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

@patrickmccaffrey5406 3 года назад

Officer: Do you have any weapons? Jimmy: leatherman, box cutter, pocket knife, belt, ice pick Officer: Anything else? Jimmy: probably should mention the boots

@hanelyp1 3 года назад

"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".

@xenonram 3 года назад

@@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.)

@Dopefish76 3 года назад

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!

@NemoSampaio 3 года назад

So you start to watch it and you think: oh cool, a knife made out of a leaf spring, and then you see a very cool brass sheath and think, awesome... and then you have a mechanism to lock it on a boot??? No way, this is freaking awesome! You did again mate! I wonder how can someone put a dislike on it?

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!
