What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

When I decided I wanted to start collecting knives, (about 6 years ago), I went the cheap route and picked up a dozen or more Rough Riders. This stockman may have been the 2nd or 3rd of my pickups and not at all a disappointment. Nice F&F, no gaps at springs/liners, very nice blade action and snap, plus pocket friendly with almost sunken joints. I dyed the orange bone with some brown RIT a few years back to give it a mottled look. The one thing I would change if I could would be to eliminate the match strike nail nicks. All things considered, it's a good knife to carry on occasion.

Thank you kindly my friend… I’ve got IT (newbie) in my hands as it’s just arrived!!
You prolly know what I mean;):thumbsup::thumbsup:
Saving it for Monday.

No, no… I got the message just fine pal !!
It’s really been a dry run for newbies lately, other than yours and some more from our exchange for say a six month period.
I just thought about the meaning of “new” and how it pertains to the present. I’ve had some seriously great luck lately and hope it continues!! I thank you again !!!
Wunderful daily pairings you’re showing as well and those quotes top it all off :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:

If ya ever find yourself in a bathtub full of water with an unlit cigar in yer mouth and a strike anywhere match in yer hand with nothing rough to strike the match on, you'd welcome a knife with match strike pulls.:rolleyes: Just sayin:)

Not an issue at my house, Ed. :) I don't use the bathtub, I only shower, Plus the wife makes me smoke all my cigars outside or on the front porch. ;)
Although it would be kinda cool to relax in a tub with a whiskey & cigar, like the old cowboys in the movies do after coming off a long stretch on a cattle drive or a bank robbery.🤠
