Who would have thought that a video on utility knives would be interesting? That was great and very enjoyable. Thanks. I think you need to open a tool museum.
I agree. If SC doesn’t donate his collection to a museum, something I’d actually pay an admission fee for entrance, I’ll be at his auction when he gets sick of housing all those spectacular old tools.
I've got 2 of the first model you show. One's painted black, and the other is red. They are my favorite utility knives of all time and get regular use.
Just watched this episode, loving the plasters 😂😂. Great channel you've got going. Currently catching up with all the older vids whilst on excersize bike. Thanks 👍
I thought I have too many (about 20), but you have enough to open your own museum. Enjoyed the whole show and saw many I have never seen before. Have a great day.
This is an absolute classic SC. I'll be watching it with my Dad tomorrow. You are a true tool guru! Thanks SC hope to see more soon. Longer the better.
Hey Scout, I was in food sales for over 30 years, Carnation, M & M / Mars, Unilever, etc....we gave our logo’d case cutters away as little gifts to the store employees when we made calls...you would have thought we were giving out gold...when they would see me coming, right after hello, “hey, you got any case cutters? “ I must have given away thousands through the years....now that would be a collection I should have started! Great Video!
Great video. I did not expect to find that as interesting as I did... which I think is what I said about your hammer video from a while ago. Am sensing a trend. Thanks for sharing your cool stuff.
@@ScoutCrafter I tore myself up with one of those knives (by accident) years ago. Looking at those gives me the heebie jeebies, especially the red ones. I just buy the banana colored ones now.
You do have a great challenge. Joe's Shop tried to get us to enter this build one we shared with him we would love to have entered and had fun doing because we had great ideas but our schedule was too full for us machining right now to meet our schedules, too bad it would have been fun, though we also would never make March 01, 2019. You have in fact quite a collection. Nice Stanley lesson on the utility knife history, we only new the tape measure their current one is really built well thick and we are happy with them. We are very impressed with your collection and more so with your excitement about these fine tools. Loving the sentimental ending of your video, your grandfather would be proud of you and your love for these tools, we can imagine indeed.
WHO KNEW? I was expecting some kind of lecture; instead, I got a wonderful history lesson that most of us don't give a second thought to. Very well-presented, ScoutCrafter! Thanks.
15 minutes of heaven in your company as you educated us all on utility knives. I must be old school as nothing seems to beat a fixed blade Stanley knife. There is a channel called Poroldchap which agrees with you in one of his videos a while back.
Hi Tony! The ergonomics of the early tools were unmatched... They whittled and carved the blank until it was perfect, then cast it! Another absolutely perfect invention was the Colt revolver... Once you hold one in your hand you are amazed at how it melts into your grip... The Glock is the opposite! LOL Thanks!!!!!
The vintage Stanley 10-499, with the metal blade release pin is my favorite utility knife. I keep one in my back pocket and use it every day in my business. The newer 10-499 has a yellow plastic blade release button and the knife is noticeably thicker. I don't like the thicker body. It's hard to find the slimmer 10-499 with the metal blade release pin. They rarely come up on Ebay. :-( Nice collection you have there ScoutCrafter!
I couldn’t agree more. I also keep an old 10-499 in my back pocket and use it in my business. When they show up on EBay the blade release pin is usually missing.
Wow!! what a Cool collection of Utility Knives and great info as well....i need to catch up with your videos...I went on a social media break for a few weeks...and now I get to do a "Scout Crafter Binge" :] :]
This answers all my questions about the history of the utility knife. Thank you. I favor the Stanley 199 for cutting and I have Walboard brand knife in red that I use exclusively for marking. I really appreciate the time you took to do this survey.
Wow. There is such a big world of utility knives, never knew it. In my country all we hv is the snap knife used in offices. For all others people use broken hacksaw blades, with rag wrapped around, to serve as handle. Quite enlightening for me. Thank x.
@@ScoutCrafter believe me, the result wud seem similar to some simple ones u hv shown. Even my mother prefers HSS blades as kitchen knife. Though I put a nice wood handle for comfort & safety.
This was a good one. I had not seen many that you've shared here, so pretty neat. It's funny how one easily develops a bunch of these though. I swear I've got a few handfuls myself. ...just seems that every time you need one you can't find it. ...and then they show up from every corner after you picked up another. Ha! Thanks for sharing!
