Thank you so much! There are many great scissors on the market (a few of which I've now reviewed). But none of them are as feature rich as this one! And none of them are as fun as this one!
The way some people use the terms, a 'rule' is a device used to draw a straight line. And you can see in the picture for that function a line has been drawn above the tool. Sometimes such a 'rule' is marked in lengths, but sometimes not. A 'measure' then would be something just to measure lengths. In a traditional wooden 'ruler' that you would see in schools, a metal bar was embedded in one side of the tool so that side could be used as a 'rule' in this way, though both sides were marked off in lengths to 'measure' things.
Thank you so much for this info! I do a lot of research into these older tools, but I just realized after reading your comment that I could have googled this! Also i have some older rulers that have that metal side on it. Good to know why its there!
Spending the first 3 minutes demonstrating scissors is certainly thorough, but might tax the patience of anyone who has seen scissors before. :-) I say this in the spirit of strong encouragement of you and your channel. Keep up the good work! Subscribed
That is a very neat little old school multi-use tool. Very practical and obviously it appears to be almost timeless. I love that help others without the mindset of getting something return. That is true charity and kindness. It is a great mindset. I never expect to get anything in return for helping people out. Kindness does not need a payment of any sort. Taking a few moments out of my day to hold a door open, carry a grocery bag for an elderly person or someone who is struggling with something. All for just a simple thank you and a smile. Makes me feel better as a person. To quote my late grandfather. "You never know what someone's days is like. By just giving a little help, conversation, and a smile might be what someone needs to make their day a bit more bearable and give them hope things will get better and all it costs you is a few minutes." I have lived by that since I was a little kid. Cheers and I'm now a subscriber.
Great tool und a great review. I think this eraser edge is for construction plans. Before the invention of laser or ink plotters pens or pen nibs were used for drawing plans. A very thick ink (Tusche in german, similar of japanese ink dawings) was used. This ink could not be erased like modern ink in school fountain pens. The ink would be scraped of with a single edge razor blade from the pergament or paper. It worked qite well because the paper was not harmed if used carefully. The ink just kind of spilntered off.
Very cool! I need a pair of these. Not sure for what, but I need them. For my cigar cutting and gun cartridge removal needs. I also need that banana. Mine spoil too quickly.
To understand the ink eraser you'll first have to understand how ink and pen works with paper made for writing with a proper fountain pen or a quill :) Modern paper will not work for writing with old pens, as it's not absorbing the ink correctly. The ruler, for drawing straight lines, should also be raised a fraction of a millimeter from the surface, to avoid ink from being sucked in under it by capillary effect, I'm sure there is a small edge on it to make that small gap?
This information is incredible. I have a fountain pen with refillable ink. But I don't use it often because it feels uncomfortable on paper. That is about as far as my experience goes with fountain pens or quill. I guess if I had the proper paper it would feel better to write with it based on what youre saying. Is there a specific paper you'd recommend? I don't recall there being that small gap. But i will check and get back to you!
@@happylittletools Paper for watercolor painting is fine, there are shops for posh paper, I think that cotton paper is about as fine as it comes, pargement will do for some ink types. Ink is not just ink, there's a whole science branch on it :) BTW: Greetings from Denmark :)
Buttonholing is definitely a niche tool for sure! I sew from time to time. One of the main things Ive been sewing lately is tool pouches because I'm fed up with the options available for purchase. And even then, i haven't had a need to make a button hole yet!
@@happylittletools I can't wait to see what you come up with, right now I switching my tools over to a ToughBuilt 7 in 1, I think it'll work for me but some people say that it will hurt my hips, only time will tell
My toughbuilt technician pouch I used for about a week but couldn't keep using it. The thing that annoyed me with it was how rigid it was. The big sheet of board they have inside it makes it get in the way a lot when I bent over or sat down. It felt unnatural on my hip. My current diy tool pouch system has had a few people ask me to make one for them so far. But i don't want to get into sewing as a business! Also there are a ton of issues with it I need to sort out.
Excellent presentation of this very handy little multitool. I doubt you could find a modern version of similar quality today. I want one.

The german Word displayed Lineal is more technically translated as a straight edge.

Absolutely great point! Thank you. I'm trying to get better at this so this kind of constructive criticism is super helpful!

Awesome information! I kind of want to get my hands on this ink now and try it out!

The banana definitely wont spoil. But it is a bit chewy!

Greetings!! I hope to see Denmark someday!
Very cool to see the innovation they had in 1901. That buttonhole making feature is definitely something I've never seen on most multitools.

@@happylittletools I'll have to keep that in mind, it feels very rigid, but I'll see if I can keep good habits of taking it off when I sit down
