Camillus Electricians Knife TL-29 single pin as shown in 1977 Found at an antique mall. Bob
blades and the backsprings are carbon steel. The bolsters are nickel silver, and the screwdriver is supposed to be sharp about 2/3 of the way from tang to tip, it's used to strip insulation from wires.
The steel is 1095. and has smooth black composition handles.

Very nice knife there, MrWatch.
The Camillus Tl29 is a a favorite of mine/ours around here.
It is a sturdy, useful, well made hunk of knife.
I and others have several. Testament to their genus.
Enjoy your's and get some more. They're worth it.

I was issued a Camillus TL-29 just like that one around 1971 in the Marine Corps.
I still have it.

I haven't found the right one yet but I also like them. A lot!
Actually, I am quite the Camillus fan.
Thanks for the details Mr. Watch. It's nice to know what I am looking at.

I picked this one up over the weekend. Didn't have one with this blade arrangement, so added it to my Camillus family. A double line tang stamp Camillus TL29BX All Trade Knife. It comes with the locking screwdriver, Hawkbill blade, & simulated woodgrain delrin handles with a bail. Very little use, all blades are tight, great snap, and positive half stops. The bail was a little tarnished and the only part of the knife that needed any cleaning. Not bad for two Sawbucks.
