Tactical Black. Batman forever!

[@357magdad]

Thanks Tony!

[@timeflysintheshop]

Well, I like the bright red for working in the yard, because I would be able to find it in the grass, but the tactical Batman version is super cool. The full bling is fun to look at, but too nice to want to use. 👍😁👍

[@357magdad]

Thanks! The full bling version definitely makes it a wall hanger!

[@mattadams9577]

All of them are great but another option maybe a combo of the blued with the bling. I love blued combined with shiny.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Matt! I considered bluing only the stippled part.

[@tonysheerness2427]

To good to use, they are no longer tools but works of art.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Tony! I have some pliers that I blued the handles on and the bluing is holding up with use.

[@hannanjaimet17]

U did amazing on all 3. I love them all. I think the last one got me. I can be a girly girl at times. The paint job got me with metallic glittery color. God bless. Thank you for the videos.

[@357magdad]

I'm glad you liked them all! Thanks for watching!

[@indigohammer5732]

Nice job. I've always liked Stanley Knives. They're a good, tactile object, as well as being a classic in industrial product design. So ubiquitous and timeless. Thanks for sharing.

[@357magdad]

Thanks for watching! Check out my ScoutCrafter Stanley 199 project:

[@frederickebigdaddyhale304]

Tactical black but it was close with full bling

[@357magdad]

Thanks!

[@johnlabree6286]

The Tactical Black looks nice.

[@357magdad]

Thanks John!

[@thomaslyon2112]

I like the full bling ! But you might be afraid to use it, something that cool,you don’t want to mess it up. 👍😀

[@357magdad]

Thanks Thomas!

[@jamesholmes3499]

I like all, but original red is my fave. Thanks again for what you do.

[@357magdad]

Thanks James!

[@williammcguire3rd]

Full bling but with the black.

[@357magdad]

Good combination WM3!

[@unwired1281]

Full bling. Always a joy to see your creativity!!

[@357magdad]

Thanks! It's fun to experiment with different finishes!

[@frankg3072]

They were all nice looking restorations but I think the last one was my favorite.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Frank! It's fun to go "full bling" with a project!

[@johnkelley9877]

I like them all but I have to admit the tactical black is really neat looking. Going back over the stippling with the small diamond bit made it look more like the sand casting texture on the knife. Thanks for sharing this.

[@357magdad]

Thanks John! Those diamond burrs come in handy!

[@stevewalker7822]

All look fantastic but being is best

[@357magdad]

Thanks Steve!

[@JESUS-POTENTATE]

Nice video you recommended. I have still never found one of them Stanley knives. Especially the version with the holes in the body. My favorite was the black. Thanks 😊

[@357magdad]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I got a couple videos of the "holey ones":

[@briansworkshop01]

Great video I must go for no 2 thanks for sharing your time and skill 🍺🍺👍🇬🇧

[@357magdad]

Thanks Brian!

[@joemoach832]

Great job on all three. The blued version is really nice but I would have to go with number 3 as my favorite.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Joe!

[@stephenbridges2791]

I like the blued version the best. Full deal, second.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Stephen!

[@Jerrynan]

The Tactical black... You have a lot of spare time... you need a hobby... LOL 😉

[@357magdad]

Cleaning up old tools is a fun hobby!

[@danielgraf8294]

I like the full bling except for the color.

[@357magdad]

The nice thing about using the mica powder is the huge variety of colors available.

[@mrbenmall]

Enjoyed the video. Normally I don't really like bluing... but in this case, it works. I 'd go with the blued version as my favorite. Thanks for the video.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Ben! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

[@bigvicsworkshop]

(1) Batman (2) Bling (3)Red - the ones I have always look orange instead of red..but they all should be the black..I have lewis that I did in black and really like it.. hope yall have a safe and enjoyable memorial day! 🇺🇸

[@357magdad]

Thanks Vic!

[@irishwristwatch2487]

I think the black but with the slightly magenta hued paint of the bling version would look fantastic. Cant beat the original tho!

[@357magdad]

Thanks! There are so many good ways to finish these!

[@juanbetancourt2802]

Hi, the last one my favorite...keep the good work!!

[@357magdad]

Thanks Juan!

