Ricky I put a answer on a mini microscope on you other post.You will find the microscope very handy to read tang stamps checking for cracks in bone .After looking at bone and delrin handles you will soon know the difference.I use mine all the time.
Hope this helps.

I always thought that the 29, as in TL-29 was a military designation regardless of brand, and that the various brands all had their own pattern numbers.

Those electrician knives make dandy edc's. Good score.

It is Delrin.
The only bone handled TL-29s Camillus made have jigged Roghers bone handles and 4 line tang stamps.
Here is one of mine-

Very nice Lineman's set Vit, I've got one just like it, except my pliers are H. Boker. The TE-33 designation, does that refer to the complete three-piece set?
