I learned about these SFOs too late. Very nice.

A pair:

A pair and a half:

A Sonoran Hunter, a Sonoran Skinner and a Sonoran Belt knife. When ordered as a set I will do each with a sheath and also build a Pack Pac for the two larger knives.

After carrying and using this remarkable pair of Colts for the past few weeks I am quite enamored with them. Their build quality has exceeded all of my expectations and I found them to be completely satisfying and capable cutlery. This was a pleasant surprise and makes them to me, a notable pair.

That makes the 81 look puny, which it sure is not!

It’s definitely a large combination.

Nice original "gum fuddy" and a newer pair of rough black canoes. The main difference I see is in the past Case's jigging pattern was continuous and on most modern patterns it just seems to hit the central section.

Friction folders. One is shiny. One is not.

Fantastic pair of "black stag" (bone) Colts, James! I have several Colt knives and think very highly of them!

Lance, those Case XX gum fuddy models are a treat!
Alan, your newer rough black canoe and humpback stockman are striking examples of a couple of my favorite patterns!

I haven't posted one of my Case chestnut jigged bone CV pairs here for about a month and a half, so here are the first two I ever had, SBJr & SBJ: a Sodbuster Jr (from a BigBiscuit GAW) and a Swayback Jack (thanks, Paul).
