On my way to the V.A. on Thursday I had a wiring issue with my Wheel chair while at the Bus transit station. I fixed the problem in under 5 minutes using my R.R. Small Tiger stripe Toothpick that I keep in my EDC Assault pack. That little knife saved my butt. Looked at Electricians knife on SMKW when I got home. So I'm Really glad you made this Video today. Thank you Tobias, Keep the great content coming.

Congrats on a great score Tobias. Always fun to pick up a long sought after knife. Thanks for showing us and another short but interesting knife history lesson too. Nice addition to the collection.

My step-son is a Master Electrician. I'd like to find one of these because he really appreciates vintage items. Thanks for the video.

What memories this brings back. Reminds me of the days when I was an electrician for the Galactic Empire. Another great video!

Really cool T.. you could probably win a few bets asking someone to close that screwdriver blade. 😂👍. Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing, sir.

First time I have seen an electricians knife using that lock design, a lot of knives out there, thanks for the video, Tobias.

Very cool! I found the back spring lock interesting. I wish I better understood how back spring locks work internally. Glad you found one of these knives and got it for a deal!!!

That style of knife was often in the pocket of tradesmen of the 1960’s

What an education!!! Loving ur channel more and more!! When I was a kid in high school (class of 75) . Teacher sold us one of the Camillus made electrician knives… Here I am interested in knives and I just sort of don’t give that one much thought … until now. Thanks for making history interesting Tobias. And what an interesting knife . I never seen that on a knife with that spring, unlocking a blade.. again what an education!!

@KnifeChatswithTobias 2 месяца назад

Wow! Class of '75! And the teacher was selling knives to students! LOL. Times sure have changed! Glad you're enjoying the channel. Thanks for the kind words and cool anecdote.

This is the first one I've ever seen Tobias I love it good find Brother

@KnifeChatswithTobias 2 месяца назад

Thanks. It's been a long hunt. Of course I'm still looking for one with the elusive "SC-USA" shield that I can afford but this one definitely makes me smile and there is the parable of a "Bird in the hand"

If it only can talk. What stories can it tell? Was it always in a kitchen or desk drawer? Did it travel around the world or around the states? What sort of work did it perform? And who and how many owned it? I see knives like this and that's what goes through my mind.
