth day of Christmas my saw blades gave to me... 42 knife blanks!

[@dugger2579]

So brand of super glue was that ive made many knives and always used epoxy except one time I used jb wield.

[@jerrywooton4308]

I wonder what would happen if u mixed epoxy and playdoh for the handle would it be strong ?? Also won’t that blade rust

[@oges74]

Wow nice! Even Mick Dundee would be impressed with that knife! 🐊

[@joseexpeditocolaresfilho9908]

[@kusler67]

When are you going to make a burrito making video? Also how have you not made a grill that brands your logo into food? Feel free to use those ideas.

[@chetleonard169]

More of a CLEVER than a knife. Looks handy, don't piss off Taylor! lol

[@mayoboy9612]

Jimmy I got a question, do you make that food at the end? Cause it looks damn good. So I gotta ask, can we have a cooking epsiode?

[@tracybowling1156]

One more comment. Well question. Anyway, what is the white of the handle made of?

[@normanmachinetool]

forget the knife, we need to see how to make that crunchwrap supreme!

[@victorrodolfososa9225]

you should have engraved a DIRESTA on the knife blade

[@yourube35]

Wonder if the galvanic reaction corroding the steel will be an issue. Will that glue layer be enough to prevent that?

[@Timmy6216]

I'm I awe of the reuse of old saw blades. It's not about having more, but about waisting less.

[@warrenmunn3224]

Now thats a Knife, lol. When are we going to see Part 2 of the DiResta Camper Trailer?

[@masterofnone]

Magazine and arm hair approved. Come here burrito 🌯!

[@riccroft710]

That old saw steel is something else. Really like the finished product, nice work.

[@konstantint3345]

Успехов вам! Осталось только пожелать - травить клинки так как быстро пойдет коррозия, после помидоров или лимона. Самый простой способ прокипятить в лимонной кислоте.

[@nooralkhateeb21]

Is it suitable for food use ?? I mean this type of steel .. As usual very beautifull work

[@666project]

i have seen lots of diresta videos so i know he is going to shave of his arm hair. but for a new viewer watching him make a big knife and then to watch him roll up his sleeve and taking the knife too his wrist. i can imagine them to think something else.

[@paullypark7924]

Bet that nick on his numb was from that damn wicked edge type sharpener.

[@dannyryan5642]

My dumbass was waiting for him to make the blade of this knife serrated... like a saw blade

[@therish7169]

With a knife that big, it could almost be :roll up sleeve, remove arm. 🤣

[@unarinemalatji5138]

That would look perfect with a Micheal Myers costume

[@RGSABloke]

Hey Jimmy, Tom Lipton would be proud of all that filing.

[@vinceianni4026]

Hello Jimmy Diresta beautiful knife good job well done

[@mehmeteminkaya1389]

Herzamanki gibi çok iyi muhteşem 👏👏

[@S7tronic]

Ideal for Christmas, i would call it the outlawed in-law dispatcher.

[@rsrrhino]

What steel do you think that saw blade was made from? 1075?

[@k.cashman427]

Coming soon - JIMMY: FRIDAY THE 13TH PART XX!

[@jfmaniac5118]

Great craftsmanship! Is there a lucky buyer who gets the arm hair too lol

[@jayhitek]

Jimmy made the knife from the Insane Clown Posse logo.

[@amaroussama]

Why you don't make a magnetic holder for the belt sander????

[@wicked650s]

A knife? So uncharacteristic of Jimmy to make a knife....

[@thekiltedblacksmith2948]

What are the TPI of your bandsaw blade that cuts corian and brass so easily?

[@perro_dinamita]

Jimmy, test the knife with a huge "asado argentino"!!! X-)

[@davidwhiren817]

Right as you did that , I was thinking , what a big honking chopper !!!
