Dave the blades for this knife are very expensive here in the UK . But swann Morton make suitable various blades that also fit this knife , much cheaper , Swann Morton make scalpel blades for operating theatres ,Google them , I paid around £11 for 50 blades delivered in 2021
David, my wonderful teacher, you have pulled my fat out of the frustration fire on this one. I had taken my 10-049 (purchased upon you recommendation) apart for the purpose of putting a drop of gun oil on the pivot to get rid of a squeak. Then for the next fifteen minutes I frustrated myself trying to get it to go back together correctly. My blade kept fouling and rubbing against the case when I attempted to close it when the pivot screw was completely tight. That is when I went on a search and found this video. The critical part , I was missing, is the piece of black plastic just above the pivot point MUST be OVER the blade not behind it. The moment I did that my knife was both squeak free and working smoothly. Long story to say, Thanks!
I bought a couple of these and a pack of blades after watching your "Incredible little worker" video a while back. Had no idea how much I needed one as although I always have a SAK or leatherman with me I realize I've been reluctant to use them when I felt the work might damage the blade. This thing is always getting used. Many thanks!
I'm cheap so I plan to resharpen for as long as I can, but there's something psychological about knowing they are "disposable" blades and having spares that really makes this a good working knife for me. I think you mentioned that they aren't made anymore so I'm glad the price is still low.
Glen Gustafson I've sharpened some blades for so many years that you couldn't get your thumbnail in the nick on the spine. The more you sharpen them the deeper the blade sits within the case... I didn't throw this blade away either... I saved it. I only changed it for the video.... Also they seem to be making the blades different now. They knew how easy the were to sharpen nowits a lot more difficult... one has to hone down the cheeks right from the first sharpening.
David, I wanted to that you man for your praise about this knife. I went out and bought one and know I am in love, I use it to cut mostly leather, wood and cardboard. Thank you for the recommendation! I have a suggestion, when you sharpen spray a little Windex on the stone and diamond, it helps keep the stones clean.
Thank you for this video. I just took my knife apart and all the parts fell out. With your video, I was able to put it back together with the new blade.
I have all kinds of regular and utility knives, and after watching you and your Stanley, I went looking all over my shop for the old chrome one from decades ago, and I can’t find it...it’s out there somewhere! So....down to the hardware store and yep...bought another. All those others and I go “old school”...go figure! Thanks Dave!
Today i got my first Stanley 10-049 knife in India for less than a dollar from nearby flea market.😀 That blade is really a beast....as you always say!!
I carry both a Victorinox Deluxe Tinker and this one. This one is used much more often, and is excellent for laying woodworking joints. It's also rustproof, as I discovered after one spent a winter outside in the dirt. Since I'm a cheapskate, I resharpen the blades several times before replacement. By the way, chrome plated ones are still available if you look around.
I don't blame you. It's not all that apparent that the hole in the blade drops down onto the white plastic pin and the thin black plastic is just a keeper.
I can’t close knife and the video hides it. Am I to push down on button or switch what sticks out on sides. I am a 85 women. Explains Like the knife worked well on my project
I started out just wanting to see how well my camera could shoot close ups. As I thought more about this one, the real challenge became evident... Trying to keep it all in the shot while hugged up to the left rear of the camera... trying to keep the brass screw, fatwood scrapings, etc from bouncing off the handrail and into the wet grass 10' below. The dexterity and finesse aspects of it all is what started to intrigue me on this one... LOL!!! A word about how I keep a burr on my 90 degree spines. When I first get a new Mora or an Old Hickory Butcher Knife, I always grind the spine down to 90 degrees using a bench grinder or a side grinder. Next, I spend a lot of time with my diamond stone truing up the spine and actually going beyond that. I kick up a burr on that one side, the scraping side. Not my idea, my friend John Capps Channel (LINK below) told me about the technique years ago. Of course no bench grinding was needed on this stainless steel replacement blade, but it did take 2 minutes of work on my 4" diamond stone to kick up that initial burr. Subsequent touch ups will only take seconds. Come see how it all turned out. Please SUBSCRIBE at the end of the video. Thanks!

