I thought Klein knives confined themselves to TL-29 & small rope knives. Here are a few & a small lockback & tanto-style liner lock; both made in Japan.
Anyone else have an unusual Klein?

Re: Klein Tool Co.
Back in college I was a union iron worker on the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore. I was a rodman, tying re-bar rods in the deck. On my left hip I had a reel of wire in a Klein reel and in my right hand a a pair of Klein "EZ Cut" wire pliers. I spent all day bent over, wiring re-bar mats, or carrying bundles
of bars from the drop points out to the work area. My first day I showed up with some other brand of pliers and one grizzly rod-man grabbed them and threw them overboard and sold me an extra pair he had. I was as lean and strong that summer like I've never been since. Klein was the only brand those union guys would tolerate on the job. They were USA made then. Don't think so now. That was 50 years ago, the summers of '73 and '74. J.O'.
