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 find your videos very therapeutic
Awesome! I really appreciate that comment. Cheers!
Simple Little Life o shit, I can't believe you replied!
Hi Jeremy. Just a quick note to let you know that the Tanto arrived in my mail box, all the way here in Sydney Australia, today. I fell in love with this knife just looking at the intro shot to the video and holding it in my hand, all I can say is thank you so much for putting so much love and talent into your work. To everyone else, Jeremy's knife making skills are amazing and his pricing just can't be beaten. If you are looking for a great knife at a great price, homestead knives is the place to shop. Thanks again Jeremy. Extremely happy.
Gorgeous, Simple and clean. Perfect..
Absolutely gorgeous! It's the knife version of the clean sleek look achieved by modern furniture designers. :D
Thank you very much. I really appreciate that! Cheers!
The tanto design is my favorite style because of how beautiful it is in its simplicity. I love the white G10 handles you used, it compliments that, the whole build is just a work of art.
You inspired me to start knife making. Thank you, all the way from New Zealand.
+Rob Correa thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
You are the only youtuber with notifications on.
Your videos are just so delightful and, like another one already wrote, very therapeutic and chilling!
I love your knives. One day I will save up and buy from you. If you ever want someone to do a review of one of them, I’d be more than happy to
Great video. The white handles does 90% of the overall awesomeness for me :) Looks sooooo good with white handles.
This is a gorgeous knife. Very well done indeed.
Thanks!
Despite not being a fan of hollow grind myself, I have to say, this is an absolutely amazing piece and hollow grind really works well! :)
This is super informative! I just finished my first knife (bushcraft) by watching your "How to make a knife" video and I'm going to try to make a tanto for my friend's uncle who got me a bunch of exotic wood for handles and this video gives me a good idea how to do it
Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much!
Thank you for making a knife video again. It's way I started following your channel.
Thank you very much! I'm always worried that I'd just be making the same video just a little different. But when I look at a lot of the youtubers that I enjoy they'll typically do slight variations of similar projects as well so I guess it's not all that bad. Glad you enjoy them for sure and appreciate the support. Cheers!
Nice stuff, no fuss, down to earth.
Thanks!
Sehr schön. I like the clean look and the white Handle. I prefer thinner steel for this elegant knive. Greetings from Germany.
Thanks! And greetings right back at you from Canada:) Cheers!
Nice, perfect Knive, Beautiful..Greatings Richard
That came out fantastic
Thanks!
Hey I would like to tell you that you are the best chanel for making knifes out there.
I'm watching this kind of videos for over a year and you are definitely my favorite.
You explain everything very good, the format of the video is great and I like your taste; the outro, the music everything. :)
Thank you very much. I really appreciate that. Cheers!
You do these knifes just for hobby? because you're very technical and mathematic with your builds
I am a full time knife maker but it started out as a hobby:)
@@Simplelittlelife yes your knives look great .
I love you're kind of content. You do things other knife making channels do but in a lot more detail and better quality, love watching your videos keep it up!
Buen trabajo, se ve que eres diestro con las herramientas estacionarias.
saludos desde Guayaquil en Ecuador
Beautiful knife . Very nice job
Wonderful design and execution.
Thank you very much!
Love it!
Thank you!
Very attractive knife. I love the simplicity yet it looks some what intricate. Great job.
Thank you very much. I really appreciate that. Cheers!
Simple Little Life not a problem. Keep up the great work. I love your videos. Inspires me but am yet to take the plunge and try it out.
Howdy! I love all of your content! Rest assured, no one is going to get tired of your knife building videos. The video quality and your ability to explain and educate is the best that I have seen. To be honest, your videos are what has inspired me to try my hand at knife making. My two cents, make what you like; it's all great stuff and will be a pleasure to watch! Happy holidays to you and your family!
Thank you very much. I really appreciate the compliments and I'm glad you're excited to get going on knife making. You and your family have a Merry Christmas as well. Cheers!
Awesome Vid!!!! I have trouble making the tanto tip and you explained it very well
Love white tanto

Thank you very much!
Very nice knives ya make . Me and my dad made a knive together.
Thank you! That’s awesome! 👍
@@Simplelittlelife we did it very old school . I found a guy that sold coal and i met him at gas station to pay for it i am talkin years ago we had a forge set up with a airline goin to it think we tried using a old lawnmower blade but then it broke lol . It was fun .
Przepiękny nóż! Super wykonanie! Też chciałbym taki ;)
As always a work of art. I would buy that exact design with black G-10 and a nice green or white liner.
