Camillus Pearl Harbor Jack, USCG Q5 Jack, and S702 Coast Guard Jack

Very informative. I really like that you differentiate between what you know and what might be speculative. I don’t think anyone who dislikes your style has much of an appreciation of a knowledgeable man or of the effort you put into your presentations. Please keep it up.

Thanks Tobias for highlighting the Taney. I’ve had the privilege of visiting her a number of times in Baltimore Harbor during my sailing days. It’s a cool story and knife.

Wonderful history lesson! Cheers, buddy!

Rigging/Nautical knives are the most underrated slipjoint pattern, in my opinion. There is so much great history and utility involved in these knives. Thanks for the video Tobias!

[@KnifeChatswithTobias]

The more I read about these knives, the more fascinating they becomes. It seems like when it comes to the military, the Navies of both Britain and the US were the first branches of services to adopt standard patterns of pocket knives, possibly even fixed blades.

Cool knives love the sheep / ram blade. Great history. I have a Camillus Marlin spike that I carry every day to work. It works well for loosening knots in ropes. But that’s what it was made for. Thanks for sharing.

Great knives, great provenance, great storytelling. Thanks Tobias

I used live in Baltimore, worked there for over 25 years as a Baltimore City Police Officer. I used to be part of the Maryland militia in the early 90's and we conducted tactical training on that ship. I did not know that coast guard cutter was that old. If I had been on that ship as a tourist, maybe I would have learned from the tour guide. :-) Thanks again for the history lesson.

Enjoyed the history of this knife design. I never realized that the Coast Guard did so much overseas during WWII. Thanks for sharing and have a great blessed day.

Eddie Albert, (yes, of Green Acres fame) was awarded a bronze star with a combat V for his actions during the fighting on Tarawa in the Pacific. He was credited with saving the lives of dozens of Marines who were stranded off shore under heavy Japanese machine gun fire. I believe the original Joker, Caeser Romero was also a Coast Guard veteran, as was Tom Selleck. As for those crazy folks who jump out of helicopters into heavy surf, or plow through thirty foot waves in small boats to go save the unlucky and the ill-advised alike, they have a special place in the hearts of all those who have ever gone to sea.

great run down! thank you!

[@KnifeChatswithTobias]

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. There's a lot of misconceptions about the so-called "Coast Guard Knife." But at the end of the day, its nice that the knife is now attached to the forgotten branch of war time service.

[@The-Armed-Pacifist]

Quite a workhorse of a knife and beautiful in its simplicity.

Great topic Tobias. To me it seems the USCG is overlooked in many ways including knife collections. Something for me to think about perhaps. It did bring back a memory of an grade school friend and fellow Cub Scout who showed me his Official CS knife (as a 9yo it was the first one I had ever seen) that I then dreamed of having. lol He went to the USCG Academy and when last I heard of him in the mid-70's he was already a Lt. Commander, cool guy. Thanks for an excellent history too.

Cool knife 🇺🇸 🇳🇿

[@jeffjackson5331]

Very interesting

[@alexishatjialexiou7509]

Judging by your views, we love your rambles Tobias. Great video and knives

[@propblast82nd]

Cool video 🇺🇸

[@KnifeChatswithTobias]

Thanks

[@alexishatjialexiou7509]

I'd like to see you do something live with Mike from Rasputin's Castle. The history is rich with your channels. I bet most of the knife community comes here when they need a history lesson on knives. Thanks again Tobias

[@RuleNumber9EDC]

Wonderful little history with that knife. Thanks for sharing.

[@KnifeChatswithTobias]

Glad you enjoyed it. The more I find out about this funky little knife, the more I like it.

[@alanwilliamson9350]

I picked up an old timer knife with that same blade not to long ago, it's a beefy blade with the strongest back spring I've owned on a knife. I wondered what it designed for and you just explained it. Thank you for the info!

[@KnifeChatswithTobias]

Cool. It's a great knife for the collection and also for use in the garden or on a boat.

[@gregwillis7767]

Happy New Year Tobias!

[@gregwillis7767]

I had to think of something to say, because I couldn't locate my "rope knife"! I've been collecting since childhood and I'm 65 now, but other than tool rolls and boxes, I can't locate them all. Do you have a dedicated "knife room"? I'm quite envious if you do!!

[@NGMountains]

That Q5 signified the 5th Quartermaster Detachment.

[@KnifeChatswithTobias]

Thanks for the tip. Can you lead me to the source of the information?

[@howardkayecrabyman]

I have the one with camillus stainless steel and usa on the tang, my can opener is blank. I need a back spring for the main blade 😮do you or any viewer know where I can get one. God bless America 🇺🇸 🙏

[@BladesRKing]

USCG involved in more things than most people know. They were in Iraq, Umm Qasr is one place. Ask me how I know. 1990-2020 USCG veteran.

[@KnifeChatswithTobias]

The USCG is always on duty performing the jobs it rains for. In Times of war, they take on additional duties Semper Paratus. Thank you for your service!
