I imagine that collecting a set with matching serial numbers will be practically impossible.

That is a really nice set Bob. I do like the black delrin. I think all the folders have nice jimping ("engine turned") too which adds a touch of class for sure.
I'll post up a couple more pictures later showing some of the details. I'd also like to get a shot of the included paperwork and displays, for reference, if anyone else is collecting and wonders what all should be included (mine are in various stages of completeness regarding paperwork).
Bob, with regards your question about obtaining matching serial numbers,they would have to be in the lower numbers to achieve this as their production numbers were not identical..
GDOT 1 Large Stockman =19,833
GDOT 2 Small Stockman =15,215
GDB Barlow =12,000
GDOT Sharpfinger = 9,216 <This is why you see less of the Sharpfingers and more of the others>
I have all 4 absolute mint with correct/complete paperwork.
I love your examples and I have always thought these 70th Anniversary knives were amongst the most appealing/attractive Schrade ever produced....I sold another complete set of the 4 Mint with papers to an Australian collector not long back...he was more than happy to not have to wait to accumulate individually..

There was recent query about the numbers of each of the GDOT series...Post 7 gives the numbers for collector info..all the sets are shown mint in Boxes on Larry Vickery's Schrades R Us Collectors Corner Larry H Downunder...in fact there are many pages of most USA Schrades produced...