Thanks! Ooooh. Those colours sounds nice!
Thats really cool!
Thank you!
Beautiful
Another sweet knife, man
Thank you kindly.
ahhh I miss these types of videos
haha thanks! I'm always worried that they'll just get boring and kind of become the same thing over and over again.... But I'm glad you enjoy them. Cheers!
I really enjoy your videos
Exelente trabajo amigo felicidades
Great work
Super! I'm want this knife!!!
Thanks!
Knife simfe end beautifull nice
Beautiful work.
That is a very handsome knife Jeremy! There's always something to learn from your videos: I got two new ideas from this one, first, I liked how you used a clamp on your drill press as a guide/pivot point during drilling, and second, the hollow grind on the handle to reduce weight. Clever! Cheers mate, John.
Thanks John. Much appreciated. I've gathered those ideas from others and just passing them along:) Cheers!
Love that nice it's beautiful so gd at ur job can't wait till l can get 1 thank you
gorgeous i really like that
Thanks!
This is amazing. I'd love to have this ability.
Thanks!
Cool knife
Thanks!
Thumbs up. Nice blade. I really enjoy these videos. Stay warm brother
Thank you very much! And thanks for the stay warm too! All the best to you also! Cheers!
love the videos man keep up the good work
Very Nice!
Well done
Thank you very much!
beautiful 👏👏👏
Thank you very much!
Very instructional video. I have really come to like your video presentations, they are very well done and of a professional quality. Just wondering, is there a video of your "container" shop. I remember once you mentioned it was in a container.
huhh...
This is beautiful!
Very nice breed. was surprised by the weight reduction.
Thanks. Yeah, I was quite surprised too. I was curious about it one day so I thought I might as well weight it during a video. Cheers!
Great knife. Almost japanese !
I'm making a tanto marking knife. to be honest a finger ring on one of these things and a curvy handle compliment the geometric blade. but my handle is a smaller than the blade so there is also no chance of hand slipping onto blade.
Awesome work man! Very descriptive with your process great video!
Thank you very much.
Very nice
Thank you 👍
Looks really nice! ;)
wow great work :)
Thanks a bunch!
awesome work :D
thank you very much!
I want that knife
Is O1 tool steel softer than 1095? I can never drill my holes in 1095 without annealing it first. Do you have any tips for drilling the holes?
Anneal it first
top Job
Thank you very much!
I'm working on my first knife. It's a tanto as I love the style! I've made the main shape of the blade and handle but when drilling the holes in the handle I drilled one hole fine but my dill bit melted in the second hole and I thing the metal has hardened because all the new drill bits I use break instantly! I don't have much money to risk buying more drill bits just to have them break as well! Should I cut my losses and grind a spike like hidden tang to put into a wooden handle or is it possible to redrill the hardened hole to save the full tang?
dom sturman
Hi I have never built a knife my self, however, this intrigues me. Are you using quality drill bits? Melting? When the bit quits cutting you need to re sharpen it. Perhaps some cutting oil would help. Also, you may need to start with a smaller hole first, then progressively go to a larger bit. It sounds like you may be using an old file for your knife blank, in that case, you will need to anneal the metal.
+Jim Goodwin I was using cheap Chinese drill bits. Bought a good quality one and it drilled like a boss! Thanks for your advice 👍🏻
That knife is so damn nice
Thank you very much!
I just purchase one of your mini tantos from your website , I was wondering if this tanto is the same size and blade length as your mini? Thanks again, great video
Very nice :)
Thanks!
Yep, I would like to know what a tanto knife is used for and why the design.
Thanks
Elegant knife, reminds me of a straight razor in a way. I know you've probably answered before, what steel do you use normally?
Mostly I use O-1 tool steel but I'm starting to venture out and try some SS steels. Testing some stuff and figuring out my heat treat on some 154CM as well as some CPM154. But O-1 has been my go-to for a long time:)
came out amazing! :)
Hey Jeremy just a quick question doesn't the hollow grind in the handle leave less material for the epoxy to hold too?
A saya out of the same plastic you used on the handle with a tube rivet in the bottom for a lanyard would be awesome , and how much to the uk please ?
Amazing work!
What kind of belt grinder is your 2x72..?
very nice, can I know what type of materials you used to make the knife?
Looks good Jeremy, a nice classy piece! Have you ever done a tapered tang? I think that would greatly reduce the weight as well, especially using .25" stock.
