My girlfriends Dad passed away a few years back and we are just starting to go through the basement. This is what we found a week or so ago and we still have a lot of cleaning to do. Guess where this is going to be ??

The knife is known as a TL-29 lineman's Knife. It was standard issue in lineman's tool kits, and electrician's tool kits by the Army Signal Corps at least though the Vietnam era. I had several issued to me and lost in the two years I served in Vietnam.

A word of caution about the screwdriver blade, it has a sharp edge and will collapse under a load, the result of which could be a cut finger. Ask me how I know.

Thanks for the heads up, but I imagine it will be used on my computer table to open letters. The first aid kit will be mounted in the 47 and have upgraded meds inside. I was wondering were and what I would put my medicals in, now I know.

Nice find!.

Weekends I go to town early in the mornings and have breakfast with my old guy friends, usually drive a Jeep there, last fall a guy comes into the resurant and hollers, "Who drives the Army Jeep in the lot", that's me!, he gave me a very nice first aid kit like yours full of what's goes inside, wanted it to go to a good home. I then took him for a ride around town. My dad gave me a knife like that when I was 6 yo, mom took it away as I removed all the outlet covers in the living room with it, LOL.

Yep, we are still around so our mothers must have been doing the right things. I've been known to yell at a few kids for them to stop doing whatever they were doing and they are still around. Some of them are parents now so they get to do the same thing.
Wait, I'm not a mother?

I have a few of the TL-29 pocket knifes here that I was also issued. They are still issued today, but.....todays TL-29s have a brass block that prevents the screw driver blade from folding back on them now. Every time I use the screwdriver blade, I think of how painful it would be to be pushing and the blade fold back onto your fingers!

Thank you for your service, Marine...

Oh, make no mistake...the TL-29 I had that sliced a finger open had the brass lock on it, but it had been well used before it was issued to me and the lock didn't work just one time... There are better tools in the lineman's tool kit to use for a screwdriver than the TL-29. That particular TL-29 was a "combat loss" after it sliced my finger... I threw it in the nearest ditch and drew another new one later from supply. Never trusted it as a screwdriver after that, but I did use the knife blade almost daily to skive wire insulation.
