Here's a pic from a Camillus catalog that Dean found a while back.

Is the Camillus Rope knife and the Linesman jack pretty much the same other than the length ?

There was a Rope knife like the lineman's jack only longer, WW era production I think.
There was also a coast guard knife.

These are my TL-29's, the bottom one is military issue.
There was another but it left a note and ran away. :o
Utica is currently making a carbon steel electricians knife in the U.S. I might have to check that one out some day.

Nice group of TL-29s David
Thanks for the links too, especially the discussion on AAPK
I use to search for Electrician knives at garage sales, flea markets, etc
I often found the TL-29 with the locking tab all buggered up, preventing a firm lock up of the screwdriver blade

It appears as though whomever had it took a file(or possibly a fine toothed saw)and cut the grooves.Not quite symmetrical but decent as it must have been fairly difficult to do.
Here are some more.
Holub Sycamore Illinois.Not sure they were a manufacturer;probably a distributor.
Imperial.
Kingston(a fairly rare one as they weren't in business very long.Mostly known for metal handled military utility knives.
M.Klein & Sons 3 blade. The odd blade is used for something electrical but I can't recall what exactly.

Last ones:
Schrade-Walden wood handles electrician's knife.
Not sure this one is an electrician's knife.The saw blade would indicate it is likely a gardener's knife but the frame is the same so I thought I'd toss it in.The pruner blade could be used to strip wires.
A Utica Kutmaster with faux jigged bone handles.
Xellite.Not sure who made this;maybe Schrade or Camillus.

Holub--might be Schrade, as I've seen a Craftsman three blade supposedly made by them that had those strippers in the screwdriver blade, and secondly, I've seen more traditional Holubs attributed to Schrade, and Camilus too.
Nice Kingston--only Kingstons I've seen are like you say, metal handled, a Stockman, the utility knives, and I think a jack too.
As for the Klein, that's a Romex stripper, or so I've heard. I do believe that's exclusive to Klein branded Kutmasters.

Here's some of mine, decided to start with Kutmaster, as most of my electrician/hawkbill/rope knives are by them.
First up, hawkbill and rope:
First is a "Klein Tools" by Kutmaster; was my grandfather's in the coal mines in the Jewell Ridge, VA area in the mid '70s to early '80s. I got it barely a year ago, and it's hooked me on hawkbills.
Kutmaster made USGC Survival/Raft Knife by Kutmaster, which uses a hawkbill frame, and has a big beefy sheepsfoot and can opener--note tang stamp is ground off and no bail, I got it for eight bucks as a factory second brand new. Someone managed to drill two holes on one side for the bail, and a bail wasn't even put on, I think I can find a scrap hawkbill for the bail, as there's still a hole in the right place on the other side for a bail. It's a favorite for farm EDC, as whatever Kutmaster uses for their stainless is great stuff.
"M. Klein and Sons" hawkbill, unknown maker (I suspect Camillus or Ulster). It predates the "Klein Tools" by at least 10 years or so, and likely comes from the early sixties. According to Kutmaster, that extra pin behind the bail pin means they didn't make it. It belonged to a coal miner friend of mine who carried it underground attached to his belt with a carabiner. The reason it was retired from use was that the bail broke off.

Great knives Cody! The history makes them priceless(to me anyway).I have two old Imperial Kamp Kings that belonged to my grandfather(who raised me)who passed away in 1965 and they are priceless.
That Kutmaster USCG knife is unusual;don't recall ever seeing one and the price was great!
To me the stories behind the knives are the most important. For the last several years on and of I have been working on a book about some of the 3000 odd knives I have that have stories behind them. Hopefully it will be finished before I am.

The rest of my Kleins and Kutmasters.
Klein-Kutmaster Coping Knife, liner locking. Purchased for $3 at a local flea market this past summer.
Klein-Kutmaster Coping Knife, non locking. Given to me by the same guy that gave me the hawkbill. Engraved "Abingdon Wholesale Plumbing and Electric Supply Co". Oddly, the blade somehow became magnetized, pretty strongly, actually. It and the other are frequent EDC knives.
Klein-Kutmaster Coping Knife, non locking. Came from the same individual as the other Klein Hawkbill and coping knife It's beat up pretty bad, and the blade's been in electricity. Been meaning to dress that bad chip out, but haven't had the time.
Kutmaster Electrician's Knife. It was my great-uncles EDC from the 1960s until his passing (literally, right up until the day he passed). He modded this one, and a few others to have two master blades, one is thinner than the other, as it was used in a yarn factory to clean up tangled reels. I inherited it shortly after his passing from my great aunt. I never carry or use it, but do keep it clean and oiled.

For the price (despite being Chinese made, the price here for them is actually more than the USA made Bear and Son or Kutmaster/Klein/Proto TL-29s), there are far better options.

I'll stick to the Kutmaster/Klein/Proto TL-29's then.
For more $ I would at least want a better steel & I don't need a locking main blade.

Not sure who made this one as the tang stamp is unreadable;possibly Canton Cutlery Co. or Novelty Cutlery Co. Picture handle knife with the logo ITE Circuit Breaker. Not sure if that is the company name or what they sold.Not quite a TL-29 but definitely an electrician's knife.

Just saw the completed listing, you stole those two :o :like: :tu:

That listing started out as an auction with a $9.95 starting bid. I was watching it because it was obvious even to those with limited knowledge that the Ulster and the Camillus together were worth several times more than that. Then the listing was removed :rant:
It reappeared with the $60 buy it now price. By this time I had educated myself some and knew that it would not last long at that price. I immediately bought them.
The Ulster is in slightly worse shape than I realized, but the Cammy is in even better shape than I thought :D

:iagree: thanks for sharing Adam, I have been a bit obsessed over TL-29s the last few weeks. This is a Colonial I have been working on. Old snap on scales were in shambles and the blades were loose as can be.

Here is a pre ‘72 M Klein & Sons that had a terribly chipped blade I tried to salvage, and ended up converting it to a single blade. [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ] It seems like there are a lot of these great knives laying around in partial disrepair that can be brought back.

:iagree: thanks for sharing Adam, I have been a bit obsessed over TL-29s the last few weeks. This is a Colonial I have been working on. Old snap on scales were in shambles and the blades were loose as can be.

Here is a pre ‘72 M Klein & Sons that had a terribly chipped blade I tried to salvage, and ended up converting it to a single blade.

Nice work :tu:
There are definitely plenty of them out there needing a little work and available for a good price. Once I have completed my move and have a work area set up, I plan to start working on some I have.
