Swamp warden and Scrapivore pic please.

The rounded handle is very nice on the Warden, that’s why I modded my Scrapivore.

Very nice! It looks like a completely different knife!
 
I don't have any pics handy, but after realizing how much I loved my SAR Game Warden, I realized how VERY similar the SwampWardens were in all dimensions, minus the bulk of scales , being skeletonized.
You may want to be aware that there were at least 2 releases, '07 and '11 IIRC. And the older one's are ALMOST 1/2 again as thick as the later one's, based on the 2 '11 models and 1 from '07, I have to look at.
Unless I got a Fat version unknowingly, or 2 anorexics, the earlier one, in the Bama Clay coating, is just as thick as my INFI GameWarden, actually.

Hehehe!!
I don't know that they had those options for the Swamp Wardens, someone else may have some insight on that. I'm just saying I have two that are a decent bit thinner than the other one that I acquired most recently, which I'm pretty sure was an earlier release, at the same width as my standard width Game Warden.. if they were all with me if throw calipers on them.
And as already mentioned, it's a great one to piggyback on a bigger sheath. One of mine is riding on a Ratmandu, and it's nice to have a lil' backup!
I did wrap my handles on 2 of them about 3/4's up from the rear in 95#, single inner strand paracord, gives positive grip, and I have a bit of extra cordage, enough for one snare at least.
I have been thinking of fashioning some removable scales, possibly with a very small amt of fishing gear and maybe a small ferrorod in the void. Still thinking on that...

While there weren't officially fat and anorexic versions of the Swamp Wardens, there WERE fatter and thinner versions over the years, FYI. ;) When B. Piatt was making those handle scales, we came to fully realize how much variation there was in the the SW's. Didn't make it easy for him! The earliest run was fatter at ~0.187" thick, while some of the later runs were thinner at ~0.140" thick. Seems the most recent runs are back to the thicker stock. I've had probably close to 20 SW's pass through my hands over the years (think I have 11 right now), and those are the only two different thicknesses I've seen. Of course, they can vary slightly, maybe +/- 0.01" from the standard 0.140" and 0.187" stock. Coatings will also vary a bit.
 
The name of the 4th one escapes me at the moment (I'll update when I remember), but the bottom one is a Scotch Dispenser.

ETA - The 4th one is an Assault Shaker.