Great video David! So refreshing to see someone make a virtue of an honest useful cheaper tool as opposed to the excesses of super steels and sprint runs. I have a bunch of 'fancier' knives but have just re-order one of these Stanley's as I had one years ago and remember how light and flat it fits in pocket, it's really useful and you can't always take a Spyderco or similar along with you at all times (though they are great). I have three questions. 1. I notice the new blade is pointy compared to the original one, it has a pronounced angular tip. Did you prefer that or is that just what showed up? 2. Is there room inside the 10-049 to store a spare blade (I can't remember) and 3. Do you carry anything else regularly like other knives/multitools or is your EDC sleek and minimalist?
30 years ago the pointy blades were all I ever found to use. The past 5 years or so is when I tried the sheepsfoot style. I like the pointy one better for boring through holes in wood. No extra room inside. I never carry other pocket knives. SEE my SAK playlist.
Ciao,dove posso comprare questo cutter? Oppure il modello Stanley 10-127 old version? Grazie.....Hello, can I where to buy this cutter? Or the Stanley 10-127 old version? Thanks
Thank you for the reply. I watch your vids every night. I like your choice in tool. PRACTICALITY is the king. I am trying to see the difference in both kind of blades, too. Don't see any other difference than the shape of the tip.
I have 4 of these knives from the 70s or 80s. Mine are chrome plated , I use them for everything from carving wood, carpet to peeling apples. They're near indestructible.
There is also the nearly similar "Stanley Folding Pocket Knife 0 10 598", always wondered why they bothered having two similar products. I disliked the metal body, so ended with an opinel n°6 cutting the blade to a sheep foot model.
I have an older chrome plated one that I still use. Great idea with grinding the back for shredding wood then using for flint stick.

Glen Gustafson Takes a lot of torcher and easily sharpens right back up.

Thanks Steve.I have cut miles of cardboard with mine.No joke, if you put all the cuts end to end... miles. Thanks!
@@DavidWestBgood2ppl no problem David. Do you prefer the wharncliffe or sheep foot blade?
I have several and love them all - one i have honed very sharp and makes a good carvin knife for lil people and such - thanks
Thanks for the video; I ordered the Stanley today along with keychain fire steels.
You're going to love them.
I know this was 6 years ago, but I'm definitely going to look into this knife.
See the Stanley 10-049 playlist, too.
Thank you for this video. I just took my knife apart and all the parts fell out. With your video, I was able to put it back together with the new blade.
Great knives too.TY!
mine is on the way and it’s all because of you bro! Thank you!!
You'll enjoy it.

I'd like to have one of those chrome ones. Maybe next time I'll order one from Amazon.
I have chrome one that I got while working at a coal mine in eastern Kentucky 40 years ago. I use it all the time
I want a chrome one. Someday I’ll buy a couple off EBAY.
Today i got my first Stanley 10-049 knife in India for less than a dollar from nearby flea market.😀
That blade is really a beast....as you always say!!
Wow, good deal!
Thanks for the vid. Had to change my blade and wanted to make sure I was doing it correctly!
Just a great and informative film. Thanks David.
I'm glad you liked it. Simple as it is, it's one of my favorites. Thank you!
I use the blade of my knife for striking ferro. In my experience it doesn't dull the knife blade if you angle the blade properly.
I like to keep my spine sharp for ferro rod, wood scrapings, rust scrapings, etc

@@DavidWestBgood2ppl Does your knife have any issues after all these years of carry?
So that's how you do change that blade I kept putting the black lock back mechanism under the blade not on top of it.. thanks
I don't blame you. It's not all that apparent that the hole in the blade drops down onto the white plastic pin and the thin black plastic is just a keeper.
I can’t close knife and the video hides it. Am I to push down on button or switch what sticks out on sides. I am a 85 women. Explains Like the knife worked well on my project
Pull the black tabs with your thumb and forefinger away from the knife to disengage the lock.
I love when unexpected viewers find bushcraft videos useful!
How long does the blade protrude? Is this sharp enough like a razor blade to make clean cuts in foam board?
1 1/2". Yes.
Where can I get “key chain” ferro rod? Never thought about the case cutter for edc. Like roughing the back of blade too for fire sharpening.
Amazon
I know its an old video but what model and type of sharpener are you using on the back of the blade ?
Smith's diamond stone, Walmart $20.
Good video David

Can you store a spare blade inside the knife?
No. I recently saw a video about a Stanley very similar to mine that did.
@@DavidWestBgood2ppl do you know the Stanley model?

Are you 100% confident using the back edge as a scraper that the blade won’t fold in on your fingers? It made me nervous just watching you do it.
Yes. After100s of hours of use over 20 years, the blade lock has never failed.
Hi. Great vid. What wood is that are getting the shavings from?
Loblolly Pine Fatwood.
Do you know if the new blades will fit the older models?
1200sbeemer idk
David,
I notice you use 10- 041 blade. There is also 10-040 blade. Is there a reason why you use 041? Thanks.
That's what came with the knife. I have both kinds.
Thank you for the reply. I watch your vids every night. I like your choice in tool. PRACTICALITY is the king.

nice, just checked how i get one of the 10-049 my self, not that difficult even in germany :D
funny not hearing you talk :)

Very good video. The knife packaging isn't that clear. Thanks
Bien lo tuyo Tulio!
Gracias por ver amigo!
What? Fire without a $300.00 bushcraft knife. I say it can't be done. Oh, nevermind.
Right?
You are right on. Thank-you.
