Re: Matchng Pairs
Great stuff FRJ, beauties.
These aren't exact matches obviously but just noticed the handle shape is very close to a match. Never noticed this before but one of my favorite discontinued Case patterns is a lot like the GEC 15. What a coincidence. Both great knives though, even with different blades.

Some prime time knives posted here, absolutely gorgeous. Here's a couple of working Buck bantams, one that sports a brother Scott made lanyard that is kinda cool. Thanks Scott.

Re: Matchng Pairs
Thanks to (Kootenay Joe) I now have a pair of Cam III Dingo"s. You don't see these very often. I carry the one on the bottom as a dress knife once in a while.

Both are very sweet knives, but I really love that GEC. Still looking for my first GEC, I just haven't found the right one yet.

Re: Matchng Pairs
If you were lucky enough to get a pre-order on the GEC sheepsfoot Barlow coming in September, that might make a nice first GEC.

Re: Matchng Pairs
These two, same pattern, different handles, ebony & bloodwood.
I've carried the ebony on several occasions but can't bring myself to carry the bloodwood. To pretty to me to scratch and ding just yet.

Victorinox Professional Grade Horticultural Wharncliffe. This model was never given a special moniker by the company or sold to the general public (catalogs provided by Victorinox just show model numbers, and only a few versions were named and sold to civilians). It was discontinued in 2014.

Re: Matchng Pairs
My favorite blade type is the Wharncliffe. From my collection these are my personal favorites.
Made by the Rigid Knife Company and Parker USA "Benchmade" series in the 1970's or 80's and have a modified Wharncliffe blade and a top-lock.
There maybe others with different handle material in this series, but I've never found documentation showing all the different types.
I just got the second large one a few weeks age.
Large size is 4.25 Closed
Small size is 3.25 Closed

Re: Matchng Pairs
Looking through this thread and found an old post of mine referring to a missing rough black 06267. Here it is, along with the rest of the family.Mumbleypeg wrote:Thanks Jerry. The 06267 is one of my favorite patterns, and somewhat scarce from any era. I have a nice Tested XX 06267 in rough black somewhere but it didn't make it into the pictures.RalphAlsip wrote:Ken, I like your 6267's especially the long pull examples![]()

Thanks Larry.
Here's a pair of old whittlers you don't see often either. Posted elsewhere but they fit this thread also (plus, I just like showing them.)

Re: Matchng Pairs
Larry, those 11's are rare indeed. Stunners! I like big knives, and those certainly fill the hand. Have you ever seen a 6211-1/2?
