Of the two knives you originally mentioned I'd say it's a tossup. The SwayBack jack is bit more substantial and provides a bit more to hold on to as well as the option of CV blades. The Mini Copperhead is IMO a nifty little pattern andI've enjoyed mine a great deal. However I see it as a sort of "Sunday knife" or minimalist knife for those days when I don't need to terribly much of a knife.
