These two.

Here's a pair of German folding Bowies A Hoffritz and a Bower both with nice fat stag.____Dave

A pair of Frary boys knives, one from a local
Flea market and one off of eBay. Both in nice shape.

I've been meaning to take pictures of this pair for a while. I like how two examples of the same knife made in the same timeframe can have such diversity in the bone. The individuality of old knives is great.

Dave, those are fabulous old knives.
Do you know how long they are folded and open?

Thanks Joe. They are 12 inches open and 8 1/2 closed. The blade sticks out 4 1/4 inches closed. ____Dave

Both of these knives have issues but they still make a good pair.

Pair of Henry Sears and Son 1865 folding hunters, one original and one with replaced stag, both from back when the Queen marking was there's to use.____Dave

Very good looking cutlery Dave.

Today my contribution to this topic is, this pair of Camillus 72, short line, "whittler" pocket knives.

A rare pair of Case 6207 Trappcliffes--only three currently known to exist in the world (four if Lansky1 has finished Trappcliffifying his orange 07 before I get this posted).

One of my favorite carry knives, old patchy (schrade walden 856), may have some new competition from this shapleigh branded variant.

Very good looking knives everyone.

Today, my matching pair of knives is this pair of McGrew "whittler" pocket knives.

Here are some at least close to matching pairs. Looks like the 83's are a little dark. I will try to do better next time.

Just when you thought you'd seen it all...

An apparently run-of-the-mill pair of Caribbean Blue Case 6207W Mini Trappers...

Nice knives everyone.

Here is a pair of Camillus 72(Y), YELLO-JAKET, "whittler" pocket knives.

Everybody loves a set of good looking twins! Awesome knives everyone!! I’ll change it up a bit —here two of my every day kitchen knives..An old Queen and an old Keen Kutter .. got both for a pittance..that Keen Kutter holds an edge forever..
