10 essential hand tools for knife making - Tool Time Tuesday

[@Triple.Stripe.Knives]

Little plug for princess auto: ordered an 85 dollar tumbler at 12, shipped by 3, in my hands two days later. Recommended.

[@Simplelittlelife]

Woohoo! Good to hear. I’ve been a customer since I was a little kid going with my dad. I felt very good about having them come on board with the channel. They might not always have the highest quality stuff but they always make things right if there is a problem. I’ve also had good luck with their tools.

[@leoWorldBestGamer]

Wow, what an absolutely majestic place you get to call home! Your surroundings are truly breathtaking and awe-inspiring.

[@trevoradams8675]

Jeremy you forgot Strong coffee!! Its the most important as it makes all the other tools work better and faster XD

[@tubatony16]

Monsters, and nicotine

[@HammerSmashedFace92]

Or or. Hear me out. An actual good diet and active lifestyle

[@nefariousyawn]

@@HammerSmashedFace92 Nonsense! Cocaine and amphetamines are the only way to go. Just kidding. Healthy choices do wonders for productivity, but a little caffeine isn't too bad.

[@trevoradams8675]

@@HammerSmashedFace92 lol well now your talking good sense :)

[@lonetrader1]

I heard the Colombians make somethin to help with that. Gotta kno someone tho........

[@theweaponscollectiveedge863]

As a machinist I can agree these tools are well needed.

[@Simplelittlelife]

Right on 👍

[@JohnFleshman]

I own all of those tools. A good small vice is pretty seriously needed too imho.

[@Simplelittlelife]

Yes for sure!

[@Pesticide45acp]

Great tips. I didn't expect Princess Auto would have G10!

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thanks! Yeah they have a few difference options.

[@Pesticide45acp]

@Simple Little Life I will keep up on your videos. It is great content and helpful as I build up my shop

[@nickanagnos361]

I bought 2' machinist square last year after watching your videos, and it is probably my favorite tools in general. I'm always using it to square up platens and saw blades. I never even thought about buying one until watching your videos.

[@Simplelittlelife]

Right on! Glad you didn’t regret it 👍

[@awesomegod91]

Thank you Jeremy, another great, helpful video.

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thank you so much! I appreciate that🙏 Cheers👍

[@paulmendolia8483]

Great video.

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thank you!

[@TSGEnt]

You know what's the next best thing to having all those tools? Living next door to a guy with all those tools. 😆 Your neighbor must love you. I'd be your neighbor!😃

[@bkup1332]

Thanks, that was great!

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thank you so much!

[@willembeukes7588]

Awesome love it cant wait to see what its all about

[@dean1708987]

my dad used to made scribes out of old masonry drill bits, he just grind them in to a poin,cut of the end part and weld on a pocket clip

[@Simplelittlelife]

That’s a really cool idea! 👍

[@NuManXplore]

Good stuff! I’ve gotta find a metal scribe, I’m tired of using an old nail, or the narrow end of my calibers. 😆

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thanks buddy! Yeah I hear you. 👍

[@dragonwaterforge]

Awesome man

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thank you!

[@davestelling]

You've got one heck of a great shop, friend... (!)

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thank you!

[@XeoPhoto]

I'm thinking maybe you got some inspiration from Peter McKinnon. Especially seeing as you're also a photographer? Glad I found your channel!

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thank you so much! Of course, that dude is genius! He even reached out to me once to get my opinion on knife sharpeners. Sure seems like a rad dude. Cheers👍

[@RedBeardOps]

Thank goodness for digital calipers... Couldn't imagine making a knife without them. 😂

[@Simplelittlelife]

I he’s though buddy!

[@jacobhoupt]

Pokey Scribe Syndrome is very similar to Broken Pencil Lead Syndrome. Put a piece of stiff-ish, rubbery-ish, tubing in the pen slots on your apron. I do this with my tool belt(s) and whatnot. If you cut the tubing it will lightly bind. Cheap pen caps keep them sharp in a toolbox or backpack.

