Brand NEW Canal Street Cutlery Summer Pine Half Moon Trapper.....#18 of 25.....juat arrived to me today!

Boy that's a stunner Scott! What kind of scales are those?

Thanks Perry!

Bone scales died Summer Pine!. mmmmm....mmmmm.....mmmmmm

What did you use on those blades??

I used 400 grit sandpaper to get the worst. Then worked my way up to 1500 grit...next I polished with simichrome.
Triple 0 steel wool works pretty good also.

Magnificent work johnnierotten!!

Thanks Scott.

Well put some time into the TL-29 this is what I have so far gut to get finer paper did this with scotch fine ::shrug::elbow grease and an overnite bath in WD-40.

Looking great. .... ..time & elbow grease is all it takes.

I know what ya saying thats why I stopped before I go get some 1500 grit paper

Hey cato, you are winning man! That Case XX is really nice, I have the same one, 40 to 65 stamp, Rough Black Jack! Killer and that Wadsworth, I'm with Johnnie, fix her up!

Well, I at least got it to where I don't buy any more electrician's knives unless it is a tang stamp I don't already have. On the other hand I keep finding ones I don't have. So far this month I have found a Craftsman, a Boker and an Imperial. I really can't think of many more I would likely find, except a Case, a Ric-Nor and a Colonial.

Here's the Imperial. I'm pleasantly surprised at the fit and finish of this knife - good looking delrin handles, finished backsprings, solid snap on both blades and a clean tang stamp.

Looks nice ,Trail. .......do you own a "Red Devil" electricians knife?

No, Johnnie, I guess that's another one for my list. I must say, that's a fine looking knife.

Thanks Bro. .....I had never heard of them before....that’s why I bought it.

Way cool knife jr!! Ebony?? John

Johnny;is that the brand and what year is it?? love the grain in the wood Trail; that Imperial is beautiful.

John..Thank ya Sir.....and ..yes its Ebony.

Dogg....the brand is Red Devil.....made from 1900-1936...

Uhhh, you guys might be creatin a new stir with these electician knives. They are awfully col pieces. Thanks for showin them.
