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!

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.

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.

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

Got so involved in the making process I completely missed the shape of the handle 😂 Your bandsaw carving skills…..even with brass. So much to see in this video .

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

I loved the way you showed the finish product a couple of times throughout, especially when it was a close up of what you were working on while you were working on it. Great use of storytelling in a simple and well done way.

Jimmy , I remember in your podcasts on serveral occasiobs over the years you have commented on how your knife making skills wasn't ready. After seeing you do this project, I for one think you have graduated in knife making abilities. Thank you again for continuing to show off your skills to all of us. 🙏

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.

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

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

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

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

What a magnificent piece of work 🍺

Watching Jimmy Diresta use a band saw makes you realize that gods do walk amongst us!

Glorious transformation: Leaf spring to knife of the phantom rider, harmony with the boots & day, such a splendid watch on all hallows day with so much teaching & skill transfer. Thank you for sharing!

Always worth to see a master where he picks to cut a corner or chooses to eat the toad alive - one always can learn more. Especially here at Maser Jimmy who walks the talk.

Jimmy makes everything look easy

Big love for when you make a knife using some white-painted tools. Reminds me of when I first started watching you in that little, NY basement. Thanks for all the years.

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!

You have quite the collection of boots with knives that go with them. Great vid

That slow motion at the heat treating was nail-biting. I think Jimmy’s slow-mo accidents have traumatized me for life. 4:33

Those boots are wicked awesome, but of course, they don't have the cool ones in women's sizes, oh well... awesome blade and wonderful video showing all of the processes. Nailed it!! ❤

''Hahaha....that's a not a knife. That's a KNIFE!'' - Crocodile Dundee 🗡

Now that’s a knife!!! Amazed at the ability to use a bandsaw and dremel tool to carve those skulls. Not surprised, but definitely AMAZED.

Incredible. Andrew is gonna be so excited.

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

Jimmy is just new boot goofin

Wow! Jimmy is amazing! It takes me 5 days to make a knife handle.

You have a Maker’s dream workshop!!🙌🏼

That thing is straight up gorgeous

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. 🙏

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

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

Wow! B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L! 😍😍😍

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

Skulltastic work as always

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

The Ghost Rider would be proud to carry that.

A Masterpiece... OUTSTANDING 💯👍✌

Amazing level of craftsmanship

Always a pleasure to see a craftsman at work, especially when we get an episode of the bandsaw artist along with it.

Bro I would love to be a fly on the wall of your shop watching you create for a day. I would sit there quietly in awe of all the cool things you can do.

Jimmy, your talent never ceases to amaze me!😮

Thank you so much for this video!!!❤❤❤

Awesome Bowie Jimmy. Love how it's still got some of the hammer marks and the skulls really set it off. TBH, wouldn't have surprised me if you had made those boots too. 👍

Jimmy a true craftsman. Everything you produce inspires me, fantastic job!

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

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.

This is the good old jimmydiresta that I subscribed to a long time ago. thank you for the video in the best traditions of the channel.

Now that would get me to the front of Saturday night taxi queue in Glasgow. 🥃🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Great artist/craftsman combo, your fluidity with the tools is most impressive.

Very cool and well done

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

Beautifully done, Jimmy. Thanks for sharing.

So that’s where my leaf spring from my old ford ended up!

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!!!!

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 💪🏼

Freaking awesome ! A cut above the rest !

Amazing detail👍👍

Now that is a proper Texas Toothpick!

jimmy diresta, el maker con mas herramientas en el planeta tierra y alrededores, todo acompañado de mucha calildad 👏

Wow wow wow, love it 😱😍😍😍😛

Awesome build! Very cool grind on the knife and a neat grinding setup!

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

Now that's a knife.

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

Great combination of elements and perfect companion to the boots!

Gotta love the blood that goes into a Jimmy Diresta Edit! The Master! Happy Halloweenie!

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

Absolutely amazing work; so many skills on display here.

Amazing JD

Excellent work as usual sir! Very fitting knife for the day the video was published.

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

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

I love the leatherwork Jimmy!

Heck of a letter opener! Nice.

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

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

So cool! Now that's a knife!

You just put Crocodile Dundee to shame Jimmy. Now, that's a knife!

Power hammer face is on point!

Very cool

The coffin handle and the skulls, super cool and fitting for spooky season

happy halloween and happy podcast anniversary! been a fun ride listening to you guys over the years!

thank you!

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!

Is there anything you CAN'T do? It's like you are highly skilled in every type of maker's work.

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

Awesome job, Jimmy!! Knife looks sick!!

Awesome work

Now that's a knife

Just another awesome product

Magnifico trabajo, extrañaba este tipo de videos, son inspiradores.

Awesome work Jimmy! Those little skulls sure give it the flare--cool design.

Wow! Jimmy, that is one badass knife and sheath. From a piece of rusty metal and some materials on hand, you've made a really cool usable blade!

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

Dang dude, that is a beautiful Bowie!

Definitely cool on this Halloween. Cool boots too

Happy Halloween, who gave the editor free rain to frienten us with the sound that resembles dark music?
