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.

Shape is a traditional Japanese paring knife. Wonderful craftsmanship.
Thank you so much! 👍
The epoxy probably set in the grooves when you were bedding the tang. I use paste wax when i do it then add grooves in my tang just before final glue up to help the epoxy hold the knife.
Scrolling through the comments, looking for questions i have. I really noticed that you almost answer every one of them. Really appreciate that in videos.
Right on, thank you! 👍
Hey just a little tip that has helped me get the handle of a beded tang would be to but the groves in that tang there after you bed it so the epoxy doubt catch. ;)
Excellent job on the knife and video
Thank you!
Your on-cam explanations are fantastic! Learning a lot watching your channel. Thanks!
Thank you so much! I enjoy your videos too. Cheers 👍
Wax won't override a mechanical lock. Glad you got it out.
There wasnt a mechanical lock though there wasnt a pin
@@tuckerabbott there were notches cut in the tang, which would create a mechanical lock with the epoxy, that's the point of the notches.
Loving these videos. You have the heart of a teacher. Lovely little knife. Thank you!
The wax process will work a lot better if you don’t bitch the sides of the tang until just before final glue up. Leave the tang smooth during the 1st glue up with paste wax and it will slide right out for ya. Love your videos and I’ve learned so much from them. Keep up the great work Brother!!
Jeremy love these start to finish builds...and a awesome build to boot...thx...
Thank you very much! 👍
Nice With a good long knife build video! Thanks J!
Small knives this size will always have a place in my heart. Awesome knife and video.
Thank you!
Another amazing build!!! Great job!!! Thank you for this!! 💪🏿🎯❤️
You’re welcome! And thank you for the great feedback. 🙏👍
Thanks for the added bit of instruction during your bevel grind. As someone who is just starting freehand bevels, that was very helpful!
Right on! You’re welcome 👍
Just discovered your channel. As a knifemaker wannabe I'm seeing so many tips, tricks and methods that answer many of my questions. Even those I didn't know I had. Thanks for all your efforts!
Awesomejob! Love that petty/paring knife!
Thank you!
Great looking knife , the color combo on the handle is spot on .
Awesome as always
Thank you so much 👍
Absolutely awesome 👏 as always, beautiful work !!!
dude, that is gorgeous and the handle construction method is absolutely brilliant!
Thank you!
Such a precise craftsman, a joy to watch!
Thank you so much. I appreciate that! 👍
Finally another knife build🤘🤘
Yeah!! 👍
Love it!!!!! That handle technique looks fab. Must try it.
Cheers
Right on. I’ve found it to be really useful. Cheers👍
Wow, I've watched your videos for years now and they just keep getting better and better. Thank you for what you do Jeremy this is so helpful and interesting!
Thank you very much, I appreciate that! 👍
So many hidden gem tips in this video, one I picked up on is where you mark up the handle, I saw few tricks in that process that will go into my tool chest of methods. Thanks again :)
that is a sweet knife
Another beautiful knife....
Thank you!
I really like this knife, good job 👍
That is an amazing knife!
Thank you!
Great little knife! Not quite as cold here in north Idaho (Rathdrum), but we're getting there. They're predicting heavy snow for us this winter, but what we expect is probably is probably a light dusting for you (130+ inches(.
Absolutely excellent sir! These videos are helping me build my first kitchen knife!
Thank you! I’m glad that these are helping you out 👍
very helpful, thank you!!!!!
Right on! Glad it helped and thanks for watching!
I also make knives through blacksmithing but also decided to use stick removal for some types of knives. Your videos were my inspiration. Great work, great videos, and love the knives you make!

Another great video! I loved the music editing
Thank you so much! I appreciate the feedback. Cheers👍
Cool little knife bud
Thank you!
This was pretty cool. New friend
Awesome, like always
Thank you!!
Very nice it's beautimous!
Thank you!
Perfect 💯
🙏👍
I just love this lil kitchen knife. I’ve probably said that several times already in other posts. Forgive me I’m really just trying to learn. 👍👍👍
Awesome, thanks mate
Thank you! 👍
Love the step by step commentary
Thanks 👍
Incredible work.
Thank you very much.
Looks great dude! Good job!
Thank you!
Use Vaseline for the tang and only a very light thin coating not wax leave in for 5 mins only or less once it's aligned clean off the Vaseline and reinsert 10 mins or so later and you will be fine. lastly holes through the tang provide a better means of mechanical retention compared to rounded outside curves. Sweet work Regards fifty50 knives.
Another beautiful knife i wouldn't mind that for peeling my vegies
Nice knife, love watching your videos!👍
Thank you so much!
