First off - I am in, but, probably not for the TL-29 conversion, since I already have a herd of knives sitting somewhere in your shop - one being for a similar conversion. I say that because I do not want to be greedy, but, that TL-29 conversion piece is one beautiful knife and has great craftsmanship!
I am one of the members that has been greatly impressed with Glenn's work and I just recently received a "very very special knife of mine" back from him. I wanted the visible shield pins to disappear and that was the only thing I disliked about my old knife. That is precisely what I got back and I was just over-joyed when I got it back and the pins were not even slightly visible. Additionally, this is an awesome give-away and I commend you. :thumbup:
I posted this reply on another thread, where we were talking about old knife steel and this is my entry - maybe a bit of humor for you:
I agree with you, however, I doubt they will because they know that many people abuse these knives and here is an example of some people's mentality:
I have a brother/or friend/or thorn in my side that once told me that he was not going to buy any more American made knives - "the steel was too crappy." He said he had an American made BUC_ knife and the tip broke off of it. I asked him how that happened and he said he was very gently prying something and "it just snapped off !!!"
I politely suggested to him that a cutting blade was NOT DESIGNED TO PRY THINGS and he should use the proper tool for the job. He just kept ranting about it and swore to not buy American steel, that it was all JUNK and that he was only going to buy German made steel. He said that the "Germans know how to make good steel."
I recall thinking of a bull in a China shop and also "Poor Germans."
About a year or so later, I was over at his house and asked him if he had a kitchen knife I could use to cut up a salad. He pulled out a very nice and beefy stainless steel J.A. Hencke_ _ 8 inch chef's knife, made in Solingen, Germany.
As I cut up the veggies for a salad, I just could not help but ask him, "how did the tip get broken off of this nice ole German made kitchen knife?"
He looked strangely/sternly/embarrassed at me and told me that "his wife had broken it trying to pry on a window sill."
So - you see what they are up against with some of their customers.
and just because I love old knives, as well as picture shows - I submit my old Cattaraugus as another special ole knife of mine.
Old bone Cattaraugus, Little Valley, N.Y., USA, closed length at 3 & 3/8 inches.

That's gorgeous Glenn.
Here's a few pictures of my dog. I'm moving to Australia in July and can't take him with me, so he's going to hole up at my parents' place. It will definitely be a hardship for him, with miles of cornfields, tons of horse hooves and horse poop to chew on, and a full barn of farm cats to chase
At my parents' house, he's spoiled like a grandchild there...

Absolutely stunning knife, that inside ram's horn is gorgeous. I am in.
Here is a pic of a grey tree frog I caught hanging out in a potted plant on the front stoop.

Please count me in! I love the TL-29 you made up for me and would appreciate another chance at one. Especially since I gave my Dad the one you made for me. He has trouble with his hands, and when I handed him the easy open mod you did, it was the first time he hadn't struggled to open a knife in a long time. Thanks!
