In this blacksmithing video, I will show you how I used a crowbar from the hardware store and forged it into a knife. This metalworking project was inspired by the Roughrider Bowie knife. Overall the forged knife came out a little bit smaller than I wanted, and it is not at all a perfect execution.., but I did learn some valuable lessons while working on this that I’ll bring into my next forged knife project build. I did have to add some (bad) weld off camera to widen the handles .. you can see the porosity in the handles final edge. I hope you enjoy this project build!

Hey all - Just a quick update to let you know that My Giant DiResta Razors are Now Live Here: imakeny.com/products/diresta-razor-blade
I can't be the only one who assumed this was going to be a knife on one end and a crowbar hook on the other, as one piece. But that would be lunacy.
you can eat the crow now
I didn't assume that was going to happen, but I hoped for it.
yup, I thought the same ... this is gonna be a cool knife ..... and then 2:15 happened. It is still a nice looking knife though.
Thought crossed my mind in the final shot, knife and crowbar together. Still could happen, there is enough crowbar left over.
I hoped it would be a crowbar-handled knife.
Love watching you make stuff, reminds me of my childhood watching my dad make stuff in the shop. Precious moments in my life where time seemed to stand still as a project took shape one moment at a time. Thanks for sharing Jimmy!
You can always tell how long it's been since Jimmy made a knife by how much arm hair he has 😂 Beautiful work as always!!
Whenever you are making a knife I sit here with a huge smile...can't help it!
As always the man makes it look effortless. Nice trick drilling the holes for the scales.
Jimmy I can't say thank you enough, I have been watching your videos for a long time and you inspire me as well as many others. I wanted to take the time to thank you for all that you do and for showing that hard work and dedication will never go unseen. Keep great work 👍
Thank you dave!! Respect ✊🏻
Jimmy's girlfriend noticing the bald patch on his forearm: " You been making a knife again?" 😉
Love and respect!
Your armhair shows how long it’s been since the last sharp instrument was made😉
I knew we wouldn't go a whole video without Jimmy showing us why he's the bandsaw whisperer
Nice job Jimmy. Stay well.
Were so many people just use a power hammer for all the work jimmy goes at it with just a hammer for the most part. The man the legend jimmy diresta
After the heat treat the colour of the steel was beautiful. Great job as always.
Yeah that straw colour was perfect
I get the feeling Jimmy makes knives when the hair on his forearm starts to grow back. This was cool.
I think that is the first time I saw you wearing a Harley t-shirt in your videos! Great knife!
All I could think is, I have got to try this. Sure I don't have the oven, the shaper, the magnetic hold down etc, but as a little project that might fail it conjures up a compelling force wanting me to try. Thanks for inspiring me!
A true artist is not one who is inspired, but one who inspires others.
I really need the second video of the backhoe!!!
Soon ! Lots more to do
You just had to egg the haters on with cutting the pepperoni.🤣🤣 Love the process! 👍👍
Ring-spun yarn is made by twisting and thinning the cotton strands to make a very fine, strong, soft rope of cotton fibers. Ring-spun cotton t-shirts are more durable and last longer than their regular counterparts
Great Video , Thanks Jimmy !!
The leather handles you make are very nice too.
just good old fashioned diresta magic
The chorizo test is the best Nice work mate
Fantastic Jimmy! You bandsaw brass like it's soap! Just seeing you use that robust grinder belt and your buffer wheel that looks like an F150 differential is awesome!

The knife on the end of the crowbar looked damn badass!
Like how you painted those yellow tools white. I imagine there’s a story behind that. 😆
0:08 Hello Mr Freeman)))
Normal people: go to store buy a knife.
Jimmy Diresta: go to stor buy a crowbar, make it a knife.
I love it.
Well done Jimmy! That is a beautiful knife! I still say that you should be on the show "Forged In Fire"! 👍👍😉😉
congratulations you are a very good teacher And everything you make is perfect I wish you always well warm regards Spyros from London!!!👍🇬🇷
You sure got some nice tools Mr. DIRESTA.
You turn wood into gold 💙👍🏻👍🏻
New Diresta Series..."Will it cut!" The Salami edition... looks delicious
Seeing that Apple Watch, I couldn't even confirm this was actually Jimmy!! Great knife btw!!!
Just found your channel, I wish I had a workshop, but landlord won't let me have one. Beautiful knife you made there, well done dude.
Goodness you are an artist. Thanks for sharing.
I SOOOO wanted a burrito to get cut at the end... Alas... Thanks Jimmy!
