Swayback Jacks

[MegaHelmet]

On lunch break today, I went down to the sportings good store and lo and behold, they had the fancy 2 blade Case Swayback Jack in green bone! I got to handle it and now I feel I must own one of these!

But...I like choices! Any other companines make this pattern? If so, any in interesting steels/handles?

I believe there is some law somewhere that says, if you like the swayback jack pattern, you have to purchase a Case with chestnut bone handles and CV steel.

OooOOoo! I do like the cv! Although, the green handles on the ss were purtier! I'm in no big hurry, maybe I can snag a used one if I'm patient.

Go with the case CV. Best choice you have in my opinion.

Uh huh. Be sure not to go to jail. Actually SS or CV will be fine, but I am very happy with my CV version. More so than with any regular production knife I have picked up in the last decade or so, but I am a little prejudiced toward it. Your mileage may vary.

To help "Sway" your decision.

Does that mean I have to turn in my Erickson and Ruple swaybacks to avoid prosecution?

Yep. You can go ahead and send them to me and I'll make sure all of the necessary paperwork is completed.

I don't think you can go wrong with any of the Case swaybacks. The two I have, one ss and stag, the other chestnut bone with CV are really nice for production knives.

Okay I'm a girl so my choice might be bias. I personally LOVE the bubble gum SwayBack Jack that Sheperd Hills Cutlery has for sale.

I dug out my old all-in-one printer (that has a flatbed scanner on top) and to my surprise, it seems to scan pretty good. Of course my Swayback was one of the first ones I tried.
Gotta love the Chestnut Bone and CV combo...
