Brock Lesnar is not the type of person that you would want to get into a tussle with. The WWE Superstar and former UFC champion is jacked beyond what we ever thought was possible and he should probably be required to list his body as a deadly weapon. As if that weren’t enough Lesnar can now add another weapon to his arsenal—a real life version of the knife tattoo on his chest.
Jimmy Diresta has spent years crafting metals to create just about anything that you could imagine. Videos detailing the creation of some of his more insane projects, like making a guitar out of an AK-47 for example, have garnered over 45 million views on YouTube. In this one he takes the enormous tattoo on Lesnar’s chest and turns it into the most badass knife we’ve ever seen. I mean, look at that damn thing! To paraphrase from Kill Bill, if on Diresta’s journey with this blade he were to encounter God, God would be cut.
It’s fascinating to watch the process needed to create such a magnificent knife. The thing that really blew us away was how much metal ends up on the workshop floor. Of course, the coolest thing about the whole project is the way that the knife looks exactly like Lesnar’s tattoo.
We’re glad that Diresta chose to make this the tattoo of Lesnar’s that he brought to life. Have you seen the wrestler’s back tattoo? Seeing that abomination in the flesh would terrify even the hardiest of men. Then again, if you had that knife by your side you would at least have a fighting chance. Diresta is always taking suggestions for new projects, so if you like the video below head to here to request another tattoo that you would like to see become a real thing.
