    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.

    This is probably my favorite design for a knife ever. I’m am impressed with the utility style and blown away by the elegance of this very functional art piece. You always impress! Thank You!

    Literally had to google "why quench a knife in liquid nitrogen" and learned a whole new area of tempering i didn't even know existed.
    That's what i love about watching peoples build videos and seeing the different ways different people do things. There is always knowledge to be gained!
    Knife ended up looking sweet as f*** too. Smooth work.
    Gotta wonder though, what you gonna use it for? haha

    Jeremy, you are EVERY bit as good as ANY of the knifemakers that Ive ever seen on youtube !! And ive seen quite a few. Not to mention the quality of your videos is fantastic as well ! Awesome stuff man. I really have to sit down and watch all your videos. Dont take any down until i get a chance to watch them...lol
    Id like to get into knifemaking myself but it is an aweful expensive hobby even if you make your grinder yourself.
    Btw, that knife would have looked great without the scales.
    I liked the eff up on the checkering....im happy to know im not the only one that makes screw ups like that...

    I never seen so many different clamps until I’ve started watching your videos lol. I love that all your knives have a thick and chunky feel to them.
    Have you done any restoration videos?
    Also, I’m curious if you’ve done any give away knives (small ones, nothing crazy)? That’s something I haven’t seen on any knife making channel.
