Making a Knife in 2 hours, 7 minutes

- I had this off-cut of O-1 that wasn't long enough for most knives I make. I thought it would be fun to see how fast I could make a knife. Total time working on the knife was 2 hours, 7 minutes. You can add 4 hours and 50 minutes to that for the various time the knife spent in the oven, ferric chloride and stone tumbler.
I really enjoyed the free-hand profiling and not working off a drawing with this knife. I've never done that before and it was refreshing to change it up a bit.

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.

I have been making knives for a couple of years but still find myself at my workbench or desk and do not have a knife handy. I decided that I needed to make several to lay around. This is the perfect idea, small, utility, easy to make, and made of scrap....perfect. Thanks again my friend for sharing your ideas.
That just shows how great of a knife DESIGNER you are. You started grinding and the shape just came out of the steel like it was meant to be lol. Beautiful little knife
Honestly one of my favorite knives you’ve made! The simplicity just makes it so amazing to look at! I wish I had one!!
A fantastic diversion from the crisis we are all in at the moment.
All the best from Australia.
Thank you! All the best to you as well 👍
So very true!
Splendid little knife.
Someone else has already said it, but the full two-hours and seven minutes unedited would be a great thing to watch …
That was a hint.
That belt sander is awesome
Now all that little guy needs is a nice kydex pocket sheath with a thumb ramp, and a minimalistic lanyard.
You should do more "free form" builds. Just metal and imagination.
Little Genius I Say
Bravo 🙌🏼
How is everyone talking about the knife and not the fact that this guy has incredible handwriting
Probably my favorite small knife on the Chanel yet! I can think of a million uses for this little guy as an edc piece. Well done!
Super impressed with your progress over the years. Top notch. Practical. Pro-grade man. Really stellar. This build is one of my favs.
Amazing work sir, thanks for the links to the rotary tool and the checkering file... two items I wanted after watching this video.
Good ol' Strathmore Alberta, some of the best tools I've ever owned have been from small towns in Alberta.
Hey right on! 👍
Sweet little knife
Nice. And the jazz at the end is killer too.
Such a beautiful little work of ergonomic art from a strip of steel... thank you for sharing your artistry!
It looks amazing.
Love your vids man. They are exactly what we need to see to get by in these isolation days. Keep safe and stay home.
I just love everything about that little knife... and the video. Great stuff. Many thanks!
I consider this the inspiration to make something cool! Thanks man
simple yet functional just love it. pulse it will be a great EDC
Very nice little knife 👍🏼
I love when you do videos like this! amazing!
Love that finish..
Love the finish on it
Very cool love the horizontal grinder
Gorgeous little knife.
Wow! Love that little knife, great job!
Looks great! God bless!
Beautiful! Nice job! Nice workshop!
I really like the proportions, almost like a tactical camp butter knife 😁
Another great video! Thanks.
Brother, I love your videos so much. Thank you!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that! Cheers👍
Piece of cake......... for you. Nice blade Jeremy
I really like this. So cool anytime you make an off shoot (one of a kind) type. Really good work, and feel like I can learn by watching your various steps and techniques. Thanks for sharing!
Great build you are truly and artist
Artistry.
Beautiful knife, I would love to own it if you ever decide to let it go.
Also, I agree with the above comments, a slim little kydex sheath would make this a perfect neck knife.
This was fun to watch. I've seen enough of your videos to make the steps you take. The free hand was fun to see. Stay healthy.
Thank you very much. I appreciate that. You stay healthy and happy as well 👍
