Screwdriver Schrade

Post by upnorth »

So far, this is the only one of these I've ever seen! I wonder if they all got twisted up and broken?? With the half-stop, you can put a lot of torque on it :shock: !
Lucky for me, no-one has used this one yet!! 8)

SWEET Charlie! ::drool:: ::drool::
That is the first one I have seen like that too.
Do you have a date on it?

Probably a civilian version of a TL-29 for the electrician who likes to drink! :mrgreen:

Well, you know what those civilians are like!! :roll:

First appears in this pattern, in the 1934 supplement Catalog. Likely not made after the start of WWII. In 1926 it had a longer sd blade with no cap lifter. Prohibition ended in 1933 (1920-1933)! I wonder??

I collect the TL-29 pattern, I would love to get one of those upnorth (even though it's only related to the TL-29). Nice one. ::tu::

Here's a Schrade version of the early electrician's knife - pre-TL-29. Screwdriver lock releases by pressing the main blade.
