I used to watch gangster movies and westerns and I thought it was really classy who guys had matched sets of pistols. Since I can't pack a brace of 1911s I've gone and done the next best thing.

I have a mirror image matched set of Dalton customs coming today (will post pics when they get here and I wave them). I own a CS Rajah 2 and am contemplating buying another.

Love the look of those modded Spydercos CM. I've got a matching pair of Chinook III's that I love to carry "akimbo" as well!
 
I like to have matched sets because you never have to worry about using or abusing one knife when you have one just like it. I a matching pair of Delicas and a matching pair of Blue Smoke Kershaw Leeks.
 
First is a matched set, but different steels:

All the rest I'd consider Cousins, not exact sets, but variations of the same pattern.
 
These guys will be arriving on the 19th... I don't think I'll be cutting into them. Gonna do a zip tie wave.

I've got matching TilT's, 0777M390's, 0600's, 0560CBCF, Military M390, Military CTS-XHP, Para D2 sprint, Para 2 M390, Para 2 CTS-20CP, Para 2 CTS-XHP, Para 2 CTS-204p, Caly 3.5 Super Blue, Caly 3 Super Blue. So I have a few matching sets.
 
I like carrying two matching knives, or two knives that have a common "theme" (like and Endura and a Delica, or two variations of the same knife). If I could afford it, I'd own two of each knife I like.

If I had two CS Rajahs, I'd carry both.



What are these? (other than gorgeous)

I think I'm going to pull the trigger on a second Rajah 2 if I can find one for a good deal on the Bay. The knives in the pic are custom Southern Cross folders by Rob Dalton.
 
Just put a bid on a 2nd Rajah 2.
 
The twins came today. The zip tie wouldn't stay in place so I came up with another way to wave...

Two Yojimbo 2s and two Ronins (one is not in the picture and not signed by Mr. Mike Janich). Only one original Yojimbo at the moment. Looking to snag an illusive black G-10 model if it ever crosses my path.
