Hi fellas, I am new here. I traditionally use case knives, they sort of are a family favorite. However, recently I have been looking for a bone pocket knife, but with a dark green/emerald color, and have not found many. Does anyone have any suggestions of a knife of good quality similar to the picture below:

Is there something wrong with the RR?
I have three of their XL stockmans, RR603 Synthetic Yellow series, RR1057 A Stroke of Luck (smooth shamrock green bone covers) and a RR1740 Classic Carbon. (also have a couple of the smaller "4 closed RR stockmans)
No blade wigglie wobblies, no gaps to speak of, no blade rub, hold an edge, all the blades are a "5" pull, springs are flush open and closed.
A great knife that perform well above their price point.
 
No, not to my knowledge. Outside case knives, I do not have any experience with any other brand of pocket knife, other than a few Remington knives. I liked the look of the RR, and if it performs well, then I might go with the RR
 
Rough Ryders are fine- I have two, myself. I use them as abusers most of the time.
Pretty good quality for the price, but I'm not super proud of them.

Case was also a family favorite in my household, but recently unless I can buy the Case knife in person I won't buy one.

Great Eastern Cutlery produces excellent knives mostly in 1095, but unfortunately their popularity and collectability make it almost impossible to get one first hand, and you'll pay out the nose second hand.

Boker still has a few good quality slip joints out there, you might consider them.

If you're interested in customs, there's a number of makers on this site who you could try to connect with.

Edited to add: and as far as "green" goes, you're going to be at the mercy of what's available.

Hang around these threads for a while and I am betting you will find something that goes on your want list. ;)☺️

The three darker green Case bone I currently have - L-R Peanut, Teardrop, Barlow. My personal favorite of the three is the teardrop.

Those look far better than they look in the pictures on their website. I for one love rich darker green colors, and the pics online look drab. However, seeing this picture makes me think otherwise. Thanks
 
Something to watch out for: if it looks like a nice rich dark green on a website pic...thats not always the way it looks in reality....eg this beautiful Canal St Canoe...the pic was a most appealing BRG...the reality very dark almost black...20220515_084743.jpg
Only certain angles reveal the rich greenery...
Point being it looks waaay different to the dealers web pic...20220515_085255.jpg
 
Some easy options.

If you're looking for something inexpensive Hen and Rooster has many options. Look for knives with GPB suffixes. This is the H&R 263-GPB:

One of my favorite makers is Henckels, more money but really nice knives. Look for models with either GP or GB suffixes in their part numbers. Some of Henckels dyed bone scales are very dark, it can be hard to tell the difference between colors, many of them appear to be almost black until you look at the scale edges. Here's a HK-25-GP:
