Inspired by the giant utility knife blade created by Jimmy Diresta ( • DiResta Big Razor ), and the Stanley knife that it was modeled after, I created this giant knife perfectly to scale and entirely out of wood because stupid challenges are often the most rewarding. Put that on a t-shirt, or don't (probably don't). As soon as I saw Jimmy create the blade I knew this had to happen, I was able to get one from him and then decided to set the totally unnecessary requirement that it be made entirely out of wood because (everyone say it with me now) "I hate myself", good work everyone... The body is made from maple butcher block. The internal mechanism is made from 1/4" plywood, a piece of white oak for the spring because of it's flexibility, and it's handle is a piece cut from padauk. Lastly, the screw is turned on a lathe from a piece of chechen. For more details on the build, check out the build article linked above, or don't, I don't really mind. Either way, enjoy, you're a great person and I believe in you.

Here in Brazil we call it stiletto. And this is huge.
Interesting! I've herd a few names for it, but stiletto is definitely new
😊😉
Jackman Works I subscribed!
Thanks for inviting us along on your project.
Keep on throwing chips....
I’ll keep watching!
Hey. One thing I noticed you use frequently is carbon paper to copy a design to the wood. Maybe buy a fairly cheap projector and mount it on the ceiling pointing down, so when you need to copy something you can just project the image onto the wood. You can also easily resize it too. That's how we go about making big posters by hand for example.
Oh man, that was great! Also, I like the way you walk
You're rubbing off on me Bobby! That's a scary thought...
"Bobby Duke!!"
Commenting as well!! The man who's channel has grown faster in one year than any of the others makers!?
"Good job man!! I love your creations. Made me try carveing into a hunk of amethyst the snail swirl pattern you did in the rock.
TRY carving a LARGE GEMSTONE next BOBBY!!
Bobby Duke Arts is the new Minister of Silly Walks
Awesome brother awesome 👏🏻
Thanks so much for the inspiration on this one man!!! I'm honored to call you a friend 😍😍😍
jimmydiresta cute little love birds
Do you have to use two hands while working the turbo-shaft?
Only one hand if you're really experienced, but for best results I'd recommend 2
I am unable to like this comment since it is at the time at 69 likes.
This sounds like an innuendo
I scrolled down a bit and no one is talking about the reaction from the delivery man. it is perfect.
edit: only after I comment this I find comments about the delivery man
Hahahaha! I lost it when you put the knife in the blade storage slot. Well done sir 👏👏👏
The amount of craftsmanship (Jackmanship?) that went into this was amazing. Completely unnecessary and at the same time how did we ever live without this in the world before? Well done sir.
"Jackmanship" that's the first time I've heard of that and love it haha.
Crushed another one, Jackman. Every time I see another of your very practical projects I just imagine your mind is like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory on repeat. That's a compliment...I think.
You know what, Willy Wonka is probably the best way I've heard it described before. I imagine it's like being high all the time without actually being high lol
At last, someone making proper sized tools for all those odd little jobs around the house! Excellent. Thanks for sharing.
Someone has to open up the Amazon packages!
I think "Jackman Sized" needs to be a new standard of measurement in the Maker Community. Sweet build Paul.
The attention to detail on that was incredible. Nice work.
Using the washer as an offset to draw around the template is genius. Thank you for that. Wonderful video as always.
Nothing like a little phallic humor. 🤣. Always good to go for the low hanging fruit. Turned out amazing and the editing/camera work was fantastic.
self aware, soulful, funny... good shit man. i rarely watch "novelty" builds but there was a lot of techniques and skills used that i can learn here for more "practical" uses.
if nothing else, "self aware" is what I'm shooting for (no joke)
Paul... this is ridiculous... RIDICULOUSLY AWESOME!!
Right on brand ;)
You have excellent taste in mechanical pencils, sir. Also, that's a pretty sweet little knife you made there 😂 I can't even fathom how much time you put into projects like this, but it turned out super awesome man.
That's about 2 weeks of work right there haha. That pencil is literally the best thing ever though! I lost it during the move but just found it again. It's the best for the template work because to trace on the carbon paper I just use the metal tip which is the perfect size!
I haven't seen someone break out carbon paper in a while. Really brought me back.
I'm surprised I don't see it more than I do! Much easier IMO than gluing a template on and then trying to clean that up
Maybe you'll start that trend.
Hands down the best thing you've ever posted on you tube. Great job man!
That means a lot, thanks Dave
This is magnificent. One of the finest things I’ve watched you make, which is saying something. It’s truly wonderful.
Thanks man!!
DUDE!!! thats my favorite thing you made yet!!!!
oh man, I've got some work to do to upstage this one then
You are my spirit animal.
This was so worth the wait!
ha! thanks Greg!
I only just now watched the Diresta giant razor video for the first time and suddenly found myself needing this video. Both videos are awesome!
Love that the screw is also made of wood. Pretty awesome video! Will be sharing👍
Brilliant!!!
New fav TH-cam Craftsman, talented creative work, awesome music and editing and subtle hilarities. Thanks for the awesome entertainment
Just when you think Jackman can't Jackman anymore than he's previously Jackman'd. Awesome work, dude!
Looked away for a second. Looked back and u were actually making the legit internals n screws n such. I then realized I had to close my mouth as my jaw dropped. Props sir. Props.
Your attention to detail is mind boggling. Love it and it really works!!! Very cool. :)
So glad to see you did the guts to the knife, well done
You don't have to be crazy to take on projects like this one, but you convinced me that it sure helps.
Hahaha. Such a fun project to watch. Killed it again bud. So creative!
ahhhhhhhhhhh, now we know where Jackman comes from! Nice build
Just brilliant! I loved the Bobby Duke walk, too.
I'm not sure how many people would catch the reference, so I'm glad someone already did lol
You sir have incredible skills... between the carving and the video editing... top shelf!
That might just be the coolest thing I've ever seen.
I like the build, the details, the editing, the comedic bits, even the background music!! #SUBSCRIBED
I think it's the best channel that I know...100%
Best video ever. Perfect mix of humor, instruction and inspiration.
What a great maker community. Love you guys work, both you and Jimmy. I lost it when you blurred out the sanding part 😂
Dude that's insane! And to think you did all of that twice! Mind blowing! Nice job!
Love the attention to detail here. Turned out awesome!
Great job... really great job. Well done from Greece.
I'm a new subscriber coming in from Jimmy's channel. I loved this video- the pacing was great, and the humor was spot on. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Jay! Glad to have you.
This is pretty awesome man. I have a turboplane and I definitely don’t use it enough.
Thanks Brian! That's definitely one of the favorite tools in my arsenal
Wow, Paul! 😳 I am almost speechless at how cool this is! Not only does the size match, but all the fine details... Wow. This belongs in a museum. So incredibly cool. Just an awesome job, sir! 👍🏼
That means more than your realize. I poured a lot in this piece trying to make it perfect, glad you enjoyed it!!
This is so bonkers! Everything about it took some serious engineering....just getting the printout scaled to the blade must have taken some serious planning.
Thanks man!! Luckily I'm used to making giant things now so scaling things up for templates has become a process :)
I love it. Yours is one of my favorite TH-cam channels. Thanks for sharing.
That is one of the coolest things I've ever seen! So cute how the original fits in the blade holder
Enjoyed the post man at the end as well
the editing on this video was very good im not gonna lie
liar! ;)
Good job man! I fully expected this to be the usual CNC everything but the cardboard box, but some people still know how to use tools!
My hands are a CNC ;)
That's a pretty sharp knife. Great job!
Thank you for the videos you share with the community. I always have a laugh while learning something watching your content. That is not easy to do, and I love the way you makes stuff just to make stuff. There doesn't have to be a need or reason to make something other than the pure joy of building it yourself!
Thanks Marcus! I couldn't ask for more than that
thought you were kidding... guess not. you really did it.
Thanks for bringing normal serious woodworking back to your channel
Lord of the woodchip, came out amazing!!
Can't wait to see yours!!
Great project, Paul, I love the way you Jackmansize your work! So detailed.
Thanks for sharing.
Great upscale project man. A lot of work but turned out great. Arbortech thank you for enabling us makers to make cool stuff.
That's like upscale in the truest sense of the word. ha
Great project!!! Love the editing.
So awesome Paul! Don’t forget Jimmy’s name on the floor.... - Jim
Seriously, I should stop it with the name drops, I almost tripped over that thing
another awesome creation and awesome video
Why would 93 people not like this. Great job man, keep it up. Thanks for sharing your skills and craft
This was awesome. Ideas for power carving jackman size, big carolina boat, 2 massive soles of boots then leave big foot pints everywhere. A sewing thimble to show of you gentle side but big enough to let people know your not that gentle . Baseball cap big enough for 2 or 3 people to wear. Hope this gives a bit of inspiration
11:14 mark, yeah buddy!!! You sir are the man, amazeballs as always!
You're the best!! Used the branding iron too :) This was almost more of Hillview WM video than it was an Arbortech video haha
Great video, project ideas, great edit and music. That's the reason I subbed 🙂🙂
Wow...Wow...now got to build a new toolbox to hold that beautiful cutter...great job...enjoyed vid...
Jackman - you never fail to amaze!
Beautifully edited, wonderfully exhibited skills, fascinating to watch!
You have a gift.
:))
Thanks so much Skippy!!
You are just way to clever and creative! Give me some of that talent.
Keep watching Kevin, I might rub off on you haha
Parabéns...... Muito talentoso e caprichoso nos detalhes.
Fantastic video! The attention to detail is amazing and the scale is perfect. I’ll be at the Maker Faire NY and can’t wait to swing by the booth and hopefully meet you. Keep up the great videos.
Sweet!! See you next month
dust mask paul. i need you alive doing this for a long time
You're right!!
Unbelievable. Incredible detail.
Awesome!!! That is just nuts! I'll definitely be at Maker Faire NYC ... see you there!
See you then!!
Cool idea. It came out great.
Great job Paul. Well done!!
Super cool! Nicely done!
that's so awesome. well done sir
Muito bom e difícil projeto bem elaborado deve ter sido feito com muitas horas de trabalho e atenção nos mínimos detalhes parabém obrigado por compartilhar.
Man that’s incredible. Awesome, purely awesome. Great job
Nothing short of awesome Mr J! I've been very much looking forward to this one and it's really exceeded all expectations. Great job Sir.
Thanks Mr J! haha
So cool, Paul! Love the Jackman sized utility knife. And that footage with your mailman at the end was priceless. ha ha. Wish I could go to Maker Faire next month...maybe next year.
Thanks!! Hope to see you next year then, for now you can live vicariously through my YT channel since I'm going to make a build video of the project there
Wow. Great build. A lot of intricate details. Great job 👍
Paul that is Awesome dude
Totally amazing! Getting it to look right is one thing, but working just like the original... over the top! You da' man.
Top Shelf stuff there Jackman that's the bombdiggity. Rock on Sir...
This is, without doubt, one of the coolest projects I have seen!! Great work!!!
4:03 hahahaha too funny!!!! great video and AWESEOME work!!
I've seen some weird stuff, but dang. One of the main things that makes the utility knife so handy is its convenient size. OH WELL SO MUCH FOR THAT.
haha I'm not much for conventions, I'm on my way to slowly Jackman sizing everything :)
Great craftsman, always happy about a new project from you.
Greetings from Germany
by rights the best utility knife design evolution.
Great project, and I loooooved the scribing with a washer trick @11:11
so handy!
Awesome work! Thanks for sharing
Great build Paul . Fun
Impressive Work!
Greetings from Germany
That ingenious idea 💡! , very cool , 👍👍👍👍👍
I was wondering if anyone would make this. Awesome.
I was the first but I don't think I'll be the last!
That is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen! Awesome job!
I love this - so impressive. Great video too. Entertaining, informative and relaxing all at the same time.
My favorite video for ages - great work 👍
thanks so much!!
Amazing work. So cool!
Amazing work! Sure spent a lot of time on this but it turned out awesome.
Thanks!!
So just when we start to think we’re getting pretty slick at making our own content this guy comes along and schools us, both in craftsmanship and videography. I feel like I shoot my vids on a Fisher Price now! Subbed Mr Jackman. 👍🏻
Glad to have you Berry!
Very cool Paul. Has been fun following the build on your Instagram, and then seeing it all come together
