really like that swayback! Whats the blade length on that guy as im finding conflicting info online. Thinking of snagging one for myself
Thanks brother! I noticed the same. I'm note sure where the Case website gets 2.8". A quick measurement by me yields an entire blade length (from the top measured where spring meets blade) of 2.5, from the tang to the tip (Giggity) it is 2 1/8, and if you take away the little choil you're left with a cutting edge right at 2". I'll post a pic below with a comparison to the Case Barlow. I also picked up the Sway Back in Cabernet which was a gamble because I wasn't sure about it from online pics, but in person I was pleased. The blue one is a discontinued color, but it can still be tracked down. Mine arrived with tarnished bolsters, but they polished up easily. After holding these, I'd really like to grab one of the older two-bladed versions, as I think that this pattern can benefit from the added thickness.
