SOLD Bruce Bump MS Swayback Wharncliffe Westinghouse Antique Micarta, $450 G&S, $430 FF
Purchased from Mr. Bump on the forum here in 2012: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/sway-back-wharncliffe-w-westinghouse-ivory.935124/. Comes with the knife and certificate of authenticity. I sharpened it once and carried it for under a month in a CRK slip sheath when I got it, thought I lost it, freaked out, and never carried it again once I found it (it was in my jeans' pocket...). There is some patina on the back spring and a spot on one side of the blade. The action is absolutely perfect I'd say: easy to pluck but smooth to move and strong enough it isn't going to close accidentally. Truly a work of a M.S.
Because of the price, this will be shipped with signature confirmation.

Sole owner. Patina applied and sharpened when I got it, but it never got carried. The patina is stable with no red rust despite being in storage for over a decade now. Both tools are strong. As someone with weak nails, I'd say the blade is as strong as I'd want it, but the opener is definitely harder to open than I'd like (could just need to break in(?)). There is some patina on the non-pivot side end caps I made sure to capture in the pictures and video, so please look at those.

Sharpened once, carried a handful of times when I got it. The big thing is the tip on one side shows where it rubbed the liner when opening. Easy to open and close but not sloppy. There is a little wiggle at the half stop (see video).
