    DiResta Razor Shirt : rlnk.cc/the-diresta-razor-shirt
    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!

    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.

      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!

    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
