MY TWO FAVORITE KZbin KNIFE MAKERS WORKING TOGETHER!!! Thank you Jeremy!

[@cheekyj4794]

Love Alex's channel. Now I have another one to love. Keep going with these projects they inspire all who tinker in their sheds.

[@tonybowers9490]

Two of my fav youtube channels working together? Awesomeness.

[@jacoleroux5569]

Great stuff, Thanks to Alec Steele for sending this way, I know I will enjoy this... keep it up, Greetings from South Africa

[@travislayh6586]

Alec's videos are awesome not to mention inspirational. Good to see you guys getting together.

[@de1mystery]

I'm pumped about the collaboration, you both are awesome.

[@WadeKKJ]

Greatest.. collaboration....ever.

[@Simplelittlelife]

hahaha, thanks! 👍

[@ChopKnives]

The only two channels that I watch daily - now working together. Perfect!

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thanks Craig!

[@jonathanboschman1940]

This is a real dream come true

[@TristanDare]

Holy cow man! My two favorite youtubers going a Collaboration... This is awesome, can't wait to see what the two of you pull off!!!

[@andrewgoldstein1606]

Great looking knife. Can't wait to see what you and Alec do together.

[@bursucalexlazar]

Was totally blown away, can't wait to see you guys.. you are my favorite channels eveeeer!!!

[@BigD256]

Alec sent me over. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your videos, and seeing what you do with the damascus he sent you.

[@LifeinFarmland]

lol, Awesome! Love it! You got me hooked on his stuff a while back! Really looking forward to it.

[@FargoFX]

Super pumped for the Jerome/Alec collaboration. Great job on the folder. 👍 coming along beautifully.

[@JustinTopp]

FargoFX hey didn’t think I’d find you here :)

[@X_Jonathan_X]

This makes me happy

[@EvanH108]

You two are my favorite bladesmith's! I can't believe y'all are teaming up! You both have inspired me to start making knives. @Alec Steele, you have helped me understand the art of Blacksmithing while @simple little life, you have taught better grinding techniques. I would love to make you both a knife and send it to y'all! just let me know if you are up for it!

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! I think it would be really cool if you wanted to make me a knife but I certainly don't want you to feel like you have too. Just hearing that somehow you've benifited from what I've shared mean so much!👍

[@EvanH108]

Simple Little Life i would love to make you a knife. I haven't made many but does a gut hook sound good? It is one of my better knives that i make. If you could email me at [e-mail] i would love to send one your way

[@Gdwmartin]

I live ON The Rock, does that count? Just kidding. I follow Alec and he is one amazingly positive individual. I found your channel through his. Great videos, keep em coming please.

[@wiseguy9225]

me too!

[@shoutykat]

I love the way the maker channels are all bouncing off each other and building each other up rather than competing. I've seen Alec work with Samurai Carpenter and now you, I've seen Laura Kampf work with Adam Savage and Jimmy Diresta - this is just the best and I cannot overstate how much I love it.

[@Simplelittlelife]

It is a pretty rad community, isn't it? I've thought about that too and I'm not sure if there are other "groups" that have that dynamic but it is such a great community to be a part of. Cheers!

[@Kcd16]

Alec Steele sent me. Great job on the knife so far, can't wait for tomorrow's video.

[@memyself9586]

Stoked about the collaboration! Fan of both channels!

[@stephenbradley6258]

I'm enjoying watching you doing the knife, you're an amazing knife builder. Thanks for the great video adventure. Have a great day

[@dalekidd420]

Friggin'-A!!!!! FINALLY! Been rooting for this collab for months!

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thanks pal! I really appreciate it!

[@morgantaylor1887]

looks absolutely amazing!

[@coffeesstudios2122]

Your vlog rocks and so does Alec Steele. Very awesome you g man. You keep making them and I'll keep watching.😎

[@EkimKnives]

Did someone say frame lock?!!! This build is going to be amazing!!! Awesome to see you guys working together on this!

[@TheJimmy2lips]

Alec Steele brought me here. Glad I have another channel to watch!

[@NOVABro-vu2cg]

Saw simple little life clicked on video then realized the thumbnail was of Alec and was soo confused😂😂

[@Simplelittlelife]

hahaha!

[@robinleiber2176]

N.O.V.A Bro ne too XD

[@thomasarussellsr]

Probably about as confused as I was when Simple opened Alec's video today.

[@youngknifemaker283]

Lookin' forward, I love both of you guys' channels

[@robinborkowski5598]

I,m an old blacksmith, and in my 40 Yrs of smithing, I think I made 3 knives so I would say I'm not an expert.But your content is great, your presentation fantastic. Hope to watch more of your videos. I subscribed from Alec Steele's recommendation, I think he was right.

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thank you very much! I really appreciate it! I've made over 200 knives and even after 1000 more I still don't think I could consider myself an expert. Always something, something new to learn. And that's what makes it so excited! Just fun to share what little knowledge I have in hopes that it might benefit someone else. And thanks again for subscribing! Cheers👍

[@sandervandijk7440]

Man you,re the only two vloggers I follow.and now you guys collab.i'm having a good day.

