oh, my..... that is special....
 
Case really does the swayback right. All the ones I have are just excellent. I got one used, that was sold to me with the caveat that there was some blade wobble on the main blade, and there was/is. It's not enough to kick it to the curb, but it's noticeable. I don't know if it came from the factory that way, or if something "happened" to it.... but that's the only swayback I've seen that is less than borderline perfect.
Here's three of mine... red, blue, green.... all are SS jacks... I also have two CV jacks, and a CV gent.......
I like the Case version of the swayback.. :cool:

Nice spread brother !!
I only have 2 but I agree this is a great run with wonderful fit and finish.
 
Case Moose in smooth rustic red, love this pattern, roll of the dice on the richlite, you be the judge...

I think its an interesting material and looks good. A few years ago, Buck used a material called paperstone. I have the impression that the concepts are similar. I wouldn't mind having a Case with Richlite.

I don't know enough about the material to understand how the color patterns are derived. I'd like to see this same material in a more rough version. Smooth bone has a good feel to it, this material in smooth just doesn't feel right for some reason.
 
Looks good, it’s on my wish list! 👍 Any blade play? I’ve been pleasantly surprised with the last three Case knives I bought. Long blades and no considerable blade play. 🤞
Thanks !
Same here very tight but with great action and very snappy 👍🏻 Love the yellow to and in person looks more like bone and not so yellow like in the pictures.
Edit: Also bigfish64 bigfish64 thank you for inspiring me to get one with your beautiful red one !

From Richlite's website:

"Richlite’s surface texture comes from the natural variation in the way fibers lay within the paper. Composed of approximately 65% FSC®-certified or recycled paper content and 35% phenolic resin, Richlite’s color comes from a combination of the paper and the amber tone of the resin."

I think your knife looks pretty cool. If I get down to the Lake (non-forum sponsoring knife store there) I'll have to take a look at it in person.

That is exactly what I’m going to do! 😄Headed there with the new boat in late July.
 
It quit sprinkling for the moment so I took a couple of quick pics. My most recent Case. Its my first red delrin Case. First Case single blade copperhead and first
knife of any kind with a stone washed blade. First Case with this shield too :)
I like the feel of the knife. Good walk and talk. No play worth mentioning. A little bit of a gap on one side. As has become common with Case, the blade is not centered. Its not hitting the liner, but its right there. As a user, it really doesn't matter. I like the knife :thumbsup:

This entire acid wash blade Copperhead series looks great in any covers.:thumbsup: Might have to get that lime green or violet.

edit: stone wash? Whatever wash, it looks great.

The vendor called it stonewash in the description. Maybe they used acidic stones ;)

Yes it’s CV blade steel in stone washed is what they call it but to me looks more of black acid/ stone wash. Regardless I really like it and agree I think it would go well with any of the options👍🏻
