Re: Matchng Pairs
This may seem like an odd matching pair - a modern Northwoods Presidential paired with a 70+ year old Case Tested XX 06294. They have a lot in common: same size (4 1/4"), same frame type (equal end grooved bolsters), and spear master.
Re: Matchng Pairs
Good eye for spotting the similarities between those two beautiful knives from different makers and different eras. I guess it just proves that good traditional patterns are "traditional" for a reason. Good design never goes out of style.

Re: Matchng Pairs
Sweet pair RalphAlsip. Beautiful. Wow is all I can say. Incredible pair of knives, thanks for sharing, otherwise I would never see stuff like that old Case. And to me this screams the whole reason there is a GEC (or a Northwoods) is because Case quit making this kind of knife and left the door wide open for GEC to fill the niche. They did, and Northwoods is riding the same wave. Make a great knife like Case did a hundred years ago and they will sell. Guaranteed. My #15 Boys knife is the spitting image of my '65-69 Case 6235 1/2 Jack that Case doesn't make anymore. Almost the same frame and design. There are several copies of old patterns out there, more than coincidence could explain away.

I agree 1000% with both of you and was thinking the same thing as I was writing the post and uploading the pictures. Old Case knives are represented most in my collection followed by Remington. GEC / Northwoods comes in third.QTCut5 wrote:I guess it just proves that good traditional patterns are "traditional" for a reason. Good design never goes out of style.

Re: Matchng Pairs
Roger, I agree it does more resemble a Queen, but if you read Derrick B's description for the Northwoods Presidential he states that it was made by GEC.peanut740 wrote:Jerry your Northwoods I believe was made by Queen.GEC doesn't make a 4 1/4" cigar.Their cigar is 4 1/8".

Re: Matchng Pairs
How old is that knife?When we made our Kansas Cane Cutter a few months back GEC had no tooling for a 4 1/4" knife.

Re: Matchng Pairs
Roger, I believe the Presidential was produced in 2014. I re-measured the knife with my caliper instead of my 19 cent plastic ruler. I've had the caliper for a couple years and this is the first time that I actually measured something. Anyway, it turns out the Northwoods Presidential is 4 3/32" so not quite 4 1/8".
Now I know why my original Kansas Kane Kutter looks bigger than the fabulous recent model.

Re: Matchng Pairs
Since the Kansas Cane Cutter was mentioned regarding the GEC large cigar equal end frame... Here are pictures comparing the Northwoods Presidential and the recently released Maher & Grosh Kansas Cane Cutter. For good measure, an original Maher & Grosh Kansas Cane Cutter is also included. It's obvious the Northwoods Presidential and the recent M&G Kansas Cane Cutter are on the same frame. The only difference I see is the flat bolsters on the Presidential. I'm guessing the frame is either the GEC #53 or GEC #54. The original M&G Cane Cutter is noticeably larger in all dimensions.
Re: Matchng Pairs
Another great look at it. Sweet knife, thanks for the look. Check out the #98 Texas Camp Knife. Frame #98. Looks just like this one with the flat bolsters, the single fluted, the equal end. I'm betting it's a #98.

Re: Matchng Pairs
The M&G Cane Cutter was produced at the tail end of a run of GEC #54s, so it's a safe bet that it's also a #54. If I had to guess, I'd say the Northwoods is the same frame.
