I've used my Stanley 10-049 Pocketknife mercilessly over the years in fire making videos to scrape ferro rods, make feathers, scrape fatwood, cut metal cans for Hobo Stoves and grease lamps, bore holes through branches and Bic lighters and leather, top board fire rolls, cut 3/4" saplings, etc. There are also many off camera uses that are just as amazing cleaning squirrel and fish, steak knife, peeler, cutting miles of cardboard and plastic pipe and copper wire, etc. I first started carrying this pocketknife 20 years ago because it was so flat and didn't make a big bulge in my back pocket. The knife and replacement blades were sold at ACE Hardware for $10 and $4 respectively. Nowadays, you have to buy them on Amazon $12 for the knife and about $20 for a 10 pack of blades. Ever since I showed that a utility knife blade could be used for the steel in the Flint And Steel technique (see LINK below), I've wanted to see if this little stainless steel blade would work also. We'll give it a try. I also show you how I like to sharpen the blade and the spine and how well the spine scrapes a ferro rod to ignite Pine Needles. Please follow the LINKS below and SUBSCRIBE.

David you really are the fire guru thank you for the knowledge mate when I'm practicing fire making and I can't quite get it right I just revert back to one of your videos thank you and God bless 👍
Man, David, a UA-cam video about a 50 cent flea market purchase . . . and I'm watching it and enjoying it! Only because it's you and you've amazed me so many times before with your knowledge of fire.
you would not BELIEVE how hard it is to find this little knife in Alberta Canada. Finally ordered one online, no amazon did not have it, excited to put it to the test.
that is a kickass little knife, i have had mine since 2002 and replaced the blade once, i sharpened the first one to nothing i used it and used it and still use it but now i use it to sharpen my pencil on the job
The first time I saw one of your videos several years ago, you mentioned how much you liked that knife and I noticed that you used it in all your videos I saw after that. Working as a carpenter for the last 50 years, I have used various Stanley bladed products pretty much daily throughout my career, but I had never seen that model. Wanting to check it out, I ordered one from Amazon for $14 and change if I remember correctly. After playing with it for about a week I figured I better buy another for backup, as I would surely wear it out because of how much I was using it every day. So I go back to Amazon and BINGO!!, they're on sale for $9. I bought 6 more. Now I keep one in my truck, car, backpack, first aid kit, fire kit, and that leaves one set aside just in case. The original is still going strong after almost 2 yrs of daily use. Just a great little knife, and thank you David for bringing it to my attention and for all the great videos. I'll....see ya on the next one! 😁
I bought it for woodworking, but it's so handy that I carry it all the time. It's sharp and feather-light, and it locks securely. And you can sharpen the blade or just replace it.
Thank you for the blessing brother. May... The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
Oh happy day to you my dear friend. You always amazed me with what you come up with. To make fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. thank you for sharing another awesome video stay safe and warm and burn on
@@DavidWestBgood2ppl yes i'm not brave enough to baton with it BUT i think you show its capabilities very well! Takes a Lickin and keeps on tickin! Love mine!!
Yes, brand new they have that looseness and many times a gap between the scales. Heavy use will make both more pronounced, but the knife just keeps on safely working. When you talk about fit and finish, the powder coat finish is excellent while the fit is not really all that.
Hi David! Thanks for sharing what youve learned and for all the cool videos! I was curious if you have experimented with fire pistons at all. If so any chance you would consider sharing your insights? What a great channel!! Rick
Hi David ☺, that little knife is amazing , thanks for letting us see inside how the blades set up, question, is there space for a spare blade like the regular utility knives?, I admire your concentration using that blade to strike a spark, it had me cringing, interesting as it was I'll not atemp that,lol. Thanks for the video, it's always interesting, stay safe mate, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart.uk.
I knew the little Stanley pocket knife has stainless blades but never seen any razor style utility blades that were stainless been looking for some for a while would like to know where you get them enjoy your videos and thanks
You know your stainless steel, and are exactly right, at my work we make products out of 302 which is non magnetic and 430 which is magnetic. Hope you didn’t singe your mustache, lol,
You may have Quartz laying around all over the place like here. You may find flint or chert in streams or at RR tracks. I buy my chert from rocksandvines on ETSY

Fun for me enjoyable for you... Let's continue.

