Hey! What are the covers on that Colonial 3-blade electrician? They remind me of the covers on this Holub electrician I have, but I have no idea what the covers on mine are made of. Mine kind of reminds me of old rotary telephone receivers (Bakelite?), but with smoky, swirly red and black instead of matte black like our phone in the 50s and 60s when I was a kid.

But is he listening?

I'm good as long as there is no cap lifters. I wouldn't even mind a saw.

I don't know, but you're correct they look very similar.

If you look at Levine's 2nd to last paragraph, it appears there is some historical lineage here.

3 spring jack?
Stockman setup?
Whittler setup?
Liner lock?
Saw/no saw?

So many questions.

I, for one, am hoping to see this as a 3-spring Jack. I think a stockman is more realistic though.

It’s interesting that the “E” designated blade (whatever that’s going to look like) is the main blade (per the pattern number). Makes me think the two sheepsfoot blades will be smaller and on opposite ends.

I’m curious to see what this thing looks like. I’m not particularly excited about the cover options.

Seeing the prices on the last run, an this being a more complicated knife, I expect it to hit the $200 mark, at the more reasonable dealers.

$300 if they do camel bone

Thanks for the response. I wish I could find out what that stuff is.

Anyone knows if that saw on E-blade was/is for wood or for steel?

From the photo waverave posted, (post #3) it looks like the "E" blade is to cut drywall, maybe wood panneling, tho it looks a mite coarse for the latter, to me.

Saws (that work) with bottle openers too, as mentioned earlier.

That's more palatable than a lone caplifter. Pretty nifty

I heard the “e blade” is actually a folding usb flash drive with a pdf image of a blade on it. You can modify the pdf to a caplifter if you would like.

I actually LOLed!

I think it probably does have the drywood cutter. I was an electrician and that is not practical at all we used those razor blade knives to strip it and klein's tools to do the rest...and the drywood thing a hand saw to get in there not no little knife...lol!!! yet still yes I want one.

Journeyman - like Steve Perry ?!

Don't give them any ideas about a jump drive
