How to make a Knife: Mini cleaver with Pearl Kirinite

[@Pitbullflboy]

Second glass of scotch...this is almost like therapy. This cat is legit!!! God bless!

[@Simplelittlelife]

Right on, thank you! 👍 God bless you too!

[@glenralph5123]

The combo of finish, handle material and pins is shmexy made even better on that mini cleaver. Great knife, mate.

[@juppschmitz1974]

I really am jealous! On your skill and on your approach and precision... You use that bandsaw and grinder like a doctor uses a scalpel! Just lalala and perfect fit... And I LOVE the tiny knife! I'm in a budget, but I totally would totally buy one!

[@mramanya]

That looked like a mirror finish to me. My 16 yo daughter said she wants that little pendant knife. :-) Thanks for the video.

[@tonybowers9490]

Back to building knives. Awesome. Thanks for sharing. Great looking knife!

[@paul_schuette]

That knife is stunning! Nice work, as usual.

[@Lee_B_Futures]

Absolutely love the videos like this where you show the whole process. It helps us still learning emmensly. Thanks so much!

[@Lee_B_Futures]

Beautiful knife btw

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thank you very much! And when I use the vise grips it is just to hold the knife to the jog. I eye-ball the plunge line to get it evened up. Cheers👍

[@richardbohlingsr3490]

Turned out real nice. Great design.

[@andrewgoldstein1606]

Hey Jeremy Nice mini cleaver. Love the handle. Thanks for the video.

[@matteothekid]

I want to get into knife making eventually. I love those handles may have to do something like that eventually.

[@gregoryaul2005]

Like the vid ,id like to start making knives to live I PA USA ,but need to get more tools first,seeing those knives shine really inspires me thanks again

[@thegoonies5924]

You are such a roll model!!! I wish I could make knives like you!!!

[@Simplelittlelife]

Nice work as always. Looks like the VFD was a huge benefit. Cheers

[@Mazdrift]

Great one! Its so nice with the pearl and high finished blade. Love it! One tip for your ”shop”. Put up some insulators on the walls/ roof. So thw sound doesnt eco. It was so good in your container. Keep it simple!!

[@PermacultureHomestead]

[@austinash9337]

Permaculture Homestead hell yea

[@HAHANATION]

Would love to see the micro knife build. Lol... Awesome work as always!

[@zanelaw3096]

[@Mad4saxBrewery]

Beautiful knife!!

[@kenmarapese9085]

Excellent vid. I'll look forward to the grinder mods vid!

[@imbyrd5357]

Son his voice is so calming

[@weston8478]

Hi Jared, firstly I loved to watch your knifemaking processes, and your ideas that you bring to the craft. I was wondering if you might post your music from your videos in the description, I find a lot of it to be very entertaining. Thanks and keep up the awesome work!

[@eliosaile1689]

Beautiful knife man! Love the video!

[@stokkelandsmia1631]

beauty!! i really like that blade !!

[@semiherinc6976]

great work as usual. question, why did you sanded all surface before polishing? thanks

[@bryanr2885]

Still need to send in my viewers knives submission! Gah! Great video! Can't wait for more like it!!!

[@Simplelittlelife]

Do it!

[@BLHomestead]

Absolutely stunning sir. You do amazing work. Really enjoy your knife videos. Very very inspiring.

[@jbratt]

Another great video Jeremy 👍

[@PhazonTheIM]

Great video! Keep up the good work.

[@trudrum11]

So no one is going to ask for the links or info on this super chill music he’s got playing?!?! Please send or post the info, loved the video and lessons/insight, the music just made it that much more. I was just relaxing watching you make your art.

[@jakefriday1714]

Very nice job keep up the good work

[@wilbogle]

Love the white pearl scales

[@Simplelittlelife]

Good choice on my clients part😆👍

[@johndoyle7897]

[@adamwood2640]

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thank you!

[@ALNDRY]

Amazing, really hoped to see a final edge on the knife though

[@stefm8251]

Beautiful knife love the design !👍

[@ronthacker211]

Pro work... enjoyed it.

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thank you very much!

