In my latest shop project video, I partner with Nicks Boots to develop a boot knife. The initial concept for this boot knife came from Nicks, I took their idea of the knife and developed it to be semi practical. This idea needs more development of course... will this ever be a manufactured idea? Maybe. I will beta test it and keep thinking and tinkering, making this boot knife a practical and readily available tool to have nearby.
Nicks Handmade Boots has been making the toughest work boots since 1964. Their boots are USA made by skilled craftsmen in Spokane, WA.

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
fork in the other boot?
nice work, really like the clicky clip!
🙏🏼🤘🏻⚡️⚡️⚡️
Good stuff ,TOT approved!
You really need the fork and a matching clip on the back of the second boot so anyone seeing you from behind sees a decorative motif inspired by spurs.
There is no Spoon.
Spoon goes on the pants...?
Officer: Do you have any weapons?
Jimmy: leatherman, box cutter, pocket knife, belt, ice pick
Officer: Anything else?
Jimmy: probably should mention the boots
"leatherman, box cutter, pocket knife, belt, ice pick .. boot (knife)"
First 3 on that list I can legally carry in public where I live. The belt and boot knives could get me in big trouble as concealed weapons if the law officer decided he didn't like me and wanted to enforce the "law".
@@hanelyp1 I live in scotland, you arent even allowed to walk around with a potato pealer
@@grizta30 try a coin sap. Mean gene leather makes a rad one called the hot tamale. I have the hot tamale 2 which is less conspicuously a weapon
& last but not least , my mind is a weapon !!!
@@grizta30
Just carry a really big potato
I'm imagining Jimmy doing this with one cold foot on the shop floor
Nicks boots have an insane amount of leather in them.
@@drakeorion94 i think he means he only had one boot on while making this as he was cutting a hole in the other
Yea, he 100% socked around the shop with that funky gate people have when they are only wearing one shoe during the making of this video.
walking around , boot /sock , boot sock !!!

I'm glad I got my Nick's a few years ago. I have a feeling these two channels might make for a longer wait time 😉
remember those lame shoes in the 90's that would light up whenever you take a step? Those predate heelys.

Admit it, you make knives as soon as your girl calls you HAIRY...
Lol
What...? Beta ass dude
Don’t get it? Explain
How about big boy , always big boy !!!
cause of the sharpness test where he shaves a bit of his arm, y'all.
With as many knifes as Jimmy makes I'm surprised he has any hair left on his arms to shave. :)
He's Italian. Where non-Italians grow skin cells, they just grow hair.
Someone else's arm
@@mattberg916 Hahaha stunt double arm. :)
Do not forget, he also has a pair of legs.
Who shaves their arms?
ready for cuttin some rug
The bee's knee's & the cat's meow !!!
The satisfying clicking snap closed. My favorite!
And that’s why we have to take off our shoes at the airport. 🤦🏻♀️😁
No it isn't. They're looking for explosives. Shoe exams started after the guy tried to use a shoe bomb.
@@richardmaclean5846 - Right, right, and they’ll turn a blind eye to knives in boots 🤔
@@JosephQPublic He said that's why we have to take our shoes off. It's not. And I don't know what the current restrictions are, but they lifted the ban on knives for a while.
Just remember not to wear those to the airport!
Or in England , you'd soon hear the Allo Allo Allo .
@@leerogers6423 oi bruv, you got a loicense for that opinion?
Add the state of california to that list, concealed weapon.
Anyone else think Jimmy took the boot off and continued to work with only one boot on till he finished? Looks awesome!
A self defense style support obviously! 😎
Everyone knows he was wearing a Croc on the naked food...probably a steel toed Croc.
Put a brass "spur" on the other boot as well. People will question why there's only 1 spur.
better yet just put another boot-knife in the other one, that way the weight is evenly distributed as well.
@@codyray3344 That works, too.
how does it feel? can you feel something hard under your heel, or is it the normal comfort?
Normal totally normal
@@jimmydiresta that's cool AF brother.. my only question is does it comprise the build of the boot ?
@@blindmelonlemonjello worked as a shoemaker and it should not some replacement heals are hollow
This is sick
This one comment made me stick through the 15 second add that wouldn’t load and that I couldn’t skip to see the video
After watching, that is sick lol
Sick? Is that the same as clever or ingenious?

