Dads resto-mod TL-29

Post by caddyman1973 »

Hey guys. I've been kickin' around down in the shop for a day or two and tell me what you think about this one. A stripped and gutted TL-29 with Stellers seacow bone handles, rust brown spacers, nickel pins and rear bolsters. Oh yeah, and I made an easy opener out of it. It's dads fathers day gift. He's got arthritis and I thought the easy open notch would work good for him. This one will have a twin before long thats going in MY knife roll. Check it out.

Nice work, there.

I am working on one as well, but I'm keeping the liner lock.

I like the seacow bone, very sharp.

It looks good Bill. ::tu:: ::tu::
The TL-29 is very versatile, you can do lot with that one knife.

I like that sea cow bone. I have a piece I have been holding on to for 3 or 4 years.
I will have to use it. It looks better than I thought it would.

Nice work,
