What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[315]

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

This is why I should always carry a utility knife.
Some friends from church, with two little boys from Nigeria just bought their first house. Money’s tight, so Mrs. Santa Fleschwund put together a big sack of toys for Christmas presents.
I went to deliver them to find their water heater was out, they had no tools, and no idea of what to do.
Well, many years ago, I hauled propane and was certified in gas appliances.
With the help of this nearly 70 year old Pal TL29, I fixed it. Getting up off the floor was the hardest part.
Like 99% of these service calls, the problem was rust particles and soot on the thermocouple and in the burner. Plus, their flux capacitor was acting up, and the flam shooter needed calibration, of course.

Gratuitous shot of the heroic old veteran called back into service...View attachment 1037777Love my TL29s!

Two gift knives today. One for black Friday one for Farm&Field Friday
Edit: sorry about the poor quality pic, its raining yet again in eastern North Carolina. So my phone don't take good indoor pics it seems.Rain before Florence, then Florence, then more rain, then another hurricane, then more rain I've forgotten what it was like to walk on grass that don't make squishy sounds.

Soap poisoning.

This is beautiful! Both the knife and the soap scene.

Looks to be mint.

I scored this one in mint condition, I only used it to cut once and carried few times.

Darn those pesky flux capacitors, Jeff! No match for the TL-29, though. Great work.

I'm gonna give my modded #44 some love and pocket time tomorrow for Stag Saturday.