[@robertlevine2152]

My selection, in order; 1. Full detail, combination, polished, red paint & silver highlights, 2. Blued handle, 3. Paint. There's something to be said for leaving it, as is. There was a lot of history in the wear and tear.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Robert!

[@patjohnson3100]

Love the creativity you demonstrate. They're all cool, but I'm going with the full bling example.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Pat! It is fun to experiment with different finishes!

[@scottlaflair4995]

I like the black and the bling but i would not want to use the bling one for fear of messing it up.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Scott! The full bling is too pretty to use!

[@MrDoeboy356]

I got secondhand information that Chuck has a cameo appearance in the next Batman movie.

[@357magdad]

He would love a ride in the real Batmobile!

[@rawbacon]

Bare Steel after the fiber wheel is where I'd stop but the Bluing is nice too.

[@357magdad]

The shiny metal vesrion was pretty nice!

[@drewskenheimer]

Full Bling...but they all came out great

[@357magdad]

Thanks Andy!

[@puneetnigam1002]

Full Bling for me. Any day all day...

[@357magdad]

Thanks!

[@beerdrinker6452]

Full bling.

[@357magdad]

Thanks!

[@mikecurtis2585]

Tactical Black! They all love great! Have a wonderful weekend 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@357magdad]

Thanks Mike!

[@805ROADKING]

Nicely done Bud!! The Full Bling looks like more fun to use!!☻

[@357magdad]

Thanks RoadKing! The full bling was fun to do up!

[@wireworks616]

Great job. I like the tactical black.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Wire!

[@seanpatterson1609]

Full bling for the win!

[@357magdad]

Thanks Sean!

[@GeorgeWMays]

Very fun. I tend toward the Batman look myself. Thanks. I appreciate the video.

[@357magdad]

Thanks George! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

[@rogerstlaurent8704]

If this was a test question Witch Stanley Utility Knifes would you pick is it A.B.C.or D the correct answer is D all above ..all the knives came out beautiful .. You and Mr Chuck did a fine job restoring the famous Stanley 1299 Utility Knifes .. Here is a question for Mr 357Magdad Which Utility Knifes do you like the best ??? hay take care looking forward to your next Sundays Video

[@357magdad]

Thanks Roger! My everyday user is a 1970's Stanley 299.

[@wayneo7307]

Hi Magdad , I Usually like Keeping Stuff Original . But This Time I Take Tactical Black. I Think It Looks The Best.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Wayne! The tactical black version is really popular with viewers!

[@philpartin8618]

Full bling for sure.😊

[@357magdad]

Thanks Phil!

[@LL-fi4rr]

Wow, I really liked all 3. Probably my favorite was the full bling version because it reminds me of a Swiss Army knife, followed by the blued version, but I would be just as happy with staying true to the original with the simplistic repaint.

[@357magdad]

Thanks! Experimenting with different finishes is fun!

[@Dardrum]

Geeez Magdad, It's Sunday morning and you want me to CHOOSE, Not happening bro lol, I like all three.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Dale! It was fun trying different finishes!

[@patrickmeyer1967]

I liked the blued version. So if Batman has it, does it become a "Bat-box cutter"? LOL I really enjoy your videos!!

[@357magdad]

Thanks Patrick! Since the blade doesn't retract, he'll need a sheath for his utility belt.

[@jazzersten]

№ 3 version was my favorite. Very nicely done. I especially like the diamond point stippling.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Jess!

[@kimbishop4734]

They all have their own charm. But I think that my favorite is the full bling. That honestly surprised me. I'm usually original finish guy.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Kim! I'm glad I surprised you!

[@vanislescotty]

Full bling without a doubt or hesitation. Tactical black was second favorite. Authentic red was nice too but xame in third. Nice work!

[@357magdad]

Thanks!

[@elviscoso01]

The Batman is the best.

[@357magdad]

No argument from me!

[@GuntersGarage]

All three very nice jobs! Such a hard choice but Id say the black.

[@357magdad]

Thanks!

[@williamlee1429]

Tactical black for sure. Now that I’ve seen it.

[@357magdad]

Thanks William!

[@jeffdorrity5609]

Of all the choices, the original red tactical black full bling color scheme was my favorite!

