Well last week this thread threw a craving on me to get a TL-29 to carry sometimes, I won't carry the above one that belonged to my dad for fear of losing it, so one night last week I tossed a bid that even I thought was low on one on Ebay, and danged if I didn't win this one.
It's a Camillus 27, brand new/unused, still in the factory packaging with smooth brown Delrin scales, and it may be the best "deal" I ever got on a knife, I won it for a whole $6.50!

There seem to be a lot of Camillus TL-29s on ebay, probably more than any other brand. I have gotten used ones for as little as $2.00 each with shipping, in a lot buy. Ironically the Camillus seem to be of better quality than many other TL-29 knives available.
You got a good deal Chris, congratulations!
Enjoy your new knife, it has great carbon steel in the blade.

Hello;
Just received this from a friend today. It isn't like either of the two Remingtons on page one. I thought Remco could enlighten us some on it. It has the same tang stamp as another rem I have which id's to mid 30's. The handle is wood the bail is missing. The liner lock extends the full length of blade trough. Needs a good cleaning. My guess to model would be something like r2101. There is no r number at all.

I STAND FOR OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM
Great Remington WB!
I am still looking for a Remington, a Winchester and an Empire to go in my TL-29 collection. I have about 28 other brands, but those three have eluded me so far.

Kaleb,
I would be happy to trade you out of the Powrkraft & Proto.
Those are two that I don't have yet. I have 31 other brands, but not those two. Wanna trade or sell?
An even more difficult question is what do I do with all the screwdriver blades after I have modified them?

I was reading back through this thread today and came upon the discussion (page two of this thread) as to the origin of the TL-29s with the M. Klein tang stamp. I do have some updated information.
I was talking recently with Tom Williams (CAMCO) and he said that Camillus did make the M. Klein TL-29s for a few years. This information doesn't answer all questions raised on page two, but it does add some interesting additional info.
Also in looking back through this thread I noticed that no one had yet posted a bone handled TL-29. According to Michael Silvey’s book "Pocket Knives of the United States Military" there were a few of them made by PAL Blade Co. The ones he shows are both marked U. S. Army, one on the pile tang of the main blade, the other by etch on the screwdriver tang.
Recently I was able to purchase one of these knives on eBay. However, my example does not have the U.S. Army stamp on it. If the tang was etched it has long since worn off. There are no markings on the pile side of the knife and the main blade is pretty worn.
Nonetheless, it is a welcome addition to my collection, being the only example in my collection of a bone handled TL-29.

Re: TL-29 Electricians Knives
I like the old TL-29 camillus as well. What type of steel did they use? Seems hard to sharpen when brand new, but once you get the profile down a bit, they can be like a razor.

Re: TL-29 Electricians Knives
I looked at the entire TL-29 thread. Nice Knives.
I did not see a Robeson. I could of missed one, don't know. So, here is my one and only WWII Robeson TL-29.
Notice that it has no bail. It never did. However, I've seen Robeson TL-29's with a bail, so I
guess I need to find a nice one.
Robeson made the knife after the war as a civilian item. It's pattern number was 222030,
shown below.
As my dad was an electrician, I have some of his, still. There's a Camillus, a Holub and a Klein.
His black handled Camillus was actually part of a lineman's set with knife and pliers in a leather
two compartment pouch. I'm sure it was post war, though, as the pliers were made by Boker.
The three pieces are not together, but they're all here somewhere. It'd take me a bit of
searching to get them all together again.
I don't know why these photos came out so large. They are only 3"x3" in my photo program,
and all my other picture posts come out correctly.

Re: TL-29 Electricians Knives
I believe the steel is 0170-6C, known as Carbon V by Cold Steel and known as CV by Case. The original steel name is 50100-B, one of the most common steels in he industry at least when Schrade and Camillus were in business. I would have to guess that 440A is the most common now coming out of China.blueskat wrote:I like the old TL-29 camillus as well. What type of steel did they use?
