Historical knife pattern question

[Jeff Venture]

What would be a historical pattern of knife available today that was common in the 20's and 30's?(probably a folder european or American) I was thinking of starting a historical progression collection and this seems to be a blind spot where data is concerned. Any help would be appreciated

for example:

A.G. Russell's Arkansas Toothpick

… The 4-3/4" modified Wharncliffe handle and the 3-1/2" California Clip blade take us back to the 1920's and 30's when a knife of this shape and size was the weapon of choice for country knife fighters all through the South and Mid-West.

… This shape of knife probably cleaned more deer in the South between 1900 and 1942 than all other types of knives put together.

I haven't been involved with antique knife collecting for very long, but of the knives dating from that time period I seem to have seen a fair number of the following:

Regular jack, especially two blade, with either clip or spear main blade
Three blade cattle knife
Two blade pen knife
Easy-open jack
Three blade whittler
