Pretty good score! Looks like a couple of cool projects, and priced right too. The Electricians knife is going to clean up nice. No stores like that around me, makes it hard knife hunting. Very cool.👍👍👍
I've looked at antique stores and peddlers malls in my area. Those are usually too high or not what I'm interested in. This was the first pawn shop that I've checked out. Thanks for watching!👍🏻
Awesome Holub Sycamore ILL USA TL-29 Electricians knife! Camillus made most of the electrician knives for SFO's and other brands. Holub was possibly made by Schrade but more likely Camillus. Tom Williams, who was the Camillus Historian and who worked for Camillus for 30 years. Camillus would frequently make knives for Schrade, but very rarely did it work where Schrade made them for Camillus, if ever. Tom said Schrade didn't make knives for Camillus. Schrade may have made some parts for a Camillus run if they were short, but that was very rare, however Camillus made tons of parts for Schrade. You see the construction of Schrade and Camillus were different, Schrade was the only company that used the Swinden system, Camillus didn't have that. Some parts, like blades and springs would be interchangeable, but if Schrade made a Camillus knife it would necessarily have the Swinden key system in it. It would require expensive setup to do that, so it was not economically feasible for Schrade to make a few thousand knives for Camillus. Schrade was so adamant about the Swinden system they would not change Buck knives from Swinden to non-Swinden even though Buck loved the knives Schrade made for them, but they had difficulties repairing them because of the Swinden key. Rather than make non-Swinden knives Albert Baer referred them to Camillus and the Buck contract was one of the major factors in keeping Camillus solvent as long as it was. Buck was a major portion of the Camillus annual production. www.allaboutpocketknives.com/knife_forum/viewtopic.php?t=48032
I have a knife that looks exactly like that electricians knife you showed (I never knew that's what my knife was) but mine says camillus New York USA on it.
All knives you are able to acquire are good - just some are better than others. I like your knife haul.
Exactly!😄
Thanks for watching.👍🏻
Cool, that little Boker is the one I would like 😊
Check it out after it got cleaned up!!😃
Some neat finds!!
First time trying a pawn shop.👍🏻
Nice find at the pawn shop. I bet they will clean up nice. 👍
Thanks! I'm hoping so.🙂
Ol Kevin has taught me a lot too! Seems like a genuinely good man too.
Yes he does! Seems to be very genuine. And I've learned alot from him.👍🏻
Make a coping blade out of the broken blade, it's almost there anyway. Great video brother!
Yeah, that was an easy one!😃
Nice finds. Love the color of the scales on that Holub’👍
Thanks! It cleaned up really well, too.👍🏻

That boker looks like stag handle to me . That’s nice
Thanks for the video! Subbed!
Thanks for checking it out and thanks for the sub! I appreciate that!!😃👍🏻
I just cleaned up a Holub electrician knife. But spear point.
I had never heard of the brand before I saw this one. Seems pretty well built.
I just found the exact model of electrician's knife at an antique shop for 13 bucks.
Wow! Good find!!😃👍🏻
Awesome finds!
Yeah I'm pleased with how they're turning out so far. Thanks for the sub!
Sub'd you back.😉👍🏻

Thanks so much for all the info. That's very helpful.😃👍🏻

Maybe you could talk slower or take longer to get your point across!?
