AG Russell Cowboy
The top one is quite large, thin, and very inexpensive. Seems well built for the price. Stainless blade and slip joint action. 3-5/8" blade length.
The smaller one in red is called a Rancher.
From the description on the website:
"For years, I have been an admirer of the Sodbuster class of knives. My favorites were always those made by Eye Brand of Solingen Germany, sadly now gone. Sodbuster, of course, is now a Case[emoji768] Cutlery trademark, so I cannot offer you an A.G. Russell Sodbuster. Instead, I offer two variations: the A.G. Russell Rancher and the A.G. Russell Cowboy. Both blades are 8Cr13MoV at 57-58 Rc. Very properly flat ground to a fine cutting edge, this shadow pattern slipjoint has the very dressy Federal Shield found on higher priced A.G. Russell bolstered knives. Both models have been cycle tested in our own shop to more than 200,000 cycles of opening and closing. To keep the price as low as we possibly can, they do not have belt pouches or clips - they are true pocketknives.
The Cowboy, a larger version of the Rancher, big enough to trim a hoof, butcher, skin or perform any of the other tough jobs a cowboy or farmer might be called on to do. This hand filling slipjoint measurers 4-3/8" closed with a 3-5/8" long and 1" wide blade. Makes a fine hip pocket knife or will ride with comfort in your overalls or chaps pocket. This is a knife for the toughest challenges a slipjoint can be put to. It is less than 1/2" thick and weighs about 3.4 oz. Made in China."
