Nice to see you restore this without taking it apart. Most restorers would go to unnecessary lengths but your restoration technique is appropriate and the end result perfect. Thanks from the UK.
My dad was an electrician and had an old pocketknife like this. I always thought the tip of the second blade had been snapped off accidentally. I had no idea it was designed this way. The history of the tools is always interesting info. It brings the tools, designers, makers, and users to life. I very much appreciate the time and effort you take to include it. Thank you!
This is the first video offer yours that I've watched. My first reaction: "Not the Dremel!". You are very skilled. I carried one like this for years with smooth black Delrin scales. It was built like a tank. I picked up a Klein Tools Brand at a pawn shop for $10 about 18 months ago. I cleaned and oiled it. It has plastic faux wood scales. The screwdriver works great for throwing sparks with a ferro rod. I live an hour from Camillus, NY where the factory was. My other favorite pocketknife is a Camillus U.S. , all stainless Utility (Camp/Scout) knife. It's in excellent condition. Never sharpened or used. Dated 1996 on the main blade. It rode around in my mother in law's Jeep until it died. She gave it to me. I hear people complain about how some old knives have such strong backsprings. When Most people worked with their hands, naturally their hands were very strong. Before lockbacks became widely popular, these strong springs provided an extra measure of safety. I had a 1970s Case 2 blade large folding hunter. When closing, it would have worked like a guillotine if a finger was in the way. I enjoyed your refurb.
Thanks for watching! I'm a big fan of Barlow style pocket knives. I EDC a Montgomery Ward Powr-Kraft Barlow. Check out my pocket knife playlist: th-cam.com/play/PL2LUCgmdqpXOJ085tzQW-pBKJVOd67-UR.html
This brought back memories of my Father. He always carried this knife and used it so much that about every 5 years I would get him a new one for Christmas. When I found that this knife was made for the Signal Corps, I understood why he had such an infinity for it. He was in the Signal Corps through WW2. I've kept several of the worn-out knives and now I want to clean them up a bit and maybe start carrying one again to feel closer to him. Thanks for the memories.
Talk about a transformation. Most people would have passed that knife by. Those blades were really in bad shape. Excellent job on the recovery. It's in better shape now than it has been for many years.
Excellent job sir. Really enjoy watching your programs. I was a bit disappointed until I saw Chuck doing his part. The history of the knife was very interesting. Thanks!
Lived in and around Camillus for more than 30 years. Right up the hill for many years in the village. Learned more about the company in your video than I knew before. The old factory is now being repurposed into senior housing.
Thanks Magdad, really appreciate this great transformation, you are a master of the pocket knife ! There were many challenges with this knife but the path you took managed the balance between restoration and a working knife, hence your lack of arm hair !
Perfection! That was the challenge project and you killed it. Great patience to get all the nooks and crannies cleaned and polished. I have learned a lot from you videos. I really appreciate the shout outs! Helping a brother grow.
I have to say that Camillus looks better Now Than it was Brand New It's like you took an old beat up ford car and turned it into a million dollar Rolls-Royce Nice Job on a simple Restoration .. Great Work Mr Magdad and Mr chuck Take care looking forward to next Sundays Video
Great job Magdad! Sixty years ago I was an avionics technician in the Marine Corps. We were issued TL-29s along with a nylon sheath. I misplaced the TL-29 and was issued an all metal Imperial with "U.S." markings. I still have them.
The knife looks very good now. Well done. It had been very badly sharpened over the years. Reminds me of some of the horrible plane irons I have seen in my hand plane restorations. I appreciate the history as usual. Camillus had a long run. Dave.
Camillus is one of my favorite knife manufacturers and I particularly like the TL-29 electricians knife. I have been using a carbide graver to clean out the nail nick. Nice work, looks super nice!
Awesome to see you clean up and restore the TL-29, Magdad! This video has some sentimental value to me since I have one just like it in my toolbox (also made by Camilis). The knife was issued to me when I was in the navy in the 1970's. Since I was an Electricians Mate (EM), it was a standard issue item in our tool kit. Mine is in good shape, but, after watching your post, I may have to clean it up a bit. 😅👍💥😎
Excellent work once again sir! I have always preference Camillus over Case. And my Dad and I have quite a few including their side brands like Kent and Syracuse. Thank you for what you do you do.
I just restored a Camillus electricians knife that was made in the 60s but doesn’t have the TL29, I believe the blades are carbon steel. It’s one of my favorites to carry right now.
Looks great and Camillus made a great knife as well! Im not sure how the newer ones are since they sold out but Ive owned a Camillus lever lock for at least 18 maybe 20 years and I love it used to carry it on the job. As a Flitz man myself I have a couple stops and one I added Flitz on the leather and it works great for the beginning and then go to the regular plain leather, Try that out sometime!
No video in my feed is more welcome than a Magdad pocket knife restoration! Way to go , MD! The knife looks beautiful! One question: when you buffed the plastic scales did you use Flits on them? I notice you use a softer buff wheel.
Nice clean up Mate, I always think these Electricians knives are a perfect balance of cutting blade and tool blade (I think you can also find them with a file built in to the screwdriver blade)
Thanks for posting this. I have a TL-29 that was my Dad's, I remember the white "TL-29" lettering on the wood handles but it's worn off now and I forgot what it said... until now. I thought it was from his Navy days (he was a radarman on the USS Mayrant in WWII) and seeing this I guess that's correct.
That’s a military electrician’s knife, as others have noted. The screwdriver blade comes with that sharpened section, I imagine for helping in stripping wire. It’s not a case of ‘somebody tried to sharpen’ it, it comes that way.
Thanks for watching! I guess you missed the part where I shared the US Army Signal Corps spec drawing for the knife.(12:21) The drawing shows the sharpened section of the screwdriver blade. I was referring the the grinder marks someone left trying to sharpen it.
Magdad + Chuck + Camillus = something worth hanging on to. I don't think we have Camillus in the UK. They always look to me like decent quality pocket knives.
These are some of the greats in pocket knife classics! I'm in the UK, so they are not a commonly seen model ,however, they do come up occasionally ! I have found camillus made these in both carbon and stainless steel? There was also a Camco model in carbon again by camillus I believe?
I’ve got quite a few old TL-29’s that I also restored and carry often. They really are a great EDC. I have some from Colonial, Ulster, and Klein. Still waiting for a Camillus to pop up on Kijiji in Canada. I prefer to keep the edge on the screwdriver dull. I already have a sharp blade on the knife if I need one and accidents do occur even while using a screwdriver. I just don’t want to accidentally slide up on it and land on a sharpened edge.

