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.

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.

Sorry, I am just now noticing, @JamieM . This is one of the best looking products I have seen, or best looking to me.

I'm not really knife guy but I have two. One I know is junk, and maybe the other is junk too.

And the other one, which I imagine is junk. Opens Amazon packages quite well though.

Thank you, it's certainly a very practical knife.

These two have been earning their keep this week, especially in the recycling department, mostly cutting cardboard but also a few other tougher materials. There has been a noticeable fall-off in sharpness from the Microjimbo, CPM S30V, not so much from the Para 2 CPM 15V. Gave them a refresher on the TSPROF Kadet, tried out the new TSPROF Kadet Glide Hinge Unit, and compared it to the older version - wow! What a difference that makes.

Can anyone identify this one? It's not one that you see every day.
