Nice pair right there. That creamy Mammoth Ivory is absolutely amazing.

Can you explain the "Esnyx" etch on the pile side of the blade? I don't recall ever seeing that before.

He's Evan Esnyx, a guy who does custom knives now. He's been voted new maker of the year couple years ago and been featured at the Atlanta Blade Show or whatever it is, and is up and coming in the knife making arena. He's a cool dude too, very nice gent. Anyway, our own Gunstock Jack used to have him make some incredible one offs, customized one of a kind pieces, and just sweet knives overall from GEC originals that he modifies. Now I think he's done with that, does his own. He put the custom Mammoth on this one and some with bone. Every one was a one of a kind, beautifully done.

I-Man, I'll trade you this baby here for your white-bone one, I think the blue makes a better "Matching Pair" to the blue bone model

I just picked up two Case tested USA era knives and matched them up with the same model in Case XX era knives that I already had. They are pattern no's 5392 & 6232.____Dave

Great looking knifes . 32 and 92 are my favorite patterns. Can’t hardly ever pass one buy when I see one.

Good match.

Man don't they look good together. Wow, that is some fabulous bone color and texture. ACSB must stand for Awesome Carved Stag Bone.

Ya'll got some very nice knives posted here! Haven't seen the entire thread yet, but so far, very impressive! Here is one of my pairs .... Ole and Young Bucks.

Now that is what you call a "mic drop"!

Amazing pairs, Kevin...each set better than the last. Some mighty fine eye candy you got there. WOW!!!

Thanks Q! Always appreciate your feedback... Hope you are doing well and enjoying the holidays.
It was cold and rainy here today, so I got bored and dug a few out for pictures.

Stunning display of pairs Kevin, well done!

Thanks QS! Appreciate your feedback.

Sunny and warm here today (as it is most every day! ) - perfect weather for showing my three Queen ACSB Copperheads.
Matching in pattern (Copperhead) and handle material (ACSB), but how many differences can you find?
I found five (Seven if you know what's on the pile side of the OKCA model's blade )

Beautiful knives Q! Love the ACSB on those...

I think I see the same differences as you.

-154CM blade steel & #24 stamped on the pile side of the blade on the OKCA model
-Shields
-Tang Stamps
-Blade Etch
-41L is a Liner Lock & I think it may be called a Mini-Hunter and the pivot bolster is a bit different from the other 2 copperheads
-And of course, the QTCut patented Wharncliffe Mod.

Good job, Kevin! You found them all including the "hidden" differences.

And I just noticed another difference in the placement of the nail nick on the #41L. Extra credit for me...

Those Queen knives sail my boat!