When I worked at Home Depot, they provided us with a spring loaded retractable blade utility knife. You had to keep your thumb on the slide mechanism otherwise the blade would retract - for safety. Also, the blade only extended enough to cut through the outer cardboard of a case. This way you couldn't cut the inner merchandise. It was very clever.
I carry a Husky folding lockback utility knife at work. Super light weight, carries like a pocket knife, easy to change blades and has a a lifetime warranty. It's been a great little knife for me.
Hi Schmidty! I didn't cover any folders because they make more styles of folders then regular ones! I have a bunch but my everyday carry is the Gerber EAB. Thanks!!!!!!!!
@@ScoutCrafter Yeah there are a ton of different folders out there. I used to carry a regular pocket knife, but got sick of sharpening. Plus my work provides blades.
I have one of the older Stanley 299’s made out of aluminum with the holes in the handle. I have two favorite to use utility knives and you have one there. The Stanley 10-122 with the yellow plastic sheath is my favorite to carry when I can. I also have a folding craftsman ‘pocket knife’ one that I carried for years and years just so I wouldn’t have to sharpen it. Loved using both of those knives and they both have specific jobs they work best for. Nice collection you have there!
Hello HKF! I didn't include folders because there are so many of them! Hundreds of different models! My everyday carry is a Gerber EAB.... Awesome design! Thanks!!!!
So many designs for one basic idea.I have seen a few that folded out like a pocket knife, but used the standard utility blade .A nice history on such a basic tool. Good video ScoutCrafter..
Hi Lou! I have a bunch of folding utility knives but didn't include them because they are a separate category! LOL The fixed blade simple KISS knife is my favorite!!!! =)
LOL Kind of an inside joke... Whenever you "play" with knives you will get cut... No getting around it! =) Hopefully it's only a scratch but it happens! LOL Thanks William!!!!!!!!!!
That's a great collection of utility knives!!! Very interesting to see all the different styles and gimmicks!! I only have 3 types, box cutters, Stanley 299 and Stanley retractable. Amazing that after 22+ years I still have the metal blade guard for the 299. Thanks for sharing ScoutCrafter, that made my day!!
A little late but this is one of my favorite videos! I do a lot of box cutting at work. Years ago I got one of those green S4 box cutters when I worked at a grocery store for a year. They never wanted it back so I never returned it and left it with my parents and moved out. Then after a move from the north to the south and many jobs later I saw they still had it and took it when I started my current job. Well it was a great knife and I loved the box split but eventually the blade release on the bottom broke off and then the button to push the blade forward finally snapped off. I used an Easy Cut 2000 at Walmart and it was a pretty good knife and used a Stanley 99E (a newer one) and it is OK but the fact you need a screwdriver (and I don't have one at work, and it's not practical to bring one) so I bought the Dewalt Knife in the video and some Lennox Gold Blades and I'll be set for a long time. Complete overkill but it's a lot smoother to push the blade forward, fits better in the hand and has some heft.
You obviously have experience with these! More than I do! I always liked the Lenox fit and finish! These are great tools and it was s fun challenge! Thanks!!!!!!!!!
Worked at an old time grocery store and we used that box knife's (:27) handle as a scraper. The blade could be taken out and slipped into the back of the handle. Very handy around the house now.
great video scout crafter what a collection of those the nicest ones are the cast iron ones i still miss the one i had. The Canadian stanley tools were made near here in Smiths Falls Ontario. The best and safest one is the craftsman you said was your first one i have one like that and used it hard for years it seems silly that people were so worried about getting new blades out of the handle. The screw was made to fit a coin. Those contraptions just made the knife's more breakable.
What a great presentation of utility knives you got! It's going to be fun restoring some of those! I need to send you checkering tools and checkering files (checkering front trigger guards, hammers, etc.) I thought of that when you files new lines in a set up pliers. The checkering tools are made for wood but may work on soft metals like aluminum if those older Stanley tools has dull diamonds. They sell them at Brownells - Checkering files. Great video. I liked the big red one and of course the ol' Stanley.
Loved the amount of plasters adding up further into the video 😄 and that Irwin you show that are we off is a beauty i have the first carpet stanley with the sheath and have another I may send you thats supper form fitting with deep finger grooves I nrex to get paid and find it but man what an awesome collection wow a+
Great video SC! back in the 80s, when a lot of Hong Kong tools were being imported into the UK, I once saw a guy snap a cheapo blade and it pinged past his face about 1/4" from his eye lol. I'll never forget that 'pinging ' noise as it launched .
