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.

Congratulations. Great video. Not only it is a very well made work, but you explain everything clear and accurate.

[@genin69]

Pretty clever.. Id make a jig that is about 10 inches in length, that way you can make about 5 of these clips in one go from one sheet of kydex, then just cut them out.. thanks for sharing

[@clockwork421]

I was thinking the same thing too

[@timthegunguy47]

Nice tip to improve upon the clip placement on knife sheaths. Great post! Thanks.

[@jamesbarisitz4794]

Sweet rig ! Clever idea that works and looks factory.

[@boog3690]

I've been doing something very similar. I use a tech lock and mount it for scout carry then a make a dangler insert. That way whatever way I want to carry is just a simple adjustment. No need to pull it all apart.

[@ca8920]

Great idea.... Very nice, thank you.

[@michaellee5084]

off topic but just got my sanding block and just wanted to say thanks for making them available.

[@Simplelittlelife]

Sweet! (sorry for the delay in responding to your comment, I'm playing catch up right now:) Glad you like it and thanks for supporting the "little guy"! Cheers!

[@djebat88]

Really simple and efficient. Thanks, buddy.

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thank you so much! You’re welcome 👍

[@mrsaskriders]

Thank you Jeremy for sharing that and it is a great tip that I will use. I started making Kydex sheaths just a few days ago. Your idea is awesome. Smart dude!

[@DevinAkin]

This rocks! Thank you!

[@Simplelittlelife]

You're welcome!

[@harrydrury4734]

good idea , ... its the thing I was looking for .

[@mscmn5150]

Great solution!

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thanks!

[@fredbecvar7463]

Good stuff. Thanks for sharing.

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thanks for watching!

[@DanZenz]

Great idea. Just a thought, if you made the grove an 1 3/4 wide instead of 1" you could horizontal carry if you don't mount the accessory clip. I might try this for my leatherman.

[@dennisleblanc7933]

An impressive video that will be extremely helpful with my kydex sheaths...thanks Jeremy !!

[@Simplelittlelife]

Sweet. Glad this might be useful for you. Cheers!

[@davidblankenship7387]

Great idea, thanks for sharing

[@shaolinfox30]

Thank you so much for this! your tip has helped me out immensely in my thermal forming.

[@dominikwdowski3855]

Brilliant!

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thank you!

[@Isaiah-gz4gp]

Thank you. That's exactly what I'm gonna do. Looks great

[@tomcrist4547]

Simple. Thank you for the tip.

[@MrNcmatt]

Very nice work around.

[@wadejensen3301]

Mate, once again...great little vid...great idea...and very generous of you to share....as we would say over here in Australia..."you're a bloody champion mate"

[@Simplelittlelife]

haha, wel thank you very much. Really appreciate the compliment and I'm glad it might be helpful. Ideas in your own mind are useless. Sharing them is where they take on any value at all. At least that's my take on it. Cheers!

[@chrisidk728]

holy crap the quality is SO GOOD

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thanks:)

[@MrCestak]

Thank you for sharing your ideas. Very helpfull

[@Simplelittlelife]

Glad you find them useful. Cheers!

[@LetsPrepTogether]

Superb idea! I will have to try that out.

[@Simplelittlelife]

Hope you find it to work as well as I do. Cheers!

[@hackercat13]

Great tip! Thanks for sharing.

[@sloanIrrigation]

Search for belt clips, kydex belt clips, knife belt clip but those clips did not show. Can you link please?

[@bladeuser101]

smart and simple. great stuff.

[@chrispolasek6719]

Just what I was looking for, thanks.

[@TristanDare]

Oh that's cool! Great vid! :)

[@Simplelittlelife]

[@tknoerle1451]

Wow...I love that!!!!

[@andrewgoldstein1606]

[@Simplelittlelife]

[@spacecat86]

[@Simplelittlelife]

[@theplasticdesert2408]

Brilliant.

[@jerrydonquixote5927]

Not a bad idea!

[@woody65536]

Nice handle!

[@aitf99]

Thumbs up - as always...

[@playeroflife]

Great idea, thks

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thanks! You're welcome buddy!

[@tomsdreamshopworx]

1st! I love making jigs. Well done!

[@Simplelittlelife]

haha congrats on being the first! Yeah, I hear you. The thing I have to be careful of is not to get too carried away with the jigs and still focus on making whatever it is I'm making. Sometimes I make a mess of jigs for every step of a widget, but then realize I haven't made any widgets:)

[@vlainic]

great tip !!! thanks

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thank you and you're welcome.

[@chrisshreve1736]

Thanks I just wish you would have told us about the screws or rivets or whatever fasteners how do they work? I am new to this, you know what and how to do this but I don't. I understand the eyelets but you the fasteners don't go through the sheath but I have no idea what fasteners to buy or anything how they work, you know because you build them but I wish you would have added that so I am back to square one with a sheath with no belt clip...

[@winegarstronghold2734]

Great idea! Subscribed!

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thank you!

[@BeefNEggs057]

Genius!

[@johnbaldingham]

you're a wizard

[@05dcummins]

what size Chicago bolts are you using? they sell a few lengths. thank you great idea.

[@turkeycreekknives133]

What was thickness of the kydex used or is that not that big a deal like the design I built small bird / trout knife sheath was to bigger than blade had to find good belt attachment now I have the way to go thanks

[@bradymcphail9690]

very nice!

