All About Pocket Knives

Here's a collection of electricians knives. The three opened ones are a remington lever lock, a Winchester balde lock and an Empire lockback.___Dave

Nice collection!

I think the oldest one I have is a Wostenholm Wireless Knife, which dates to the 1930s, and the oldest American-made example being a WWII Camilllus TL-29. However, most of mine are probably no older than the 1960s.

A very nice group of knives.

Nice collection. Here are some Schrades and Robesons:

Nice knives, guys! I only have one - M.Klein & Sons that I can’t determine the age - I use it as one of my EDCs.

Man when you guys say you have electrician knives you are not kidding.
I have only one. Had to improvise the missing bail when I bought it.

If you are going to only have one, you might as well have a good one, and that Case is a good one.____Dave

Dave, I think the Remington deserves a post (and more pictures)
all of its own. I don't recall having seen a double-ended electrician before.
Quite unique

Nice electrician knives guys!

A few of mine displayed on a three phase knife switch on a slate backer.

Nice display.

Nice stuff here fellas .
Dave that double ended Rem is a new one at this end . Very nice
Gard , great display
Bob , that Case is Nice
Open Range , Schrades and Robeson . Don’t see many Robeson
Here’s a few that are lying around here : Pal. WW2 Period . Group of Camillus TL-29s . A old Red Devil . Pair of Bone handled WW2 Period . And the US Signal Corp kit from 1916/17 period . These kits were used more by the radio man than the lineman . This is the only full kit have seen in all the years collecting military/ knife related things . Was very happy to purchase here thru a member .
Been a good post . Catch you all later .

Enjoying the posts gents.

I agree with Open-Range. Some awesome knives in this thread.

Here's a UNION, Olean, NY, lockback, built with just a single blade, double-pinned butt spacer; and a CATTARAUGUS 21087, etched, "Radio Electrician", two blade.

Oh Ridge! Your killing me my Friend!!
That Catt Radio Electrician knife is like a grail to some of us . What a pleasure to see . . The Union Single isn’t none to shabby either .
Thanks for posting those ,take care out there .

Thanks gents. The Catt has been sealed up in the Catt store-display case for twenty years. J.O'.

I carry an Electrician's knife quite a bit. Lots of advantages, easy to find one US made, cheap to buy a used one in most cases, good large strong blade with lots of "meat"/width to sharpen over and over again.

That's a good one!

Here are some recent photos of my Case 12031L. I need to get off my duff and give it a good cleaning. There are plenty more I could show.

Ahhhh! The re-emergence of Dan In Mi, nice to "see" you again, nice knife! Hope you are doing well.

I am doing pretty okay. Good to be back!

Today I gathered up my electrician's knives for a family portrait.
