A buddy sent me a link to this Robeson on ebay. It sold for $256.53. I've never seen anything like it. How about you guys? Charlie?

Looks like an electrician knife? Very cool knife. Let's see what Mr. Noyes has to say.

I saw that auction and a very desirable knife. Went past my limit. Robeson Radio Electrician's knife.

I've never seen anything like it. But that's the most interesting knife I've seen in a long time!

One of the rarest of the rare, along with a four blade automobilist's knife and the carriage knife.
Best one I ever saw was in the NKM. Still had a full etch.
I bought one years ago, but it turned out to have a welded, non-original master blade.
They hail from the time when the wiring in radios was connected with knurled brass nuts or hex-nuts, hence the "alligator wrench".
Master was a wire stripping blade.
I bid on that one, too, but given its condition, I didn't bid much. It went high, didn't it?
I'll try to get an image from a catalog reprint.
