Thank you for the kind words.

This is a pair of five inch Little Bears. They were identical twins before being scrimshawed. One was done by Sandra Brady and the other by Jean Curtis. The Curtis scrimmed knife is signed with her last name and dated '83. I know Sandra Brady personally and asked her about the one she did and she said it was also done in the 1980's. I found the Brady knife (without sheath) at a meeting of the Ohio Gun Collector's Association last year and "Tunefink" recently tipped me to the Curtis knife which was up for sale on-line. The Curtis knife came with a Johnson rough back tight stitched sheath that was marked for a #3-5 knife and "12/" was inked in between the 3 and the 5. So, I need to find a similar #3-5 sheath for my Brady scrimmed knife.

Great pair of little bears, Buckspen!
The shorter blades give the knife a different look, more like the Captain's Specials.
Thanks for sharing.

i'm green with envy...
a great pair indeed!
best,

Great looking pair, I've always liked the LBBs. Have one in stag, myself.

.... well here's my matching pair, a couple of Stanaback Special's...with 'slab side's'.

I might be bending the rules of "matching pair" since these are neither the same model or wood, but they do compliment each other and I display them together. Thanks to forum member tnburton for my new 25 maple burl shown here with my 26 ironwood.

I see a pretty pair!
Not exactly twins but you have to look closely for the differences and most important: They're very pretty

Number 1 Pretty Pair.....

1 7 CS Desert Ironwood, Double Brass hilt and Brass cap.

1 7 SS Crown Stag with finger grips. NS double hilt.

All these matching pairs are magnificent. But the one I like most is the couple of Stanaback Special's with 'slab side's', spectacular! congratulations Rex!
