That's right
I have my wife more than once that I want my grandson (7 yrs old) to be anything he wants to be, but if he doesn't find a profession he will be an electrician.

This old Electrician knife is 4 3/4" closed. There is no stamp on either blade. Has incredibly strong back springs, and no locking mechanism for the screw driver.
Just wondering if anyone has seen another this size?
Any information would be appreciated.

I haven’t seen one like it, but if I do I will definitely add it to my collection. That’s great looking.1fartsmella wrote: ↑Thu Mar 27, 2025 12:34 am This old Electrician knife is 4 3/4" closed.

It was recommended that I post these photos here.
I spotted these at the Baltimore Antique Arms Show last weekend. I’d never seen an original box before then.
If the whole thing hadn’t been $300, they should have come home with me to live with the rest of my Signal Corps stuff.

If it had been like $150-$160 instead of $300, I wouldn’t have even hesitated. As much as I love a good TL-29, with that price I couldn’t justify buying something that’d never see the inside of a CS-34 or strip a piece of assault wire.CarMan wrote: ↑Sun Mar 30, 2025 7:14 amThat would have been a very hard one to walk away from.AirCorpsClerk wrote: ↑Sat Mar 29, 2025 6:01 pm It was recommended that I post these photos here.

Also here is a picture of the Camillus model 27 that I carry every day. Texas Ebony handles and a screw driver delete. Stays scary sharp Unique enough that every one that see it wants to have a look at it.
Let's see yours.

I also put this in the Broken, Battered & Abused section, but thought you gentleman might enjoy this as well.
Well, I have a love affair with the Signal Corps, Electrician & TL-29 knives in ANY condition.
Top- Ulster with great snap on both blades & obviously the blade itself had snap.
Middle- Signal Corps. When I got it I thought the blade was broken off, but it is completely gone. I’m hoping to figure out who it’s made by & maybe find a donor knife & someone who can change the blade, cause it’s really in pretty good shape. And, it’s my first Signal Corps knife, been looking a long time for one.
Bottom- Challenge Cutlery. Actually in good condition except for front scale, which at some point I hope to find someone who can repair or replace it.
And, yes I know I am a terrible photographer. I am photographically challenged.

Here’s a couple of Challenge electrician knives that appear to have seen just a little use. One spear and one sheep’s foot. 3 3/4” long with locking screwdriver blades that are released by depressing the master. Half stops on the masters with snaps like a gator.
Had these two for along time.

I just picked up this electrician knife. Well-made but I have never heard of the brand 
Holub of Sycamore Illinois. Does anyone know of this brand? Thanks for the information ahead of time.

Has anyone ever seen a Colonial electrician with TL-29 stamped on the front scale? I have seen it on many knives, but never a colonial. I have also not seen the removable bail on a real TL-29.
Thanks for the help.

Here is my current WW2 metal shield TL-29 stamped set.
From left to right: Kabar, Camillus, Remington, Ulster, Kutmaster, Utica, and Union. (Also have the Schrade Cut Co but not pictured.)
Still looking for the Case with shield, and USMC versions if anyone has one they would be willing to part with!

Holub was an electrical contractor supply house, if I recall correctly. The knives themselves were made by Schrade.
