A Matched Pair: GEC + Case

[JonMcD]

Two blades or three? Round or square bolsters? But about the same size....

But I’m tellin you, a red knife by itself will be dull. But a red knife paired up with an amber or stag knife…pow! That’s a sharp knife!

Sry JohnDF Jon0385 and all the other red knife fans…

I’m of the opinion that red knives just need a bit of help to look good!

They do need help... They need a patina and then Bam! They look good.

Red and patina…peanut butter and Jelly.

The vacation may be over, yet the matching goes on.... but my last pairing I think.
Birds of a Feather

I think this was my favorite pairing yet - either this or the pruners. It’s just not fair when you add in the Bose colabs!

I’m sure if you dig in the back of those knife drawers you could find some more pairings! Yours have been quite entertaining!

 

[JonMcD]

I’ll toss in a few more pairs…even if there are a few repeat appearances…

color match (or lack thereof) is a stretch, but callin out the green bone on these two …

 

[JohnDF]

Those look great together.

Two classy pen knives in red. Can't go wrong with either of them.

I’ll update this thread with two wharncliffe trappers!

Last year I started this thread to entertain myself during vacation. I’m going to take a whirl at doing it again. Several of my Case compatriots have left the stable, but I find that I have just enough members on the team to make a seven day contribution.

I’ll start the journey off with this lovely Barlow pair.

Join in the fun and toss in your favorite GEC/Case duo.