[@rubenibanez8967]

You two collaborating my life in complete

[@alepioveable]

You have got to be shitting me. This is like a dream.

[@Simplelittlelife]

hahahaha! (this comment cracked me up👍)

[@dabblesgaming7953]

Man you guys this is epic I have been watching you both for so long it is ridiculous and for the two of you guys to come together....mind blown. Jeremy your videos and explanations are spot on and alec dude you bring the charisma and knowledge of forging LIKE A BOSS!!! Very excited to see how this comes to fruition!

[@johnwsavageknives6759]

I love it. What an amazing idea. I am a knife maker for over 30 years. I'm always looking for ways to inspire the young makers. I love this idea. I too would be open for a conglomeration build

[@ohheyychristian]

Came here via Alec and subbed for more awesome knives! Really enjoying the content between the two of you!

[@VirtualTurtleGames]

Starts looking super nice man!

[@anthonykent7983]

As Alec Steele says Fantastic.

[@markroper9269]

Alec says Hi. I love collaborations! Keep up the good work! Remember....if it was easy, everyone would be doing it!

[@stuffbywoody5497]

I've been watching Alecs videos for a while now. I love it when he does collaborations with other worthwhile channels/people. And I reckon this 1 is definitely worthwhile 😎 Good 1 guys 👍🖒👏

[@JoshBettiol]

Absolutely freaking awsome!

[@henrydaigleiii2233]

Alec Steele, simple little life, ekim knives, samurai carpenter my favorite channels if you like one I guarantee you enjoy them all. Keep it up fellas

[@matthewmcmillan7167]

you should do a compound grind on the next on if you want a challenge. like a flat grind towards the front and a hollow on the back.

[@samstocker08]

I'm super excited for y'alls collab, I found him when I was looking to make a kukri. He made one out of damascus, and from that series I subscribed instantly and have been watching all of his vids. This is gonna be fantastic!

[@davids2430]

I am so excited about this collaboration. I think you should do a Ka-bar. That would be awesome.

[@lightningstrikelures2393]

Can't wait to see it...enjoy Alec a lot...subscribed. Nice work on your prior vids too!...This will be Fantaaassstic.

[@Aminuts2009]

Just came over from Alex Steele's page. Great content. I'm a new subscriber now. I'm a hobby blacksmith living in Central Alaska.

[@waldobean7534]

Imagine tool time Tuesday with Alec Steele. "uhmm this is a Sam. He makes good food. He is also a Fowler".

[@nenatill]

Looks real good! Nice work. ...

[@rexczi6299]

This just did my whole week

[@nickmiller3796]

It's looking great

[@andrewgoldstein1606]

Thanks for the great video Jeremy.

[@bprins3578]

It's getting every video better!!!! Keep going man!!

[@asksolas816]

yeay my two favourite knifemaking channel's are doing a collab!!!😄🙌

[@The_Dancing_Elephant]

two of my favorite youtubers colaberating! yesss!!!!

[@ramrod126]

Came here from Alec. Subbed almost instantly. Great stuff. Can't wait to see the Damascus folder.

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thank you very much! I really appreciate it! I'm nervous as can be about that knife!!!😆 Cheers!

[@dashracer82]

Came from Alec's channel. Stayed for the content :) great job, keep making!

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thank you so much! Really appreciate it! Cheers👍

[@scottm5051]

Looking great so far! Maybe you could epoxy some Heli-Coils, or some other kind of thread insert, into the G10. Can't wait to see the finished knife! Scott

[@sloth0629]

You Guys are awesome... i Watch both channels yours and Alec's... and seeing u 2 together on a build is awesome... i will enjoy this so much.... Thanks for the collaboration... cant wait.... :) woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[@ShelleyRaskin]

Very jealous, I have been wanting a bit of Alec's Damascus ever since I saw Trollsky get a piece, no pressure but!

[@Simplelittlelife]

hahahaha! pressure and a half!!👍

[@irbsailing]

I really enjoy both of your channels so I'm really excited to see what comes of the collaboration between you two. Also I agree Sam should have a Damascus hoof knife. Though, I'm sure the horse doesn't care if the knife is Damascus steel.

[@michaelsilva7085]

Just came over from Alec's channel. Great video....subscribed!

[@Simplelittlelife]

Sweet! thank you so much! I really appreciate it!

[@kendavis8046]

Came over from Alec's channel. Nice stuff, thumbs up, and I am now a subscriber!

[@chrisosh9574]

Awsome job dude! I have just come over from Alec Steele and I'm really glad I did. Watching you draw the blade shape in the 1st video for this series I was gobsmacked, I have just spent about a year trying to find a folder with exactly that blade. I finally found one a couple of weeks ago on a chinese site, it has a 74mm (3") D2 blade and interesting for a friction folder style it has a liner lock, $19 so it was a steal. Not as chunky as your one though, that thing looks as though it will survive almost anything. I know you are using G10 scraps for the scales but the red and green look great. I just subbed, looking forward to more of your work and entertaining style.

[@TokyoCraftsman]

Subbed from Alec Steele's channel. Cheers from Tokyo Japan!

