What would your dream matched knife combo be?

I know that there was just a thread on "which three knives". I hope this doesn't seem like a repeat. But, if you were to have a custom knife set made, what blade sizes would you get? I'm thinking about a matched pair of custom knives. I think I'm leaning towards a 2-3" blade and a 5-7" blade. These will likely be light users, I have several heavy use knives that serve their purpose well. But if you were to have two matching fixed blade knives, what would they look like?
 
I'm perfectly content with my Fox River and a Machete. If you consider a machete to be a large knife. Mine actually do match thanks to Scott Gossman's handywork. Well, kind of.

Well, I have my first FBM on the way...so maybe I will be posting like the guys before me soon. But I think that I have to stay with my Aurora and my Fehrman...foth tough and do thier job. Gene
 
Puuko of some sort and a machete. Thought about the matched set, but one would still be a puuko or similiar, and a would still carry a machete. That means that one knife, while possibly handy, would be basically redundant.
 
I would love a nice custom made Leuko and Puukko combo. I could just order one from Ragnar, but I would love to have a custom set made to my exact needs and wants.
 
I know neither one is custom and they sure as $H!7 dont match, but i'd go with my Sog Multi Tool and my RD 9 in D2.
Now if i were to have a custom set made, i would have a small Skinner/bird and trout type knife made of D2 and a Larger Bowie/Chopper made of 1095. Maybe Polished black linen Micarta and nickle silver guards/bolsters. And a Brown leather sheath that holds both. for belt carry.

Not quite paired yet. I'd like to have the BM's scales replaced with liners, buckeye scales and mosaic pins to match the Mick Spain bushcraft knife. Just trying to decide whether to take the black coating off first and polish it to a mirrror finish...
 
Matched combo? I would LOVE a Koster Hatchet to match my soon to be owned Koster Nessie
 
I had an Armaggedon with piggyback knife from Trace Rinaldi that was pretty sweet, but kind of heavy. My dream set would be a To The Woods from Brian Goode, with a NWA ride along. That would be perfection!
 
I don't know if it's my dream combo, but I have been eying this combo from Ragnar @ Ragweed Forge for some time, and will buy it after Christmas.

I'll stick with these they've gotten me this far.

If I had to pick 2 of anything I would roll with something modified from Ranger and a Double Bit Axe.
 
If I could have only 2????

If your speaking Siegles-as I am the unofficial Siegle expert(at least in Texas)

It would be the second from the top on the left side-and the second from the bottom right side(one with brass guard)

First decide what you want the knives to be able to do--skin a deer,build a shelter,etc--then tell the maker.He will help you choose a pair that will work for the intended purpose.

Please post photos of what you decide to get Bro