[@supdus]

Love it...... Should do a cheese knife next

[@frankbusuttil2572]

Nice build J. Always loved that blade. Two things I don’t understand. How do you set your scribing gauge to get the centre of the steel you are marking ? And, why sand blast the blade if you then hand sand that finish off? Thanks for the vid. Nice to see you set up for n the new shop.

[@luizfratelli12]

good job bro congratulations im from Brasil

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thank you!

[@blitzshoba123]

I really enjoyed watching this. I like your garage set up, too. It's the dream haha. Did you collect all the equipment over time or start with a few key pieces of machinery and build from there?

[@gregwebb2630]

I really enjoyed the video, thank you

[@The07gsxr1000]

Do you have a video on you angle set tool that you use for your grinds if not that would be awesome

[@page76metalcraft19]

Looks good man. Quick question though.. how is that not a mirror finish? I saw another maker say his knife he made wasn't a mirror finish either but yours and his look just like a mirror what is considered a mirror finish?

[@Keith_the_knife_freak]

Nice work as always

[@AK-hn4jy]

Could you share your heat treat process as far as the step you take with the even heat kiln. What temp do you heat to before putting the kife in? How long do you soak, ect?

[@treygrubbs2550]

When you are sanding, I see you using the Windex bottle to wet the metal. Is it just water, or do you add something to the water? It seems to foam a little. Are you actually using Windex? Just wondering, because your finish is beautiful.

[@AmethystDeciever]

Hey Jeremy, great video. Ever do a hand polish and notice an "orange peel" effect on the bevels. Happens every once in a while to me and I'm not 100% sure why. Btw I prefer chainsaw files for the spanish notch over the tapered ones you used here, doesn't leave a tapered notch

[@barryburas5670]

How is your setup for dust control when grinding knives?

[@grindinitout1761]

Awesome knife! I thought record for the smallest fixed blade......you beat me though.

[@Simplelittlelife]

Hahaha! 😆 Cheers👍

[@totol49]

Nice one again Jeremy. Did you planed to make Viewer Knife vidz or not since you change your frequenecy of publishing?

[@kevinAuman1]

Really digging the micro knife, have one for sale?

[@Simplelittlelife]

It sold already. 👍

[@kevinAuman1]

Simple Little Life want to make another?

[@abodyseed8210]

Cool knife Love the white G10 look Where do you get that ? I would appreciate if you can put up a link where to buy it

[@neilyeag]

Will you offer the sanding blocks for sale again? I really would like one.

[@chrisp5428]

Have you ever tried normalizing or annealing your rough blanks before you do any grinding? Or does the 01 ship already normalized/annealled? Thanks, take care!

[@ShortwickCreations]

Purchased stock metal doesn't need to be annealed as it's not hardened, and since he's not forging the metal and introducing stresses it doesn't need to be normalised.

[@Lee_B_Futures]

Are you using the vice grips kinda like a file guide on the jig grinding there? Im still working on my whole jig situation and how to secure the workpiece. If so, that's a neat idea and will try it myself...

[@bernabesanchez387]

Awesome knife

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thank you!

[@chriselliott484]

are you using o-1 tool steel

[@cobymorgan5314]

What oil do you dunk it in

[@WUTANGCLANMOFOS]

what is the minimum thickness you like to have your edge before heatreat?

[@mazur7914]

Jamie, what belts of trizact do u prefer the gator or the other withe the plain structure ?

[@nicolaskroll6802]

Hi! What are you using to grind with angle?

[@riley_evans7377]

Really wanna see a vid of that little knife

[@thiagoperdigaoalvarez9261]

Ficou muito maneiro! O cabo ficou incrível!

[@willdoyle509]

You should put in the description where you can buy the metal

[@sethjones5078]

Will Doylevlogs check out jantz supply if your in the states

[@richardkuipers7295]

Beautiful

[@dg5450]

Can you please tell me where you get your steel from and does it ship to Canada

[@gigamut11b86]

BEAUTIFUL job on that mini-cleaver...would love to own one! Have you ever made one with a single sided bevel? & what are your thoughts on it? Wish I had the money to buy what I wanted...lol Hope you have a great day & be safe :)

[@markinhohh]

what is that black material you use for the pins??? xD BTW that knife turned out pretty awesome, i love the detail of the polished grind lines, keep up the good work, and in one of your vídeos youve said that youre gonna change some things, in your vídeos due to the knife making... To me keep it simple, like youve been doing til this moment... Like the name of your channel, simple little life.. because of that we can keep knowing you as a person as well, and not only as a knife maker... i like your personality... keep it like that...

