Picked up a few good slip joints

Some great scores there Don. The swayback is 3 5/8s?

 

[Don Hanson III]

Mike, it's 3-1/4" Little bitty thing.

Which swayback? The Case or the masterpiece from Tony?

Which swayback? The Case or the masterpiece from Tony?

The white handled swayback is 3-1/4". Is Tony the makers name?

And here I was thinking it may have been one by his apprentice, Darth Hampton.

I really like the color in that Case swayback. A deep and rich dark brown. I suspect you had the opportunity to hand pick it then?

 

[Don Hanson III]

Yeap Tex, was a hand pick but to be honest, they all looked good.

Goin to take the small blade out of one of these Swayback jacks for a friend in a day or two.
Will make a nice slim package. If his turns out, I may do it to mine

More than one way to skin a Case...Don and I have discussed for some time why more Case CV blade steel models aren't offered in single blade patterns. Well, after removing the small blade on my new swayback, I think Don may be doing the same with his.

Thanks, Don!

That white one may be fake ivory. Just heat up a needle red hot and see if it melts in.

Nice haul Don.

 

[Don Hanson III]

Bruce, I've been scratching on the ivory like material to see if it's plastic. But it seems to
be the real thing

Joe, it's a one of a kind now. I really like how it came out. I would do mine but my father
liked it so much, I gave it to him. Now I need to get another

Great looking knives Don, I made it to the Case show at Red Hill this past weekend and got to meet that knife maker guy Tony also. I didnt get any handmade ones but did pick up a Limited edition Bermuda Green Swayback with scrolled bolsters. He even signed the box for me. Cant think of his last name though, I guess I will have to look on the box.
