How to find a Case Mini-Copperhead CV?? Steel VS Handle

[GLDNDomer]

So I'm going to get one or the other: a Case Mini-Copperhead or a Case Swayback Jack. I really like the look, size, shape, and weight of the Mini-Copperhead, but I also REALLY want a Case with a carbon blade. If there is a way to find a Mini-copperhead with a CV blade, then there is no competition. So will my dreams come true?? Have these ever been produced and/or are they horribly hard to find?

Thanks for the help. If you want to, go ahead and weigh in on my situation. Do yall think it is better to have the steel you really want or the handle you really want?? Is there that much of a difference between CV and Tru-Sharp to even warrant this discussion?

I can't speak to the existence or non-existence of a CV mini Copperhead.

As for the steel versus handle question, I think the handle and blade configuration that you prefer would trump the steel in this case. You say you want a CV blade Case but is there going to be anything that you couldn't accomplish in terms of cutting if you had SS instead? I don't think so, particularly on knives the size of the ones you're looking at. Both features are important considerations but if you have a knife with a steel you prefer in a handle that you don't like how much are you going to want to reach for it and use it? A knife with a steel that gets the job done, though it may not be your favorite, in a handle that fits you well and you can use comfortably will see a lot more run in my opinion.

They have made in the past the mini copperhead pattern in CV, but not with the wharncliffe blade. They are not real plentiful in the wild anymore, but I have seen one recently.
