Some electrician's knives.......

Seeing as how I'm photographing these for my records,I thought I'd post a few. I don't have a lot of these but some are a bit unusual.

First up is a standard 4-line Camillus with wooden scales in pretty reasonable shape.It is still scary sharp.I have another 4-line with a shield in a WWII telephone lineman's kit.

Next one is a bit unusual:a Colonial Barlow with a screwdriver blade as a secondary.The only one I've seen like this was a Ric-Nor but it was marked as an electrician's(Electric-Mate)rather than a Barlow.

Next is a Colonial advertising DuPont Explosives(Buckley Powder Co.).I've had this knife forever(at least 30 years).Still has a cosmolene type glaze on the blades.

Next one is marked Holub Sycamore Illinois and has serrations on the screwdriver blade for different size wire.Probably a contract knife but this is the first one I've seen with the serrations.

Next is a standard Imperial with some type of plastic scales simulating wood.

Next is a Klein 3 blade with two liner locks and an unusual 3rd blade.I described this one in the Q&A section.

Next is a Queen pattern I've never seen.Clip master blade with screwdriver/cap lifter secondary blade.Anyone know the number?

Next is the aforementioned Ric-Nor;again probably a contract knife.

Last is a Schrade Walden with beautiful wood scales and a shield.Don't see too many with a shield.

The squares are 1" so that would be pretty close.

cool, sargent's 6th has several examples of the #40. with etch, steel liners, and brass liners.
