Thanks, I carry mine on a pretty regular basis. What has amazed me since starting this thread is the variation of them!

You had a Queen pictured in your post. Here are mine

For example the bottom one in your pic. I've never seen that type screwdriver before. Similar to a scouts screwdriver but longer. Does it lock? Pretty cool

@TXoutback I just bought a few of them to try my hand at putting new scales on a folder. I’ve gotten 3 Klein’s that have a bit of wiggle on the screwdriver blade, but I also have a colonial that locks up solid. The colonial is surprisingly nice. I’m not sure if I’ll take it apart or not, because at this point I don’t know that I will improve it.

No, it doesn't lock. I agree that there are so many different variations and offering in the electrician/TL-29/Radio/Linesman category. I'm always looking for something different. Here's a couple of Japanese made electricians. On top is a Monarch. One of my favorite knife purchases of all time. It was $10 new. I believe walnut handles, excellent F&F and smooth pulls on both blades. The one on the bottom is by Dale.

And here are a couple from Kabar.

Tim, I like the lighter color of your handles. Is it the lighting of your picture or is it a true representation? Very nice! Mine is darker coco like al the others I've seen.

Frank - here is a another pic that maybe a better representation. It is a little darker than it looks.

Here are three of mine... my favorite is the Queen at the bottom... for beer drinking electricians, I surmise... and, it's got the winterbottom bone handles...
The top one has since been converted to a single blade knife... much the same size as a GEC 15... with the broken screwdriver, it wasn't much use for "electrical" work.

Now that I've found the proper thread here's mine:

View attachment 1304774 I like this thing because I suck at stripping wire with a sharp blade. The large screw driver has a cap lifter. The file has a coarse and a fine side. The sticking out thing is a tweezers.

Bump Had this one awhile and completely forgot my own thread U.S.M.C. stamped Camillus tl29

My Buck Workman. Great for electrical work around the house.
