I picked these up at a yard sale. The two in the picture that have plastic handles in the picture that has 3 knives are Camillus, the other with a wood handle is Utica. The single one with a wood handle is made by Boker. Any thoughts?

I have a couple like the one in the top photo marked CAMILLUS NEW YORK USA

 

it's a USN electrician's pocket knife, one of mine is marked TL - 29

 

they have smooth black plastic grips, and has three brass pieces inside

I dont see a TL 29 on them. What about the Utica one?

 

the UTICA one looks like the blade is extremely worn? it looks like the same type as the Camillus knives

 

some were marked TL-29 and some were not

unless the electrician knives are marked with TL-29 or US GOVERMENT either on blade or handle they commercial civilian blades and the other jackknife is commercial as well.The Us navy used a jackknife similar but slightly different blade configuaration on the bureau of aeronautics specification M-575.
