Other "working" military knives.

I just ordered (and expect delivery before Monday) an unissued, Camillus (pre-2007 closure) TL-29 "Electricians knife". This military knife is one of their better efforts because this has the 0170-6C steel blades (essentially a 1095 Carbon Steel blade with added Chromium and Vanadium for corrosion resistance and durability).

This takes me back to my days in Navy Aviation at USNAS Whidbey Island (Ault Field). These folding knives were available on an "as needed" basis by the Squadron (Ship's) Store.

Does anyone else have any experience with this old knife?

Here's my lot.
Top two are Camillus. The black plastic one at top is Navy issue from the VN era I believe. The other one is WWII era.
Third is an unmarked Ulster.
Fourth on is a WWII era Case.https://www.milsurps.com/images/impo...d854de28-1.jpg

I found a couple around doing service here not that many years back. One I found out in the local training area that had been lost a short time before. The other was in stores without a job. They still issue them in some places I guess.

These knives have been "in service" prior to WW1. The military still issues these knives.