I used them for 40 years they would last about 7 years and the flat blade would get real loose or break . Then i would get a new one . When i retired 3 years ago i got my last new one.@@357magdad
Just last weekend I picked up the sister knife to this at the Stormville flea market. There is no model number but it is a Camillus . The difference with it is the screwdriver blade is a knife only and it does not look like it was reprofiled. Other than some patina and grime it's in good shape. The pin for the lanyard loop isn't exposed in the blade channel so maybe this one is newer than yours. I also got from the same vendor a small Ranger 3 blade pocket knife. Again, no model number and it's a little more worn than the Camillus but should clean up nicely. George
They are rare, but Camillus did make some with a blade in place of the screwdriver. I don't have my books handy, but I think it was a long pen blade, thicker than on a smaller gene's knife.😊
I've got a solingen version of this knife with wooden scales , identical , I carry it everyday .I've cleaned it up by hand , not as good a job as this knife but good enough.
Fun video MagDad… I have acquired several TL 29’s from various companies. They were well made and served well. I was able to make bails for them using .063 Monel and then using a press break to shape them. I liked that you cleaned it without taking it apart. I use wooden coffee stirrers and 0000 steel wool to clean the channels. I’m just a novice but I enjoy bringing back the old knives and find the process therapeutic. After reviewing the DNC convention in medically prescribed doses I was wondering if Chuck had an opinion on RFK dropping out and endorsing Trump…..Thanks again for sharing your videos with us.

That old knife couldn't have landed in a better place! Great job as usual! 👍😀👍
Thanks! I'm glad David sent it to me!
My grandpa gave me my first pocket knife. It was just like this. I still remember how proud I was of it. Another great resto. Thanks for the memory.
Old pocket knives always seem to bring back good memories!
Nice job MagDad that came out really good. That line gave me a kick: "looks like someone tried to sharpen it with a woodchipper." Well done!
Thanks! I've seen so many old knives ruined by bench grinders.😥
Love the history bits in these videos, you can't beat old American tools 👌
Learning about the history of the items I clean up is a fun part of the hobby!

