Making a small EDC fixed blade (as fast as possible)

- This was not the knife I planned on making today. The first one had a major warp in the blade after hardening (I think it's fixable) but since I said there would be a knife build video today, I made this one with what little time I had remaining in the day. Enjoy!

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.

Simple Little Life nice little knife in only 5 hours (I make one bad handle in 2 days)

Obviously I'm a year late, lol, but what would you charge for a knife like that? I want to get into knife making too and am not sure how to price! Do you figure price by the by the hour, or do you charge premium on top of materials cost? Thanks, and it looks great!
eliprince1 to answer your question, Would you price a Vincent Vangouh painting by the hour? Obviously not so why do so for your knife building
@@ZIPPOMANIAC he is running a home business, it is perfectly reasonable to value your labor at an hourly rate when determining the price of the product you're trying to sell. I knife that took me 5 hours to make isn't worth $1000 just because i think it's really cool, know what I'm sayin? :)
Those quick knifes you do are honestly the ones I like the most
Thanks! They are a lot of fun and an efficient (yet hectic) way to work👍
I lost my Buck 110 that I have had for over 30 years. A gentleman at work found it and knew it was mine, and returned it. I was so thankful I wanted to make him an edc, I would give him as a reward for being so honest. I was looking for a shape something fast and I will make a sheath for it this turns out to be the shape that inspired me thanks for your content God bless from Tucson
Great little knife. No apology required. Got the job done and provided us with some good info!!!
Dude that looks great for being a quick five hour knife!
Thank you!
Simple Little Life you should make a hunting knife with a guy hook
No apology necessary. Great little project. Looks good. Vid quality is fine.
Great looking little knife Jeremy. I'd be proud to carry/own that any day. Don't put so much pressure on yourself! We all love what you're doing or else we wouldn't be subscribing!!
Great looking knife
I'm never going to be able to be a knife builder but I really enjoy your vids and checking out the equipment and knife making process. Thanks
Great!!! Thanks for this Video!! Gr.f.suisse!
No need to apologies about production value. This was a great video and that was a cool little knife.
That looks just beautiful! I have so much respect for you, handcrafting something like this in 5-6 hours, basically from scratch. True art right there. Love the knife!
This knife was so beautiful
What a beauty of a knife, that serves me to take the skin of the animals I used to hunt, such as deer and wild pigs. Congratulations, my friend.
That is a cool result for a quick job. In this things you can see the skills and knowledge of a man who loves what he do. Even if i not plan do my own knives because i busy with so many other projects, i still enjoy all of your videos. Thanks for this from germany
Thank you very much! I really appreciate the kind words. Cheers to you from Canada👍
Really like it. The blue is stunning. Would love to own it
I absolutely love this knife. I couldn't tell you how many times I've watched this video.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! Cheers 👍
Light bulb moment! Lay down tape to mix epoxy on! Thanks!
What, page by page on a phone book is yesterday? Hell yeah.
Very nice. I admire your craftsmanship
A lot of people have already said this but I will say it again, that is one sweet little knife!
Awesome job. A learning experience for me. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😎
Dude that knife came out awesome!!!
Might not have been the highest production value, as you said, but solid video regardless. In fact, you doing the audio afterward and doing some quick cuts and keeping things on point actually improved my enjoyment. Thanks again.
There is nothing wrong with the knife! It looks fantastic!!
nice video....
That's a really good useful size knife, not to big, not to small and thick enough to take on some heavier work.
Hi guys... retting from Spain, m first comment, and one of my first suscrptions... I'm a new knves maker.... I can't call myself bladesmith.. but I'm n the way... Thanks for your inspiring videos. In the future, and if I learn how to do it.. wil be a pleasure share my "creations" with all of you.Again... thanks in advance to all of you..
The first things I noticed were: you are highly skilled. You have machinery most of us only dream about. You need to take a chill pill because you're beyond relaxed. You don't respond to many questions or comments - only to the compliments or a few technical ones. Yet your outreach is actually to the little guy - the dreamers - the ones who want to learn but haven't reached your level. Just offering a few observations here that I hope will actually encourage you.
Beautiful little knife
Dry cool knife. I really like. I think it came out very good.
What a beatifual blade wow gorgeous
No need to apologize for that.... I think you made up for it w/ a wicked little blade. Good job and good luck in the future... If you ever need another "5 hour" video idea, please do an old folding razor design but as a pocket knife. I'm curious how you would do it... But also because I think it would be cool. LoL
Beyond impressed. Bravo.
Dude, you make absolute works of art. This knife is "simple" and straight forward and perfectly done, in my opinion. By simple I don't mean I could do it, I mean elemental.
