I bought both of these knives at the Airborne PX in Ft. Benning, GA, as a gift to myself after graduating jump school. That was in December of 1990. I have used the non-locking folder to clean dozens of salmon. The lockback is a 2 3/4" 501 Squire. I carried it to work when I was an attorney (back before metal detectors at courthouses) and then took it hunting with me too. I field dressed two or three deer with it, before getting another knife. I still have both knives.
