Camillus made Buck. Just Like a Remington or I think they made for Sears and other brands. Just a good solid no frills knife. I miss Camillus.

That's a beauty, despite no frills.

That's an interesting Barlow for sure. As a non-electrician, I have always wondered why all the old electricians knives have that brass press lock plate thing. Is that a safety thing to make sure the knife doesn't collapse when stripping wire?

The lock on the electrician knife is on the screwdriver. Which makes sense, since you press into the screw, and that could easily come back at you.

Thank you for the info! That makes total sense.