Fantastic restoration Magdad! Mr. David is a bonus addition to our great tool community! Night and day difference.. outstanding!
Thanks Vic! I enjoy David's channel.
Talk about a transformation. Most people would have passed that knife by. Those blades were really in bad shape. Excellent job on the recovery. It's in better shape now than it has been for many years.
Thanks Pat! The blades are still tight and have good "snap".
Was getting nervous for a minute…and thought the Flitz would get left out…but you and Chuck did not disappoint!
Chuck was itchin' to Flitz something!
That cleaned up quite well!! Nicely done Bud!!☻
Thanks RoadKing!
I just inherited one from my dad. The handle was turning white. But it polished back out.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! I've had some luck with Mother's Black Chrome rejuvenating plastic scales.
The old knife has a new life. Great job!
Thank you!
Excellent job sir. Really enjoy watching your programs. I was a bit disappointed until I saw Chuck doing his part. The history of the knife was very interesting. Thanks!
Thanks Christopher! Chuck has a big episode planned for next week - stay tuned!
Lived in and around Camillus for more than 30 years. Right up the hill for many years in the village. Learned more about the company in your video than I knew before. The old factory is now being repurposed into senior housing.
Camillus was able to stay in business for a long time.
Thanks Magdad, really appreciate this great transformation, you are a master of the pocket knife !
There were many challenges with this knife but the path you took managed the balance between restoration and a working knife, hence your lack of arm hair !
Thanks Andy! You could do a lot worse for an EDC than this knife.
Think I'll have to dig out the one in my tool box and give it some attention. Thanks for the video, I was never able to identify the knife before.
Thanks for watching Dale. Electrician's pocket knives are very popular. If yours is stamped TL-29, it was military issue.
That knife lucked out and received the Magdad Magic. Amazing work as always mate. I have learned a lot from your videos.
Thanks Shedman! I'm glad David sent it my way!
Great job Magdad.....good thing Chuck is there to keep you focused !!
Thanks Chris! Chuck is a great supervisor!
Beautiful job as usual Magdad. I can see many hours of work in that knife but it was worth it. Cheers mate, Stuart 🇦🇺
Thanks Stuart!
Perfection! That was the challenge project and you killed it. Great patience to get all the nooks and crannies cleaned and polished. I have learned a lot from you videos. I really appreciate the shout outs! Helping a brother grow.
It was a fun project! Thanks again for sending it my way!
Great resto job ! Was issued one when I was in the navy and still have it 50 years now ! If you were lucky you got the TL-39 !
Thanks Joe! I'm glad you kept your knife all these years!

Great job Magdad! Sixty years ago I was an avionics technician in the Marine Corps. We were issued TL-29s along with a nylon sheath. I misplaced the TL-29 and was issued an all metal Imperial with "U.S." markings. I still have them.
Thanks Rick! I'll have to keep an eye out for the all metal US issue!
The knife looks very good now. Well done. It had been very badly sharpened over the years. Reminds me of some of the horrible plane irons I have seen in my hand plane restorations.
I appreciate the history as usual. Camillus had a long run.

Thanks Dave! I've seen so many old pocket knives that were ruined by grinder sharpening.
Nicely done. I just found an old pocket knife that I need to clean up. This is definitely the technique I am looking for.

@@357magdad I really wish I had more time lol
Another fine job Magdad, thanks for sharing. Glad to see Chuck got some FLITZ time in lol
Thanks! Chuck had been itchin' to Flitz something!
Another awesome show Magdad! Very nice job on the knife. Thank You for sharing
Thanks Jack!
We had these in the Marines when we worked on jets. Great knife. The screwdriver fit the fastners on control boxes perfect.
I hope you were able to bring one home with you!
Camillus is one of my favorite knife manufacturers and I particularly like the TL-29 electricians knife. I have been using a carbide graver to clean out the nail nick. Nice work, looks super nice!
I should say carbide scriber.