Beautiful knife, keep it up.
Thank you!
Jeremy, man - that’s sweet!
Thank you!
So you have been my inspiration to do some knives. I have built a belt grinder and was racking my head over the belt oscillating a bit side to side, but I see yours does too. I have yet to start even figuring what knife i wanted to start with. I think it will be a paring knife. Thanks for sharing your work and passion. Hope to be able to send you a a picture of a knife soon.
Right on. I find it depends on the belts. Some belts run perfectly true. Some wobble. 👍
dude you are my favorite knife maker for a few reasons,
one: both your knives and content are amazing and inspiring
and 2: YOUR FROM CANADA and better yet, your from Alberta which is so cool bc i live relatively close to you
keep up the great work my dude (and p.s i made a little knife "company" with my buddy and i feel like i may be undercharging for them, so is there any way i can send you one of my knives for you to see because i want to get an honest opinion from a more experienced knife maker, as ive been making knives for about 2 going onto 3 years now, thx)
I’d purchase this knife or this style right away. It’s a paring knife BUT a little bigger. Great video great knife
Its for sale on his website in the describtion
tucker abbott yup thanks I commented :30 seconds before he said it was going to be listed
Enjoyed that thanks Jeremy. Respect the poppy.
Thank you. On both accounts. My boys are placing poppies tomorrow during a Remembrance Day ceremony. It’s really important to our family. 👍
@@Simplelittlelife it's a shame what they did to Don Cherry. I live in LA - big Kings fan and I've loved and cherished Don since the early 80's. just a shame. take care.
Super nice knife and superb video!
Thank you so much! I appreciate that 🙏👍
Super nice knife. It should be great in the kitchen. I like that you made the handle big enough for a man's hand. Even in a woman's hand it gives better control.
good looking knife. I just made my first wa handled knife with some advice I took from you. it turned out nice. thanks for sharing your knowledge.
p.s. I use one of your sanding blocks too. I love that thing. worth every penny
Thank you very much, I appreciate that! Yeah it’s a slick way to do it and took all the hassle out of wa handle for me when I learned about it. Thank you for buying a sanding block too! I appreciate the support 🙏👍
That is a b.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l knife
Thank you very much!
good job👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you .
I made knives that looked very much like a few years ago for Christmas presents.
Right on.
Love your videos, not certain but that wood looks like padauk.
I bought some wood scraps for handle with than same grain structure, I took a pic ran it through Google Pics that identifies plants, so cool. It says American Walnut, not sure, I got some cocobola but yeah I think its Walnut, Nice work, heat treat and cryo is a bonus.
Thank you! It’s some weird name. I know I will recognize it as soon as I see it but it’s driving me nuts. I have cocobolo and walnut in the shop and when they’re side by side there’s a distinct difference in the grain. I appreciate your input though! When I do find out what it is i’m going to make a little community post about it 👍
The notches cut into the tang definitely fought against the wax.
Glad to see you repine' the poppy!
Thank you. My boys had 2 shifts each selling poppies with the Air Cadets this remembrance season. Going to a ceremony tomorrow. I’m proud to say we take it fairly seriously in our house. I could never be grateful enough for the sacrifices made. 👍
@@Simplelittlelife Yes, we must always remember. My dad - Navy South Pacific and my father-in-law - Battle of the Bulge.
Stress fractures at the ricasso, due to non-rounded edges, are a thing seen it happen a bunch of times on Forged in Fire (even after the competitors beeing warned in the first round. So not just a theory. You did great by playing it safe. Very nice knife, btw.
Thanks you! I don’t watch a lot of FIF though I enjoy it when in do. I remember in grade school anytime we were turning a part down in a lathe they wouldn’t have us radius any internal 90 degree cuts. We had to calculate the numbers once with engineering manuals and it’s incredible how much stronger that little radius makes a part👍
@@Simplelittlelife same goes when designing electronic circuits, no 90 degree angles in the tracks.
Ah, that’s interesting. Makes sense but never tough how far it would cross over into other fields and disciplines.
@@Simplelittlelife BTW I just remembered that stress fractures are also avoided by any kind of gas, propane, butane, etc. manufacturers, that's why the containers are round (even though they are less space-efficient). In order to minimize leaks and ruptures, due to internal pressure or mishandling, they avoid edges.
top kife 😎😎👍👍
nice work on this little knife. I am not a fan of the recurve on the heel, I've seen some from takefu that have that also and I always get rid of it. really serves no function and you just wind up nicking yourself on it. for larger knives I really like the fujiwara style notch. anyhow, this was a nice little build. great work.
I’ve started considering what size small wheels I have to consider my design of my knives. Large wheels too. Just makes it easier when I have a tool for a specific radius.
