They are listed on the Case website and don't appear to be a special run for a dealer.

Yes, if you go to the chestnut bone page on the Case website they show a picture of the swayback jack at the top, but if you look at the available patterns they definitely list the swayback gent. That's a great pattern (I have one in burnt amber bone SS) so might be a good alternative for anyone who's missed out on the jack version.
Originally I didn't think I "needed" the jack since I have the gent, but the CV steel takes an incredible edge and I'm glad I bought it.

Amazing!Arrived yesterday, on the job today
Jackpot is right! I know we on the porch are but a small fraction of Case customers, but I'll never understand why The Swayback Jack and the Barlow are not regularly produced in cv.My Case swayback gent (top) that I've had for a while just got a big brother -- a Case swayback jack (bottom). (It's just a trick of the light that the SBJ blade looks dark -- it's reflecting my sweatshirt -- plus it's got a thin coating of mineral oil on it.)
I found this one yesterday at a nearby hardware store. (They have a small and mostly empty Case display, but it had a couple of treasures in it!) I was initially attracted by a very pretty muskrat, then I noticed a stag peanut, then finally I saw this one: a 2009 chestnut bone CV swayback jack (TB62117). I think I hit the jackpot on this one.

My Mora Eldris arrived on Wednesday.
You know how sometimes you buy a new knife, and it's a nice knife, but it just somehow does not speak to you once it's in your hand?
This one wasn't like that.
I bonded immediately with this knife as soon as I opened the box and it's been in my jeans pocket every night since. It's in my pocket today. Surprisingly pocket friendly, likely due to it's light weight (2.8 oz). 12C27 blade steel. Scandi grind. Came pretty sharp out of the box. I've seen lots of YouTube reviews on how well it works as an outdoor knife. So far, it works pretty good for city type chores, too.
I've read a lot about how hand-friendly the handle is and how much control it gives (both true BTW), but haven't seen a lot of pictures illustrating that. So I thought a pic illustrating that might be nice. It'll make up for my poor photographic technique. IMO, the value/price ratio on this knife is astronomically huge. (It's a Mora. Of course the ratio is huge.)

Nice! If they offered that with a birch wood or stacked leather handle, I wouldn't be able to resist!My Mora Eldris arrived on Wednesday.

Around the end of the year I had gifted
Will Power
a couple of knives. Will warned me that he was planning to reciprocate. A couple of weeks ago he emailed me that I was to expect a package. He and I were both getting concerned but the package finally arrived this week.
First up we have a beautiful Le Theirs folder. This is a large folder with beautiful black Ebony handles. The fit and finish are excellent. The first time I have ever had one of these in hand, I am impressed. Will explained that it was excellent for food prep in the kitchen or on picnics and such. The second knife is a gently used Schatt & Morgan #99 Harness Jack. It is Green Jig Bone and 1095. This knife is extremely well made and the fit and finish is excellent.
Will I can not thank you enough for this my good friend!

Well my Case Bose Lannys Clip has arrived fresh out of the mail after jumping threw some hoops to get it since it was signature receipt requested by the dealer which now that I have it in my hands was understandable . But it had arrived Thursday and all I saw when opening my mail box was a receipt from the postman saying my sig was required .
Anyway I am impressed beyond words and I must say this is my favorite traditional to date . This one is a perfect example , the Dark Molasses jigged bone is gorgeous in every way .Fit and finish is remarkable and rivals any knife I’ve ever owned and that says a lot . Ok I can probably write pages upon pages but let’s get to a few pictures to say the rest
Edit : Have no idea why the bottom picture looks darker . But the Damascus looks the same in person . Took the picture with the same settings to .im thinking it was just the angle of the camera .

Congrats on that knife! Spectacular across the board. My Case/Bose Lannys might be my all around favorite as well. The fit and finish is nicer then the full customs I own when you really examine the details.Well my Case Bose Lannys Clip has arrived fresh out of the mail after jumping threw some hoops to get it since it was signature receipt requested by the dealer which now that I have it in my hands was understandable .

Some weeks ago
Jolipapa
sent me a very nice package for the New Year which included this ingenious 5 Franc French Empire coin as a multi-tool- blade, scissors,nail-file. It is my newest arrival because as soon as it arrived I had to hide it from the cat when I went to see her (who loves shiny stuff to play floor-ball with
) and later at my town place water pipe renovations turned the place into a wreck. Could I find it? Nowhere, appalled I feared it had gone out with some rubbish. Uh uh, inside a clock

Don't mistake it, that was Napoléon "le petit" as Victor Hugo called him from his exile in Jersey... The following year (1870), Bismarck would give him (Badinguet as he was called) a lesson... and back to République!
The set was made by Eloi-Pernet, Nogent in the 20's.
