A "swell" pairing

Great pair with these two.

My phone camera really forces perspective. These two are the same length, but the one in front looks noticeably bigger.

If Ebony was my choice to EDC on any given day I usually pair by use, shop, dress or other and not by color.
I rarely carry 2 traditional at the same time it would be paired with a locking folder or fixed blade.
Here's a few random pics showing a couple HJs and CK warhorse, I know some don't consider the CK traditional but this is one heck of a knife.

Just stumbled on this thread and I'm genuinely curious... What is the function of carrying a modern and a traditional at the same time? All these photos look amazing don't get me wrong, I just can't really think of a reason to carry both at the same time.

Well, for some of us... we are just Knife Knuts and like to carry our knives.
For me, I think a fixed blade and a traditional folder is the perfect combination... but I'm not allowed to pocket carry a fixed blade.
So, when I'm doing yard work or heading to the outdoors, I'll carry a good locking modern knife as a replacement for a fixed blade.

There are folks out there who will freak out at the sight of some modern folding knives especially autos but don’t look twice at a traditional slip joint knife. That, and for me there are times when having a knife that I can open and close with just one hand is convenient.