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thanks!

[@oliverkoehne7978]

I guess this is a stupid question but what screws do you use? on knifekits there are so many options and I have no clue what t look for to mount the clip and the extra piece of kydex you demonstrate.

[@ShelleyRaskin]

Need to try kydex one of these days...

[@Simplelittlelife]

yeah, it's actually not all that bad. Actually when I consider the end product and the relatively low cost of working with it, it's a pretty sweet option to have. Give it a try! You'll be surprised how easy it is. Cheers!

[@Docprepper]

Man I like it!

[@turkeycreekknives133]

What size is the Chicago screws that you use to attach the belt clip and your stand offs ? Thanks for your time

[@misterdeluxia5948]

I think i saw this from i dont remember where but i saw somethinh similar to this great vid btw

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thanks

[@shaneanthony3692]

nice video. Question, I need a clip attachment for a kiku 4.1 kydex sheath. I do not have the material to make my own. Do you know where I might be able to get one. Thanks

[@turkeycreekknives133]

Are the tail pieces 2” on each side of stand off to mount eye let’s

[@adamadamadamadam709]

What type of screws did you use to attach that to the sheath?

[@austinwheeler3679]

To my knowledge they are called chicago screws.

[@LucidDreamer54321]

Former aircraft mechanic here. I would call that a standoff bracket.

[@grumpyoldwizard]

👍

[@shaneburns6589]

what are those screws called on ebay ?????

[@leebarker4207]

Nice

[@longviewstud26]

Can you buy thoes somewhere???

[@clockwork421]

Are the rivets #6 or #8 on this sheath in the video.

[@paullockhart9402]

Do you sell these?

[@Koseenanat]

Great because I’m not the type of guy to wear belts all the time and the sheaths that come with them are mostly only for belts

[@JohnCinOz1]

You just keep knocking out great content Jeremy, thank you! Could you specify what/where to get the small fasteners you used to attached the standoff part to the sheath itself? They don't look like rivets... Cheers, John

[@Simplelittlelife]

Hey John, thank you very much. I use Chicago screws to mount the stand-off to the sheath. I buy those also from knifekits.com They're really slick. Also I usually use a little bit of medium strength thread locker on them just to make sure they don't back off un-wantedly. Cheers!

[@JohnCinOz1]

Simple Little Life Thanks Jeremy, appreciate the info.

[@sockdolager3884]

Sorry for dumb question. Is that for IWB, OWB, or both?

[@thewhiskeycowboy-official]

IWB = inside-the-waistband OWB = outside-the-waistband both = both/either

[@NardDogg78]

can I just buy a couple of these fom you? I could even drill the holes myself

[@herculesrockefeller4584]

What kind of knife is that?

[@josh88113]

Here I am over a year after watching the first time for a refresher

[@SharpWorks]

Great tip! I like how it can be ambidextrous. What fasteners are you using to hold that to the sheath?

[@Simplelittlelife]

I'm using Chicago screws to mount that to the sheath. I buy those also from knifekits.com Cheers!

[@SharpWorks]

Simple Little Life thanks! Looks really nice

[@nightwalker2830]

can u use that horizontal carry as well instead of vertical

[@josephrector8735]

nightwalker2830 you could easily modify the size and orientation to accomodate this...

[@Simplelittlelife]

Yup, you could do that. Also this can be changed up quite a bit to match you particular needs. Cheers!

[@greenhood116]

what clip is it

[@Dimitri8907]

Alex Nesbitt I would also like to know, did you ever find out?

[@zacharylevan4828]

I've been able to find all of the tools and pieces for this setup online except for the bolts you used to attach the clip to the rest of the sheath, could you or anyone else point me in the right direction, thanks!

[@jesse7350]

Amazon.....type kydex chicago screws and vwala

[@lclalpha7314]

Wow no dislikes!!!

[@josesalcedo7995]

Where can I get kydex?? Is it expensive?

[@billt7283]

Jose salcedo eBay. Well it’s not super cheap, and just one clip cost just as much as the kydex

[@chrisidk728]

have u ever made afolding knife

[@Simplelittlelife]

Nope, not yet. Soon though.

[@willh8760]

If anyone can make me this for the monkey thumper by fox knives I’ll buy it I just don’t have the time to make it myself but I need one cause the ulti plate doesn’t work

[@samdineen1492]

can you add links to all materials and components plz

[@Simplelittlelife]

Yeah no prob. (probably should have added that in the first place). Everything I buy for my Kydex (including my rivet press and the foam I use in my Kydex press) is from knifekits.com. I've been really happy with their service shipping and the prices. Cheers!

[@andrewjones3020]

Simple Little Life I could not find ur Lil press

[@melitonrodriguez7004]

Looks nice , But that handle probably stables you , lol

[@j13ohnnyv]

If I send you a knife can you make me a Sheath

[@Renaldo135]

Those clips suck. The knife sheaths will come out along with the knife upon drawing same. Use belt loops or a static line tied off to bottom whole of the sheath. There are exceptions like "bravo concealment" clips and "ulti-clips" that clamp on to your actual pants but why risk it? Clips suck.

[@cfltitan]

Awesome idea! Thank you!
