Awesome, I think you'll enjoy it.
There might not be any left by the time James redsparrow decides he needs one.

LOL !
Then I will just have to enjoy mine for him when it arrives

 

[TheFactor]

Thanks Factor! Super easy and made a big difference in my opinion.

Might do the same with mine if need be when it arrives

No pics for a while here!! This 2010 Case Swayback Jack is a smaller knife at 3 3/16", just under 3 1/4"!
It's a Tony Bose design, not a collaboration, TB62117 CV. Case often gave Tony a handful of the TB knives to try out in the field. On this one Tony checked the Rockwell (tester marks on the tang), and scratched the Rc number on the blade with a sharp tool. Then he re-touched the edge, blued the blades to protect the CV, and gave most of the knives away to acquaintances!! Lucky me!!

I suspect that Case QCed these knives very well, because they were going to be in the "Old Dog's" hands, because this one is wonderful; firm and tight, really nice for an inexpensive little knife!!

Those do look like great knives and seem popular. Thanks for your concern John but Factor is right, enjoy what you have my friend, there's always something coming down the pike.

The pike is the great path of happiness
There is always one I must have and this just happened to be one of them

Received this CASE TB71028W SS Green Curly Maple today and had hoped to pocket it, covering Wharnie AND Wooden Wednesday this week, but that is not to be the 'CASE'.
Hopefully this beauty with be enroute back to the mothership tomorrow for repair dangit.

First thing I noticed was how far off center the blade is. While extremely disappointed, I decided to just bear it since the blade doesn't strike the liner.

BUT THEN ... I found the pile side Curly Maple cover so lifted from the liner at the tang bolster, I could see daylight !!! DAYLIGHT !!!
Never mind the space between the backspring and liner. I've come to expect that with production knives.
But the dang space between the Curly Maple and liner is EVEN WIDER !!!

This piece looks like it was made in Sheffield, not Bradford LOL. Tony Bose must be turning over ...

 

[JohnDF]

Oh ya... I'd send that one back.

 

[mitch4ging]

Oldie but goodie.

 

[BrotherJim]

Oh ya... I'd send that one back.

Forgot to mention how dull this knife is too. I have to resharpen MOST production knives before use, so didn't give it much thought
But this knife is just about the dullest production knife I've EVER seen out of the box. Like it's a tourist souvenir knife that won't take an edge anyway or something

Oldie but goodie.

Interesting handles!! Nice!!

I don’t think I’ve ever seen one like that. That is disappointing. Hard to imagine how that would have gotten past anyone.

 

[mitch4ging]

Sorry...bad thumbs!

Have to wonder if this was a 'second' or indicative of CASE efforts these days or maybe just some issues with this newest pattern (i think) of theirs.
I LOVE my case knives but I can't keep buying them to send back and sometimes it's a crap shoot. This will be the third (that I remember) CASE I've ever had to send back.
The two others were Peanuts

Interesting handles!! Nice!!

Thanks for the kind words, Charlie!
Love the covers, probably as close as I'll ever get to mastodon!

My favorite wood used by Case, Red Box Elder.
