Offered here is a beautiful vintage Stanley No. 299 utility knife, hand engraved by The Tool Engraver (known on Instagram as @thetoolengraver).
Compact yet durable, this cast metal knife measures approximately 4.75 inches in length and weighs about 2 ounces—making it a practical and reliable tool for everyday tasks. Stanley utility knives have long been trusted by tradesmen and craftsmen for their simple, rugged design and dependable performance.
The scroll design was created entirely from scratch and executed by hand using a Steve Lindsay hand graver. Every line was individually cut—no laser engraving, no machine replication—ensuring authentic craftsmanship with lasting depth.
The engraving and handle have been carefully colored to complement the lightly polished metal frame, enhancing contrast while preserving the knife’s clean, classic appearance.
Included are three new old stock blades, allowing the knife to arrive ready for use.
This is more than a utility knife—it is a piece of practical craftsmanship elevated by traditional hand engraving. Equally suited for daily use or display in a thoughtfully curated collection.
