  1. I have almost that same knife, just got ot yesterday, and came across this vidio by chance, what a coinsedance

  2. I carry a Kershaw Iridium nowadays
    My dad still carries an old timer

    There are significantly better knives then those old old-timers, but if you like it, keep chugging

    Beats a nasty Gerber paraframe every day of the week!

  3. I use my Victorinox pocket knife as a marking knife all the time. When you angle it a bit, one of the bevels becomes vertical, so there is no problem with that.

  4. This video overwhelms my heart and soul with joy. My papa had a few of these, and I’m glad I can pass it down yet again, as he did to me. The man who casually forgot more than I could ever know, Papa Jerry would love these videos.

  5. Case brand knives are some of the best slip joint knives you can buy, they have so many different sizes and options i think everyone should have at least one

  6. I have to give a shout out to opinel. They’re cheap enough that I have three, so i’m never without one. Open boxes, marking, cutting food while at work, finishing a saw cut when you don’t have a plane near you. And they lock both open and closed. Just dab some mineral oil in the hinge and keep them sharp.
    I gave my wife one, she loves it. My kids will get their own ones when they’re old enough.

  7. I have had a Swiss army knife for a few years now and I have done most of my wood carving with nothing but that. It’s incredible how useful those things can be. It’ll probably outlive me and I’m not even old enough to drink.

  8. The “Marking blade” is actually meant for chopping the balls of of bulls. I do see why it would be useful for marking.

  9. Catchy headline! Remember in shorts your along side thumbnails of girls with their skirt half up and “ if you laugh you restart”. Why do they say that? They restart automatically

  10. Whereas I like my old timer because it’s a fairly decent quality budget knife that was actually designed with people who actually use them for a wide variety of tasks in mind. That’s depressingly rare with a lot of modern knife designs.

  11. I got a simlar one, with mother of pearl inlay. I wanted this exact blade so i paid $25 for it but its probably not worth more than $15 bucks.
    And a kershaw i got for $10 at walmart is worth at least $25 to me 😂
    i saw Kershaw for 10 bucks and i thought it was a mistake but i came back a week later and it was still being sold

  12. I always have a folding knife on me, but it HAS to have a pocket clip and it HAS to lock open and it CANNOT require me to put my finger under the blade to disengage the lock, and it WILL NOT be made in China … so I have Benchmades. Love em. 🙂 Amazing how many times a day we need knives. Definitely a tool I don’t require to be cheap. My box cutter was, though… 🙂

  13. Yep it was always in my dad’s pocket. His prefferd brand. He skinned a bunch of wire as an electrician for the railroad.👷
