Hard to believe they have that many years on them, Stuart. A fine looking pair.

They were given to me in that condition, Gary. I'm fortunate for that and obliged to keep them that way (I carry them in separate pockets - and no car keys with them either. Yep, I've got "pockety pants".)

Case(s) in point: Pattern 30 (1920-1940) and Pattern 47 (1978).

(Added 9/30/2017. After further research, I believe the top knife is a variation on the Pattern 53 equal end cattleman's knife and not a pattern 30, which is an equal end pen knife. Both the 30 and 53 patterns have been discontinued for some time and information on them is spotty. My knife does not have a pattern stamp on it. The dating is correct, though)

Brothers from different mothers? Both Case pattern 65 SAB Hunters from 1940-1964, but the green bone single blade had a rougher life (blade sharpened down, chip in mark side scale). Both still ready for work, though.

Here’s a notable pair of old Winchester barlows with diverging approaches to handle materials - one bone, the other celluloid.

Thank you Mr. Will, these knives are handcrafted and so they are all different from each other and yes they are friction folders!!!

As many of you already know, I am a huge fan of #25s so here are a couple of pairings:

I should also add a pair of Dowell's. Although I did not buy these at the same time or even from the same individual I have been told that these two were actually made at the same time therefore are siblings.
