Except that these both seem to be the same, late
variant with rosewood handles.  Lotsa blade left
on both, too.

Incidently, I haven't been able to pry the one out of the
elder GIT's hands, so that may be how I avoid having 
a collection of #40 scrubs - one is hers.

She's already reduced a 10x10 inch 4/4 birch board to 2x10, and
a big pile of curlies.