Can totally picture somebody picking these up at a second hand store years later thinking “wtf???”
Totally original and creative as usual! 🤙
If he like most people, work boots are not a fashion item. By the time we are done wearing them there is no second hand left in them.
Second foot?
@@user-neo71665 these are “Nicks” boots. They will probably out last him.
@@nicolastousignant9160 if you fit 2 feet in a work boot then you aint working so it aint a work boot. Do your kinky stuff behind closed doors.
@@user-neo71665 they're Nick's boots. They're not an item that wears out. As much as Jimmy is a worker, he's a leather worker. He knows about leather and how to care for it, and he will care for it. Nick's boots go back to be rebuilt, and the kind of work Jimmy does isn't super tough on boots (when compared to other trades), except for the outsole. He also has other boots, and probably won't wear these ones 10 hours a day, 5 days a week. So these boots will never get worn out, if he cares for them and send them back for resole every few years, and a 1-2 rebuilds over his lifetime. These are boots he'll be able to pass on to his kid. (Figuratively speaking, as he has no kids.)
Seam sealer! It’s almost like you’ve recently been doing auto body work! Love the click of the latch!
It’s incredible stuff !!
How freaking cool is this, only on this channel will you see such badassery
See TOT
& on display for all to see !!!

All the TSA agents watching this right now are using their "small Jimmy" voice.
Not asking to be critical, but because I legitimately do not know. Why go through all the trouble of hammer forging, if your plan is to grind all of the contours to shape in the end anyway.
Or filing before taking it to the belt grinder.... My guess is it's in the name of making content, not efficiency. Not being overly critical, just an observation.
Might not matter much in this particular case, but forging alters the crystalline structure of the steel and can make a stronger product.
Awesome!
Now you just need to start a bar fight!
Hey Jimmy where could I get those type of jeans?
Seconded.
Seriously... loose, functional work wear?

First? Lol. On a serious note, I'm watching the file,work and thinking about how much an artist you are!What a great way to mod the Nicks boots!
🤘🏻🤘🏻🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼✊🏻
Rick Grimes (walking dead) needs this in his life. And so do I. Love it !!!!
My kid says “Is that a knife?”
I say “Yes it is!”
He says “What for?”
I say “Cutting cheese.”
And spreading potted meat on the job
Lol.
I would have said cutting nuts. ;)
....?
The click it makes when it locks in place = *chef's kiss*
This has to be the baddest thing u ever made great job
I like the retaining clip, and the fact you left the forge finish on the handle, great as always Jimmy.
the forgers brush strokes !!!
I love how much I learn from watching your videos Jim 👍🏻 ever since the first ice pick where you began using silver solder on brass to attach the loop, now I never forget that and know exactly how your brass parts come together in subsequent projects. The problem solving that went into this one is exactly the kind of puzzle I enjoy - once the sheath went into the heel “I dunno, is the friction fit going to be enough to retain the knife? Ohhhh that’s good!” That clasp was a stroke of brilliance and that *click* when it catches was so so satisfying! Thanks for these videos Jim, you’re the man!
Nice idea, but as a bootmaker i can tell you that you will loose this knife imedately ;)
Ahhh. A little road house action
PATRICK would be proud
You come for the craftsmanship... you stay for the comments section.
That click tho......nice work Jimmy!

You just ruined those boots
Детский сад, походу боевиков пересмотрел)))
Éo làm gì. Vớ vẩn. Thế này mà TH-cam nó cũng duyệt.
Both of these boot knives are very cool! Though, I'm starting to worry about Nick. What's he getting into? Haha!
Боже мой!Дружище,да у тебя с головой еще хуже чем у меня)
Now thats what I'm talking aboot.
You Canadian eh?
Hell yea & with change left over !!!
excellent solution.... Diresta number one 👍
Genius!!!!!! Love it Jimmy! So James bond!!
Ты зачем ботинок испортил?
Love this one! The “click” when you snap the safety shut was particularly satisfying 🤤. Nice work Jimmy!
Just wondering if a magnet could be used to retain the push-dagger instead of the brass spur-thingy?
Pretty sure that is Illegal in California haha
I'm guessing New York as well?
@@andrewc9790 daggers are only illegal in New York if you have "dangerous intent". Which is super ambiguous and seems like one of those things they will use as an excuse to pop you on if they don't like you.
Most places have very grey laws surrounding knives in general
@@drakeorion94 yeah I think they do it on purpose. Either that or they are just THAT incompetent.
@@Kazues_ If you carry a dagger, I'll infer you're up to no good. It's not a toy.
my name is BOND

