This is my electricians knife that my daughter gave me from Pawn Stars in Las Vegas. Can anyone help in dating this sweetheart?

As you can see from the chart shown below it appears to be 1977-1983 but it's missing the year. ::shrug:: (click on the link to enlarge it)

jerryd6818, Thank you, I have looked with a 10X magnifying glass and can't see any sign of there ever being a date.

Welcome to AAPK. Glad to have you aboard.

They're not a high value item. There's a ton of them out there. For one in good condition, draw a big circle around $20.

I agree in the mid 70s. This is a nice one handles look good, blades are shiny, full - they often got used very hard and look it. I especially like the liner lock - twisting a screwdriver in reverse increases chances of collapse, if you are not deliberate. A good user knife. I have a pruner with a big contract federal contract # on the blade - Contractor always control details of an SFO knife -- maybe they wanted delivery over several years and said "skip the year- skip the contract #"

I'd hope for more than $20 - but I'd keep it - maybe someday it will be truly antique when everything is wireless...
