Hey guys I'm looking for a pre 1945 engineers (electricians) knife, there are so many I see on ebay and other places they have to be fakes, what is the correct pattern for a pre 1945 example? I would love to pick one up!

Type "TL-29" into google. You will find endless information on that knife. Often, it is called a Linesman's Knife. They were made from before WWII until .... well ... today.

There are endless varieties, manufacturers, and small differences. Prices, too.

Have fun,

OK, thank you Dave, how do you tell pre and post 1945? Ideally I would like a pioneers / engineers knife (werhmacht)
