I love the look of the "Rotten Banana." I've seen it on another thread also.Ivoryman wrote:Beautiful Windsor, great pair, matches enough for me.
Here's a pair of 85 Bullet ends that don't match at all, but in pattern. I like the EZ open cut out myself, but the Rotten Banana looks pretty good.

Re: Matchng Pairs
These pictures are of a Northwoods Presidential red Italian jigged bone (GEC 54 frame) and a GEC 54 large jack (5421 17). Both knives are 4 1/8" closed. The Northwoods has flat bolsters (which I prefer) and 2 blades. The GEC has a single blade with half stop. The bone jigging pattern is different. The red coloring is comparable, especially in the top & bottom views. The smooth hafted part of the bone on the GEC is a brighter red than the jigged part of the handle. The back spring on the Northwoods is a little thicker and the blade spine on the Northwoods primary spear blade at the tang is thicker, but is stepped down 3 times to accommodate the secondary blade.

Here’s mine. The brown celluloid and the silver pair are both Richards while the two little daggers are just a couple of ‘for fun’ knives I got at the swap meet.

Re: Matchng Pairs
'Matching Pairs', as this popular thread shows, can mean many things. Knife types, Styles, sizes, Scale material, metal material, and many other defining categories. One of the popular parings of knife types by knife manufacturing companies, would be the Case knife company's own pairing of their Cheetah knife, with their Cheetah Cub knife. This pairing is right down my ally, as these two knives have become my latest 'favorite carry knives'. Here is a picture of one of my favorite pairs. Thanks for letting me share them with you.

Hey All,
Not in Yet, pair of vintage Imperial USA PROV R. I. Toothpicks picked up off the bay for pretty decent price. How do they look? They look pretty nice to me, especially the black bone one.

Re: Matchng Pairs
Hi, All;
This thread is one of the most entertaining, educational, satisfying thread that I'v ever have the pleasure of taking part in. Anyone can find their wants, needs, and interests addressed in it, and share them with an truly appreciative group.
Well, Folks I'v just spent the last of several tries, each a couple of hours in length, trying to take and download pictures to use in this forum, and thread, and failed each time. There is absolutely no way, that I can learn to use the new system, of this new computer, that replaced my old computer. I relay hate to give up, but I have no choice. A couple of Old sayings sum it up nicely, "You Can't Teach An Old Dog New Tricks" , and "All Good Things Must Come To An End".
I would like to thank all of the members of AAPK, that have allowed me to share our experiences, ideas, 'tricks', dislikes etc. It's been a source of great enjoyment for me, but, I can no longer participate.
Goodbye.

I really like that slimline trapper. That pattern sure looks good with the sabre ground blade.

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.
