Just found this hiding in a box at home. A Camillus 2 blade electrician's lock blade from the late 1970s into the 1980s going by the tang stamp. Lovely honest workman's folding knife. I think I'll give it a sharpening and see what it can do.

My grandfather used them.

I love it.

I have a similar one (a french knock-off) from my late grand father. Overloaded with tins and whistles : corkscrew, awl, rule, can opener...

I like the simplicity of the original TL-29 design.

The original blade was broken : a pocket knife was often the only available tool around, when anything needed to be done. I remember often seeing him using his pocket knives as screwdrivers or crowbars.

I had the blade replaced at my local cobbler/sharpener/DE razors dealer :

I am finding the Thuringian to provide better knife honing results.

I’ve been carrying this since I got it for volunteer work. Today I sanded down the honest wear and using 1000, 1500 grit and Mothers.

This is a new, to me, Milwaukee spring assist Tanto.
