MAN.... I LIKE those.... At first I thought I liked to top one best but after a few minutes of looking.....I just like 'em both!!
WOW....

A fine pair of blades Iman.

I've got a pair that's not as nice, but they are bigger

[Lansky1]

Buffalo Horn & Stag 32's ...

This is a pair of Case Tested switchblades made by Schrade. The 61214 1/2 is 4 1/8" closed and the 61215 1/2 is 5" closed.

That's a great pair there Jerry. Are those identical to their Schrade counterparts or did Case order them with some appreciable differences.

[KnifeSlinger#81]

Beautiful pair of switches Jerry.


Here's an identical pair of early stamp schrade walden 856 jr cattle knives.

Very nice pair Paul, me like.

I rather like this pairing. It would be better if the Mini-Trapper also had a Wharncliffe blade, but..............................

Paul, beautiful twin cattle knives. The handles exemplify peach seed.

....................but, I'm afraid both of these Wharncliffe Mini-Trappers would look downright dull next to the electric sparkle of that blue Kirinite, jerryd.

I think that smooth blue would look much better in hand (my hand of course) than it does in a picture.
If it ever starts taking up too much room, you know who to call.

Some people may think that owning three (or more) identical models of a single pattern is a sign of OCD...Well, they may be right...But I still can't help wondering if I'll ever have enough.

Thats a nice looking set of Lone Wolf Loveless's
Now I know why I can't find one to add to my collection. You have them all.

[jerryd6818]

Rough Rider Trapper and Mini-Trapper. Thanks to Scott for the full size edition.

The Schrade NRA Bicentennial Bowie is the only Schrade Bowie, that I am aware of, that has etching on both sides. When I had a second one re-handled in antique German stag, a few people of obviously poor character, the results of coming from a very shallow gene pool, suggested that I was being anal. I look at it as simply being thorough. After all, how else is a serious collector supposed to display both sides of such a beautifully etched knife?

[jerryd6818]

Some say why? Doug says, why not?

Makes perfect sense to me...although, I suppose you could set it on a 360 degree rotating stand surrounded by properly angled mirrors and indirect lighting...no one would think that was anal...right?!

Let's face it, us knife collectors are a special breed; and if you ain't one, it's unlikely you'll ever really understand what it's like to be one.

[dweb1897]

Thanks for understanding guys....I do like to think a little out of the box...and of course it helps that there's no wife to hinder my ideas.

and before anyone says these pic's don't belong in this thread, there are more than a couple pairs in both pics

was a dresser mirror...now a dresser knife display

was a coffee table...still is but if you set a coffee on it now and you'll get corrected

[jerryd6818]

of course it helps that there's no wife to hinder my ideas.

And that explains the lack of a governor on your knife purchases.
I too do not have a governor on my expenditures. How liberating.

[sam eib]

Well, Jerry, I was waitin' on you to do it, but I guess I'll have to do it myself.

Best pair yet

[jerryd6818]

Well, Jerry, I was waitin' on you to do it, but I guess I'll have to do it myself.

Sorry to disappoint you Mike. You did fine all by yourself.

dweb, Very creative use of materials resulting in beautiful displays. How do you secure the knives to the display?
