So I've come to the realization that I really enjoy pocketable knives that have swedges and long pulls. I also enjoy having a wharncliffe/sheepsfoot blade and half stops, but they are not absolutely necessary. Does anyone have any specific recommendations to look into?

I am currently on the look out for a Case Butterbean but am not entirely enthralled with any of the current offerings, hopefully some other combination/colorations are released.
I am also not a complete snob when it comes to my knives, I enjoy good quality overseas knives. For example, I own a Colt Dogleg Jack / Peanut knife and think it's tremendous, albeit a little chunky.

If you happen to have pictures of your own personal knives that fit the bill, post 'em up :)
 
Swedges and Long pulls are very common on Great Eastern Cutlery knives.

Here's a few

Knife porn at its finest gentleman, thank you.

GEC are bit on the pricier side for me but certainly something to lust over and aim for over the long haul. They look to be on the chunkier side, is that so? I wear dress pants for work so fat handles aren't so great for me (although I do love how they fill the hand).

You should check out the Baby Butter bean by Case. Fits all your requirements. Priced right in bone handles, swedges with long pulls, and disappears in the pocket.

It was "in the vault" until this year so the offerings aren't as extensive as most Case knives. But there are already several new options in stainless available new, and they can be found used in CV steel on the big auction site. I recently bought one there in yellow delrin handles and CV steel for around $40 shipped.

Here is my most recent purchase. Antique saw cut bone.
