That hollow bolster Yellow beauty's "shield" almost makes her look like an automatic. (Imperial, Hammer Brand, and Colonial all made an automatic like that.)
However, the nail nick, and no safety slide say: "I'm a slipjoint."
Very nice fish knife. Is the secondary a fish scaler?
Any idea what decade it dates from?

The SAK Huntsman remains on duty.

This might be my combo of the year.

The Huntsman is disqualified for my 2024 KOTY. I got it 10-17-23.

HOWEVER! The VIC Huntsman may qualify as my KOTC (Knife Of The Century) or at least my most carried knife of the century.
I carried a Ruby scaled Huntsman every day from early December, 2001 to Nov. 2019 (less 3 months) when it was lost when I moved to this assisted living facility, and pretty much carried the Year Of The Ox Huntsman since 10-17-23. (On days not carried it was with-in reach.
So, call it "19 Years and counting" I've carried a Huntsman.
Since I doubt I have another 19 years to go*, it is highly unlikely I will carry something else longer this century.
(*I doubt I will see my 85th birth anniversary - let alone the 89th. Truth be said, I ain't so sure I want to see them. 🤔🤨)

Presuming they put the pocket knives I want in my pocket when I get planted, the Huntsman will still win "most carried in the 21st Century and beyond" since it will be on my belt (or in my Sporran, if I'm wearing a Kilt) when I am planted. 😇👍
