Kane Cutlery Generosity

black mamba · Apr 28, 2011

As you may recall, I was the blessed winner of the Kane Cutlery Swayback Jack giveaway which Jason (bakerg2g) hosted a while back. Well, it has arrived safely, and all I can say is THANK YOU JASON!!

This is truly a beautiful knife and display, but means so much more to me because of Kane being a family name and because of Jason's huge generosity. This has instantly become a family heirloom for me and mine. Enjoy the pictures!

This is a rare (only 250 produced) and beautiful piece, and will always be a cherished memory for me. Thanks again to Jason and BladeForums for fostering such a wonderful spirit of good will and camaraderie.

Great looking knife!
So how does it cut?

black mamba · Apr 28, 2011

It came sharp, but not very. This is not going to be a user for me.

FLymon · Apr 28, 2011

Oh, I didn't know that was an option.

That's a beautiful knife Jeff. Jason is a great guy.

Congrats on a great looking knife from a very generous person.

Stu, I didn't mean I would never use it, just that it would not be one of my regulars. It took some doing just to get it out of the presentation frame, and I'll put it back in so that it's easy to remove in the future. This will be a special occasion knife, which will only add to the good memories it has already provided.

Jeff, I hope you enjoy it... I'm sure it was hard to get out! They
had it in there pretty good... Thanks again to everybody for making
this such a cool spot to enjoy are "SICKNESS"...lol.

That's a looker, Jeff! I like the way the bone color transitions from one end to the other - very cool! Kudos to Jason for such a nice giveaway! :thumbup:

Whew!!! That is one nice looking swayback. It couldn't have gone to a nicer fellow and it couldn't have come from a nicer one either. You two guys have been a big influence on me and a bane to my wallet. Jason, that wasn't an inexpensive give away knife; it is indeed a treasure. Thanks for the give away!!

Congratulations to you Jeff on the win!
