This is a boring shot, but standing under the drip line off the eaves made it a rush job. I just got this Pal Blade Co TL29 the other day. WW2 production, I am presuming, due to the liners and bolsters being steel. Some sharpening blade loss, but not bad, but the rust was disappointing. Thanks to several soaks in penetrating oil, a lot of the snap has come back. At least opening snap is great. My first ever Pal knife~ lovely bone.View attachment 1037436View attachment 1037435
Not boring at all, love it!! Beautiful knives.

A tribute to Fred on this old friends Friday. His granddaughter sent me a picture of him in his shop. I'm carrying his red bone whittler on this fine cold and windy day !

I'm totin' a couple of "different" knives for a freaky Friday carry: Queen #2 serpentine jack and a Queen #36 lockback (which is one of the few lockbacks that Queen made, as well as one of the few bareheads and high carbon steel (1095?) bladed knives they made - it wasn't in their catalog for long). Both are from 1961-1971 and have Delrin Winterbottom covers. (See edits below) Queen was able to make Delrin look pretty good. When fertilizer companies started bidding the price of bone up and government embargoes stopped importation of bone in the late 1950s, Queen had Rogers NMfg. Co. make molds of the real Winterbotttom bone for future conversion to synthetic covers. Queen converted to Delrin in the late 1960s, I understand.

EDIT: After further handling of these knives following this post, I believe that the covers are actually real bone, and not Delrin. I'll leave the Delrin info intact, but wanted to make this correction. Apologies to Delrin fans.

I stuck my hand in my pocket to take out my knife take a picture and post it here when I remembered I had three in there today.
Case Teardrop, GEC71 Bullnose and my GEC 54 Big Jack. Just goes to show that even though you're an old retired guy you can still put severaltoys in your pocket. :D:rolleyes:

Holub was an electrical supply house in Sycamore, Illinois ~ about a 45 minute shot straight south of me. It's most likely that Gary's TL-27 (civilian version of the 29) was made by Camillus.
And ditto on his canoes!
