All About Pocket Knives

WOW! Great work!

Great work toejammer. But that last one, oh my!

Thanks all !

If I remember correctly, that third one might have been green bone scales. I always shop Culpeppers sale / discount page, so with my luck, I'll probably not see that specific bone / jig pattern again.

I've got three Camillus TL-29's coming soon from eBay, so we'll see if I remember how to do this.

Nice looking knives TJ!

Hey TJ....
What method are you using to post pictures?
I can see everyone's pictures here but yours.
All I see is a number. And when I click the number, our stupid firewall here won't let me see your pics.
I am just wondering why I can't see your pics but I can see everyone else's pics without a problem.
(I sure would like to see your work)

I'm gonna go out on a limb here...I think that's your best one yet! I love the green micarta and the shield inlay looks flawless. Very well done!

WOW... great job Glenn.

Glenn, is that burlap micarta?

Thanks everyone!

David, yes, that is green burlap micarta.

Is it just me, or have the prices of TL-29's gone crazy ? I'm seeing barely serviceable offerings on eBay going for $20 up. I used to snag these up for $9 + shipping all day.

Is it the customizers (us) driving up the price, or did these all of a sudden get really collectible ?

There must be some way for the ebay sellers to know there is 5 or 6 of us here on AAPK that want these so we can modify them....LOL
.
I have seen what you are saying.
I have seen some of the lesser grades start out with a buy-it-now of $49.....
If it has a Camillus or Schrade tang stamp.... watch out.....

Awesome job Glenn!!

Nice work on that green linen micarta Glenn!
That diamond shield really adds a lot!

They have been talked about quite a bit in places other than AAPK and they been talked about a whole lot here. There were fun to collect with a big bang for your buck. Less than $10 would get you a nearly new knife that would last you a lifetime.

After the Camillus sale I bought 100 new Camillus TL-29s I think in that quantity I got them for $3 or $5 apiece, I don't remember exactly because I bought them in to lots of 50 and the price was slightly different. Went back to the seller for a 3rd time to buy some more and he was totally out all within about a 2 week period.

I about choke every time I look at it Camillus TL-29 on eBay with 40% blade loss and the screwdriver blade that someone has attempted to make a knife blade out of on a bench grinder... then they want $50 for it!

Glennbad, that is a great looking knife

Thank you!

New one finished. Just discovered Kirinite, and I love it ! Finished this in pearl white kirinite and black linen micarta. No filework, basically because it's been awhile and I need practice on some spare back springs. Not great, but I managed to get things symmetrical this time. And first try with a new Lansky sharpener system. (more practice I need lol)

Looking good!

I like it! Has a classy look to it.

Thanks all ! I try to get a little better each time, but I've yet to put it all together on one knife.
Hopefully if I get my sight back in my left eye I'll get a little better. Lack of depth perception sucks.
