I recently acquired one of these rough rider pliers knives from my favorite flea market vendor and since then it has seldom left my pocket. I have looked high and low for another of this pattern, after no luck I concluded that it was a new pattern and that the only similar patterns were on SAKs and they are not quite the same anyway I recently came across this one made by valley forge from the twenties ? I guess I just wanted ask the forum whether anyone knows of other iterations of thus pattern. ( this valley forge one is prohibitively expensive >500$)

I'm looking through Levine's Guide, 2nd edition, page 264 and this knife is pictured. Says it was offered in a 1925 Von Lengerke & Antoine catalog as a radio knife.
Levine also says some were stamped Boker (Boker owned Valley Forge) and some were made on contract for Case.
This pattern was patented by Charles Undy of Newark NJ.
