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.

The knife is amazing, but I could watch this a dozen times just to admire your shop and tool setup!

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

Now that is cool as hell! Great video too. I know knife makers are hesitant to share "1 video knife builds" because of the greater risk of someone stealing your content... Which is sad and makes me appreciate it even more when you do share. I don't care what "knife experts" say about OVERBUILT knives, they are "cool as hell" and this is no exception! Given enough time, I have no doubt you could baton through a telephone pole with that beast.
