Two blade opposite end knives

You're welcome GT. I guess our changing taste is a good thing for the cutlery business. :eek::)
It's been a pleasure to see the postings that have been added since it was revived. I hope to see even more.:thumbsup::thumbsup:
That is an enviable fleet of canoes you have Gary! The ram's horn is clearly my favorite or maybe it's the tortoise shell or the curly maple or stag or... ;)
Have a great week my friend.
:D
Same to you, sir! :thumbsup::cool::cool:
An important sub category of the TBOE (two blade opposite end) is the TBEE (pronunced tea-be ;)) or two blade equal end of which the following are wonderful examples.

Marvelous moose mod! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:
I agree that the equal end TBOEs are an enchanting sub-category, and the Churchill is a fetching GEC example! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:

Actually, that’s a “Pioneer Apprentice.”

@Frailer, you're my SAK hero! ;):thumbsup::thumbsup:
Those Pioneer TBOE variations are superb, and you seem to have an example of every Alox model ever made!! :D:thumbsup::thumbsup:

I'll post a couple of SAK TBOEs, in case anyone has a taste for alphabet soup :rolleyes::

They are still looking good my friend! :thumbsup: I’m blushing Will! Thank you for the kind words. ;) It was a pleasure to be able to gift them to you Sir! And your reciprocal gifts were very much appreciated! Stay safe my friend. :) :thumbsup:
 
John, you probably will not be surprised to learn that I think you have yourself an exceptional knife right there! :thumbsup:;):thumbsup:

It's just a Case muskrat, with the "ratcliffe" mod ... here's one more for the road --->
