What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Here's another recent stockman addition that I took Up North with me for the last 2 weeks of August. It's a Rough Ryder medium stockman shadow pattern with black and blue aluminum covers, screws instead of pins, and VG-10 blades.
It slices:

It looks good with all blades open or all blades closed:

It maintains its composure even when held captive by drunken Captain Cookie:

Today's carry is another "Serpentine Jack". This one is a Taylor-Schrade 93 OT. I'm quite partial to this knife. I did need to thin the point on the clip to give it an actual point, but other than that it is well made. The combination of sheepsfoot and California Clip allows the nail nicks to be on the same side, something I wish Case would do with more of their patterns. (with apologies to left handed knife knuts.)

Here’s today’s dirty thumbnail carry, an old Russell barlow, for which I have several reproductions. Stamp’s not great on this knife but I believe it’s the real thing.

To add to what Tyson A Wright Tyson A Wright was trying to show you about the Middle Pin in the covers and then show you the proper location of the Pivot Pin which must be above and below the Arrow depending on which side you are looking at . Mark Side = Above and Pile Side = Below .

The Original Russells And Stamp of RUSSELL was in a Straight Line . I can not see yours much at all but it appears that it maybe be in an Arch . If it is then there are a few other Tell Tales . The Arched Stamp was started in approx. 1934 .
There were some Fake Russells made but there also were some Commemorative ones made with no pretense of being real Russells . In this photo the one on the Left and the top 3 in the Middle . I hope this helps you some . Congrats on finding what I expect is after 1933 real Russell that has barely been used .

Edited to add : Middle rows going down = Schrade , Colonial , and Probably Boker and then the Grandaddy on the Left = Colonial

A more significant change than planned this A.M..
Received in today's (08-27-24) A.M. mail call, from Mr. Sir draggat draggat , a most generous fellow.
2017 Guardian's SFO Lambfoot, dressed in Iornwood.
After oiling the joint, and stropping, it went into my RFP.
I'm looking forward to creating the patina theough actual use. 😁👍
I decided to pair it with my 391222 Blade Forums Bunny Knife, number 291.

(Still not re-shown: SAK Hercules on a belt loop, and the Toferner, hiding out under my shirt.)

I have a feeling I will be able to choose a single 2024 KOTY. Too many contenders. 😳

I'm going to buy a Western, Denver, CO. two blade slipjoint folding hunter (1095 blades and origial sheath) with "Steve" engraved on a bolster and the shield, on or about 09-01-24.
Since it has my name on it (no. I am not counted among its former owners) I may take it with me (along with a "few" others) when I get planted in +/- 14/15 years or so.
(I don't want my doctor to dig me up and kill me, for going to the next life before I hit 82 in this life.
Sense 14 or 15 years will make me 83/84, 1 or 2 past her minimum, so she won't have cause to dig me up and kill me. 😁👍)
