Hows the quality on that Ric Nor? I had one, and it had to have been among the most poorly made knives I had.

I really like that first Holub. Unfortunately, extremely hard to find. Most look like a standard Delrin handle Schrade.

I think it is typical of the inexpensive shell handled knives of the era.Depends a great deal on what you use it for;it is NOT a heavy duty knife per se.My only complaint with it is the size of the handle when using the screwdriver blade;a bit small.

And as if I didn't have ENOUGH electrician's knives another one darkened my doorstep today. Went over to the final day(of the season)of the local flea market and found a Camillus etched with the Xcelite brand on the blade for a whopping $2! Some minor spider webbing on the blades but they are unsharpened and should clean up fairly easily.
