Thrifty Thursday... Cheap Traditional Knives

Post 1991 (it has the multi-use "package hook") Vic Huntsman I found used (in like new condition) on the big auction site for under $17.⁰⁰ shipped.
Upgraded to Pen slot Plus Scales, red side tools (that don't stick out like a bare pinkie toe that discovered an immovable object (E.G. coffee/end table, chair leg, etc.) in a pitch black room, while traveling at high speed.🤯😳😭😭) and the pen.
The covers were gifted to me.
With the added cost of the new side tools, pen, and fob, I still have under $24.⁰⁰ including shipping invested in it.
I "think" up to $30 still qualifies as "thrifty", considering inflation ... 😇👍
(tho I do miss the new under sub $7.⁰⁰ to $12.⁵⁰ Rough Rider and Marbles ... and the slightly more spendy Colt's. 😢)

(New orange ball head pin was "donated" by my new sewing kit ... It lacked a red ball headed pin.)

Very "thrifty" knife. 1975  WESTERN Demo Knife the Army Reserves gave me when I joined that year. (For some reason they did not want it back, after I was given an unwanted by me the remainder of this "lifetime" (honorable) discharge 3 days after I arrived at Ft. Jackson, SC. for basic. (Took 12 days for the paperwork.) I never got past the reception center. 🤬 I wanted at least 20 years.
The Arkansas stone is also thrifty. Under $6.²⁰ shipped. 🤯😮

Good looking canoe.

Thanks, Steve. :)
Like the vast majority of my RR knives, the tortoiseshell canoe has 440A blades.
(I used to have only 3 RRs with carbon steel blades, all with the yellow synthetic covers (Canoe, Sowbelly Stockman, and Folding Hunter), but I think I have a few more now with a variety of covers.)
