Case Knives

Overview of the new (09) models : Black G10 Peanut and Chestnut Bone Swayback Jack. The fit and finish on these two knives is fantastic. There are many more patterns to try out and now I'm thinking that maybe the 3.5 in range might be nice too. A barlow? a Canoe? A trapper? Who knows. I have to say tho, that currently the peanut finds its way into my pocket more :)

Just ordered a Bermuda Green Swayback Jack, Havest Orange Peanut and a black G10 Medium Stockman. Can't wait to get them.

@jntroisi -sounds like a nice haul. That harvest orange has always caught my eye.

How are the half stops on your case knives? Most all the new ones are junk, paying for a name.

[Severator]

@Malk284 - hello Malk, I've not sampled too many. Of the 2 I have the swayback is actually a little soft in the half stops whereas the peanut is pretty crisp. From my limited hanlding/ reading, the qc on case can be a tad spotty.

Big fan of Case. I think too many of us have gotten sucked into the 'tactical' world of knives, which is neat, but which doesn't really apply to our daily lives. Case knives look and feel great, but they're also built to do the jobs we expect of them in normal life. Only multitools offer similar fit to lifestyle, in my opinion.

@purzheen - good point. Hanging out in the traditional forums, I always see a new user from the tactical genre either coming back or newly discovering the traditional slippie world.

I got my sway back a last week, love mine

My last purchase was a swayback gentleman's knife.......of course Tony Bose designed it, along with the sowbelly (which is fugly, in my opinion). It has prime stag, with the blade etching confirming so. like the humpbacks, it is a little thicker stag in the middle of the handle. If you hold it sideways, you'd see how it's quite a bit thicker. $89, tried to Jew him down.....but after getting online looking at the list price, I reckon I got a decent deal.

Gorgeous knives. The main blade on that swayback jack looks like it would be good for whittling.
