Electrician's knife blade modifications...any pics out there?

[bdev]

Anybody have pics of modified electrician's knife screwdriver blades?
There are so many inexpensive electrician's knives out there and the screwdriver blade looks like it could be modified into other patterns.

There are quite a few nice modded TL-29s that you can find by using the 'Search' function

Tried search before I posted but came up with nothing using "electricians modification". What did you use?

bdev, far better than this sites search function is google. type into google search "electrician modifications site:bladeforums.com" (or whatever you're searching for with "site:bladeforums.com" in front) and it will search bladeforums for anything related. I did the search and got some results that might interest you :thumbup:

20 years ago now, my father was a corrugated boxboard designer/engineer. When he made samples he used the screwdriver blade as modified to crease and score the corrugated for folding in making samples. This craftsman T-29 has been used hard and has a lot of wobble in the blades, and is relegated to its place in my collection of user tools and knives. I really like the spear main.

You may have to dig around a bit bdev, possibly trawl through the modified production blades thread. There's a few mods and lots of interesting reading here:
