Re: TL-29 Electricians Knives
I thought I would share my little hoard of Electrician's Knives. Though they're not TL-29's this thread seems appropriate. With the exception of one, they are all with the double cut screw-driver blade, all are American made except the Wostenholm I-XL. I do have others of the more modern design, think TL-29, but they are not shown here. I included the Schrade TL-29 type because I think it is of the same era.

Re: TL-29 Electricians Knives
Yes it is, Greg, along with the CATT. and the Empire you sent me. The Remington has the lock release on the other side of knife which is unusual. I won't say that the Rem. and the Catt. are rare, but they are uncommon.gsmith7158 wrote:Very nice Tj! That double end Remington is special.
Welp, I'll tell ya Tommy, I got the tools but you'll have to find the talent sommers else.

Re: TL-29 Electricians Knives
I paid $128 for that one, and though I hate spending that much on a knife, I was very happy to get it. The knife is very solid and snaps like Oprah's false teeth on a chicken bone.

Re: TL-29 Electricians Knives
That's pretty high dollar when you think about what you can get a Camillus for but if you want those nice elite knives ya gotta loosen up those purse strings.

I guess that just shows how often I read this thread. Didn't even notice the date on Charlie's post. That's just my OCD kickin' up again.

Re: TL-29 Electricians Knives
Yep, your right, especially when I'm used to getting ten nice, bone handled, U.S.A knives for that price. But I've always gone by the old saying that you should always buy the very best that your wife can afford.gsmith7158 wrote:That's pretty high dollar when you think about what you can get a Camillus for but if you want those nice elite knives ya gotta loosen up those purse strings.

Re: TL-29 Electricians Knives
What an outstanding Schrade! This tells me somebody's sitting on a stockpile of unissued old TL-29s somewhere.

Re: TL-29 Electricians Knives
I've been checking and cleaning up a few of my knives lately and ran out of the ones I actively collect. Now I'm into the ones that kind of piggy backed in on some groups I purchased or found them at rummage sales for too cheap to not buy. A few I bought for the name like the Winchester and Empire and the Remington I just liked and it was fairly inexpensive. The left drawer starting top left is a Ka-Bar, Red Devil, Red Devil, Remington with lock, Unmarked, Catt., Catt., Catt., Top Right; Unmarked European style, Sword Brand, Empire, Winchester, Camillus 4 line XELA, Schrade Cut, Schrade Walden.
Second drawer; XL29 Ulster knife, (large size), XL29 Ulster knife (small size), Klien & Sons, Case XX, Camillus Long line, Camillus, Camillus NY, Boker USA (Xcelite etch), Camco, Colonial, Prov. RI, across bottom are 6 Camillus with various markings. ____Dave