Hello Green Man! I knew a guy who hung paper signs on subways and he swore by those snap knives, I never used them too much... The people who use them really like them.. They are a bit weak for me.
@@ScoutCrafter so, are you going to show us the utility knife with the band-aid dispenser in the handle lol... you'll have to cut a mini-bandaid for the tiny hand pointer maybe lol... best regards GM
5 років тому
You have missed a type out, the automatic feeder ones. You press a button to remove the blade then slide the slider back and then when you push it forward a new blade comes out. Looking forward to the knife being renovated.
Hi Tony! Yes! I don't have any of those as I stopped "collecting" a few years ago! LOL I also didn't include folders because I have a bunch and there are just way too many variations of those! Thanks so much!!!!!!
Yikes! I never realized there were so many variations. Gonna be looking for that Irwin @ 8:30. Seems to be the best balance between convenience and simplicity.
Impressive collection! Thanks for making my day with the band-aid gag. Your video brings up a couple points for me... how we should all safely dispose of old blades, and how the blades are mirrored in shape, but I never seem to get to use both sides of the blade! Use one side, flip it around in the knife, and the unused side always seems dull. Maybe it's all in my wrist.
Awesome video! I love the collection of utility blades. Some unique designs and mechanisms. I just bought a Chaves CHUB utility blade knife made of titanium. A bit pricy but nice looking :D
Over the past year I have been using a Stanley model 10-049 folding utility knife thats got a whole different take on it. Its lightweight and slim, but ergonomic and a lot longer blade. I think you might like that model.
Hi Joe! Yes! I have a couple of those! I didn't include any folding utility knives because there are even more models then standard ones!!! I have a "few" lol My every day carry is the Gerber EAB knife... Carry it everyday! =) Thanks!!!!!!!
9:37 Wow! I loved that big silver Stanley one with the brass wheel, until you showed the problem, but I'd probably pick it up if I saw one just for the look! Also like the other one with the brass thumb screw. I remember seeing these at the store a few years ago, never really thought to pick one up, but now I want one soooo bad!! I'm gonna be keeping my eyes open for utility knifes from now! Do you know the model numbers of the two Stanleys with the brass thumb screws? I also liked the Banana knife and the Hyde at 11:37 is gorgeous!
Hello LR! Amazon had both Stanleys I'm not sure of the model number because it has been a while, You're right about the Hyde being heavy duty! The Banana knife is the only one I ever saw! Pretty cool! Thanks LR!!!!!!!!!
Looked around for utility knives Saturday. Did not find a single Stanley at any of the big box stores or flea markets. Did pick up a Steward fixed blade at a flea market. Cast metal, pewter, zinc, too light for aluminum
I saw a cool Made In USA Craftsman at lowes. Def need to check all the New Made In USA craftsman stuff at Lowes. They also have the video on lowes showing how the boxes are made
Great selection of knives and best of luck to all entrants in the challenge too. Is it me or did the number of sticking plasters on SC's fingers seem to increase as the video went along?
the 10-819 despite always having a little bit of movement is probably my favourite, it just feels great in hand. Delphins are great too, I still have a 199 and a few others but normally the first one I'll reach for is that 10-819. I might modify one to take out that wobble then it would be perfect.
Looks like you grew a bandage between the 70's and 80's knives. which one got ya? ;) Still looking for one of those cast iron ones with the 3 rows of holes. I've never seen one outside your videos. Did find a nice perfect handle screwdriver at a flea market today. Thanks for the video. Great collection!.. modest indeed lol.
Hi scout ,thanks for the show and tell, never knew there were so many types, looks like a few of em bit back lol. Here's another saying for ya ( if you play whith the bull long enough you end up whith the horn up your asse ) ha, ha, Seriously though, very interesting as always. Kind regards .Stuart.
Framing houses in the 1970s we always used the head of a 16d nail as a screwdriver to open the handle and get a blade.
History, one of my most favorite subjects.
Who would have thought that a video on utility knives would be interesting? That was great and very enjoyable. Thanks. I think you need to open a tool museum.
Thanks very much Tony!
I agree. If SC doesn’t donate his collection to a museum, something I’d actually pay an admission fee for entrance, I’ll be at his auction when he gets sick of housing all those spectacular old tools.
