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:

Thanks for the links, gonna have to go down this route as I can't let well enough alone

Back to work means back to the truck console for the 1/4 open glamour shot.

That's a stunner Jon! I suspect she takes glamour shots at all fractions of open

I took this one out of the cigar box that’s dedicated to knives I have fiddled, fettled, and farted around with. Camillus TL-29.

Dig your mod Jeff. Sometimes I think your garden grows old knives...

Thanks fellas … makin me wanna rush right over there now!

Hope your dentist is a good one Paul! I know that (expensive) pain

And here's my two linesmans' knives, check out the unsharpened TL! Grandpa was a radio man in the Pacific Fleet, and later a linesman for Ma Bell. Dunno if I ever saw a TL or similar in his tools, but he wasn't much for hanging on to things anyways.

Thanks man! But I’m not sure any knife looks right at 3/4” open. I’m not sure why - but that looks weird to me .

Those are some vibey old TL’s. They’ve got good soul .

My usual Case Bullnose along with a Case tool to aid opening that stays on the keychain. Ironically, the tool was needed to help with a nail busting GEC, but is not needed for the Case. Turns out it is pretty handy for opening other things like paint cans or even a screw. So now it stays on the key chain.

Just thought I'd share this here, I know it's a Switchblade, but at around 70 years old, Im hoping it'll be welcomed here,
I managed to get a brand new/old stock post WW2 Weltersbach Leverlock,

I sharpened it, now it gets used daily.