You should do a whole set of Kitchen knives like this
That would be awesome! I have a potential client who wants a set of 17 matching knives (kitchen and steak). If they say yes I will most likely do a big ole video about it. 👍
@@Simplelittlelife awesome hope it happens I'll be watching for all that
Nice build. Maybe Im cheap, but I probably would have split the steel in half lengthwise and made two of those blades, making it slightly narrower if needs be :P
Wax only works realy well if the tang is more or less smooth, the grooves/notches in your tang make nice pockets for the epoxy to harden in and make it hard or impossible to take out without any damage to the handle. One way would be to make the grooves/notches after you glued the Handle. Or... you could just do it like you have always done it, seemed to work just fine for you. Loved this vid!
First viewer nice video by the way
Thank you!
What would happen if you took the red hot pouch out of the oven, and put it straight into the cryo treatment? Extreme warpage? Extreme brittleness? Extreme hardness? or just shatter?... I'd like to see that experiment and the resulting hardness. Nice job & nice video work.
I have no idea. Probably just boil all the LQ without much effect. That little dewar is. $140 fill for me so I don’t think I’ll be trying that anytime soon 😆. But that would be really cool to see....🤔👍
3:17 not in theory, in practice. I've fixed knives for a friend who can't weld. Nobody in the manufacturing department (of the quite expensive knives, i might add) bothered to do something as simple and as effective as you're doing, so the result was broken handles on otherwise perfectly good knives. But hey, i learnt to weld stick stainless under water and he got good knives back with the proper radius in the handle, so i suppose win, win.
Excellent video, and great little knife. Glad to see Jeremy you are still president of the Canadian Chapter of the Right Angle Grinder Community 👍👊👌😂🤣
About the radius at 3:25: It actually IS a thing! There are two different problems you have to face, static stress and fatigue stress. It's relatively easy to prevent the first one (you can't bend the steel bar with your bare hand), but if there is a sharp angle, that's the place where material is stressed the most and where will eventually a fatigue fracture iniciate. Any kind of radius can relax this at least a little bit. This should be definitely your concern if your knife is made of thin steel. If you overdo the radius (kinda enter the bar), trust me or not, it's even safer in terms of fatigue (of course this will worsen the static toughness). Fatigue fracture can be seen with cheap kitchen knife, where they spare money on every part that isn't visible.
Radius designed for preventing a fatigue is a thing in shaft design and some are ostensibly weakening the part, but in the end, fatigue is what really matters.
Summarized, it's even safer to make a hole in the corner with a drill than keeping a sharp angle.
Anyway sorry for my english
I like baby powder because it keeps me from chafing! ;) Beautiful knife and crazy sharp! Btw, I love very thinly sliced tomatoes!
Thanks again. I always learn something from you. What to do as well what not to do, like use paste wax when epoxying up a handle. ;) I've been playing with making knives with scrap metal around the house but I'd like to get my hands on some clean 1095 or even play with s35vn or s30v. Do you have a recommendation for what "real" steel to make a "real" blade from and where to get it?
Thank you! I would get it anywhere you can buy that stuff online but all depends on where you live. I always like O-1 tool steel.
@@Simplelittlelife Thanks for the tip! I'm in Central Texas.
@@othername1000 Thanks for your suggestions. I'll give them a look
Nice, what hardness did ya get on that one?
I’m fairly certain the wood at 14:01 is teak, in case anyone was curious. Nice knife!
That wasn’t the name that was on there. Unless teak has sub-species with different names? But thanks for the input 👍
Simple Little Life there are a few subspecies but as far as I know they have the word teak in part of the name. Do Iroko or black locust sound right?
I'm working on my first hidden tang knife. It's a kiritsuke. I'm going to be using your method of fitting the handle. I've had 2 failed attempts already and watching your video REALLY helped me see things differently. When it's done, I'd like to show it to you, but I'm not sure how. How would that work? I just wanted to show how much your videos really do assist novices like myself. Thanks again!
Thank you so much! Shoot me an email at viewersknives at gmail dot com 👍
Hi Mate, I don't know if you're still checking comments on old videos. The wood is Afrormosia. Excellent work by the way!
Oh yes!!! That is exactly it!! Thank you so much! Just last week I was working with it and wondering still what it was. As soon as I saw the word I remembered that was what was written on the side of the block. Thank you so much for taking the time. I really do appreciate it. I'm going to screenshot this and write it down. Thanks again!🙏👍
Nice knife. I think the reason the tang wouldn’t come out of the handle easily is because you put the grooves for the epoxy in the tang. Maybe try making those grooves after bedding the tang.
