What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Simply elegant jackknife, Greg.
I’ll bet the handles feel silky smooth in your hand.
I realy like this era of Schrade Walden knives with the jigged delrin. By any chance is that a 233 Jack?

Same model as L Leslie Tomville’s ? Same accolades from me.👌
 
Jeff, I don't know if you've ever run across this here, but there used to be a guy @dma1965 who modded a bunch of TL-29s. I think when he started, he was turning the screwdriver blade into a short Wharncliffe that he could use for whittling:

Later, influenced by a very well presented tutorial by @esnyx , @dma1965 did a bunch more modding, getting increasingly more sophisticated IIRC:

Congrats on your new Kaufman pruner, Jeff, and plaudits to Steve for his thoughtful generosity! :thumbsup::cool::

Thanks for the links, Gary!
Was wondering how I missed those threads, but realized 2012 was my year in the hospital.
After taking pics of today’s pocket companions, I changed my mind after seeing the TL-29 mod thread.

I decided to put the Pal back, and dug out my first FrankenKnife.
 
I picked these last night.
SW rope knife because I plan on cutting a whole lot of baling twine for supporting tomatoes, which will be needing that pretty soon.
The hawkbill in case we want salad again tonight, and the TL-29 by PAL Blade Co just because.B39849C3-04CE-4ADE-B977-E3A16BD9AE9F.jpegE797B070-2483-4A0F-B275-00C4CAA7C2C6.jpeg
But the PAL needs ti be repaired. I got it at the Badger Blade Show right before they missed a couple of years due to the Wu-flu. I got it dirt cheap, because there was no hiding the fact someone had repinned it at the pivot, and repinned it crookedly.4EAA2431-7CC7-48B0-8683-3495232C9729.jpeg I really need to repair it before I use it, so I took this one out of the cigar box that’s dedicated to knives I have fiddled, fettled, and farted around with.
