Inspired by the giant utility knife blade created by Jimmy Diresta (https://youtu.be/qWZwaJ3sg30), and the Stanley knife that it was modeled after, I created this giant knife perfectly to scale and entirely out of wood because stupid challenges are often the most rewarding. Put that on a t-shirt, or don't (probably don't). As soon as I saw Jimmy create the blade I knew this had to happen, I was able to get one from him and then decided to set the totally unnecessary requirement that it be made entirely out of wood because (everyone say it with me now) "I hate myself", good work everyone... The body is made from maple butcher block. The internal mechanism is made from 1/4" plywood, a piece of white oak for the spring because of it's flexibility, and it's handle is a piece cut from padauk. Lastly, the screw is turned on a lathe from a piece of chechen. For more details on the build, check out the build article linked above, or don't, I don't really mind. Either way, enjoy, you're a great person and I believe in you.
