I love the Klein electrician knives. I'm currently looking for a 3 blade version that needs a little tlc. There's a few on E-bay but nothing quite right for me. I'll find one soon!

If you like Kleins, here's a Radio/Electrician made by Cattaruagus, 1920's-30's

Nice example Vit. Circa WW I. I have other brands but I don't think I have a WWI Camillus TL-29.

Here's a pair for you, Dale. One two blade and one screwdriver blade only.

I added a new electricians knife to my list today. I don’t think it was a military issue. Goins does not have a lot of information on this company, his list in total is:
“Royal Brand USA c 1914-1954.”

Though not a TL-29, here is an electrician's knife that I picked up on ebay this morning. Kaufman K55. I don't know a thing about it but did find it interesting.

I have been looking for a Sword Brand TL-29 for quite some time. I finally got one today on eBay.
The spear blade is stamped Sword Brand on the mark side and on the pile side has the four-line Camillus stamp.

Since I just won the auction tonight will have to be content with the sellers pictures until the knife gets here.
When the Sword Brand TL-29 gets here I will also take pictures of another recent Sword Brand acquisition; when I purchased it I thought I was getting a Sword Brand TL-29 but when the knife arrived the spear blade is etched RADIO KNIFE. They appeared to be very near the same knife, at least from the picture of the one I just want on eBay. It will be interesting to see the two knives side by side and see if there is a difference.

Posted this one in another thread but thought I'd put it here as well. An Imperial electrician's knife that had one shell handle missing when I bought it in a bag of 12 parts knives for $3. Made the handles from white plastic(maybe Plexiglas).

Heres a

M.Klein & Sons
Chicago
Made in USA

I picked up over the weekend. Wood handles still in decent shape and you can still read the engraving on the blades.

Here's another old Klein I did some cleanup work on. A coworker, knowing my liking and appreciation of an old user, gifted this to me on his last day prior to retiring. He says his Dad and/or Grandpa used to use this when they worked for the railroad. Here are some before and after shots. Several hours of hand sanding and a little flitz cleaner and renaissance wax and voila!

WWI Catt electricians knife.

Nice Catt.
Got me looking thru a pile here. Here’s a few haven’t shown on here yet. Top 2 are 4 line Camillus . The bone one is the only bone Electrician knife I have . The 2 Ulsters are pre WW1 , One of them is from a 1916 Signal Corp Inspector kit . Both the Ulster locks are released by pushing down on the main blade while closed thus unlocking Screwdriver type blade .

[Ripster]

And a Pal . Not sure when this was made. It’s about 1/2 inch shorter than the Camillus and doubt it’s a TL 29 as it doesn’t fit the government specs for the TL 29 .

[Miller Bro's]

Cool.

Thanks!

Thank you, nice selection you have there. The bone handle ones are a prize to find