WHo would have thought?! SO many types, so many designs! Such a cool education - thanks Scout!
Thanks so much Lee!!!!!
The Band-aids were a great touch !!!!
I've got 2 of the first model you show. One's painted black, and the other is red. They are my favorite utility knives of all time and get regular use.
Just watched this episode, loving the plasters 😂😂. Great channel you've got going. Currently catching up with all the older vids whilst on excersize bike.

A good entertaining and informative video. You have the biggest collection of utility blades of any one .
I thought I have too many (about 20), but you have enough to open your own museum. Enjoyed the whole show and saw many I have never seen before. Have a great day.
And I don't even collect utility knives! LOL Thanks Michael!!!!!!!!
This is an absolute classic SC. I'll be watching it with my Dad tomorrow. You are a true tool guru! Thanks SC hope to see more soon. Longer the better.

johnmclaurin Those box cutters are awesome! Really work well and a great design! Thanks!!!
Anything free like that I'm a sucker for! I may have to cruise eBay for one of those! LOL.
Imagine that..! How interesting the history of utility knives..!! Excellent video.
I love the ode's you give to your great grandpa - it's nice you have some of his things to give you that connection to the past. Thanks for sharing.
Hi John! You're so right, to me the real value of something is the sentimental value! Thanks!!!!!
You can never have too many knives..great video great selection of knives
Hello Abe! And clamps! LOL I can go on...
At 7:40, a bandaid mysteriously appears. Looks like you took one for the team. Thanks, Scoutcrafter!
funnier if in each scene hed add one and end up with all fingers wrapped up and not mention it
You’re killing me with the bandaids! Love it! You made my day!
LOL Thanks so much!
Lol...the band aids 🤣🤣🤣. Great collection! Thanks for sharing. Cheers
Hey Joe!!!! LOL You know when you play with knives.... =) Thanks!!!!!
Great video. I did not expect to find that as interesting as I did... which I think is what I said about your hammer video from a while ago. Am sensing a trend.
Thanks for sharing your cool stuff.
Those bandaids came in handy for that episode.
Gael Yonnet LOL. I ran out! 😂
If that video ran any longer you would have needed a blood transfusion! Hope those fingers heal up soon! LOL
LOL- It's funny how many people missed that little joke!!! You are sharp!!!! =D
@@ScoutCrafter I tore myself up with one of those knives (by accident) years ago. Looking at those gives me the heebie jeebies, especially the red ones. I just buy the banana colored ones now.
I saw that to,but I didn't think it was a joke.lol
Great video.
I didn't think it was a joke either, at first, but then there were more bandaids, and more and more ;p . I'm not nearly as sharp as those knives.

Hi Atom! There's still time! It's only a one day "build" just strip the new paint off the 199 and make it your own! LOL Thanks so much!!!!!!!
I still have a couple of box cutters from when I worked in a grocery store 40 years ago.
They are unmatched for cutting boxes... Great design!!!!
Me too at the A&P. Wish I still had them.
WHO KNEW? I was expecting some kind of lecture; instead, I got a wonderful history lesson that most of us don't give a second thought to. Very well-presented, ScoutCrafter! Thanks.
Thanks so much Dave! It was a little long but there are so many Utility Knives available that we don't even realize!

Is there a way to get in touch with you? I have wanted to send youba thank you letter for some time.
Great video! I love that you gave such a thorough study of these humble tools we all use regularly.
When I worked at Home Depot, they provided us with a spring loaded retractable blade utility knife. You had to keep your thumb on the slide mechanism otherwise the blade would retract - for safety. Also, the blade only extended enough to cut through the outer cardboard of a case. This way you couldn't cut the inner merchandise. It was very clever.
I've seen those! They are clever!!!!!
Great history lesson. Thanks.
It's amazing how many variations there are of such a simple tool!!!!!! Thanks C!!!!!!!

LOL I hope the 199 will be the new favorite! Thanks!!!!!
Love video and your collection, my current favorite is Milwaukee fastback
Larry VanSullen I love my Folding Milwaukee! Great knives! 😃👍
Thank you.. For the Information..
Thanks so much!!!!!!
Impressive collection! Thanks for making my day with the band-aid gag. Your video brings up a couple points for me... how we should all safely dispose of old blades, and how the blades are mirrored in shape, but I never seem to get to use both sides of the blade! Use one side, flip it around in the knife, and the unused side always seems dull. Maybe it's all in my wrist.
