About Simple Little Life:
This channel has sort of turned (inadvertently) into a knife making channel. But the original idea behind what we wanted it to be is this description below:
Videos on our journey to homesteading. With a recent purchase of a little piece of the Alberta prairie, we're looking to sell our nice suburban home in search of a more meaningful life beyond chasing the "American dream" working for some big company and making someone else rich. It's not about the money, it's about getting the most value from the work I do to improving the life of my family.
Some preparedness, DIY, building quality things with your hands, guns, gear, and outdoor exploration.

Probably one of the coolest knives I’ve ever seen!!!!!
"sometimes the more tools you have the better"!! now if only my wife would believe this!
I realise that this video is over a year old. However, I'm a recent subscriber and have been binge-watching your channel like it was Netflix, and having started with newer videos I really appreciate these ones so much more and how far you've gone in a short time. Cutting the blades with a grinder (which is awesome, just, now you use your portable band-saw... which is also awesome), burning your blade with your belt-sander and drill-press (you obviously have a much greater free-hand feel now), pre-sanding your bevel before heat treating because you felt they weren't tight enough (refer to last bracket), heat treating with the torch rather than your temp controlled oven, etc., demonstrates a great contrast to celebrate the craft. As a Millwright you have an engineers think ahead, which allows you to "eye-ball" much of your work, and it's truly a pleasure to watch.
This is probably the coolest knife ever! And almost exactly my dream knife! Its cool someone else had a similar idea!

It's cool seeing your older videos, where you have less tools and machines at your disposal. Really encouraging for others to give it a go! Thanks
The blade design and geometry are absolutely fantastic!

Simple everyday machinery, tools, and techniques that are employed to produce an excellent quality end product. To me, this is basis of a good quality knife making video..
Damn that's a beautiful knife!

not the first time I see this video, but still in love with the simplicity of your explanations and video editing. thanks for sharing your knowledge.
WOW! as a beginer knife maker ive started watching your videos and have learned soo much. however being 2020 now, you have alot more equipment. going back and seeing this old video gave me alot of hope and ecitement. Im just starting and dont have a fancy belt grinder or heat treating oven, but seeing you use the more simple tools and still make a great knife is super inspiring. over the last couple weeks I built myself a work bench and got what I thought was nessesary for me to begin, built my forge and kydex press yesterday, and started making my first knife today! Really apreciate you sharing your skills and knowlage.
Thanks so very much for ALL your videos! It's really one of my fav go-to sites!
this is one of the coolest hand made knives i've seen. i really like the design. the white compliments the style so well. normally im into asian style blades but i really want this knife.

Im new to knifemaking and absolutely loving your channel, the red card material is called Vulcanised Fibre and actually has a complicated build process. Its the stuff that gaskets are made of.

Simple Little Life Yes that is exactly the reason I want to get some, I love the look of camel bone but it's pricey and smells when grinding like you said. Plus I can't think of a more durable material than g10 for handles so I like to use it wherever possible.
The narration seems to go smoother when you concentrate on one thing at a time . Very inspiring video👍👍👍

That's a beautiful tool you have made. I was looking at the hole you place on the fore tip and a person could string some cordage through it an use it as a daw without having to put your hand on the blade.

I think you'll find knife making very rewarding and exciting (because every blade gets a little better than the last one). All the best in your knife making and greetings to you too from Canada!

Great video Jeremy, and that is an absolutely beautiful knife. Btw, the spacer material is most likely vulcanized fiber. It's a super strong, plastic type material often used for adding strength to laminated wood products. I buy some of my knifemaking supplies from knifemaker.ca as well! All the best, and keep the knifemaking videos coming!

+NUMan14 Thanks man!. And thanks for the info on the spacer material. That makes sense that it would be used to add strength to laminate wood products; it a pretty interesting product. Thanks! I'm going to do more knife videos, but only after the 30 day challenge I put myself through is over. Too much work to make a knife and then edit all the footage in one day. (I was up till 1:30 in the morning getting this one done). Cheers!
