What's a saw blade doing on the screwdriver blade?

Re: #15 Electricians knife
Apparently this is an SFO and that's how it was ordered. It's supposed to be a drywall saw.

Ahh, a little bit of everything for the Renaissance Tradesman. Anyone know who Steve Rice is?

Steve Rice seems to be a custom knifemaker: http://strsbackyardknifeworks.blogspot.de/
Anyway, I am really looking forward to seeing the completed electricians knife.

Re: #15 Electricians knife
Makes perfect sense to me. I can't count how many times I've used the saw on SAK to cut a hole for an outlet or light switch. Just the right size tool for the job.trey wrote:Apparently this is an SFO and that's how it was ordered. It's supposed to be a drywall saw.

Re: #15 Electricians knife
Like Steve Rice posted before GEC is coming up with a Tidioute Electricians Knife with wood handles. I think I prefer it over the olive drab Micarta handles of the STR-version.
Hope it somes out soon...

Re: #15 Electricians knife
The first STR-Electricians Knife is soon to be delivered. Doesn´t look too bad at all with the green Micarta handles!
I am not too keen on a sheepsfoot so I will wait for the spear point though...

Re: #15 Electricians knife
Congratulations! That long pull spear blade is my favorite. I have it on a charlow and a boys knife.Capt. Farrel wrote:The spear point is available and my order is out. Now the wait begins.....
I also have a Sheepfoot Charlow, and it has become a favorite for food. I think the Electrician with a Sheepfoot makes a lot of sense too. I love the long pulls on either blade.
I look forward to your photo links

Re: #15 Electricians knife - here it is!
The new GEC SFO from Steve Rice came today! I don´t know what it is about electricians knives that floats my boat but I guess this won´t be my last. Anyhow, it is made by GEC so that means quality for me. Tidioute Cutlery already made them in cocobolo and I wonder what more there is to come in the future.

My email from STR last week says they are charging $85 + shipping outside the U.S. and $90 shipped in the U.S.Capt. Farrel wrote:I paid $85.00 plus shipping.
I was considering getting one, but am not used to paying shipping on New GEC products, and I am still on the fence about the way the pivot pin is finished......but the Green Micarta is AWESOME!!

Re: #15 Electricians knife
I have to say that Steve charged me with a very reasonable price for overseas shipping so I can´t complain.

Re: #15 Electricians knife
Thanks guys for the info on pricing.
I agree with trevor, that pin just drives me crazy.

Re: #15 Electricians knife
They are supposed to be like this for strength. Many of the old knives had this style pin especially on a knife that would see hard use or twisting action such as a screwdriver blade.IMBand wrote:I am still on the fence about the way the pivot pin is finished.

Not trying to do that Just trying to explain the reason they do this on working type knives such as horticultural, electricians, sportsman`s, etc.IMBand wrote:Appreciate you knocking me off the fence MB....
Here is a picture of a 19th century pocket knife, note the pin head, and the fact it has a short stubby screwdriver blade.
Photos taken from the internet, not my knife.

Re: #15 Electricians knife
That´s interesting MB! A lot of german hunting knives are made like this. I always wondered why they are not flush with the bolsters, even on expensive ones.

Re: #15 Electricians knife
Now this is a Christmas present I'll use. At 3.5" it's pocket friendly, the long pull make's it easy to open and I like the swedge and finish on this one. The Ebony handle's are right for a working knife and the driver blade will come in handy. Not sure what I'll use the saw for but I will figure out something.....
