Adding to carry. Arrived in this A.M.'s mail call.
Not sure if it qualifies as a "traditional", even though an old pattern/design, albeit virtually unheard of/unknown today. (Remington and Smith & Wesson offered one in the 1980's. They were not the first, however.)

I've sent photos to one of our fine moderators. If the knife is approved for traditionals, I'll show the opening sequence. (It has a "Tanto" blade. I don't know if that is allowed. Also, while not attached to the blade, the frame extention could be considered a "thumb bar". Clarification on that was requested.)

In the included faux leather dangler sheath that has been added to my belt 😁👍:

Closing is the reverse.
No blade lock, however, because the handle halves pivot 90° from each other there is no chance of the blade closing accidentally.

Looking at the frame extension, I believe it is a cap lifter.
"Someday" I might have a beverage that will allow me to test this theory.

I've always loved the funny folders. AG Russell makes a much more visually traditional funny folder that is functionally the same (minus the caplifter).

I always get a kick out of the traditional knives that don't look traditional, and modern knives that look traditional. Peregrin Peregrin shares a lot of pairings of modern looking traditionals and traditional looking moderns that I really enjoy.