Thanks Jimmy 👍
Adesso ho capito Maestro Jimmy, ogni volta che ti ricrescono i peli sul braccio fai un coltello per rasarteli ... ah ah ah ah .. è sempre un godimento vederti all'opera maestro, buon weekend.
I come to check up on your knife journey and here you are teaching me how to make a split guard with a bandsaw :p.
Great job Jimmy. I like this work 👍👍👍
Awesome video Jimmy! Just listened to Making it too, still my favourite podcast every week. Much love from Ireland.
They're pretty damn consistent. I remember being caught up about 100+ episodes in and took a break and was maybe 30 uploads behind. I haven't listened in maybe 2 years. What episode are they on now? And What's the funniest title they've used for one this year 😂?
jimmys ready for forged in fire. great show
Hello Jimmy Diresta beautiful knife good job well done
Coolest damn crowbar I’ve ever seen!
Stanley executives are partying hard right now
I recommend the Edge-On-Up sharpness tester. It gives a quantitative measurement of how sharp an edge is, much better than shaving your arm hair or slicing up paper. The feedback from this gadget allowed me to upgrade my sharpening skills from Mediocre to Barely Acceptable.
While I can see the value in that test for comparing blades or for quality control/batch testing in production work, real world use case tests are more relatable.
Y love your knife Jimmy!!
Looking forward to the knife crowbar.
nice work on the coffin handel bowey knive
It looks like you need a diamond dresser for your surface grinder.
Overall nice job. It will keeeeeeel!
You saw that too?
Crowbar...? Knife...?
Those are the two most beloved weapon of mine!
Need a leather scabbard for that now….something that would compliment the ‘Rough-Rider’ look of the blade.
So nice had to watch it twice!
Nice Knife, I especially like the coffin handle
Nice work, Jimmy!
My first thought was: "Jimmy's arm hairs must be getting long"
My thought was, here comes a chunk of skin.
Wonderful job! Everything is always simple, clear and creative! Huge like!
Wow amazing job !
tôi thấy các thứ phương tiện của bạn mình rất thích và hâm mộ vì ở đất nước mình và bản thân mình còn quá nghèo nên thấy mọi thứ của bạn mình rất thích mà bạn làm việc rất thông minh và sáng tạo
Love the little rough area right before the guard, as beautifully finished as it is that little area reminds us of where it all began.
You bought a new crow bar? Usually you rummage around in the shop and find what you need 😆
I didn't expect the 🐓 at the end!!
Nice...outstanding...love the profile and the shape. Like they say on forged in fire..🔥
"It will kill" 🤣👍🤠💯🇺🇸🎯✌
I'll bet the warranty is voided on the crowbar when you put that thing in the furnace 😎😎
Great looking knife!
THIS IS AWESOME! I love the bit of the blade that still has that rough forged look. This just sits well with me. I appreciate your art sir!
the knife was very beautiful
BEAUTIFUL KNIFE!
Thanks for showing the process.
Dope AF knife, @jimmydiresta! Now you've gotta stitch up an equally dope sheath to go with it!
Title made me think of the "knife wrench" :))
Very, Very, very good. Congratulations Brother. Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷
Nice job My Idol. Stay well. Best regards from Viet Nam !
Well. Time to start planning how to be cool if I run into Jimmy at the Home Depot.
That is a awsome Stanleyknife.
Always finish it off with breath mints.
You sir...are incredibly talented. Its a joy to watch you work
Skilled labor transforms.
I sense a sequel... Sheath the crow bar knife.
Nice! I came from your interview with Steve on the Woodworking show (or whatever he calls it)
People have probably stopped asking you why you keep having bald patches on your arms. Awesome work.
awesome. Hope there's a video for the sheath.
Jimmy makes so many sharp things that I’m surprised he still has hair on his arms to cut.
Can't wait to see what you do with the other half. A kukri maybe?
Creative way to get a bar of stock material.
Just by a crowbar.
Amazing, Jimmy... Really fantastic work! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
That Ipe handle really finishes off the solid feel of the knife!! Great work man
Nice coffin handle bowie.
I just love it when you post a new video! Thanks Jimmy!! And now make us a sheat for the knife 👌
Next video, please make a leather strap for your Apple watch 😍😍
Wowzer! Simply wow!
Well done!
Soy un admirador de todos sus trabajos...por eso le pregunto desde ya muchas gracias...
Awesome Build!
Thank You!
I am predicting a beautiful sheath video in the near future... Great video Jimmy, I like how you left a rough spot to speak to the process.
Thank you!
That’s a sharp looking knife
Привет Джимми. Очень красивый Боуи. У тебя все получается красиво.🤨👍
