Thrifty Thursday... Cheap Traditional Knives

It’s everything I want in a pocketknife. The quality is there. The lock release is smooth and easy. It’s sharp. The only nitpick is I can do without the blade etch but that’s not a big deal. It’s the ideal size and it’s not so expensive as to stop me from using it as needed. Whenever I can’t decide what to carry, if I grab it I’m satisfied. I’m carrying it now with my Moki. In fact, I like it enough that I searched today to see if it came in other covers. Nope!

Thanks for the reply, Alan; quite a testimonial! ;) :thumbsup::cool:
I'll have to decide which model from that series to put on my wish list; my first inclination is to go for the sowbelly "whittler".

440A or T10 blade?
Looks nice. 👍

The blade is stainless, but I see no steel ID on the blade itself; I'm guessing 440A.
Thanks for the compliment. :) I think it (and the sheath) look good, although the silver rings on the handle between the brown and black pakkawood sections are not flush with the wood, so I think that doesn't feel as smooth as I'd like. And the overall length is 6.25" with 3.25" blade, so the handle, at 3" is shorter than I'd like. But I'm quite pleased with it at a price less than the teens of dollars.

Today is the 6th of 8 consecutive weeks in which I'll post one of the thrifty new knives I bought last December. This one is a Rough Ryder Texas Star sowbelly stockman. Coincidentally, I used it last night to cut up some cauliflower and broccoli for supper. I'll probably carry it for "patriotic occasions" (I suppose that could be this entire 250th year of the USA), since I don't have any other good red/white/blue knives. This one is a little short on stars, but other than that, it's quite nationally festive.
