TL-29 Electricians Knives

[Adam5]

These are my Queen electrician's knives.

Liking the Q.S. #40 kinda sticks out from the crowd.

Thank you Chris!

Adam5,

Very nice. I’m a sucker for the TL-29 & electricians knives.

You fellas have been showing some nice stuff
Carman ,that USMC one have never seen. That’s a dandy
Adam5 . That Queen is a very nice addition to your collection.
Here’s a few . The older ones you unlock the screwdriver by pressing down on the main while closed. There’s no liner lock , they aren’t technically TL 29s . The Inspector kit is the only one have seen in 40 years of dealing with military stuff. The pics are from Mr. Silveys book.

Thanks Ripster. Are those knives and kit in the 1st, 3rd, and 5th pics yours?

Yes the knives and kit are mine for now .

Best knives & set I have seen yet, absolutely awesome. I don’t have a signal corp marked knife YET, but always looking for one.

Thanks!

It predates the Signal Corps design, which may help explain the clip blade and Coke bottle handle.

Thanx Adam I didn't know that
Now from your pre signal corp to the modern knives the contractors issue us on the termination and stresscone crews because of sabotage on the big jobs like nuclear refueling jobs we weren't allowed to carry our own knives like a Buck 112 which is my preferred splicing knife.Here is a pic of the Olfa knife we are issued horrible

Local Duke Energy linemen have told me about what they forced to use nowdays. I am glad I'm not under the same restriction.

Here is what I use every day:

You are much better off Adam according to our planners these Ofer knive cost us 1/3 production on stress-cones