How to do you get such a mirror finish just using the 2x72? I would've thought there'd need to be a lot of hand sanding on the primary bevel for that level of finish. I don't make knives but I watch a lot of videos and your finishes really stand out
Beautiful little knife thumbs up for the UK
These are my favorite ones! Time lapse videos just feel more relaxing.
One of my favorites I've seen you make! Nice and simple!
You are winer! That blade is great! 👌👍👏👏👏
haha, thank you!
Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls
What a lovely little knife. I particularly like the layered handle design.
Great knife, well done sir! I could watch these high-quality knife making videos all day!
Wonderful skills. Clear and concise instructions. Attention to detail and entertaining to watch. Wish I had your skills and your workshop.
Stop apologizing, we enjoy the videos either way and the knife came out well. Thanks for making
I love this build so much. Straight to the point !
I'm having a hard time understanding why anyone would dislike this video.
Sweet little knife!
I love that little knife.
Thanks!
Beautiful knife
Wow this is the coolest little knife I've seen. Simple and absolutely awesome.
5 hours?! That's insane. Even with you rushing through it, it looks professionally done and really high quality. It really shows the immense skill set that you have. Well done. Keep it up.
No need to excuse the quality and/or camera angles. It came out awesome!
It's stuff like this that makes me want to think I can actually start making knives like the one you made. Time will tell if I do dare try..
The Bevel jig is nice touch plain and simple but very effective thanks for sharing
nah you dont have to say sorry that is just a awesome knife and the vid was made with great quality. keep it up
Nicely done!
Really like the design and awesome choice for the colors on the handle.
For a rush job, that turned out great. Nice video as always!
Five hours and you make an amazing knife, truly are talented. Thanks again for another awesome knife video.
Love those massive pins in the blue scales.
Nice job!
Great looking little knife!
What an absolute beautiful piece of work ! And another great video as well.
Awesome job
Love the contrasting colors on the handle. Very nice knife
Thank you very much!
don't apologize...the production quality was fine! Really enjoyed the build.
So glad you got a video out its the highlight to my day
Beautiful knife!!
Very nice knife. Cool, too.
Sometimes I like a video like this that goes through all the stages and gives lots of details (belt grits, little tips). I find I learn a lot. Keep up the good work, hopefully soon I'm going to have a pic for your viewer knives.
Perfect job!
Nice knife Jeremy.
Amazing knife and video!
I really am loving that knife. I don't know why, but as soon as I am done with my first knife (I am half way threw beating the little bugger in to shape) I will buy some o1 to try this. It's so idk.. it really catches my eye
That's a GREAT looking knife! The blade shape is really nice, and I love the colors of the handle scales.
Thank you very much!
My 8 year old daughter just saw that knife and wants it bad.
Proud papa :)
I think that's a really cool little knife, man you have a lot of skill and make everything look so easy, truly a gift. Good job and great content as usual, keep it up👍
Thank you very much! I appreciate it.
One of the cutest knife I've seen on TH-cam so far. And I've seen A LOT !!
Hahaha! Thanks👍
That's beautiful!
Learnt a nice tip from president of Australian knife makers guild. He uses two big blocks of aluminium that he clamps the knife between as soon as it comes out of the kiln. The aluminium works as a quench as it conducts heat so well. He uses shims for the tip cut out of a can. Keeps knife straight and cleaner than oil.
I actually did a place quench on this one (you can see the 1" aluminum in the opening shots. That's why I was quite surprised to have a warp on that blade. I've done 154CM, CPM 154 and have had no issues. This was a surprise to me for sure!
Weird. My guy unwrapped the steel First and then shimmed the point straight while it was cooling. But that bend looked in the middle..?
Looks great, my friend! I live the blue scales and the black pins!
Nice job Jeremy - looks terrific; Booyah!
Top little knife mate....I love your work and always enjoy your vids
one of the best small knives ive seen i watched the vid about 4 times
I love the home-made horizontal grinder!
Great job... nice looking blade..
What a beautiful knife great job unbelievable
Thank you very much! I really appreciate it👍
That little knife is awesome. I bet with those handle colors a black kydex sheath would look really good too.
This video has inspired me to no end brother.
Thank you! It is so encouraging to hear that. 🙏 Go out and do! 👍

Thank you so much! And you are welcome and thanks for watching 👍
I love your videos when you challenge yourself to make a knife. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much! I appreciate that. Cheers👍
I would still like to see you make that BBQ meat slicer knife you started with, it looked like it was going to be a beauty. You turned a disappointment into a real victory with the knife you did make, really nice job.
y obvio no puede faltar su respectiva funda de kydex al mas puro estilo de simple little life!
Nice work Jeremy, I'll bet that was a long day for you, especially when you add on the video editing! Thanks for honouring your commitment to keep putting out great content. Cheers mate, John
A great job
That thing is gorgeous! Maybe you can use that for an impromptu GAW?!
