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.

Jeremy, thank you for all of your great and inspiring videos. I've started making knives, something I've wanted to do for 30 years and absolutley love it! Thank you sir!

Man two in one day! It's like Christmas! I'm with you on the water dunk. I like it due to the time savings. I've read some forum posts where people smarter than me were saying there was actually a slight advantage... but sounds negligible to me. - Edit: just got to the end... great video as always sir! Loved it all.

With your stainless envelope, can you use like a paint brush roller or some kind of roller that can conform to the knife and roll the oxygen/air out of the end of the envelope before your final "sealing" crimp. Obviously not going to get all oxygen out but just a thought!! Sweet knife, great video!!

@Phaeton_morphs 3 года назад

I noticed you grind the bevels after heat treatment. With stainless like Abel is it best to grind bevels after heat treatment? Is there a disadvantage to grinding the bevels before heat treatment or is it just personal choice? Thank you for your time

@gean.knives 3 года назад

Haven't used AEB L myself, but I hear from the bladeforums that it'll find any excuse to warp. Most guys grind it post ht because of that.

@wordwyrd 3 года назад

Stainless does like to move in heat treat.. but you could grind the primary bevel ahead of time in most cases. We do that often enough for precision parts.

Do you have a video, or maybe could do a video, on running a knife business? I’ve been thinking about starting up one, but I quickly run into the issue that a lot of e-commerce websites don’t allow the sales of weapons, and then I run into the issue that liability insurance for knife makers is super expensive and if your home owners insurance finds out your running a knife making business from your property it can cause issues with them. I’m just curious what your experience with this was and if you ran into the same hurdles.

@CanadianCuttingEdge 3 года назад

I have seen your old video from 2016 about etching logo etc, on steel, that was a complex system, do you have a video where you explain the details of the system you are using in this video. I want to do some AC/DC etching and would like to know your whole process, from how to get the vinyl set up to the very end. THANKS

@KnifehandCustoms 2 года назад

Good morning, sir. Thanks for the videos they have been extremely helpful. I have the same issue with my DIY jig. My knives are coming out with the bevels much lower than I'd like. How do we achieve a higher bevel with a jig? Is it due to a difference in angle? Did the second jig have a lesser angle so the belts bite further up the spine? I finally have a 2x72 Arriving today. I would like to improve what I have been producing and this specific issue is one of the "things that gets me"

@4runner1grfe 3 года назад

Great explanations. How come you grind the knife AFTER hardening the steel? Doesn’t that make the knife significantly more difficult to grind and also wear out your sanding belts faster? Why not grind a bit before heat treating ? obviously not too thin as it’ll warp the knife during quenching

@coltbenning8547 2 года назад

ive been making knife for a very long 3 to 4 months lol notice the single tense in knife, yes one knife. i am still enjoying it very much and the biggest thing ive learned is I NEED TOOLS LIKE YOU GUYS.i thank you for all the info that u pass along. ive never done any metal work past sharpening a couple of lawn mower blades on a bench grinder, so this has been a very educational road. ive learned how little i know. my first is{now complete} a bushcrafting spearpoint out of a 1923 sawmill blade about 3/16 thick. i am assuming it is a high carbon still. so i heat treated it in a wood fire in my back yard. i heated it to the point it wouldnt draw a magnet, quenced it in cooking oil i pretreated with a railroad spike. then tempered it in the oven at 400 for 2 hours let it cool down there till the next day. it seems very hard, and hard to sharpen. i put it to a test this week making feather sticks and process wood (acually batoning it throuh wood as in splitting wood.) it was dissappointing to fell the edge was not as sharp when finished as i woud have thought. any advice on how to do my next blank from this 1923 saw mill blade?
