Electrician knife

[rinos]

by the look more painters then electricians knife
it is pretty used(not too abused) tool but little neglected,thought it was stainless blade,after removing all that paint,dings and scratches it turned out it has nice wood handle(grenadill,or something else that smells like chocolate ) and good old carbon steel

together with SAK el. and other more common electrician knife.

Great job on that. My GEC #15 has me looking into electricians knives. Having that flathead blade is more useful than I realized. I love how the handles turned out on that. I would have never thought they would come out so nice.

Great clean-up job :thumbup: I've seen the knife on the right on sale in tool shops here, very inexpensive.

Don't see too many of the Utica TL's. Nice honest used knife!

I love the old electrician patterns and I have seen them in the hands of many tradesmen, "mechanics" as they were once called, not just those who made electrician their profession. Most were made of good materials and designed to be stout for years of service. Nice recovery of one which at first glance appeared to have covers in relic condition. :thumbup:

I love a good electrician's knife. I got one like that for myself for work, but it's a Camco brand.

Outstanding job saving that knife! It cleaned up very well. One day I hope to own a TL-29 as my wife's Grandfather was a lineman in WWII. It would be nice to own one and be able to show it to my boys. I need to start scouring gunshows & pawnshops lol.

Wow would not even recognize it as the same knife. Good job.

Nice job Rino! I love the TL-29's. Many were used by painters and craftsmen because back in the day they were cheaply had, and tough as nails. Open a paint can, no problem! Scrape putty or window glazing, yup, they take it in stride. Nice find on that fine tool :thumbup:

Great job on the clean-up. Always fun to bring a knife back to life.