Great video thanks
Thanks! I moved the blade up and down for that reason and thought it would help. These are just two of several ways to get it done and I think it’s always best to stick with your personal preference. That’s the last time I try waxing it 😆👍
Ok have a good one
Yep, wax works a treat with straight or tapered tangs. but the divots leave a place for the resin to form protrusions that you have to drag past to withdraw it.
3:20 watch forged in fire i lost count how many fails from hard corners
OH I see. I know even when turning a part on a lathe if you can leave a radius instead of a hard 90 you significantly increase the strength of the part 👍
Yes if you're smashing the blade into metal canisters and pig carcasses; this is a simple paring knife to cut tomatoes. I doubt it would break but regardless it doesn't hurt to round the corners...
What angles were your primary and secondary bevels? I'm working on my first hidden tang kirisuke.
Also, I like your method of fitting the handle sections together. I've been fighting that for a long time now. Even when I roughed up the mating surfaces before applying the epoxy, they would come apart during even gentle handling. 😟 The knife turned beautiful by the way.
That tip for air escape on the dowel is epic. That's a Liliputian Chef Knife not a paring. I'm making one this weekend in 440c
and maple burl. That looks like a great take on different way to a mini - petty? 👍
Thanks! Hahaha, I want to make a paring but drew this and liked what I saw and figured maybe the next one will be a paring 😆👍
I'd buy that....
I don't think the wax can work when you have groves for the epoxy to form around. Just a guess but I'm just a armchair expert here :)
I agree with you. Always like to have those groves and for me I’d rather not grind those in when the knife is 90% finished. I just got so many comments about it like they were preaching a gospel message to me. More than 1 way to skin a cat and I should just stay with the way I like to do it 😆👍
@@Simplelittlelife From all that I've watched you do, the groves make sense to me :)
@@bobothewood9628 Grooves will work, but they make pulling out the blade too difficult. On a final glue-up, the grooves offer excellent mechanic advantage locking the tang into place.
Nice knife! Do you ever make knives with local viewers or people interested in the craft, not necessarily lessons more like collabs with less set up hobbyists? 😁
Thank you! I haven’t yet but that would be cool 👍
wax method works better if you didn't have the grooves in the tang. the epoxy hardens around the groves making it hard to extract.
Hi Jeremy love the video as usual bud great work. What camera and lense do you use mate? And coincidentally this paring build falls on the same week as our first tfs knife maker challenge on Facebook. Theres been some conversation on the group about your build as we are all building a similar parer in there. We'd love it if you wanna come over and say hi. Apologies for hijacking your comments thread it's not my intention. We love your channel
That's a slick little knife Jeremy! You used the needle scaler to make the dimples on the flats right? I missed it if you said you did in the video somewhere. Great work as always!
Thank you. That’s actually the mill scale finish that comes on the steel. Handy 👍
Looks awesome. Maybe make some for sales...?
Thank you. Yeah I plan on doing that 👍
Nice little knife question what would happen if you put the blade into the oven before you have turned the oven on and left it there while it came up to temperature then quench it
25:45 😮😮👍
Cool video. How come you glue the handle up, then remove the blade only to glue it back in later?
Thank you. I do that so I can true the handle to the blade and then shape and profile the handle workout the blade in it. Makes it so much faster to shape the handle. I have a few recent videos where I go into detail on how I do all that 👍
the wax works better if you don't have concave grinds in the tang that the epoxy fills and locks in place.
Jeremy, please would you tell me how you got your epoxy in that 1/16” slot for final glue up. Thanks
That wood looks a little like Brazilian brownheart.
Or Sapele Mahogany.
Really love your videos! What sort of math do you do to balance the blade to the handle? Or is it mostly by feel?
Hey, I am a beginner knife maker and I have been watching your videos for a while... I am looking to get a legit belt grinder that will be more effective for shaping and beveling my knives. However, I do not have the space, and can't afford a large 2 x 72 belt grinder. So, I was wondering if you or anybody else had any suggestions as to what would be an effective yet affordable grinder that I could purchase. Thanks!
Ps.: I have been inspired a lot by your content, and I am really grateful for that. Love your videos, keep up the great work!
You do realize that because you ground those scallops into he edges of the tang that, regardless of wax, the epoxy filled those voids making a mechanical lock you had to break loose. I'm surprised you actually got it out, you He-Man! It probably would have worked much better if you had ground those in after the initial glue-up and just utilized them in the final glue-up. That's what I think anyway.
You are 100% correct. It was late at night and I wasn’t thinking everything through 😆👍
@@Simplelittlelife Haha, it's always the simple things that catch us out!
