Beautiful knife Doc, but the beat thing was you putting a smile on your father's face. I'll bet he proudly shows that knife to anybody who will listen!

Good looking work, Doc!

One of the last I did. First time doing file work. Think the scales were root beer jigged bone form Culpepper.

This one was fun, first try at a combination scale. Think the wood was cherry burl, and stag from Culpepper. Slightly better file work lol.

This one I really regret selling. Don't remember the exact type of bone it was, got it from Culpepper. It looked good going on, but once I started polishing it out, it started to look amazing. I had great depth, if that's a thing.

Re: TL-29 mods thread... Let's put 'em here
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.

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)

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 ?

Re: TL-29 mods thread... Let's put 'em here
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....LOLToejammer wrote: ↑Mon Jul 20, 2020 12:46 am Is it just me, or have the prices of TL-29's gone crazy ?

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.....

Re: TL-29 mods thread... Let's put 'em here
Nice work on that green linen micarta Glenn!
That diamond shield really adds a lot!
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!

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.Toejammer wrote: ↑Mon Jul 20, 2020 12:46 am Is it just me, or have the prices of TL-29's gone crazy ?
