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.

just like the good old days beautiful knife and no talking i’m not mocking your interest of sharing what u know but i really enjoy your videos when you’re not talking your work speaks for itself

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thank you. I appreciate the feedback 👍

[@dmwalker24]

I watch many knife makers and I'm rarely compelled to comment, but your pieces are really quite stunning. Excellent craftsmanship.

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thank you very much!

[@heardashot]

Same here. He got a new sub! What a joy to find this man & his making. Outstanding!!!

[@jakes821]

I just started watching knife craftsmanship videos a couple weeks ago before I get my feet wet. This is one of my favs. Love your work. Keep up the vids!

[@retroguy254]

I wasn’t actually a fan of the needle scaler until this knife. Now I’m sold. Perfect ratio of needle scale and shiny bevel. Beautiful knife. Any viewers knife videos coming up in your spare time 🤪. Appreciate all the videos!!!

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thank you! Yeah sometimes it can be overdone (like rock patterning too) but I think you touched on a key point people often overlook in this area: balance. 👍

[@goodspeedmakesthings4262]

I love the needle scaler finish on that. It looks great!

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thank you!

This was done very clean. Recording, editing and working on the knife itself. My respect sir!

[@Lee_B_Futures]

You have some of the coolest techniques that I'd never think of. Thanks for videos like this that show your whole process!

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thank you very much! And you're welcome. I learned to make knives 100% from KZbin so it only seems right to add to the collection of info here😀👍

[@rodrigo24824]

I'm impressed with the entire process. The result?... Amazing knife. Congrats!!!

Great job! The knife is clearly the star of the video. Keep them coming, and we will keep watching.

I could watch you freehand bevels all day. You make it look so seamless.

[@panzerlieb]

I’ve been making knives as a hobby for several years now. And have seen a hundred or more videos on knife making. This is one of the few times that I’ve been completely and delightfully impressed with the end results. Hats off to you sir. You are the master blade smith. Now I’m gonna go give my knife making stuff away because there’s no competing you, lol. Seriously, truly master level craftsmanship.

[@Simplelittlelife]

Hahahaha, thank you! I appreciate your compliments.🙏. I do not believe there is such a thing as master blade-smith. If anyone is any good at it, they’re always trying to learn something else. 👍

[@1averageamerican]

Very cool effect with the needle scaler. Well done.

Most people have no idea how hard it is to make a knife like this... amazing work

[@trum6071]

I mean I’ve forged knifes a couple of years an cutting out a metal piece and sanding it isn’t that hard for anyone

[@SergioPena20]

The steel was rectangular and flat. He scribed the shape, ground it and then heat-treated it. It might be hard if you don’t have the equipment. But like the guy before me said, not difficult.

[@ManCrafting]

That turned out simply fantastic. Beautiful job Jeremy.

Beautiful job. Never seen or thought of using a needle scaler like that before. Love watching your work flow. The new disc sander seems to be able to get those handle materials super flat. Also love seeing you use your mill. Man... you always have the best tools! LoL. Awesome!

[@Simplelittlelife]

Haha yeah. Thanks buddy. Few people recognize the needle scaler😀👍. So far the disc is impressing me . Just like anything though, it’s useless until you learn to use it. Still learning on the disc. And everything else really ...👊👍

[@agreyf]

I have been watching your videos for a long time. I have always enjoyed your humble dedication to learning your craft, your skill has grown so much. I am a jack of all trades so when I see someone focused on learning , building and perfecting a craft , I am moved. I know there is endless learning to do , but I have to say you must be nearly able to call yourself a "Master Craftsman". Fantastic work , inspiring diligence.

Really? Anyone can make a knife via stock removal. Forge it to shape, then grind. Then sharpen. That's impressive.

[@Kurkulio]

Виктор Кузнецов скорее всего это криообработка даёт дополнительную твердость стали. Чисто логически низкая температура сжимает частички материала и сталь становится более плотной. Я так думаю

Beautiful knife, though the spine looks a little thick for my liking. Im partial to 2mm thick Japanese made kitchen knives, but thats a wholly different crafting process. It does look very robust and could stand to be used as a cleaver if one had to. All in all great job :)

I think the logo of the company that made that thing and they or he don’t want to show it for probably monetization reasons.

What is generally the best corosion treatment for high carbon knifes. (For kitchen use) As i have found the acid from vegetables don't fancy high carbon.

[@Simplelittlelife]

Continual use 👍

[@RetoAebischer]

Wipe it down after use and hang them. And enjoy the beautiful patina. Done that for years no issue. If you ever have a bit of rusty brown spot because you forgot about it use some steel wool to clean it off

[@velthraytor6179]

@@RetoAebischer thanks i will put the knowledge to use

[@lsubslimed]

Vel Thraytor - It also wouldn't hurt to pick up a bottle of camellia oil from Amazon for around $17, which will last a long time as it only takes one squirt from the bottle to coat the edge and blade. It's what they use over in Japan as it's food grade and doesn't become rancid like vegetable oils etc.

[@albertandrasmittelstadt2720]

Hey there, knive has definitely the looks, but I am asking my self about the hardness of the steel. I am still wondering you preferred the Ice heat treatment instead of the Oil based treatment, is it because it would break and because the shock and the risk is too big? Would like to understand your procedure and what is the difference between those two. Anyways it is a nice knive. Good job :)

[@dmwalker24]

He did a plate quench when pulling it out of the oven and clamping it to pull the heat out. The cryogenic hardening can improve the mechanical properties of steels with more exotic alloying elements like vanadium. The dry ice methanol bath will get down to about -70C which is sufficient but liquid nitrogen would be even better..
