Swayback

[hornetguy]

Thanks all! They look beautiful.
I like the Warnie...
My budget will be the CASE line.

I think you will like the Case, if you don't mind the slightly smaller size.... I certainly like 'em.....

I have a few Lambsfoot swaybacks:

And a couple swaybacks from Viper - forum knife in horn and one in stag:

The Viper swaybacks are very well made knives.

I’ve been wondering, how well is the handle married to the bolsters? Is it a tight fit, or is there a gap

As you can see from the pictures there are no gaps between the scales and the bolsters of the Wright lambsfoot knives and the Vipers. The Wrights have some gaps between the backsprings and the liners, but nothing really bad. The Vipers are clean with no gaps anywhere.

I was going to suggest a few of my favorites, but then I realized I've never owned a sway back that I didn't love. GEC, Case, Viper, Sheffield... Loved them all.

I think you will be very, very pleased with a Case Sway Back. I really like the two-bladed, CV versions in particular.
