Fantastic video, as usual; thanks for the effort. The last Gentleman's knife was terrific. I am excited to hear that you are planning on repairing it, and I cannot wait to see the results. Two thumbs up!👍👍
Good video with good information. I'd only disagree with your definition or terminology. Most of us consider "Multi blade knife" as simply being a pocket knife with multiple blades, period. A "Multi function "General Purpose" knife or Multi tool knife" is a pocket knife that has blades with a specific purposes. Such as a saw blade, cap lifter, screw drive, punch or awl, cork screw etc. The only exception has been the nail file on a pen knife. Even the Harness Jack which typically only has 2 blades the main blade and awl is considered a multi function knife. Now multi function knives are pocket knives. Personally I consider the Leatherman and SOG a pocket knife even though they both are clearly Multi tool knives. However, we are properly defining the "Multi blade knife" which is a knife with more than one blade, Stockman, Canoe, Congress, Cattle, etc. I hope this information might give you reason to rethink your definition for "Multi blade knife" Respectfully.
@@This_Old_Man_68 now you've opened a whole new discussion. Thanks for the point of view. I'll try to incorporate that in my next discussion. Good stuff !👍👏😁
Awesome collection I'm in awe, I have a knife with what I believe is a glass cutter, small cutting wheel, small cutout to snap the glass. Have you ever seen one? German utility knife?
The Levallois technique of stone knapping involved preparing a stone suitable for taking a flake from it. This is different to earlier stone tool production which involved finding a suitable stone and reducing it to something useful. With Levallois, it was possible, with the right stone, to flake off a spear head, cutter and scraper from the same stone. So, in a way, a multi-blade stone 😄. It seems there's been a need for having more than one type of blade to hand for quite some time. Perhaps 400, 000 years.
Just settle this in my head; is a Case 18 pattern with a punch still a stockman? I get that it's no longer a multiblade, but without a spey is it still a stockman or is it a serpentine jack?
@KennethKellogg-kt7bf It's hard to get my head around, too. Every pattern has little nuances. Not every 3 blade knife is a stockman. Camillus model 72 has three blades. A long clip, a short clip, and a copping blade. So a stockman was used on farms and should have a spey blade on it. But if you swap a spay for a leather punch, that still works. Because a leather punch was used on farms. It's not 100% but most patterns were named for their intended purpose. I've seen 3 5/8 inch knives with a clip blade and skinning blade called a Moose by the maker. But that doesn't work. A Moose 🫎 was a large ( 4 1/4" +) knife. Intended to be a more robust version of the muskrat. Collectors called the smaller knives bull horns. Some patterns were only made a certain way. Premium stock knives were only made in a serpentine pattern. When you get a knife that has a clip,spey and sheepsfoot in, say, a coffin pattern; I'd just say that's a non-traditional stockman. 🤪🙄🫠
