A brief History of Utility Knives

[@gcurrinder]

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.

[@tonylenge424]

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.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Thanks very much Tony!

[@HardKnocksForge]

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.

[@ron.v]

History, one of my most favorite subjects.

[@billlink7116]

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.

[@ScoutCrafter]

I've seen those! They are clever!!!!!

[@herrickkimball]

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!

[@herrickkimball]

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.

[@schmidtythekidd]

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.

[@ScoutCrafter]

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!!!!!!!!

[@schmidtythekidd]

@@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.

Those bandaids came in handy for that episode.

[@markeholbrook]

@@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.

[@anthonypirrello2473]

I saw that to,but I didn't think it was a joke.lol Great video.

[@poorcousinsdiy5672]

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.

[@electrabob]

I still have a couple of box cutters from when I worked in a grocery store 40 years ago.

[@ScoutCrafter]

They are unmatched for cutting boxes... Great design!!!!

[@tonylenge424]

Me too at the A&P. Wish I still had them.

[@richardvirchow3390]

Imagine that..! How interesting the history of utility knives..!! Excellent video.

[@grounded-b937]

The Band-aids were a great touch !!!!

[@bfisch3682]

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.

[@ScoutCrafter]

I absolutely LOVE box cutters!!!! One of the ten best tools ever made! Thanks!!!!!!!

[@user-wg6hu3hh6b]

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 👍

[@santanusinha7086]

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]

Hello SS! LOL Hacksaw blade with tape? That's a Shank! LOL They are great but dangerous! =D

[@santanusinha7086]

@@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.

[@mardeeda]

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.

LOL Thanks! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

[@RGOR-ne6vq]

Is there a way to get in touch with you? I have wanted to send youba thank you letter for some time.

[@ActiveAtom]

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.

[@ScoutCrafter]

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!!!!!!!

[@thebarbacoaboyz5419]

Awesome collection! I’ve been trying to get my hands on a STANLEY 150TH ANNIVERSARY 199 BRASS UTILITY KNIFE for my collection. No luck yet

[@robertreid7221]

One of my deepest cuts ever, in my career as a gas fitter was from an unshielded Stanley knife. It needed two layers of plumbers PTFE tape and electrical tape on top it wasn't a proper cut unless you could see the bone !

[@danielgrenier3288]

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!

[@ScoutCrafter]

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.

[@ScoutCrafter]

And I don't even collect utility knives! LOL Thanks Michael!!!!!!!!

[@HardKnocksForge]

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!

[@ScoutCrafter]

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.

[@ScoutCrafter]

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!!!!!

[@TheLoxxxton]

As soon as you said "a modest collection" I knew we were in for a treat!! Gotta love it😀👍

[@ScoutCrafter]

I don't even collect utility knives!!!!! LOL

[@davidspinney2664]

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.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hi David! I agree 100% Whistles and Bells are just that... 100 years from now they will all be broken except for the originals! LOL Thanks!!!!!!

[@johnmclaurin]

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!

[@ScoutCrafter]

[@AaronBelknap]

Anything free like that I'm a sucker for! I may have to cruise eBay for one of those! LOL.

[@pete1729]

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.

[@michaelpugh4894]

Never thought of collecting those. Now I will be looking for the ones with the holes in the handle. Great display and discussion.

Thats got to be the coolest history lesson ever, thanks for sharing.👍 👍 👍.

[@ScoutCrafter]

LOL I was bleeding out! LOL Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!

[@airbikecop]

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.

[@ScoutCrafter]

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!!!!!!!!!

[@lwoodt1]

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..

[@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!!!! =)

[@tango-bravo]

Great collection!

[@PDX53]

My favorites are the Hyde because of it's form and function but for aesthetics the red anodized Craftsman is king. I live in Oregon where switchblades & stilettos ("automatic knives") are legal & names such as Gerber, Kershaw, Benchmade ($$$!) and others are manufactured. I carry a cheap Kalashnikov switchblade that is duller than a dog turd & I'm terrible at sharpening things. It's good for stabbing the plastic air bags that Amazon uses but that's about it.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hi AL! Let me tell you one thing... If you don't keep the maniac politicians that ruined California out of your state you too will be banned from carrying a knife of any kind... Trust me! NYC I know! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

[@ScoutCrafter]

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!!!!!!

[@Backwoods-Bob]

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

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hi Bobby! I heard Lowe's has them! Thanks!!!!!

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!!

Hi Steve! That's all you need! A 299 with the blade guard! Sweet! Believe it or not I don't collect utility knives! =) Thanks!!!!!!!

[@drstrangefart]

My Stanley 199 showed up yesterday. It's a 199B. Amazon didn't list which one it was. That being said I have my idea picked out and I'm gonna try to make some magic with it. Also, the folding lockback utility knives are one of the greatest things ever invented.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Allan! I am really looking forward to seeing the difference in the "B" model!!! Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You were dead right, the casting on it is terrible. Huge gaps and areas the aluminum just didn't flow into at the seam. That's not gonna affect my plans though.

I had that squeeze knife for a very long time till it was stolen. I remember when blades went bad you squeeze out, let it locked out, push yellow button take off old blade. Un squeeze it, Let it go back and squeeze it again and the new blade would automatically be replaced.

You forgot the best part about utility knives is when the blade gets dull you just flip it. I am cheap so I do this about five times before I get a new blade. I also noticed quite a few Band-Aids by the end there, hope that dry humor.

the 10-819 despite always having a little bit of movement is probably my favourite, it just feels great in hand.

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.

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!

Wow, a ton of those utility knives. Even though they are one-sided, I gather they can be flipped end-over-end before having to replace the entire blade, at least those trapezoid blades. - Kathie

Hi Kathie, Yes, you get two "uses" out of each blade and the average knife holds 5 spare blades so that's 12 fresh blades available. To be honest that is a lot of fresh blades!!!! Most people don't change blades enough and are always struggling. =) Myself included! LOL Thanks!!!!!!!
