    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 love the variety on your channel, man. The videos where you talk about every step and explain really thoroughly and the videos like this where you just let to process speak for itself. And that's just the knife content, all of your stuff is great and a pleasure to watch. I hope you keep doing what you're doing. You're a fantastic inspiration and teacher.

    Another gorgeous knife.
    From my own sailing experience, I would recommend a lanyard hole. I would really hate to lose a knife as good as that.
    Working on boats I have dropped a knife and a cell phone from the top of a mast, both bounced and disappeared into the oggin. I have also lost at different times a leatherman and a cell phone boarding from a dinghy.
    Various other tools and odds and sods have gone in the same direction and that's only the stuff I have lost.

    Another great reason to have a grinder that will run horizontally- being able to see what is coming off when grinding the palm swell has gotta be so much easier than running vertical. Awesome knife and vids man. Keep it up! 👍🏻

    Well, that approach to "vacuum forging" is definitely a lot safer and less messy than how I did it. Since I have a gas forge and no temp controlled oven, my only option was the salt bath. I quickly learned that molten salt does not like it when you suddenly introduce a cold piece of steel; it spatters all over the place. Warming up the steel first, and slowly lowering it into the salt helps though.

      1) Sandblasted the G-10 for better glue adhesion

      3) This is how this steel is hardened

    • @benclark7312
      @benclark7312 4 роки тому

      Cyl - the lack of a super pointy tip called a warren cliff or a sheep’s foot blade so when you are rocking around on a boat there’s less chance of slipping and cutting your self. As for the hole I can’t think of a need other than aesthetics. If I was making it I would of made it a slit so it could be used as a Shackle key

    Really nice looking sailing knife. But... What the heck is with that big hole in the blade??? I mean, I would certainly understand (and even EXPECT) to see a lanyard hole left at the butt of the handle on a sailor's knife, but the location of this hole puzzles me. It almost looks like it is intended to allow a marlinspike to be inserted through it... but WHY?