Thanks buddy! No I haven't done a tampered tang yet but it's on my list. I'm still trying to sort out how exactly I would do it. The thing I have the hardest time getting around and it's probably nothing, but I worry about drilling the holes and getting them all to line up plumb when the tang is angled. It's probably like most things: just start doing it and you'll figure it out:)
Simple Little Life what if you drill the holes first, and after that you make the tang tapered? (I don't know if it works, but it was the first thing I thought of)
Yeah it sounds like it would work but I'm wondering about installing the pins during glue up after the tang has been tapered. the holes drilled in the scales would then be slanted due to the taper of the tang. Although I'm sure it's something that doesn't even need to be worried about. Things like this hold me back all the time and then when I just say who cares and start doing them, it's amazing how easy they are and the "problems" I was worrying about in my head don't even exist. :)
Can you give us the details on the pins you used and where to get them? Thanks! Great videos- getting me back in the shop.
They are some S/S seamless pipe I picked up at Metal Supermarkets. I go there quite a bit and just search thought their off-cuts and usually find a few interesting options for pin material. Metal Supermarkets has locations across Canada and the US. Google them and maybe there's something near you. Cheers!
Did you make your part-band table or buy it somewhere? If you made it, is there a DIY vid somewhere?
Awesome knife BTW! HA!! Just found your vid! TY
Another great knife and instruction .1 thing do you ever use wood for the scales? I am new to knife making just curious
Yeah I do but I've only done one video where I use it. I do like wood for scale for sure. It's also probably easier to get small pieces of hardwood than synthetics like G-10 and micarta if you're just starting with knife making. I hope your knife making journey is as enjoyable for you as it has been for me. Good luck and enjoy! Cheers!
superb
Thanks!
Love it Jeremy. I'll have one if you feel I've shipping to Australia again. I still owe you for the sanding block shipping. Have you ever made matching g10 sheaths. Would look great on this knife. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! I certainly can send one your way for sure:) I really like the idea of G-10 sheaths and I totally see (in my head) how it would suite this blade really well. Thanks for putting that in my mind. Cheers!
Thanks Jeremy. I'll email you about the knife. Thanks for the great videos this year and thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas to you and the family. Frank.
Can you show how you put on the second bevel and then sharpen it?
I checked your website out and I noticed you had a knife similar to this but with a different finish. I want a knife exactly like this! How would I get ahold of you? Thanks man nice work as always
I think you should start forging blades it's a lot more fun and you go through less abrasives
I'm looking into building a forge.....and I've picked up a church of rail road track as a make shift anvil until I can find one. I really really want to start messing around with smashing hot steel:) Cheers!
what is the wall thickness on those pins? I like the way they look im thinking about getting some. thanks!
I don't know as I'm currently traveling right now, but they seemed to be a fairly common thickness like schedule 40 or something. It is a seamless stainless steel pipe I bought though. Cheers!
I love your videos and am beginning to watch all of them. I noticed your Milwaukee porta-band saw. What is the round table on it? Did you make it or buy it? Do you cut much titanium with the Milwaukee band saw? thanks
nevermind, i found my answer a few videos later in this one
Portable Bandsaw for metal Fabrication - Tool Time Tuesday
hubiese estado bueno ver una prueba de corte. de que material es el mango?
Your knives are completely bad ass! Speaking to grinding the edge...couldn't one just grind to an almost sharpened edge and finish on a wicked edge, lansky, or stones? I know it would take a long time but just wondered if this method was doable.
Thanks! I'm sure it would be doable and sometimes, just working with what you've got is the best way to get something done:) Cheers!
Great video, as usual! What material are the tubes made of?
Sorry I forgot to mention that. The tubes are seamless stainless steel tubes. Cheers!
amazing work man, looks really awesome... could I purchase a Knife from you?
Thank you very much! If you're interested, you can email me at jeremy@homesteadknives.com. Most of the stuff I make are custom pieces so I rarely get a chance to put anything up on my website. Cheers!
are u going to make a sheath for it? nice tanto!
Thanks! I'm not sure what type it will be yet. I have a few people suggest making a white G-10 sheath to match the handle which might be pretty cool.
Hi, was looking around for a everyday carry in a scouts style sheath. Can I buy or find something like this from you?
love your explanation for each step. But I think the thickness is too much for me.
Thanks! Yeah, I get that about the thickness. I used to had thicker blades but for some reason in the past year they're starting to grow on me. Difference tastes make the world interesting:) Cheers!
cheers, looking forward to your take on different designs, they might be fun.
