NOTABLE PAIRS : Only traditionals

[Emspop]

Man, I don't get to this thread often enough!!
Every pair on this page is certainly notable, but I'll specifically express my appreciation to Clay, who has THREE notable pairs here (more if you count all the Bucks)!!! I think the twin Case stag stockmans for you and your daughter are a fantastic concept as well as outstanding knives!

I have a bunch of Case CV chestnut jigged bone knives that I treasure and from which I could make quite a few notable pairs. I'll post one pair today and others in the future as I find the time (and the memory ). I'll start with a sowbelly stockman (thanks, Ron) and a peanut:

Thank you for the kind words my friend. Your picture has made me a fan of that case chestnut bone. What a striking color in that light!

Twin brothers from different mothers: Case pattern 37 Sodbuster Jr. and a Queen model 70 Country Cousin, both from 1978 (the Case blade is 1/8" longer).

- Stuart

Reminds me that Queen makes the best Sodbuster: the nicely rounded handles feel great in the hand, the blade is more pointed and with newer ones it's D2- no contest!

Thanks, Will

Great pair, super "pocketable."

Snapped a quick pic but I like these two paired together.

That's a great pair Jake I love how the Micarta ages, it so

Thanks, Clay! IMHO, you can't go wrong with Case chestnut jigged bone (and I consider the CV blades an added desirable feature)! I wish the dye jobs from one pattern to the next (or even one knife to the next for a given pattern) were a more consistent, but I don't regret getting any of mine (some generous gifts, some purchases). I've got a Sodbuster Jr (thanks, Bob), a Swayback Jack (thanks, Paul), a Sowbelly stockman (thanks, Ron), a peanut, and a mini trapper, and I plan to get a muskrat soon. I wish they still made a chestnut jigged bone canoe!

Snapped a quick pic but I like these two paired together.

Definitely a notable pair, Jake! That canvas micarta is sweet; I have some OD canvas micarta that's very pleasant!

35 brace.

What a fine pair pf 35s, Will! Clip, sheepsfoot, punch, and spear blades well-represented in a 2-knife set!

Added an example of what is fast becoming my favorite knife. Gec 152213 EC STL

That's a tremendous twosome of classic-styled jack knives, Clay!!

I'll post another pair of the Case chestnut jigged bone CV knives I've become so fond of. Peanut and Swayback Jack (thanks, Paul) today:

- GT

Nice pairs, Clay and Gary!
Here's a new Zebrawood I picked up to go with the ASCB! Love it, when Queen got it right!
I'll try for better pics after work.

I just got the bone handled new addition on bottom, with his South American counterpart

 

[Will Power]

The Queen Teardrop linerlocks are a fine knife for sure. I'm lucky enough to have one in WCSB, ACSB,BEM and Zebra.

I got one of these 68s recently, and I was just remarking to Paul wondering where they all are. The cam action is so smooth, and the Tidioute shield is a classic.

Two young ladies from Montana State University in the booth last weekend:

Both carrying my Coyotes. One in Osage Orange and one in Sheep Horn:

Great to see some young people with a passion for fine knives!

Two USA Schrades, an 807UH "J.R. Stockman" and an 885UH "King Ranch". I gave the 885UH to my father after he lost the knife that he had carried for years (decades, actually), and then I inherited it after he passed away. I've always had a passing interest in knives but wasn't much of an enthusiast, despite owning several fixed blades and traditionals and carrying one or more most of the time. A while back I was trying to get into modern folders but they just weren't inspiring me. Then I spotted this little used 807UH in the local knife shop and just had to have it. That did it. I started learning about Schrade and Case and other brands and now I have added several Cases and Rough Riders and Vics to my "collection" and my daily rotation.
