Matchng Pairs
Re: Matchng Pairs
I really like that slimline trapper. That pattern sure looks good with the sabre ground blade.
I have a hard time trusting someone who doesn't like dogs...but if my dog doesn't like someone, I'll trust that.

Here's a pair of Case Wharncliffe Trappers...different patterns, sizes and shields, but wearing matching Rattle Snake 'scales'.

I already had the carbon steel Richards and I picked up the stainless today.

Re: Matchng Pairs
It was not intended... but ended up with two Schrade Cut Co. fruit / melon / meat / tester knives (how many names can a knife have?).
The handles at first fooled me as I thought I was looking at jigged bone in the photos... but turned out to be some sort of black plastic composition (that's pre−1945) with "reverse" (raised) jigging. The one to the right still has a faint etch on the blade reading "SWIFTS TABLE READY MEATS"...

Re: Matchng Pairs
Just noticed this Pal Cut Co 2 blade I've had for years is close to the same in many areas with this Ed. K Tryon I just picked up. Down to the size, dimensions, bone color, the protruding bone that is not flush with bolsters, but has a distinct shoulder of an 1/8 inch, etc. Like they were made in the same factory. Wonder if they were? Also wonder what the age of either is since the companies used the same stamp for decades at a time but I think both went out of business in the '50s so should be older than that anyway. Nice knives though, nothing wrong with either and they look like bone no one is doing these days.

Re: Matchng Pairs
I swore I wasn't going to pick up anymore repeats of knives I already own...But, then I had to go sniffin' and snoopin' around looking for more of my favorite Queen pattern: 042151...and...well...resistance was, as they say, futile.

Re: Matchng Pairs
Hey QT, you think your bad. I'm on to my 3rd 76' queen #19 trapper. I keep getting lucky with them. Next 2 that are coming in i got for $65 each. And they are both mint. First one is mint but i payed $85. Still pretty cheap for the harder to find tang stamp. I guess when i get me more money i'll be on the lookout again

Re: Matchng Pairs
Here is my matching pair, for this pattern, actually 5 matching pairs of Camillus 14s.

Re: Matchng Pairs
I picked up a couple Toothpicks. Keep one and dump the other. Never owned one. Both impeccable knives, great stag, Giraffe bone, great colors, snap, action, centering, like you would expect, tight, no slop, mild snap. But what jumped out at me was the big bump on the spine of the Northwoods blade and how far that long pull clip makes the blade stick out when closed. That's big to me. And the blade is so much thicker near the tip, and wider, and less sleek and smooth. The Northfield is flat ground, the whole blade is thinner, narrower, sleeker, and much lighter. Barely sticks out at all when closed, so much more narrow in the pocket, less obtrusive. I like the stag better than the Giraffe and I LOVE the no shield look. I like the Northwoods steel liners and pins better than Northfield brass though. Just me.

Re: Matchng Pairs
Ivoryman, thank you for taking the time to describe the 2 knives. Obviously the blades are shaped differently, but the size difference and pocketability consideration is very apparent in you side-by-side photo.Ivoryman wrote:

A pair of Craftsman knives that are not exact matches.

Re: Matchng Pairs
Love a good Swayback. This Lambfoot brought to you by Charlie C., GEC, and Gunstock Barry, with a couple I already had thrown in. Couldn't be more pleased. Blew me away. Looks, build, feel, finish, has it all. Maybe the best GEC I've ever had. And the pattern rocks, nothing to disappoint. 47 used to be fave and the Mammoth shown is one of them. The 93 might be fave, maybe, I don't know, tough call. Both rock Right up there with the Tim Britton custom in the stag. Imagine I'm giving the Waynorth salute. Hats off and home run from land of the Bills, Buffalo N.Y.

In poker, three of a kind beats a pair. These are my Camillus 21 triplets (with various degrees of blade usage/sharpening).
