Vintage & Retro Pairing (Traditionals only please)

[JoKr]

couldnt find a proper thread for the pairing of Vintage & Retro Traditional Knives.

Camillus Teardrop (Vintage) and GEC Bullet End Jacks (Retro)

 

[Jack Black]

One of my Bagpipe Ebony Lambsfoot SFOs, and a Wheatley Brothers Ivory Jack.

 

[SteveC]

Great idea for a thread !

 

[Augie]

Few of the comparison pictures I've done over the years.

 

[black mamba]

A 1960s Schrade Walden whittler against a 2021 Northfield whittler.

Tidioute and A.W. Wadsworth.

 

[SteveC]

Missouri Trader and a Camillus Sword Brand Jack

 

[black mamba]

A 1940s Keen Kutter junior cattle knife against a 1980s German made Shapleigh.

A 1920s Robeson regular jack against a 2014 Northfield #78.

A 1940s Craftsman (Western L36) large hunter against a 1980s Camillus #1013.

 

[black mamba]

How about some stockman comparisons?

1950s Schrade Walden and a 2000s Schrade USA, 3⅝"

1950s Robeson and a 2000s Queen, 4"

1960s Craftsman (SW #861) and a 2014 Northfield #82, 4" +

 

[Hickory n steel]

This pair I carried last weeks seems very fitting.

They haven't changed much in the last 30+ years...

Really cool

 

[Jack Black]

These comparison pics are great, I was just digging out old photos!

Here's some old Sheffield Barlows with one of Charlie's Ancients. All gifts from the great man himself

 

[Hickory n steel]

They haven't changed much in the last 30+ years...

Those are both beautiful examples, the 032 is a staple of Case knives in my opinion.

 

[Un-Chained]

Case xx half-witt and a ‘94 Queen full-witt that usually ride together…

 

[JohnDF]

Those are both beautiful examples, the 032 is a staple of Case knives in my opinion.

It's pretty neat to be able to see the subtle changes they've made over the years... and not always for the better.

 

[Headwinds]

Some not so subtle changes - 1976 and 2005 Case mini copperheads:

 

[JohnDF]

One more to add...
A Pal and a Case, both Cattle Knives, separated by quite a few years.... Yes, I love Case knives.

 

[afishhunter]

One of my favorite vintage/retro pairings for carry.
Buck 110 or 7OT lockback, a large stockman, and a Harness Jack or 4 blade Scout/Camp knife or Engineers Knife or Demo Knife.
