Thanks for that - I've just bought one and couldn't see how to fit the blade under the plastic retainer until I watched your video. Stanley don't give much info! 👍
Thank you James. There's a tuned version going out in a bit. Slightly different thumbnail, 1 minute less and more written info on screen. I'm doing them as a comparison. RU-vid is getting harder to get engagement with Views, subs, hours, likes.. Its all going a bit too quiet. The next video is better I think. Jamie
Thank you for sharing! I've got the knife for a few days and i thought that something didn't fit properly because the black plastic piece on the bottom doesn't goes all the way in when the blade it's folded but looking at your video I see that is how it's designed. Happy crafting!! Cheers from Spain
Love this knife so much that i have 4 of them I work as a vehicle electrician and i made my own knives for years becaus i couldn't find a wharncliffe style blade in the right lenght. I searched for a long time before i found stanley 5901 blade and it is perfect. I made a sheath for it so I dont have to fold it becaus i use it so often.
I tried the same the same blade type in the disposable scalpel form. Packet of three for very little money, can be sharpened easily. Ideal for getting into nooks and crannies. Perhaps a little flexible. I keeps him with the dovetail gear.
This type of knife is a favorite of Paul Sellers. He's had the same one {there are marks identifiable on his) for years of videos. He always uses it for knife marks before chiseling. I have one but have to find it. I remember putting the lightest coats of 3 in 1 oil (US name) on the spare blade. Never rusted before I misplaced it.
I make them myself. The next time I've got some spare leather I'll be making some more. It would really help me out if you were a subscriber. Thank you for watching. Jamie