I’m so glad I have discovered your page!!! I’ve been making knives off and on for a few years now, nothing really major, but as of late I decided to start back to making them in more of a serious manner and watching your TH-cam videos inspires me to really work harder at it and take my time. I’ve got about 15 blanks I’ve cut out and a couple I’ve finished up out of that batch and they have turned out really well and they’ve turned into something I can really be proud of. They’re nothing fancy, but they are tough knives and hold a really good edge even after I have beat the crap out of them to make sure they hold up and to make sure I have my heat treating steps down and consistent. Thanks for the inspiration and keep up the great work!!!!!
Where in Texas you at? I'd be happy to help you test out any of your blades! and do you sell your fine worksmanship?
that knife is beautiful
amazing little knife. wish I had your knowledge
Thank you.
It's a beauty!
That is a sweet EDC.
I love fixed blades. Carrying them is what’s most difficult. Making a fixed blades as easy to carry as a folder.
Pretty awesome, great shop setup.
Super. Thanks
Bonjour, vraiment super ce petit couteau !!!
Je l'adore !!!
I will never get tired of watching a belt grinder chew away metal like that! I long for the days when my 1x30 gets a upgrade and I join the cool 2x72 club haha. Great video!
Nnnice little knife - Adorable as my granddaughter would say!! Handy EDC to slip in a leather pouch pocket sheath. Great build presentation - Thank You - Stay safe!!!
I like your skinny knives! Challenge accepted, i'll try to make "this" one too. Thx for your ideas :). Greetings Dennis
Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls
I love that 👌🏻
Great knife!
nice to see the new grinder in action!
Yeah I’m so stoked it have it ready for work 👍
@@Simplelittlelife Sweet little knife too BTW
Very Nice!
Nice little knife. I just received an order of O1. I'm looking forward to playing with it.
Beatiful Knife. Congratulations !
That's one cool little knife, great job 👍
beautiful work sir, and nice song jazz to finish
Awesome I wish I could have such skill!!!
Nice little build... Hope all is well & you guys are staying safe. Take it easy
Thanks Dave! We’re doing good, just a little stir crazy like the rest of the world. Take care buddy 👍
Awesome video and such a sweat knife! Your a big knife making inspiration for me!
great job and video!
Nice build
Nice handy little knife. You could get many uses out of this.
I want a grinder like that! Shoutout from New Zealand!
Legacy Tool works yeah, would love to find the video for the grinder build.
Elegant.
Awesome! Stay safe!
Thank you! You too 👍
Awesome video !
Thank you!
Very cool knife!
the best!
*wow great video, thank you friend*
It is awesome. 😍
Nice little edc!
Good and beautifull job
Nice. An useful little knife. Beautiful shape. You have very good tools, and you are very handy. Try something more difficult and unusual!
I like the music at the end
Stunning peice
very cool make. nicely done!
Some of the most rewarding projects are the off the cuff ideas. I like everything about that little knife, it would make a perfect fixed blade pocket knife in a nice leather sheath.
I am guessing about 5-5 1/2" ?
Aloha 🤙🏼
Miss your videos, great content and lessons. Praying you and family are well 🙏🙏
Amazing good job
Thank you.
Nice job

such a relaxing video to watch, I must be weird.
So this is great and all but with all my quarantine time I would have loved a 2 hour and 7 min video.... 😉🤣
Hahaha, thanks buddy! 👍
@@Simplelittlelife yeah imagine if you just live stream it 😁
I’m only 12 I have watched your videos and you inspire me to make knives along with the fact that i have liked knives since I was 4 and a was designing a little cleaver and realized a made a less cooler version of your little chubby sooo yeah
Sorry to hear about Canada's firearm situation, I wish you all the best.
Great little neck knife...all you need is a sheath.
CALIDAD 👍
You made something very useful with very good shape with such small piece of matirial which normally get thrown by people .
Awesome. As usual, bro 🍻👌🏼
Thank you.
Beautiful little looking knife. I like it. Good Job 👍😉
Great little beauty
Jeremy, I love this little blade. If you could make a sheath so I could wear it as a neck knife I would love to purchase it from you.
Stay healthy and GOD bless
The perfect distraction 👌
Thank you 👍
Nice little knife man thanks for the video and take care from Edmonton
