Great pairs Jeff!

If we're going way back, I haven't posted these in a while. A nice pair of twins.

Went on a crisp walk today, the sun is shining but the wind is on the cutting side. The Ohio River is dropping at this particular pool

Picked these two up at an antique shop today. The smaller one is a Hoffritz marked Hoffritz NY Made in Germany. The larger of the two is marked Clauss Fremont Ohio USA. I just read that in the 1920’s Fremont, Ohio was known as the “Cutlery Center of the World”. Both knives are in good working order.

Dark bone with some faux jigged for comparison.

I know Delrin is tougher, but bone has a detail and richness of color that molded plastic just can't match.

Been lovin' this pair. They just look so good together!

Some pictures comparing a 1930's Fairmount Jack and a GEC #66 Jack
The Fairmount is elegant and slim, while the GEC is more robust. Both are fantastic!

Two great pocket carrys there John. I've never seen or heard of a Fairmount knife before, that is an elegant knife.

Thank you very much.
The Fairmount was a Camillus brand.

Thank you very much.
The Fairmount was a Camillus brand.

Just a note, Fairmount is the town just East of Camillus in Central NY.

It is quite the handful. Well suited for lumberjacks and strongmen.
