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
!
Lucky for me, no-one has used this one yet!!

SWEET Charlie!
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!

Well, you know what those civilians are like!!
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.

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