Toolbox Knives

[mp510]

I keep 3 knives in my tool box. Ones a Vic Spartan, my former EDC. The other is a Sheffield razor knife and the last is a small multi function promo knife (a la the mass market Stanley's c. 1970's) includng a pretty functional nail clipper.

I've got a Vic fisherman in mine, along with some yellow Barlow style knife that has no tang markings and a 'Ace Hardware' razor knife. The ones that get used the most, though, are two fixed blade pruning knives of unknown vintage or manufacture.

Nice pic - is that Italian marble?

Got the Sheffield, too, along with a cheap real Brit Sheffield folder along the lines of a bolsterless Buck 110 from the local hardware store bucket.

The fingernail clippers are a Diztler paint freebie from college many years ago.

The only knife I keep in my most of my tool boxes are razor knives. Figure I've always got an EDC in my pocket.

Except for the tool box with my electrician's pouch in it. The pouch has an electrician's knife with a hawkbill blade. Had it for ~30 years. When I was working remodels in the '70's we used to come across jobs with the old style romex that had a fiber reinforced outer shell. Needed a hawkbill blade to strip it down so we could splice into it. Still carry it in my pouch.

yes, it's antique Italian marble.

I keep a folding razor, a Leatherman Surge, and a Case hawbill in my toolbox.