Nate Otto LOL- you’re better then me I always have the dull side out! 😃👍
That was fun and interesting .
Awesome video! I love the collection of utility blades. Some unique designs and mechanisms. I just bought a Chaves CHUB utility blade knife made of titanium. A bit pricy but nice looking :D
Seeing the snap-off blade reminded me - they now make a snap-off pencil. Have you seen one?
Hi Bill- Yes! I never seen one in action though! =D
Wow so many knives
I didn't include the folders because I think they made more folding designs then regular! Thanks!!!
Over the past year I have been using a Stanley model 10-049 folding utility knife thats got a whole different take on it. Its lightweight and slim, but ergonomic and a lot longer blade. I think you might like that model.
Hi Joe! Yes! I have a couple of those! I didn't include any folding utility knives because there are even more models then standard ones!!! I have a "few" lol My every day carry is the Gerber EAB knife... Carry it everyday! =) Thanks!!!!!!!
9:37 Wow! I loved that big silver Stanley one with the brass wheel, until you showed the problem, but I'd probably pick it up if I saw one just for the look! Also like the other one with the brass thumb screw. I remember seeing these at the store a few years ago, never really thought to pick one up, but now I want one soooo bad!! I'm gonna be keeping my eyes open for utility knifes from now! Do you know the model numbers of the two Stanleys with the brass thumb screws? I also liked the Banana knife and the Hyde at 11:37 is gorgeous!
Hello LR! Amazon had both Stanleys I'm not sure of the model number because it has been a while, You're right about the Hyde being heavy duty! The Banana knife is the only one I ever saw! Pretty cool! Thanks LR!!!!!!!!!
Looked around for utility knives Saturday. Did not find a single Stanley at any of the big box stores or flea markets. Did pick up a Steward fixed blade at a flea market. Cast metal, pewter, zinc, too light for aluminum
Hi Bobby! I heard Lowe's has them! Thanks!!!!!
@@ScoutCrafter not the one I checked, they had a carpet knife by Stanley and a bunch of other brands of utility knives but none by Stanley.
I saw a cool Made In USA Craftsman at lowes. Def need to check all the New Made In USA craftsman stuff at Lowes. They also have the video on lowes showing how the boxes are made
I'm glad to see companies coming back and people looking for better quality products! Thanks!!!!!
ScoutCrafter Ah man! Im glad you watch the video on lowes. These boxes are made in the USA buy the tool truck boxes
cool collection. I learned a lot. Also I see that by the end of the vid you gained a couple band-aids 😆
Amazing how nowadays old craftsmanship tools have become works of art themselves
Nice like the information on how it development through the yrs happy days 👍👍👍👍👍
Great selection of knives and best of luck to all entrants in the challenge too. Is it me or did the number of sticking plasters on SC's fingers seem to increase as the video went along?
LOL Pete! You got it! Some people didn't even get the joke! =)
It took me till the end to notice all the bandaids!! Great video where do you find all these unique tools
Hi JK, Whenever I see one at a flea market or steam show I grab it... I'm full up now! LOL Thanks!!!!!
Haha loving the bandaid gag.
Hello Andrew! LOL I was laughing in between takes hoping that someone would get the joke! =D Thanks!
And nows there's me I brought the first dual blade to the flooring industry.
the 10-819 despite always having a little bit of movement is probably my favourite, it just feels great in hand. Delphins are great too, I still have a 199 and a few others but normally the first one I'll reach for is that 10-819. I might modify one to take out that wobble then it would be perfect.
Looks like you grew a bandage between the 70's and 80's knives. which one got ya? ;) Still looking for one of those cast iron ones with the 3 rows of holes. I've never seen one outside your videos. Did find a nice perfect handle screwdriver at a flea market today. Thanks for the video. Great collection!.. modest indeed lol.
The real old Stanley's are hard to find because they are usually snatched up.. I just like the cast iron feel! Thanks!!!!!!
awesome
Hi scout ,thanks for the show and tell, never knew there were so many types, looks like a few of em bit back lol. Here's another saying for ya ( if you play whith the bull long enough you end up whith the horn up your asse ) ha, ha, Seriously though, very interesting as always. Kind regards .Stuart.
LOL You are so right! Thanks Stuart!
