Duh, I clicked on the "notifications" button and completely missed all the above. J.O'.

Your clues got me there as usual. I actually have a Queen made strawberry bone whittler.

Someone else feel free to post.

How many different knife companies made a version of the TL-29 electrician/lineman knife? For the most part, they all look pretty similar, but subtle differences do exist. Perhaps the distinguishing features on this one will help identify the brand. The devil is in the details.

I am not very familiar with this pattern so I don't know if it's normal for the screwdriver blade to have a sharpened edge, but the screwdriver blade on this one has a sharp (factory) edge.

Made in the U.S.A.

OK, or Ontario Knives?

[QTCut5]

It's an okay knife but it's not an "OK" knife

Utica/Kutmaster O'.

[QTCut5]

Not a Utica/Kutmaster

[QTCut5]

The tang stamp only shows the company logo (not the company name) over "USA"

OK, or Ontario Knives?

Dang it I was never smart enough to figure out that the OK was Ontario Knife Co. & I collect electrician knives. Thank you

Queen J.O'.

You beat me to it. Queen is one I don’t have yet.

[Ridgegrass]

I'll get one up directly. O'.

[Ridgegrass]

Okay, American, long gone for over 100 years. J.O'.

Waterville?

[Ridgegrass]

Not Waterville. O'.
