The best thing I like about your show in its down to Earth reality. You do not have to spend $200-$400 for a super steel ADC knife as some would have us believe. We did very well with the cheap affordable knives of the day, they were tough, reliable and easy to sharpen, if you lost one it didn't matter, a new one didn't break the bank.
Interesting handle materials. I never thought of using circuit boards as covers, but they are a sturdy material (fiberglass) . PCB Layers Explained Substrate Layer. The substrate layer of any PCB is usually made from fibreglass, which gives the board its rigid form. ... Copper Layer. Next is a thin layer of copper foil which is laminated to the board using heat. ... Soldermask layer. ... Silkscreen layer.
That slim folder with circuit board scales sure would be a great gift for that computer nerd friend who was building his own when the 386 was the hot processor to have.😀
That is so cool with the circuit board, I actually have a slim metal business card holder with a circuit board top. Thanks for the history on this awesome knife.
I have seen custom knives with these types of handles, but first time I see a mass produced one. Thanks for showing it! I am surprised no knife co. has done this recently.
I believe knives like this one are more durable than one might think. The the handle material is as strong as the blade. I watched knives tested until the blade broke and the handle was still working without damage. Your knife is a cool looking model, I it like for the value of collecting; it is interesting looking and durable. The idea was far ahead of the times. It compares to Gerber LST knives except uses a two-piece construction with a metal spacer. It looks like the lines and numbers are in line with the frame and blade.
This is really cool, i remember seeing these in an old catalogue long ago. There is another knife similar to this made for Beretta in Seki City called the Electra, it has circuit board inlays set in a steel handle.
Really a shame Camillus went down, this is at least one model i would have bought. Over here it was almost exclusively Case that was sold as American knives. Ofcourse there were different German brands that sold knives here, but nothing that futuristic. Thank you for showing Tobias.
I often wondered why this kind of scale or cover isn't more common. It's either G10 or FR-4 after all, not GFN/FRN. PBX on the board probably stands for private branch exchange, so it was something to do with telephony.
I think is a classic utilitarian knife, with bone handles from a cyber being, as cool as cattle bone handles. Definitely is a very good idea. Strangely, did not came from victorinox! Think in the ciber tool, or a spartan!
I missed this back in the day. I would have bought two, one for me and one for my dad. I still enjoy small lockbacks, this is something that I will keep an eye out for. I think it’s a cool idea for handle material, look how thin it is. Does it have much flex to it? Thanks for sharing this one!
Love the PCB, not sure if they are as durable as G10 or FRN. I am an Electronics grad, but didn't work in the component side, so I can't identify what appliance it came from. Pretty cool though. Same as some commenters, my concern would be the lead content in the solder. Can't argue that is was a great idea though. THanks Tobias!

Private Branch eXchange The term PBX was first applied when switchboard operators ran company switchboards by hand. As automated electromechanical and then electronic switching systems gradually began to replace the manual systems, the terms PABX (private automatic branch exchange) and PMBX (private manual branch exchange) were used to differentiate them. Solid state digital systems were sometimes referred to as EPABXs (electronic private automatic branch exchange). Now, the term PBX is by far the most widely recognized. The acronym is now applied to all types of complex, in-house telephony switching systems, even if they are not private, branches, or exchanging anything.
@@KnifeChatswithTobias I was in Electronic Warfare for 6 years, worked at Harris Corporation for 8 years wiring up microwave cell phone tower transmitters, and 12 years at Intel Corporation making computer chips, so yes I have some experience with circuit boards. 😃It's hard to tell the exact circuit it came out of because you don't see the whole board. Usually a PCB will have the boards name on it to identify where it belongs.
Cool idea, nice size for the pocket. Even Greta Thunberg might EDC that. California however will tell you it will cause cancer. They are always so snarky; so carry it at your own risk..
I am pretty sure that your assumption that the circuit board material is FRN is incorrect. One of the most common materials for circuit boards is FR4, which is a fiberglass reinforced epoxy laminate and is essentially a fire retardant version of G10.
Thanks for the additional information. I was under the impression that FRN/FRP is a term that is generically used for any number glass reinforced plastics As I was uncertain of which plastic was being used I went broad. A few others have also mentioned FR4. Again, appreciate the clarification.

A great looking knife! In the 70’s my mother designed circuit boards for a living.

LOL! Thanks I'm thinking this is one for the collection.
Wow and too cool, I want one, lol, thanks for the chat, light you up if you touch live power
Was my favourite type of knife when we could carry them, love lockbacks.
Yeah buddy let's go👍👍🤠🤠
Pretty cool idea. It will help future people decide when that knife was made!
Very good post, nice idea with the circuit boares from Camilus, cheers !
Thanks. It’s definitely an interesting idea.
Thats a wild little knife! Definitely the knife for the techie...lol! Thanks for the look Tobias!
That what I was thinking! The computer geeks should’ve been scooping these ups.
That's extremely cool. Never seen one like that.
That is so cool with the circuit board, I actually have a slim metal business card holder with a circuit board top. Thanks for the history on this awesome knife.
Really like this one Tobias. 👌 fantastic idea.
I have seen custom knives with these types of handles, but first time I see a mass produced one. Thanks for showing it! I am surprised no knife co. has done this recently.
I remember those,they are unique and cool
Fun knife! Thanks for sharing! I’ve never this before.
That's a really cool knife. The large one is very cool also.
Now isn’t that a interesting piece!!!!! Very cool thanks for showing that one!!!!! Stay well buddy
Thanks congrats on the big box of Uncle Henry’s!
Cool knife! I kinda wanna see cybertool with covers like this
That would be cool!

like that mini blackhorn, i got a blackhorn 4.2 that opens on one side for cleaning, i want to price it but i can't find it anywhere

What a concept. Bones from a cyber animal!
Awesome, never seen one. 😎
I wonder if they made sure the handles are lead free.

Really, not much flex at all, if any. I’m pretty impressed with it!
Nice looking knife! I never seen one like that!!!
It's still a pretty cool knife great videos thank you Tobias! It's a keeper👍👍🤠🤠🗡🔪🔪🔪
Interesting scales.

Lead, huh? So don't suck on it for a long time.
@@KnifeChatswithTobias haha! Don't even think about it!
Great knife! Where did you find it?
Trolling eBay late at night.
Hi Tobias, i made a video of my very old Sheffield made gave you a shout out on all my channels
Instructions in Canada always come in English and French. 🤔
Yes, it's a legal requirement.
That makes more sense than France!
cool knife for a tech junky maybe?
Cute Cat 🙂
I think that circuit boad was used in some type of phone. I saw PBX on the board.
What is PBX?
Private Branch eXchange
The term PBX was first applied when switchboard operators ran company switchboards by hand. As automated electromechanical and then electronic switching systems gradually began to replace the manual systems, the terms PABX (private automatic branch exchange) and PMBX (private manual branch exchange) were used to differentiate them.

The acronym is now applied to all types of complex, in-house telephony switching systems, even if they are not private, branches, or exchanging anything.
It's also a relatively new circuit boad as it uses Surface Mount Technology which became popular in the 80's.
Cool! Great bit of information there. I’m guessing you were in the field for awhile?

@@WilliamsKnifeLife William this is a knife for you for sure 😀

Also could be French because of French Canada
