Joseph Rodgers Sheffield Electricians Folding Knife

[abiggs]

Does anyone know anything about this company? I love the looks of the knife but for the price they go for I want to make sure that I'm getting a decent knife. If you Google the title of the thread, you will see some for sale on an un-named auction site that I can't post a link to. I love the style of knife (TL-29) and this is a classed up version. If antyone has any experience with this company and can share I would appreciate it. Thanks

The knives made in Sheffield in the late 19th and early 20th centuries are among the finest production knives ever made and, of the cutlers in Sheffield, Joseph Rodgers was considered the best of the best.

Any idea about their current production quality?

Thanks anyway. Anyone else? It's a good looking knife but if that's all I don't want to spend the money on one.

There are at least a dozen or so electricians knives a day listed on the bay, Camillus made a great 29 and they can be found in using condition for dirt cheap.

300bucks, I have the same reddish brown Camillus you have pictured. That thing will hold an edge beautifully. They show up pretty regularly at the gun shows I frequent. A working man's knife. Nice collection sir.
