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.

Most people have no idea how hard it is to make a knife like this... amazing work

@trum6071 10 ай бұрын

I mean I’ve forged knifes a couple of years an cutting out a metal piece and sanding it isn’t that hard for anyone

@SergioPena20 Ай бұрын

The steel was rectangular and flat. He scribed the shape, ground it and then heat-treated it. It might be hard if you don’t have the equipment. But like the guy before me said, not difficult.

Hey there, knive has definitely the looks, but I am asking my self about the hardness of the steel. I am still wondering you preferred the Ice heat treatment instead of the Oil based treatment, is it because it would break and because the shock and the risk is too big? Would like to understand your procedure and what is the difference between those two. Anyways it is a nice knive. Good job :)

@dmwalker24 5 жыл бұрын

He did a plate quench when pulling it out of the oven and clamping it to pull the heat out. The cryogenic hardening can improve the mechanical properties of steels with more exotic alloying elements like vanadium. The dry ice methanol bath will get down to about -70C which is sufficient but liquid nitrogen would be even better..