[@GlenTurner100]

Howdy mate, I'm a bit late to the party but I love your content. You got a new subscriber and a tap on the notification bell. Catch ya next video

[@joexg50]

BEAUTIFUL BLADE

[@CwaldmanDesigns]

Where do u get your handle material in Canada?

[@jesussaves5062]

For how much did you sell it if you dont mind me asking ?

[@timthrasher9703]

Smart way to drill out the scales

[@railx]

You should have just purchased a Shopmate from Gameco in Australia. It has all the features you are talking about adding to your grinder.

[@ezryderx47]

Really nice! :)

[@touchMelilbro]

Try to use a slicing motion when quenching that will eliminate any worp.

[@Simplelittlelife]

Interesting. I’ve actually never had an issue with warp during oils quenching though.

[@_HENRY_S]

Where did you get your belt sanders?

[@Simplelittlelife]

I have a KMG and I bought it from Knifemaker.ca. The horizontal one I made. 👍

[@wakopf]

How do I order one ?

[@fa-tre2869]

I know he’s not the first to make a mini cleaver, or finger grooves, but this entire design is really reminiscent of Alan Folts’ Minimalist designs.

[@KRYPTIDE]

What kind of type font is used for your banner?

[@jasonbethea1114]

Beautifu. knife.

[@BazonBlades]

You used 3/16" 01 for this piece. Are you finding that 3/16" 01 stock needs a soak time in HT? I am getting ready to do a run of kiridashis in 01 and only have a propane forge for HT. The over all dimensions I will be working with are 6"×1"×3/16". I figured I would bring it up to critical/nonmagnetic, soak for a minute then quench at 150 degrees oil temp. Then two rounds of tempering at 400 for 1 hour each.

[@zanelaw3096]

Can you please do a vid on where you get your steel.......im haveing a really hard time trying to find a good place too get o1 and nj steel baron never has any.......and i saw you use presition marshall but i cant find there wed site

[@sethjones5078]

zane law if your in the states check out jantz supply they have great prices and a good selection of materials good luck!

[@zanelaw3096]

River run Knives thanks so much......i realy apriciate it!!!

[@stevelee3144]

Jantz

[@jarchila]

You got the sides mixed up for your subscribe link and other videos link. Love your vid man. Keep it up!

[@Simplelittlelife]

Whoops! Thanks for that😆👍 I’ll have to change it when I’m back at my computer. Cheers👍

[@jamesmanning1528]

Can I have the scrap mini cleaver? Please please please

[@stephenkeefer3436]

Wow! If only bandsaws cut as smooth and fast as the video!

[@BENBASIL]

How can I order this same style knife from you?!

[@leebarker4361]

Run an isolating switch for the VFD and you can run a number of machines off of it ,got my belt grinder and a disc grinder running off of mine

[@NuManXplore]

Great looking knife Jeremy! I’ve never tried a mini cleaver, but they certainly seem popular! I have to ask, is that a portrait of Abraham Lincoln on the wall there? 😁

[@cjpiper2420]

Nice😜👍🏻

[@marcoscastillo2018]

Were to buy this knife please if someone can help me need the 411

[@Simplelittlelife]

Homesteadknives 👍

[@richardbryant7972]

I’ll take the one your gonna throw away be a nice pattern, how much you want for it?

[@Simplelittlelife]

I think I’m just going to add it to my collection. When people come over and ask do I wreck any blades while learning, I like to have an impressive visual😄👍

[@filipfeist375]

That is nice

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thanks!

[@aarondcmedia9585]

You probably already know, but panels offset from the ceiling are typically better for removing echoes than panels stuck to the ceiling.

[@marikk1392]

Просто супер!

[@nosaints6173]

How could we order from u?

[@Simplelittlelife]

very carefully