[@GregsWildlife]

I came here because of Alec, but I'll be staying because of you! Great video :-)

[@Simplelittlelife]

well thank you very much! I really really appreciate it! means a lot. Cheers!👍

[@shenipsitforgecjm430]

Jeremy, nice team up with Alec! When making folders, I find it best to drill my holes under-sized, then ream them for a precise fit. If you want to make a frame lock, I suggest watching Mike Stewart's (Ekim Knives) excellent 15 part series on frame locks. He cover pretty much every aspect of designing and building them.

[@survivalengineer]

Came here from Alec's channel. Like your work. Subscribed....

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thank you very much! I really appreciate that! 👍

[@13irishsailors]

Great channel you have a new subscriber! I came from Alec Steele and I'm glad he sent me to you!

[@drunkGRIZZLYman]

Alec sent me. I'm glad he did, this channel is awesome.

[@AnselChin]

You guys are so awesome.

[@londonacres3291]

YES!!!! I knew it! He said the other day that he was gonna do a collaboration with someone and asked is to put in the comments who we thought it was, I said it was gonna be you!!! I'm so excited! Sorry for all the exclamation marks lol, I'm just really excited... and a little jealous 😉👍🏻

[@hakisnubis]

Two epic knife making chanels Legendary!!!

[@Hskaug]

Alec Steele my hero

[@greendaves]

I'm here because Alec sent me (he told us to say that) and boy am I glad he did! Subscribed 😊

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thank you very much! I really appreciate it! Cheers👍

[@BassmasterCB]

From messing with the friction folder to making a damascus framelock :D :D :D I'm very curious and will stay with my fixed blades for a while

[@venom813]

For taps in wood I run some thin CA after tapping the hole and then run the tap through again to clean them up. That should strengthen them a little.

[@bbridges100]

Looks great brother!

[@ГаврилоПринцип-и7ф]

Lol Yesterday I commented that it looks like you've been watching Alec lately because your videos got so much better and mildly similar to his videos, which is a good thing, and today you are collaborating. Awesome!

[@garysheridan3308]

The last bit of the video is very "Alec Steele-esq" (very cool by the way) (like to see more of that kind of editing). Anyway, your videos are great. Cant wait to see the completion of this knife and your collaboration with Alec

[@jamesmclachlan6985]

Love the CHANEL Good to see you getting out of your comfort zone

[@andywyatt701]

I am a huge Alec Steele fan... found out about him through the Samurai. ...now found your channel through Alec.....plus I see you are a follow Canuck...the Mastercraft tools gave it away...lol...now...on to binge watch more of our videos

[@Simplelittlelife]

Me too! I found Alec the same way and now to be able to make videos and collaborate with him....*mind blown*. In the winter I almost always have a Timmies cup on the bench that gives it away pretty quick too! (to those of us lucky enough to know these things😁) Thanks for checking out my channel, I appreciate it! Cheers!

[@erikschwabe7577]

Typical Alec to sit at the power hammer......

[@Simplelittlelife]

I know right?! Cracked me up when he sent that clip to me😆

[@0neTwo3]

If those threads give you trouble, just hit them with some "thin CA" glue and re-tap. That basically re-bonds the fibers of the material and makes stronger threads.

[@tknoerle1451]

Jeremy, I can see WHY you enjoy Alec Steele's style and videos... I just subscribed to his channel too! Wackey and LOTS of fun!....teaching by making it FUN...which is something YOU do TOO! :-)

[@Simplelittlelife]

Glad you like his stuff! He's a blast to watch and very inspiring. If ever I feel like I'm too tired to make a video or something, I just think of Alec and have no excuse! Cheers👍

[@masterxiong7368]

I found your channel because of Alec. Nice vids.

[@Keith_the_knife_freak]

Looking good 👍👍👍

[@wesley7910]

My two favorite two youtubers!

[@Paul-Coburn]

Hi Found you through "off grid with Doug and Stacy" you have a great channel. thank you

[@Simplelittlelife]

+Paul Coburn thank you so much! Really appreciate that! Doug and Stacy are good people and it was so fun to actually hang out with Doug when he came here! Cheers👍

[@rogersrabbithole8417]

If you are looking for knife parts ? A place called Blade HQ covers all sorts of knife hobby parts. Keep up the great videos man !!

[@spoplehughes]

similar to a Japanese higonokami type knife except they have a flattened "tab" on the end to put your thumb on when it is open cant wait to see what you make with the damascus from alec

[@WILTHEWOLF18]

Came from Alec Steele and this is awesome

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thank you very much! Really appreciate that!👍

[@tonywalker8030]

You too should teem up and run a show called "blade busters"

[@Crewman2770]

Here goes, Alex sent me, I can't wait to see you use the Damascus that he's sent you. Enjoying the video's of the Friction Folder.

[@eternalknives9829]

Am I the only one who thought something really bad was gonna happen when that music came on at 13:18 ? "Oh no what is happening?! dont do i... STOOOP!!"

[@wholock0001]

So excited!

[@mft4]

Here from Alec's channel, This should be fun.
