An insanely hypnotic .gif from Popular Mechanics and Jimmy DiResta
Jimmy Diresta’s videos are among the best out there, in subject, content and production value. We have previously featured his restoration of a draw knife. In his latest video project for Makezine.com, Diresta shows the entire process of making a stock-removal kitchen knife, from billet to finished product.

The more of these I watch, the closer I get to wanting to take the plunge and start making knives. Because my wife wouldn’t kill me if I added another hobby to the list, would she? I spent 4 hours making sawdust and Christmas gifts today.
I’d prefer a higher point for more rocker on that knife. Not that I could/would afford it. Regardless, it’s a beauty!
I liked it right up to the handle, then he lost me. It’s way to fat.
Same here. Too fat blade
Yeah the blade is way to thick for my taste but it looks great
