The tl-29 or electrician's knife. Most old companies made one, and the good ones were tough using knives. Normally they also had very good metal in them too. But, they're kind of the ugly ducklings of the knife world. Enter the conversion! A knife mechanic friend in the north east made these for me. He made them from old Camillus electrician's knives. He turned tem into bare head easy open jack knives. They are way sharp, snap that'll take off a finger, and half stops that'll throw your hand off the blades.

The single blade has marigold bone scales, and the two blade, green pick bone. On the two blade, he made the screwdriver into the secondary blade.

Thanks Raven. The old Camillus steel gets very sharp. I like these a lot they're really beefy and stand up well to work.

I'll bet they do, like razor blades on a handle.
