The original Klein & Sons Electrician's Knife
We often see postings of the relatively common delrin or wood handles TL29 patterns made for M Klein & Sons and with the M Klein & sons tang stamp. These are relatively modern and made by Utica or by Camillus, depending on the vintage.
This is an interesting one - pre-WWII and made by Cattaraugus. The only early one that I have ever seen.

Actually, I think TJ had a near-mint example of that knife.
His greatest interest was in electricians knives with a two-sided wire stripper blade.
