How To: Make A Belt Knife (For DIRESTA)

In this video I go through the process of making a small belt knife out of CPM154 steel for Jimmy Diresta. A lot of my subscribers are here watching me make things because Jimmy sent them here, so I wanted to make something to thank him for that. Jimmy inspired me to start my channel and has helped me with the process so far.
