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!

That old knife couldn't have landed in a better place! Great job as usual! 👍😀👍

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".

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!

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.

Was getting nervous for a minute…and thought the Flitz would get left out…but you and Chuck did not disappoint!

Love the history bits in these videos, you can't beat old American tools 👌

We had these in the Marines when we worked on jets. Great knife. The screwdriver fit the fastners on control boxes perfect.

I still have one of those in my toolbox. Had it now for 55 years.

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.

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 still have mine from my days in the Army in 1975.

This was exactly what I needed. I have one with wooden scales that I am going to dive into. Thank you for the guidance!

Fantastic restoration Magdad! Mr. David is a bonus addition to our great tool community! Night and day difference.. outstanding!

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

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

Beautiful resto of a beautiful knife! Thanks!

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.

That cleaned up quite well!! Nicely done Bud!!☻

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.

Great job Magdad.....good thing Chuck is there to keep you focused !!

The old knife has a new life. Great job!

Beautiful job as usual Magdad. I can see many hours of work in that knife but it was worth it. Cheers mate, Stuart 🇦🇺

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.

That knife was in pretty rough shape when you started but you did a great job restoring it. 👍👍

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!

I just inherited one from my dad. The handle was turning white. But it polished back out. Thanks for sharing.

With the patience of a saint and determination, that knife turned into a righteous restoration sir, I like it, thanks for the 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.

Loved the video. I restore a lot of these kinds of knives and really learned a few good tips from your work. Thanks!

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 !

Came out amazing man!! Props to Camillus.. Very cool that you took the time abt the history.

That knife lucked out and received the Magdad Magic. Amazing work as always mate. I have learned a lot from your videos.

Your pocket knife turned out really well Thank you for the video

Another awesome show Magdad! Very nice job on the knife. Thank You for sharing

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.

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.

Very well done. Thanks so much for sharing. I always learn something. Have a great day and keep them coming.

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 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!

Nice Job 👍 Magdad ! Pretty Good Even With the Pitting . Much Better Than It Was !

I like mothers products. I really like White diamond. It Makes aluminum look like chrome. Thanks for your reply

Nice !!! You could gift this to Chuck, but he will need bigger pockets.......

Another fine job Magdad, thanks for sharing. Glad to see Chuck got some FLITZ time in lol

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 !

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.

Great video it now looks new thanks for sharing 👍

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.

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

I’ve always liked Camillus knives. You and Chuck did a great job!

Wow ! Anyone would be proud to carry that knife everyday. Fantastic job on this knife !

I love the TL 29. My neighbor got his issued to him in the Military. Nice multi tool. Great job cleaning it up.

Nicely done Magdad & Chuck

Fantastic. You are an inspiration.

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.

Great background music!

The knife looks great! You really did a good job on it Magdad. Thanks for sharing this.

Nice sympathetic resto job👍👍

Thanks for the video, if only old tools could talk.

Nice job Magdad. The old knife looks great

Another fine job! Your collection of knives must be getting big. You'll have to 2 show us.

Very nice clean up Magdad! Also - great history lesson on the knife company!

Cleaned up Purdy good Magdad!

Excellent format!

I admire you very much. You have special skills

Outstanding job Magdad! 👍🏼😃

I had one of those knives as a teenager.

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.

Another masterpiece 👏

Exelente trabajo,un saludo desde Argentina

Dang that's one of the old ones that still had the lanyard pin the goes all the way through.

Enjoyable video. Thanks

Next to the Barlow the electricians knife was always a favorite of mine. Awesome job! 😃👍

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.

What an improvement, you should be very proud of your achievement 👍.

Those are nice heavy duty knives. I usually pick them up if they’re at a good price which is almost always.👍

Excellent results!

That's a good knife..You did a fantastic resto on it. David is a cool guy and he does amazing projects!

Good job 👏 well done 👍

Beautiful job MagDad! Amazing transformation, Best regards, Bill.

Very nice job Magdad, 👍

Well done! It really came out nice. The blade channels and springs are always challenging.

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.

Great restoration. It came out looking great!

Great job!

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

Fantastic job that came out so good 👍

BRILLIANT 🙂

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)

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!

I have the exact knife but a different brand name. Now I know why. They are fun to work on. Thanks

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.

Nice Work Professor! turned out Great👍👍

Right on.👍

Chuck is great!

My first knife was a kutmaster electrician pocket knife there always a special place for them with me

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 have a Camillus GSA electricians knife from the 1990s. Nice job restoring this one. The government contract knives were made to a price point and the finish is not as fine as the retail trade knives. Another good USA made cutlery company lost.
