Pics of Pairs--Large and Small Versions of the Same Model

I've had several LG & SM variations of the same model over the years. I almost always move the large and keep the small. Only a scant few have remained as a pair. I've found the 3.0-3.3" blade length to be in my sweet spot. So I'm generally not inclined to carry the larger version if the small is in that range. Though now there are some popular mid-size models also getting a smaller version in the sub 3" blade range. Those I would favor the original, like the Bugout and the 940 vs. 945, though I don't own either of those right now. I sure did wish they had a mini-Contego 810 from Benchmade when it was in production. Loved that knife, but it was just too big for me. I tried the Rift, and it wasn't the same.

Pairs I've moved on:
Griptillian - kept the small, moved the LG
Barrage - kept the small, moved the LG (2 of them)
Delica - moved them both

Pairs I've kept together: This might be a repost pic on this thread.

Just went thru my ZT & Spyderco collections & came up with some interesting large/small pairs & trios that you can pair up anyway that you like.

Took pics of them but there are a lot of them & it's going to take me longer than I thought to process them all together. So, I'm going to post a few at a time.

So, here are pics of the Hinderer designed ZT 0566, 0562 & 0560:

The Kershaw 7007 is included because it almost an exact copy of the ZT 0777 but it & the ZT 0770 are both smaller versions of the ZT 0777
