Not really new to traditionals...

[Christian]

but getting more interested. I have been carrying a Kabar stockman for a couple of years now along with some sort of one hand opening main blade. However, 2 weeks ago I received a mostly mint white bone Case large Copperlock which seems to have ignited a traditional fire in me. I just ordered a CASE XX KNIVES ORANGE BLAZE BONE SWAY BACK GENT #55913 from the 'bay because I really like the looks of this knife. Any one else have a similar model?

Yep, I'm sure you'll like it as it is a close cousin to the sway back jack (2 blade version). The SB jack is close to a pre-requisite here. At least a lot of folks have them as well as the Gent model you are talking about. It is a very popular model for Case as well as evidenced by the model variations available. Take a look in the "What traditional did you tote today..." thread and you'll get an idea of how many folks have one version or the other. I have the Chestnut bone CV SB jack myself and heartily recommend the pattern to others.

You are going to like the Gent; it will likely lead to other versions.

This post shows a pocket worn deep red SB Gent. The post I'm quoting in my post is one of the first posts I saw with a SB Case in it and I was instantly smitten.
