Hard times come again no more

That's a great catch Tobias. Thanks for the very good history.

I learn more from your channel than I could imagine! Thank you Mr Tobias...🇺🇲

What a cool "rare as hens' teeth" find! I believe that, initially, early pre TL-29 models of the Electrician's Pocket Knife were privately purchased by soldiers during the Great War. Quite a few decades later, this practice was repeated with the multi-tool plier. In short, usually, professional soldiers know what kit they need before the desk jockeys in procurement do. Lol Oh, if you lightly rub the shield with the side lead of a pencil tip, it might display the well worn inscription?

My step-son is a Master Electrician. I'd like to find one of these because he really appreciates vintage items. Thanks for the video.

Interesting info.👍

I actually was not familiar with either knife. Thanks for changing that!

Congrats on a great score Tobias. Always fun to pick up a long sought after knife. Thanks for showing us and another short but interesting knife history lesson too. Nice addition to the collection.

Great find so happy when folks get one they have been searching for. Love your videos thanks for posting Sir .

You have to wonder where it’s been a what it’s done

If it only can talk. What stories can it tell? Was it always in a kitchen or desk drawer? Did it travel around the world or around the states? What sort of work did it perform? And who and how many owned it? I see knives like this and that's what goes through my mind.

That style of knife was often in the pocket of tradesmen of the 1960’s

How can I send you a photo of a unique knife that I have? It is a pocket sized knife with MOP scales and 24 blade slots with 12 on each side. All of the blades are tiny and very similar.

Ringo to ya!

Big fan of these little knifes. I give these out as gifts to women as an introduction to knifes.

Thanks for sharing about these historical knives, very cool! 😎👍 Happy Independence Day Tobias! 🙏 Take care my friend and Cheers!

Great video, thank you, Tobias, hope you had a great Independence Day..

I had a victorinox tinker and air force survival (ontario or such) because they were available at the px

Man I really like the Green no name knife. The Grafting knife is interesting, I have a Victorinox folding Bakers Knife That is pretty cool. I did not know Victorinox made such industry specific oddity Knives until recently. would love to get my hands on one of their grafting Knives. Really nice care package. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Very interesting. Sweet looking knives. I love the looks of that fish knife. Thank you for sharing with us. Happy 4th of July. God Bless

Love the history to the knives

Happy Independence Day Brother Great Video and God Bless America

Fantastic video! Hope you have a great 4th, buddy!

New case knives just look so cheap, and, almost, CHINA looks going on.. Not a fan of just about everything CASE from 1998 to present.. I'd buy esee, buck, ect.. Case has finally become a HAS BEEN... TOO BAD.. because I just love older case

Another awesome video your historical research on knives is always number one

Another excellent "knife chat" with the most knowledgeable Tobias, I tip my cap to you good sir! Traditionally, the Canadian military was very good at supplying their frontline personnel with quality kit items. That included edged tools and weapons. Now, that is no longer the case, some soldiers even have to privately purchase their own helmets! Oh, in my collection resides a pristine surplus Revere Supply Company U.S. Coast Guard Approved Jackknife (with can opener). I believe that my specific example was manufactured by the Utica Cutlery Company. Regardless who the actual maker was, the fit and finish is pretty much flawless!

Well done, Tobias. Thank you! God bless America.

Happy Birthday USA! Thanks for putting this together Tobias. I know that delving into military knives is it's own black hole yet you do make showing us your collection a treat of a history lesson.

Great presentation, Tobias. I hope you enjoy a happy and safe Independence Day.

Love the history of these knives. Some of these knives are as old as I am. Happy 4th

I arrived at the Fort Bliss National Cemetery to visit my only son this morning just after sunrise. I was the only one there. When I got to my unit in the 82nd during Vietnam , myself and fellow new arrivals each had one of those automatic paratroopers knives on their bunks . We were looking at them and some guy says I hope you boys last longer than those POS knives. They were total garbage and didn’t last more than a few days before they were all broken. Not sure about this but I think they were made by a company named colonial

Excellent presentation! As I have a couple of these I now have a much more appreciation of the toothpick knives! 🇺🇲

Very interesting, Tobias! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one.

Whats your thought on the Wild Turkey brand Toothpick knife's?

I got the half hawk in the bolster lock series. The red sawcut bone, finish on the bolsters/liners and single blade half hawk are excellent. My biggest complaint is on mine the blade did have just a bit of give before hitting the liner lock. Meaning I could push the blade maybe about a eighth of an inch at the tip before it would hit the lock. It’s still probably relatively safe but I treat mine for all practical purposes as a slipjoint to be safe. To be fair, I would probably buy the same exact knife if it didn’t have the lock since I really like the series other than the lock. For me, if your gonna add a lock to something that doesn’t necessarily need one, I want it to lock up tight with no wobble or play. Otherwise, I’m not going to be comfortable using it as I would a locking knife.

Interesting knives.

What a great gift, wow! I like that flipper the best but all of them are cool 👍

I’m glad you like the selection of knives I sent. 👍

Wow! That's an impressive care package. Some very nice pieces. Have a fun and safe day tomorrow!!!

Great looking knives for your channel !👍
