Keeping with the electrician's knife theme, here is a John Watts/Sheffield/England. I don't think that I've posted this one here before.

I don't know why, but I'm drawn to the stainless handled utility knives. They were cheap, with lots if variants, and fun to collect. The new in box Buck 111, is a throw back to another world. I look at it and "Rhinestone cowboy" starts playing in my head.

I agree, I think they are fairly uncommon. I have two of them. Dimitri has one and is the only other person I know that has one.

Here's another all metal electrician's knife. Wadsworth/Germany/D.R.G.M. Scout Tool, very cheap with the tab-lock bolsters. But it is a little different.

Is it just me, or does being an electrician with an all conductive metal "electrician's knife" sound like a bad idea?

Shocking, to say the least... ::lightening::

Just bought another one off ebay this evening. G. Butler, Sheffield England. Now, if I get it. The item location is in France, but the price was right.
