Thrifty Thursday... Cheap Traditional Knives

[5K Qs]

A Rough Rider improved muskrat in the lighter version of smooth tobacco bone. Cost $6.57 plus shipping (an order with 11 knives cost $10 to ship) and taxes (that I had to self-report and pay on my state tax return).

Happy Thursday everybody! I’m looking forward to taking an occasional break from w**k today to admire some penny-wise pocket pieces so thanks in advance...

I've got the Lone Ranger, Hopalong Cassidy, and Gene Autry.

Do you have the corresponding Bowie Knives, Moose, and Barlow's to go with them?
All I have are the (Rough Ryder) moose, for Gene Autry, Red Rider with Lil' Beaver, Hopalong, and Roy Rogers.
The Bowie Knives (with display rack) "cost too much", and the Barlow are a mite difficult to locate, since they been discontinued.

I sense economy in this one. No name.

Nope, none of those.
I am attracted to the old style souvenir knives with bails, like I used to buy as a kid.

$10 thanks to a member here on the exchange.
Just posting this thing everywhere today but it doesn't get much camera time anyway.

Atco, Japan. Thrifty, useful, no frills -- but with nice, old, honey-gold sawcut bone. More, commas, anyone?

As thrifty as you can get, free in my tire plug kit.
Check out the fine edge they put on the blade...

Here's a Rough Rider canoe with covers that were called "root beer celluloid" on my original invoice in June 2017, but the box I received calls the covers "Painted Desert", and that's the name I've usually seen subsequently.

Picked up this knife for $15... that's a good price for lobsta'

When the vinyl stickers arrived today, they were a little smaller than advertised, making it hard to find one that would fit the handle without too much white space around it.

A Rough Rider canoe with stag bone covers that I bought in the summer of 2017.

I didn't find RR's stag bone very impressive back then, but I think they've improved substantially since then. Here's a small stag bone cotton sampler from the summer of 2019 that does impress me (but doesn't meet my "thrifty" criterion):

Good old Mora. The SAK of FBs?

Looks like this one was plated.

Kool thread start John

I used to buy these for under ten bucks at pawn shops everywhere. I think this was used to cut guitar strings so the scissors’ tips are mangled, and this one cost two