I've heard that before. You won't wear that knife out. You'll lose it first. LOL! I've probably lost 4 or 5 in 20 years.
that is a kickass little knife, i have had mine since 2002 and replaced the blade once, i sharpened the first one to nothing i used it and used it and still use it but now i use it to sharpen my pencil on the job
I've carried mine for 20 years... use it all the time.

I am amazed at their durability too.
Always nice to see you have put another video on here !! Take care and stay safe my friend!!
Thanks Troy! I appreciate it.
Great insight into how to start a fire 🔥
I bought it for woodworking, but it's so handy that I carry it all the time. It's sharp and feather-light, and it locks securely. And you can sharpen the blade or just replace it.
You wouldn't believe all I've put it through over the years and it takes it well. I love'm!
Love your videos David keep them coming. Adam from 🇬🇧
Jesus Bless You dear Brother David, thank you for all the videos you make for us. 🕊
Thank you for the blessing brother. May...
The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

Ali Ali ALI!!!
Now that I know you are shooting these from a phone I am even more impressed at the quality. All i get on mine is a lot of wind noise
LOL! My audio has always been a problem even when I tried mics with the phone. I just use the phone only now with mostly decent results.
Cool lil knife!
ok David watching this! i feel better now hahaha. Love mine and wouldn't have known about it if it wasn't for your awesome channel
Tough, sharp, bulgeless, inexpensive EDC!
@@DavidWestBgood2ppl man when I saw you baton with it it blew my mind how much of a beating it took
It won't take much without breaking though.
@@DavidWestBgood2ppl yes i'm not brave enough to baton with it BUT i think you show its capabilities very well! Takes a Lickin and keeps on tickin! Love mine!!
Hi David. Always love your videos! A pleasure to watch. Does yours have blade play side to side? Mine does.
Yes, brand new they have that looseness and many times a gap between the scales. Heavy use will make both more pronounced, but the knife just keeps on safely working. When you talk about fit and finish, the powder coat finish is excellent while the fit is not really all that.

I've never been interested in them.
Hi Mr.David how many of these knives do u have or is this the only one
I've probably had 10 in my lifetime. I have 1 extra currently. I've only worn out 2 and lost the rest.
Hi David ☺, that little knife is amazing , thanks for letting us see inside how the blades set up, question, is there space for a spare blade like the regular utility knives?, I admire your concentration using that blade to strike a spark, it had me cringing, interesting as it was I'll not atemp that,lol.

No storage space for extra blades. Thanks friend!
I knew the little Stanley pocket knife has stainless blades but never seen any razor style utility blades that were stainless been looking for some for a while would like to know where you get them enjoy your videos and thanks
This is the SS Irwin blade that I was using in the video. www.lowes.com/pd/IRWIN-Stainless-Steel-3-4-in-Utility-Replacement-Blade-5-Pack/1000235583
Thank you I will look for some
That's a good little pocket knife, they still make them?
Answered my own question by reading your description 🤪
Scariest movie ever seen since the shower scene in Hitchcock movie Psycho. Was waiting the moment would come those fingers were cut off by that blade
LOL!
You know your stainless steel, and are exactly right, at my work we make products out of 302 which is non magnetic and 430 which is magnetic. Hope you didn’t singe your mustache, lol,
We used a lot of 316L filler rods for tig welding SS pipe.
Does Stanley have replacement blades for sale?
Amazon. I get the 10 pack for $40... I think $40.
like a pro
Thank you!
I did hand drill but how can i find flint
You may have Quartz laying around all over the place like here. You may find flint or chert in streams or at RR tracks. I buy my chert from rocksandvines on ETSY
At my local flea market they’d want 5 dollars over retail
😲😲🙈