That knife was in pretty rough shape when you started but you did a great job restoring it. 👍👍
Thanks Frank!
I love the TL 29. My neighbor got his issued to him in the Military. Nice multi tool. Great job cleaning it up.
Thanks Mike!
I bought this exact same knife on Ebay recently. It cleaned up real well. Very well built knife and fantastic snap/walk and talk.
A lot of folks like the TL-29 style knives.
This was exactly what I needed. I have one with wooden scales that I am going to dive into. Thank you for the guidance!
Thanks for watching! I'd love to see some before and after photos of your project! 357mdad@gmail.com
Very nice clean up Magdad! Also - great history lesson on the knife company!
Thanks! I enjoy researching the history.
Standard Navy pocket knife. We also kept one in each toolbox. That, or a TL-27 or TL-28. Wish I had a dollar for each of these I've had. Good job.
Thanks for watching Richard! Imagine if you kept all of those old knives!
@357magdad if only. I still have a few of them. Working knives all. By the way, I love the shirt.
Excellent work once again sir! I have always preference Camillus over Case. And my Dad and I have quite a few including their side brands like Kent and Syracuse. Thank you for what you do you do.
Thanks James!
Nice job Magdad. The old knife looks great
Thanks Ivan!
Came out amazing man!! Props to Camillus.. Very cool that you took the time abt the history.
Thanks! Researching the history is part of the fun!
I’ve always liked Camillus knives. You and Chuck did a great job!
Thanks! Seems like a quality knife.
Very well done. Thanks so much for sharing. I always learn something. Have a great day and keep them coming.
Thanks! Cleaning up old pocket knives is fun!
I still have one of those in my toolbox. Had it now for 55 years.
It's a classic pattern that never goes out of style!
Your pocket knife turned out really well Thank you for the video
Thanks Joe!
Learned so much from you in two videos. You do a great job of making an instruction video and entertaining. Keep up the good work. Thank you
Thanks! I'm glad the video was helpful! Cleaning up old pocket knives is fun!
I like mothers products.
I really like White diamond. It Makes aluminum look like chrome. Thanks for your reply
Great video it now looks new thanks for sharing 👍
It is definitely better than it was!

Nothing like seeing an old knife that someone tried to sharpen with a bench grinder...........I think it needs a name, maybe "The Sharpen Of Shame".
I've seen so many old knives ruined by the bench grinder.
t seems to have been so common for guys to sharpen on a bench grinder.
Beautiful resto of a beautiful knife! Thanks!
Thanks Chris!
Another fine job! Your collection of knives must be getting big. You'll have to 2 show us.
Thanks Steve. Many of the pocket knives end up going to new homes.
The knife looks great! You really did a good job on it Magdad. Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks John!
Nice Job 👍 Magdad ! Pretty Good Even With the Pitting . Much Better Than It Was !
Thanks Wayne!
Looks great and Camillus made a great knife as well! Im not sure how the newer ones are since they sold out but Ive owned a Camillus lever lock for at least 18 maybe 20 years and I love it used to carry it on the job. As a Flitz man myself I have a couple stops and one I added Flitz on the leather and it works great for the beginning and then go to the regular plain leather, Try that out sometime!
Good idea!
Next to the Barlow the electricians knife was always a favorite of mine. Awesome job! 😃👍
Thanks ScoutCrafter! You know I'm a Barlow guy!
Those are nice heavy duty knives. I usually pick them up if they’re at a good price which is almost always.👍
I buy them when I see them too!
A deep respect for the abilities you have and the beautiful outcomes of the restorations
Thanks David! Cleaning up old pocket knives and rusty tools is fun!
No video in my feed is more welcome than a Magdad pocket knife restoration! Way to go , MD! The knife looks beautiful! One question: when you buffed the plastic scales did you use Flits on them? I notice you use a softer buff wheel.
Thanks! I'm glad you like my pocket knife projects. Chuck and I polished the plastic scales with Flitz. We like to use the softer wheel on plastic.
Nice clean up Mate, I always think these Electricians knives are a perfect balance of cutting blade and tool blade (I think you can also find them with a file built in to the screwdriver blade)
I've got a three blade Klein electrician's knife. It's got a curved sheepfoot blade in addition to the spear point and the screwdriver.
Cool, I don't think I have seen one like that before

Well done! It really came out nice. The blade channels and springs are always challenging.
Thanks! The Evapo-Rust soak helped a lot!
I have 3 or 4 of these knives I accumulated during my US Navy career, back in the 80's and 90's. We called them Electrician knives.
Electrician's knife is the common term.
