What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Canoes of the Week are from Case and Rough Rider.
Case canoe from 1965-69 time frame (thanks, Tim); a Top Ten canoe for me:

Rough Rider canittler; my first RRs were a set of 12 different patterns, all in amber jigged bone, and that's still one of my favorite covers from RR:

I enjoyed using yesterday's pair, so once again.
I like the artful swedging and old style matchstriker pull on the SW.
Over sharpened some, and very lazy main. Either somebody forgot to OIL THE JOINTS, or the tang or spring didn't get the final hardening after annealing.
Oh well, I mostly use the two smaller blades.

Me is challenging Self to only carry knives with that new fangled "Stain Less" steel for at least 30 consecutive days. 🤨🙄
I's Case 10375SS in for the Western 742 Stockman.
A LM Charge+ TTI (on a done diddit myself 28" chain lanyard) with accessories; Bit Kits 1 (Incomplete. Two slots were empty when I inherited it.), and Bit Kit 2, and a thrifty aftermarket 1/4" bit ratchet that works with LM's proprietary flat bits) on belt in a camo LM sheath, is giving my Western 062 Folding Hunter a vacation.
The Toferner is finally getting a vacation. It has been on duty pretty much every day since 10/11/21.

Me's recently purchased pre-owned standard VIC Huntsman, clipped to a VIC belt drop that I has had for at least 18 or 19 years, and the VIC Mini Champ remain on duty.

EDIT:
I just checked a new bit kit #1. Seems the bits what is A.W.O.L. is the square drive #1 & 2, and the #1 and smaller than #1 Phillips.
Since LM has a 20% off "sale" (and for a single bit kit purchase adds more than 20% for the shipping and sales tax 🙄) I (with Me & Self's agreement) decided to "pass" on ordering a new bit set #1. 🙄
Besides ... a 1/4" and 1/8" bit sets with drivers (and a adapter to use 1/8" bits on a 1/4" bit driver) are part of our long term EDC. (kept in my rollator walker's tote/shopping/tool bag) we already have the missing bits (and more) if I, Me, or Self ever need them. 😁👍
