This pre WW2 Camillus easy open spends a lot of time in my pocket, the old steel takes a razor edge easily.

Nice Indian trail on the Robeson fishhunter
 
A "new" one that is older than the c.1947-1953 Imperial Engineer's knife I showed a few pages back.
No newer than 1939.
Robeson 622110 ShurEdge "English Jack".
Jigged bone covers. No blade wobble, takes (and holds) a keen 10 DPS/20° Inclusive edge, making it a great slycer. 😁👍

A favorite when I don't carry a stockman. 😁👍
I really like the jigging on the knives of this period. I wish asymmetrical jigging like this was available today. Modern jigging is so boring ... IMHO. Too symmetrical.
 
This LF&C jackknife gets occasional pocket carry, it has a version of "Gum Fuddy" handles. OH
