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.
Thanks Brian! I would probably destroy the scales trying to remove them!
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!
Thanks April! Researching the history of the stuff I work on is a fun part of the hobby for me.
That old knife couldn't have landed in a better place! Great job as usual! 👍😀👍
Thanks! I'm glad David sent it to me!
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!
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.😥
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!
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!
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.
I'm glad my video brought back some good memories for you Elliot! A knife like this would be a great EDC!
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".
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:

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.
I like mothers products.
I really like White diamond. It Makes aluminum look like chrome. Thanks for your reply
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!
That knife was in pretty rough shape when you started but you did a great job restoring it. 👍👍
Thanks Frank!
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!
That cleaned up quite well!! Nicely done Bud!!☻
Thanks RoadKing!
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.
Thanks Mark! Camillus had a long history of making quality knives.
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!
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.
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!
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!
The old knife has a new life. Great job!
Thank you!
I love these old Electricians knives, well old tools in general. You did an outstanding job on this knife you should be proud of it.Thanks for sharing
Cleaning up old pocket knives and tools is fun!
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!
With the patience of a saint and determination, that knife turned into a righteous restoration sir, I like it, thanks for the video.
Thanks Terry! It was a fun project!
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!
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!
Great job Magdad.....good thing Chuck is there to keep you focused !!
Thanks Chris! Chuck is a great supervisor!
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.
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!
Nicely done. I just found an old pocket knife that I need to clean up. This is definitely the technique I am looking for.
I've got another pocket knife project planned for next week!
@@357magdad I really wish I had more time lol
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
Nice !!! You could gift this to Chuck, but he will need bigger pockets.......
Thanks Steven! Chuck loves to make things shiny!
Nice Job 👍 Magdad ! Pretty Good Even With the Pitting . Much Better Than It Was !
Thanks Wayne!
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!
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.
Another awesome show Magdad! Very nice job on the knife. Thank You for sharing
Thanks Jack!
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.
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.
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!
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.
Great restoration. It came out looking great!
Thanks Robert!
Beautiful resto of a beautiful knife! Thanks!
Thanks Chris!
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!
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.
Thanks Larry!
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
Thanks Roger!
I’ve always liked Camillus knives. You and Chuck did a great job!
Thanks! Seems like a quality knife.
Your pocket knife turned out really well Thank you for the video
Thanks Joe!
The knife looks great! You really did a good job on it Magdad. Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks John!
Outstanding job Magdad! 👍🏼😃
Thanks David!
Very nice clean up Magdad! Also - great history lesson on the knife company!
Thanks! I enjoy researching the history.
Fantastic. You are an inspiration.
Thanks! Cleaning up old pocket knives is fun!
Nicely done Magdad & Chuck
Thanks! Chuck was excited to help!
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.
Great video it now looks new thanks for sharing 👍
It is definitely better than it was!
Loved the video. I restore a lot of these kinds of knives and really learned a few good tips from your work. Thanks!

Next to the Barlow the electricians knife was always a favorite of mine. Awesome job! 😃👍
Thanks ScoutCrafter! You know I'm a Barlow guy!
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.
Thanks Dave! I've seen so many old pocket knives that were ruined by grinder sharpening.
Beautiful job MagDad! Amazing transformation, Best regards, Bill.
Thanks Bill!
Fantastic job that came out so good 👍
Thanks!
Excellent results!
Thanks John!
Well done! It really came out nice. The blade channels and springs are always challenging.
Thanks! The Evapo-Rust soak helped a lot!
Nice Work Professor! turned out Great👍👍
Thanks D&R!
Wow ! Anyone would be proud to carry that knife everyday. Fantastic job on this knife !
Thanks Kris!
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!
Nice job Magdad. The old knife looks great
Thanks Ivan!
Enjoyable video. Thanks
I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Excellent format!
I do not understand your comment.
@@357magdad what scoutcrafter does I will do - ring a bell?
@@bobwhelk2114 ScoutCrafter and I are friends! Before I met him I was making pocket knife videos like this one and firearms related content. ScoutCrafter got me into vintage tool "restorations". Hunting for, cleaning up and learning about the history of vintage tools is a fun hobby. The TH-cam community for this hobby is a great bunch of folks. I would recommend you also check out JohnFix, Resto-Rob, Big Vic's Workshop, Dale's Workshop, Uwannawatch, Big Life, Wire Works and ToolScouter.
@@357magdad I stand corrected and ashamed
That's a good knife..You did a fantastic resto on it. David is a cool guy and he does amazing projects!
David's latest antique safe project was amazing!
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.
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 sympathetic resto job👍👍
Thanks!
Another masterpiece 👏
Thank you!
Great job!
Thanks Jerry!
Great background music!
Mrs Magdad and I enjoy picking the music for each episode!
What an improvement, you should be very proud of your achievement 👍.
Thanks Tony!
Exelente trabajo,un saludo desde Argentina
Thanks Pedro!
I admire you very much. You have special skills
Thank you!
Good job 👏 well done 👍
Thank you!
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!
BRILLIANT 🙂
Thanks Michael!
Very nice job Magdad, 👍
Thanks Dale!
I still have mine from my days in the Army in 1975.
That's great! It's a keeper!
Cool Job, congrats!
Thanks Jose!
Cleaned up Purdy good Magdad!
Thanks!
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!
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.
Chuck is great!
Thanks! Chuck says hi!
Thanks for the video, if only old tools could talk.
Thanks Terry! It would be cool to know where this knife has been.
Dang that's one of the old ones that still had the lanyard pin the goes all the way through.
I think the plastic scales date it to after WW2.
Right on.👍
Thanks!
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
I had one of those knives as a teenager.
Thanks for watching John! My pocket knife projects always seem to bring back good memories for viewers.
I have the exact knife but a different brand name. Now I know why. They are fun to work on. Thanks
I have a Klein tool knife like that i have had for years .
I think just about every maker had their version of this knife.
I think Klein still sells electrician's knives.
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
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.
Thanks for watching! Sounds like you got a great piece of family and WW2 history!
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
Old pocket knives are fun to collect and clean up!
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.😊
Well done
Thank you!
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?
Thanks for watching Mike! A bunch of companies had contracts to make these over the years.
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.
Cleaning up old pocket knives is fun! You could do a lot worse for an EDC!