[@357magdad]

Thanks Jeff! I'm glad I made it hard to choose!

[@TheKidFromYTown]

They all looked great but my favorite was The Full Bling

[@357magdad]

Thanks!

[@stevea1217]

All beautiful, I like the black one best. Thanks for all your great videos!

[@357magdad]

Thanks Steve!

[@TheCleric42]

The blingy version would have been even better if you’d chosen a medium green.

[@357magdad]

The advantage using mica powder is the large number of colors available.

[@michaellindsay8934]

Great work as always I like all of them but the full bling is my favorite thanks for the tip on the mica powder

[@357magdad]

Thanks Michael!

[@johnmclaurin]

Full bling for me, although, they were all good! I really like it with just the bare metal finish…

[@357magdad]

Thanks John! The bare metal version did look good!

[@ravendark2422]

I nick the wifes eyeshadow applicators to paint raised lettering on tools they’re dirt cheap and do a great job.

[@357magdad]

Good idea!

[@rushley5813]

The scoutcrafter one looks good but I'm all for the blued one reminds me I have one of those I need to redo I might have to raid my testers paints and see if I have anything I like enough to use on it

[@357magdad]

Thanks!

[@ralphiewigs2208]

I like tactical black a little bit more than full bling. How about a paracord lanyard for that beauty?

[@357magdad]

A lanyard would be a nice addition!

[@williammarshall2935]

Full bling 😊

[@357magdad]

Thanks William!

[@mykalwilder2671]

👏👏👏 Tactical black followed closely by full bling.

[@357magdad]

Thanks!

[@ivanstiles7030]

I really like the tactical black but i gotta say the full bling is probably my favorite.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Ivan!

[@trevorjowers9669]

full bling

[@357magdad]

Thanks Trevor!

[@chrisT5259]

Bagdad - full bling gets my vote. All look really good but that stands out!

[@357magdad]

Thanks Chris!

[@ihrescue]

Such a simple design yet highly effective and cutting edge. I am partial to the bare metal look but off the choices I'll say tactical black. I like the Dremel trick to add the stippling.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Michael! The bare metal version was pretty nice too!

[@halcooper6059]

The blued version is my favorite.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Hal!

[@JohnSmith-yl6dn]

I’m a fan of historical accuracy. I like the first one.

[@357magdad]

Thanks John!

[@ToothMolar]

I liked the tactical black with the "bling" red paint

[@357magdad]

That would be a good combination!

[@Resto-Rob]

All 3 are cool. Love the Tac Black the best. 🦇

[@357magdad]

Thanks Robert!

[@2012Guardian]

I love #2 but my final choice is the Bling #3

[@357magdad]

I'm glad I made it a tough choice!

[@EasyMac308]

I liked black and bling, but I think bling wins out.

[@357magdad]

Thanks! A few people have suggested a black and bling combo!

[@valsforge4318]

They all came out very good, but my favorite is the one that you blued.

[@357magdad]

Thanks!

[@garyryman4947]

I have to say, love what you did with full bling.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Gary! It was a fun project!

[@larryborkstrom3580]

Like them all but I think you saved the best for last

[@357magdad]

Thanks Larry!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Always great to see the cast iron Stanley knives. My all time favorite is sanded down and buffed then a coat of clear shellac... I just love those classic knives... Great stuff!

[@357magdad]

Thanks ScoutCrafter! The cast iron gives them a nice weight that the alloy ones don't have.

[@geraldschrader8511]

Love the full bling version!

[@357magdad]

Thanks Gerald!

[@cptkirkjamest6927]

I liked wot u done 2 all 3 of them but the full bling is best

The red one was a restoration
The dark one was an improvement

[@357magdad]

How about the full bling version?

[@randomdutchguy]

@@357magdad also nice.....but i just loved the other one

[@mrqsysopr]

Full bling looks best.

Hi Magdad, it’s tactical black for me. We got a good look at the bloke behind the camera on Bob’s video of Jacktown😂 It looks like you and Scout Crafter were having a lot of fun. I finally posted a new video if you’re interested at Scrounga’s Workshop. Cheers mate, Stuart 🇦🇺

[@357magdad]

Thanks Stuart! ScoutCrafter's meet up was fun!
