I don't currently own any production swaybacks, this was the last one that I owned. I really liked the scales they reminded me of my childhood dinner table :)

These next three are both I guess technically considered swayback gents as they are only one blade but I'll just leave 'em here anyway.

Always the same knife, but in different situations.

Kind regards

I gues i shouldn't have said Swayback jacks, because any member of the swayback family is welcome. I love the pattern with any number of blades..... within reason.

I really need to get some updated pics...I would get some now, but it was just snowing over in my neck of the woods.
 
Some really beautiful knives in this thread already, You just have to appreciate the sleek lines of a Swayback
 
It was you guys with your gorgeous Sway Back Jack pictures that set me on the hunt for a Case. I prefer single blade knives so I went for the Gent, in honey brown bone.

The chestnut bone was too pretty to avoid, and I didn't have a Peanut, so that was my next purchase.

I may yet be drawn in by the allure of an SBJ. Deep canyon chestnut? Pocket worn red bone? Or maybe another chestnut bone since that's the one that first caught my eye.
