UNION CUT CO. "Electrician". Single blade with stripper and screwdriver. Lock-back and one, stamp-side, easy open groove. Cocobola or maybe walnut scales. 3-1/2" . I have quite a few TL-29's and "Radio Electricians" but this is the only single blade I've seen. J.O'.

Do you think it was always a single blade, or has it been modified? Also don't rule out rosewood as a handle material.

OC: I'm pretty sure its original, no evidence of a redo. Could be rosewood.

I would have my doubts were it the first one I had seen but it is the second one I have seen and I think it is proper. Their lockback single bade knives with a knife blade have different looking frames and the frame on yours could not have once been a two blade knife since it would be very hard to operate a back lock bar on one side of a two blade knife. Very cool example!!

It's an odd one. Thanks, J.O'.