Awesome work, but wtf.. Are you Naruto or what? This is just a peace of scrub.
Exquisite build Jimmy, Thank you and Nicks Boots !
Me in Ukraine: Zombi apocalypse is a fake problem.
Jimmy Diresta: making a hidden knife in the boot
Me: shit...
Now all you’re missing is a handcuff key slot
That’s in my belt.
That explains the real reason why Nicks prefers those tall boot heels it is to have a place to keep your knife! I have got a pair of builder pros that have been breaking me in since Christmas. :-)
That's freaking sweet.
I love the aesthetic and the snap the catch makes is super, super satisfying.
Not so fun fact - this kind of knife is called a "push dagger", possession alone carries a maximum sentence of 4 years in the UK. Hiding it inside your boot is a separate offence under the same act, which carries the risk of a separate sentence for 4 years. 8 years for a spicy boot!
I have a suspicion those laws date back to the Victorian era?
@@FKreider Still applicable, for good reason.
Wow 😲 I love it, so badass. The clip to hold it in not only functional but looks awesome. 🔥
The brass stop is the real impressive idea, great Jimmy always a step forward !!
That was awesome ...wish I had one of those myself . Great work
*Baby Voice "Sure, but what kind of arch support does it have???" 😉
Hahaha, cat says "move your feet, lose your seat" and just stole the show!!😅
Yeah, what is up with that cat though? It looks like it's lost a lot of it's fur! Got too close to the forge maybe?
Jimmy would be the type of guy that you buy all the rare weapons from in a video game.
Awesome!
Ready for a night out at the Double Deuce!
Terribly underrated comment!
Cutting up $500.00 boots🤔
Awesome project Jimmy. The shape of the blade reminds me of a shark tooth.........The shark tooth knife.

I’d love that I think if I didn’t use the toe of one boot to pull on the heel of the other when I’m taking them off 🤷🏻♂️
Waste of a good boot if you ask me !
Man I would definitely do this on "cowboy" boots, And use spurs for the locking mechanism. I don't know the correct term for those kinds of boots but heck if it would not be nice.
they have a riding heel version & a walking heel version !!!
Strike two. 3rd time's a charm?
Strike one did 3million views. 😎
But what did you wear when you were making it. When I like to picture is a one booted Jimmy hobbling around the shop. That’s what I like to picture oh yeah almost forgot… I love you
"what are all these dents on the coffee table?"
You should try a version with your ice pick down the spine of the boot.. or even in the same spot you hid the knife.
for speed , the sleeve knife & under the opposite arm pit can't be beaten !!!
the knife was super cool but i got incredibly distracted by the cat
That might be the raddest thing I’ve ever seen made, seriously. This is what I want to do with my life, make cool random shit. Not sure if there is a way to make money making custom boot knife like things, but damn it would be amazing to do so
Jimmy makes "Shadow Daggers" from Counter Strike :)
The holding part is too much visible, i like the first part but not the end.You should like my portable scredriver.
I would suggest focusing more on the finish of your final product, your finish is always a bit under par ;)
Okay, but if you try to use this at the Double Deuce, Patrick Swayze is gonna throw your boot on the roof.
Great build, they’re gonna love you at the airport. What can you tell me about that orange grinding wheel you used?
It’s a Pferd Polifan flap disc. Look at makeeverythingshop’s recent video about grinding inside corners for a description.
DiResta IndiscReet ! A hidden knife!
Just a joke!!!
Beautiful work, man!!!
The latch was a stroke of genius! Now you need a spring in the bottom of the scabbard so the knife pops out when you flip the latch.
Jimmy. Mad Max would be super jealous of this. Bad ass brother.
Yo Jimmy good stuff
*Jimmy got a 3" lift on his boots.*
*I always wondered why some days he looks shorter than others.*
No way those screws hold. Looked like the grain was going to split. Still awesome
At the very beginning of the video, me: "Now he's Jimmy Ballesta"
Then I realized I would have to explain the bad joke: "ballesta" in Spanish means "bow" (what William Tell used to shoot arrows) and it's also the name of that kind of suspension for cars and trucks.
Now, back to our usual programming.
I could watch this guy work all day!! love what he does with boot knives...... and I know how high quality those custom nick boots are!!... PLEASE PLEASE MORE BOOT KNIFE VIDEOS IM A FAN
Does it pull to the left when you walking? Do we need to add weight to the right to balance it?
My T level rose just by watching this.
Watching with interesting before broking boot... Every time left thinking: (нафига...)"Why..."
Hope you make another for the other side :) , superb creation once again!
Robert Conrad would have loved this. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wild_Wild_West
Dear Sir
It is an amazing knife. And your style is killing.
I’ll never forget Jimmy’s brother John crackin jokes about Jimmy’s arms being hairier than an Armenian woman!
John’s so flipping funny...
No sir, officer..
I don't know anything about any dagger sir, my boots came this way. No sir I wear these for step dancing...
