TL-29's

by Ken Spielvogel

Sep 12, 2013

A TL-29 or 27 would certainly be classified as a Knife of the Great Outdoors. Lineman used them as well as military electricians. They were and are used for good carry/work knives.

Some have collections of TL-29's so lets have their own site - right here.

Post those pics and info on this great knife.

    Ken, 

           Here is a TL-29 I picked up at a antique store on the side of the road in Florida. It is made by Kutmaster and is in decent shape. I have read a little about these knives, and they were made around world war two time period.

    Has anyone heard of Xcelite - like in this TL-29?

    When my father had his radio and tv repair shop most of the tools that we bought through the electronic parts suppliers were Xcelite brand.  The were high end tools with life time warranty and a lot of them were special purpose tools.

    I will try to track down my TL-29's and see if I have some that aren't already listed.

    Have really enjoyed looking sorry it has taken so long to post here.
