My Trusty Pocket-Knife

[SwampWolf]

That's the title of an article authored by Roy Berendson, a test editor for the Popular Mechanics magazine. The article described his decades long experience with the TL-29 knife, "...a simple, single-blade pocketknife that handles well, sharpens easily, and has a fold-out screwdriver that locks in place." According to Mr. Berendson, this iconic knife "...has had several manufacturers, including such well-known companies as Camillus and Imperial Schrade...".

Just curious if anybody here has had any experience with this knife.

A fairly recent Camillus and a somewhat older kutmaster.

Yep. For 27 years I carried one hanging from the clip on my Electrician's tool pouch. It wasn't the same knife for the whole 27 years though - pocket knives hanging on an Electrician's tool pouch tend to get lost or stolen fairly often.

I have an unused Colonial brand version in the "pile of knives" drawer. Pretty sure there's a Camillus version in one of my tool bags as well.

Actually just got one for Christmas. Last one I had, I lost over 50 years ago. Brings back a lot of memories.
