Maybe but I think this RG0828 was made by Schrade (just an opinion)
And I know this RG70 was made by Camillus.

Re: Rigid Trapper Gaucho R 55
I should have clarified - I was talking about the original Rigid that was in business in the 70's to 80's, founded by former Buck employees.
That original company had Case make them four patterns of slipjoints circa 1982.
In recent years, the Rigid trademarks were sold, and a wide variety of knives were made by a number of companies including Canal Street, IIRC.
