Modded TL-29? Looks great! Hard to tell that, originally, it was a basic, inexpensive workhorse folder.

I'm looking at having Jeff do a few for me. I've got a stainless Camillus Electrician (seems to haven't seen much use) I plan to have similar looking bone put on (seems the one I have got exposed to some chemical--scales on the pile side are eaten pretty badly, and it's a 1990s Delrin knife); the others are Boker. Some guy decided to reprofile the screwdrivers to fit a Phillips screw, but it's a crude job. Thus, I'm having the screwdrivers completely removed and the knives pared down to one-bladed jacks--the knives themselves, excluding the crude mod job are like new with factory edges, thus they are very good candidates.

Hi cody, it a Camillus Electricians Knife - Modified from the listing. He replaced the bone and cleaned up the knife really well, looks great!

Got a couple off the bay. A Remington booklet "Things to do WITH A POCKET KNIFE" printed in 1935. A neat little pamphlet about whittling. Cool adds in it and some interesting whittling info. Also a no line Camillus 72. I've never seen this tang stamp before. More 72 pics in the 72 thread.

Kool pick-ups Floyd.. I do like old knife paper.. That 72 has nice bone color!!!

Beautiful bone on the 72, Floyd. You don't show it open. Is it a First Gen? The "no line" stamps were from sometime in the 1940's - early 1950s. That's just speculation. Don't know any details on them. They're from the "seldom seen" class.

Thanks John. I am very pleased with the look of the bones. It has some good stuff on whittling but the adds are interesting to me too.

Thanks Jerry.

VERY nice Floyd!

Yesterday's trek to the post office produced these three pocket knives. A Boker U.S.A., wire jack, hawkbill pruner. A Camillus DURA-TOOL and a Camillus 72 (72Y), Yello-Jaket, 3 blade, swelled center, "whittler." Each received an inspection and none of them needed cleaning or anything done to them at all. Here are the pictures.

Sweet pick ups Skip

Thank you John.

I just don't get why they usually ask more for the yellow Delrin handled Yello-Jaket 72s and usually they are in great condition as compared to the jigged brown Delrin® editions. Things that make ya go "huh?".

Looks like you're on a roll, Skip.

Got another Seki made A.G. Russell in today. Micarta handles w/ a red spacer. All stainless, blades, bolsters, liners and pins. The only thing not stainless is the hollow pin for the bail, it’s brass for some reason. A very fine old knife.

Another great knife Mark!

Yesterday's arrivals, these two Geo Schrade, single blade, wire jack, pocket knives. Neither needed any special care. Just a quick once over, some pictures taken and here they are.

Got this Gil Hibben "Tundra hunter" for xmas.
It's a big brawny knife.

The Hibben knives are great. Congratulations.

Thanks, some of his designs are kind of too weird for me.
Last year I got the Alaskan Boot Knife.

You're right. MOST of his designs are out there and the ones that are on the edge (between "out there" and what we consider "normal") seem to have a few sharp edges that are not on the blade.

Here's the ones I have.
