As always, I started watching this with my 7 year old twins, but had to leave them to it and get dinner on the grill. My son gave me a play-by-play, "Papa, Jimmy's putting it in the oven!" My daughter gasped when the oil went on the wood, "It's SOOOOOOO pretty!" Now my son wants one just like it, but made by Jimmy. Heck, I chopped down a tree earlier today, and when I whacked the axe into the stump for a minute, they both said, "Hey, you did that just like Jimmy!" Crazy cool stuff, glad we can all check it out. Thanks.
Nice! As a self-professed "expert" and knife nerd, I hereby testify you did a fine job, especially with such a complex shape on A2! Your knowledge of materials, broad experience and artistic ability obviously help. It's a beautiful design worthy of any magic ritual or human sacrifice. Now, go to Wall street, find a banker and... ;-)
A couple helpful tips: Score the edge. Clean up the edges of the stock before creating the main grind, and set up a carbide bit of some sort to be half the thickness of the stock above your table. Move the stock along it to score a centerline, and flip it over and repeat incase it's a little off. Then you have a centerline to grind to. I've never done a Kris blade like that, but personally I would have used a slackbelt, especially since you have a nice Beaumont grinder to take advantage of. Edge facing up so you can carefully grind to the centerline, and maintain a consistent angle to get the blade's geometry nice and pretty.
I mean, I don't know anything about metal, but I think mister DiResta here knows what he's doing. There is a reason for everything he does. Maybe it's some cosmic force, or maybe he is the cosmic force. Go figure.
I'm southeast asian, feels really proud to see your work on keris look aliked blade. It's so amazing it would be the stealthiest blade because no one will expecting the blade inside the wood stick. sorry for the bad english.
Very cool indeed, although I did have to mute it during the angle grinding phase because the sound reminded me of my last trip to the dentist!Good job man, consider me inspired to make a knife like this!Greetings from Germany!
I'm not sure how many people will understand just how impressive it is that you got that initial edge profile with a 9" grinder and a carbide bit in a die grinder. That's some pretty solid tool control there, Jimmy. Nice work!
+justinbieberfan 0000 This is not the kind of blade you will be swinging all day long, it's for poking someone with and then putting straight back in the sheath, also the less it looks like a knife the better ; )
+John Smith aye but with a stabbing weapon its preferable to have a contoured handle as stabbing can cause you hand to slide down the handle and onto the blade if there is little resistance
+justinbieberfan 0000 i think it's just more of an artistic decision - most knife blades have straight lines and curvy handles, this one is the opposite with a curvy blade and a straight handle
+eformance Yeah i noticed it too. Interesting choice, given that earlier he explained that he wasn't planning on buying one. Did you have a near-accident, +jimmydiresta? Or is it a sponsor (because the logo is so clearly visible)
Super cool blade. Had to be such a chore to put an edge on all those curves... I love that in the sheath, it pretty much appears to be a block of wood with a hint of brass.
in Malaysia, Keris is considered the hardest combat weapon to make, even for veterans here since its a passed-on type skills by previous generations. Definitely a thumbs up to you for making this. A good test of skills indeed 👍
very nice work on the blade, a little tip to avoid a gap between the blade and the brass inlay, file down the metal of the knive at the part where the blade ends and the brass part goes, so you have to put it from the other side but there's no way there can be a gap. keep up the great work!
Cause he doesn't want to give free advertising to the company that makes said tool. Cause there are other company's that he is sponsored by so it would be unfair for the company's that pay him.
That is my name. If you ever have been bootlegged by Liveleak or break you would understand. Ever Frame has my brand and it can't be removed. End. period. Branding stays with the product.
Now that you have that pat down it would be really cool to see your spin on the trident the weapon that Poseiden uses. Overall your inspiration is teaching us all a few tricks. Thank you DiResta.
Emang kris dari indonesia bung!! Malaysia.. Brunei. Filipines. Thailand. Itu indonesia bung.. Tahun 1200-1400 masehi.. Jadi kris itu menyebar luas ke penjuru nusantara
@@buoy9665 My big family (which is part of Japanese keraton) have this weapon. It's a weapon, although not to comfortable to handle, it's actually often used as a medium for magic and spiritual things, often filled with supernatural entity inside of it. My family's has a white snake entity inside of it. Also the handle isn't supposed to look like that, the real one supposed to look like a normal knife handle
Very interesting piece. Reductive blade making is an awesome way to make some of your first blades. I dig it's covert nature. Somewhat akin to some katana blades I've studied, that look like an innocuous walking stick until drawn. Another cool vid bro!
As with every other Diresta project, it's fantastic. I don't know if he lives in New York anymore, but Gavko makes knives. you guys should do a collaboration knife. That would be amazing.
I have two keris, they were from my grandfather. Maybe also from his grandfather and grandfather.. Nowdays no one could make it, purely keris. Only miniature, or just a knife shaped like keris
Keris is original knife from java, in earlier times in java you must be someone who has a high magic to be able to make a keris, coz it's only made by hand and hammer with fire. And Jimmy DiResta made it with his own style and i like it, thanks for make keris more widely known.
Far from an expert, but I've made a few. Yours looks legit, that profile is a beast to make look nice. Kudos amigo, always looking forward to the next one.
Beautiful blade Jimmy as always wonderful work. The final box shape of the handle and sheath were a bit surprising considering the sleek sexy look of that blade, but the contrast in shape makes the blade that much more surprising when you see it unsheathed. You see a sheath like that with that type of handle and think of something broader more machete like, not a Kris dagger like this. Love all the hand finishing and tooling you did as well. I've seen so many guys not take the time or effort to properly work in the shape of a knife blade before they call it complete. You're a true artist sir. (Ass kissing function disengaged.)
wow its great! Even not exactly the same, but nice. Keris originally from Indonesia . the whole empire of antiquity in Indonesia has its own Keris. Used today as a symbol of tradition and culture . This weapon is actually reflects the prudent behavior of the owner , where the keris was never put in front of the waist , but behind the waist, means in order to hold the owner of emotion , anger , and put forward the deliberations . however , if a Keris placed in the front waist ... means that the owner was going to fight or kill.

just a question why does every tool have DiResta on it
Cause he doesn't want to give free advertising to the company that makes said tool. Cause there are other company's that he is sponsored by so it would be unfair for the company's that pay him.

doesn't look too comfortable to hold in your hand actually
It looks like its more for artistic value.
notice when he shows the paper the end doesnt have a handle plus the title is blade not weapon
You need to see the real one from java indonesia. That far more beautiful and far more arthictic than this shifty look
