A.G. Russell model?

I picked up this little A.G. Russell folder at a gun & knife show today. I love the opening mechanism. It is marked "A.G. Russel" on one side of the blade and "Japan" on the other. Can anyone help me to identify the model name/number?

I think I remember that being called the "Funny Folder" but I wouldn't swear by it.

Rick is correct, that is the name or something similar, like funny flipper.

Rail and Sharp, thank for the hints. I now have a string to pull on with my research.

Copy of an older knife from the 1950s, maybe earlier. The design works well for a small knife.

I have a Stanley from the 1980s and an Omaha Hardwood Lumber advertiser of the same design.

And I have one from Belarus (Minsk, anyway; might have been Soviet when it was made). I have no idea of the age.
