Traditional and Modern pairings

Okay, 3 knives but one is a double except AUS-8 and D2

Don't know if we can still call a 1981 collaboration between Pete Gerber and Blackie Collins
that gave us the revolutionary light, smooth, tough (LST) 400, modern
... but it isn't a traditional knife

Sure it is. Black composite handle material has been around in one form or another for decades as well as the lockback feature and the drop point blade is classic.

If it were a survey ... I'd check, SOMEWHAT agree LOL. Because yeah, if looking at it side-eyed in shadow and all one sees is an outline, it MAY look like it COULD be a traditional pattern. And of course man made materials in one form or another have indeed been used in traditionals since about when chemists started playing around with petroleum. But 51-92% of traditional folks would say it isn't tradtional ... I'm scientific like that HA. When asked who makes it? ... Pete Gerber ... we might get, "NOPE" without a second thought

EDIT: it served me well in my 20yr Naval career and is a favorite of mine, shipmate retired FCC(SW)

Something you don't see many of is a modern Lambsfoot, shown here with my Guardians' from A. Wright.

By this forum's rules, lockbacks are OK as is modern materials.

The Bling Brothers. The camera does not really capture how good these look. The Spyderco, in particular, is incredible in bright sunlight.

Sometimes, less is more... sometimes you need a little more... sometimes you have to go big or go home...