[@ShelleyRaskin]

Good tools, I think drill bits wander not wonder though?

[@pottervi]

No Princess Autos in Michigan:( But I Wana meet the guy you get your coffee from lol

[@panamaredeye]

Could have convinced me you were American until you said "very pokey". Love your videos and knifes. Thank you for the knowledge.

[@benterbieten9540]

Stihl brand chain saw files are probably way up on the quality scale and last a long time.

[@masoodamg6633]

Hi . I hope you are fine . Good tools you bought, I hope they work for you for years. I have a question . That needle at the end of the goni for what. Awesome Awesome as always

[@tyseppanen1628]

Hello there. Long time watcher.. first time responder. I was just curious what type/ brand of countersinks you prefer/ recommend. Cheers, Tyler

[@Simplelittlelife]

Hey Tyler, sorry for the late reply. I like Dormer or SKF brand countersinks. I’ve had some of them for over 20 years and still cut well. Thank you for watching, I really appreciate that 🙏👍

[@tyseppanen1628]

@@Simplelittlelife great. Thanks! 👍

[@cav89-]

When I read the title, I just thought “well, thats a no-brainer: 9 good files and a hacksaw, with the option of ditching the hacksaw for a 10th file”.

[@Simplelittlelife]

Cool.

[@Sparhawk801]

Have all of those... But, where did you get that apron???

[@Simplelittlelife]

Right on. This was was from Lee Valley. Pretty cheap but does the job👍

[@chrisyancy5351]

i wish we had princess auto in the usa =(

[@nefariousyawn]

I thought it was the Canadian version of harbor freight, but then I saw the brand names in the store.

[@chrisyancy5351]

nice!

[@18deadmonkeys]

dude, you're living the dream carry on

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thank you

[@eamonogrady4005]

No qualified toolmaker would ever scribe with a callipers. Need a kick in the arse if I caught you doing that shit in my shop. But I do love your knife work

[@Simplelittlelife]

Even with $20 callipers when it makes the process faster? My mititoyos stay in my tool box when I need accuracy. These cheap ones are a layout tool to me. I’ll be sure not to do that in your shop though. 😆 The kick in the arse gave me a good chuckle 👍

[@normanbradley2536]

Steel rulers won't last forever?...Using my father's, got it in 1930 or so.

[@Simplelittlelife]

I don’t think they make them like they used to. I’ve worn out the printed numbers in a few of them. And accidentally destroyed a few in various way. Maybe I’m just hard on them? 👍

[@larryohara6513]

I use chainsaw files for the choil...way better and last longer.

[@Simplelittlelife]

That’s a great idea! Thanks 👍

[@jamesbrandon8520]

They say that princess auto is the same as harbor freight is in the United States but harbor freight has no name brand like Empire Hobart and definitely nothing g10 or anything else knife related

[@ThatOneOddGuy]

Try pferd files

[@Simplelittlelife]

I’ve been wanting to check them out for a while👍

[@ThatOneOddGuy]

@@Simplelittlelife they sell needle files but its ~80USD for the pack

[@normanbradley2536]

Jewelers files if you cant get the regular needle files

[@Simplelittlelife]

Good idea👍

[@francoishebert5964]

What about files?

[@Simplelittlelife]

I talk about why I didn’t have them on the list in the video.

[@francoishebert5964]

@@Simplelittlelife appologies, I jumped on the commentary before the end of the video. I am following you for a while now, and I really appreciate your channel. Thanks for all your vidéos. I looked for a video on which steel to choose to make a knife for a beginner, and I have not find one. Did I miss it? If not do you plan to make one?

[@Simplelittlelife]

No problem at all. I really like O-1 tool steel for a beginner because it’s easy to grind and heat treat. It’s performs very well but it is quite prone to rusting and corrosion if it’s not looked after properly. It also develops a patina from use faster than other steels. But then again, for learning, it’s great. Also it can be fairly easily found in certain parts of the globe. I have a shop locally that always has it in stock so (Metal Supermarkets) and I have sent quite a few folks there who have been looking for a steel to start on. Cheers 👍
