Biggest nail nick on CASE Swing Guard I have ever seen

[zp4ja]

Or for that matter, likely the most cavernous nail nick I have seen on a CASE knife period. Modified? Don't know. Does not look like it. Tried to grab a pic for posterity to post here but I was unable.

I saw that one Jerry. Looks like its been buffed pretty hard. You don't suppose he let the dremel tool run too many rounds in the nail nick do you?

My guess is it came from the factory like that as far as the nick is concerned. Two choices if that huge nick WAS done at the factory...

1. Blade goes in trash
2. Blade installed on knife and sold.

Knowing the little I know of CASE, option 2 all the way.

As a side note, I have only personally seen one fake CASE Swing Guard. From one of our favorite junk peddlers and shameless knows what he is doing rip offs. After all, a self proclaimed past NKCA (or whatever he is stating) President should know knives, right?

I had a 10 dot like that, I think it's factory

Here's the knife. Don't recall ever seeing another nail nick like that one.

Thanks for posting Ken. That sucker is huge for sure. Never seen one that big as I said.

That's the rare Mariana's Trench version of a Case nail nick
