Did someone call me? That old TL-29 has lots of years left in it. If it gets uncomfortable to hold, you can always patch it with some epoxy.![]()

I've never carried this old TL-29. I bought for less than the shipping fee planning on re-scaling it. May still do that/may not. For some reason, it reminds me ofr8shell . And I don't feel the broken cocobolo in my hand. Looks like hell, but I hate to lose the TL-29 stamp. I will file down the sharp ends of the broken shackle (bail in some parts of the country). I do feel those.
Springs seem factory fresh, snap is great.
I like how Schrade stamped both blades.
Bonus point if you can tell me where I bought that hat!
Very nice job on the repair!Did someone call me? That old TL-29 has lots of years left in it. If it gets uncomfortable to hold, you can always patch it with some epoxy.
Here's one I did, adding some brown powder pigment to somewhat match the bone:

I think I know where the hat came from, but I admit I cheated by consulting Google.
Truth or Consequences, NM??Bonus point if you can tell me where I bought that hat!
Harry, do you know what year NKCA produced that knife?Some people describe it as a Reverse Gunstock and others as Humpback Whittler . It does have some look as a Gunstock knife but the end is tipped up at the end . It does have the blades of a Whittler . I saw where one person called it a Founders knife . I tend to think of it as a Gunstock Whittler with some decent Stag and very comfortable grip even though I will never use it as that .
