Thanks woodwalker, it's always nice to hear the good words...just decided to downsize my collection by around 300 knives, mostly Schrades and a few GEC's. Anything in particular you might be interested in?

Very very nice dweb!! :) Those will give any veteran the shivers! I am a Navy vet myself and my grandpa Brown was at the Battle of the Bulge. Got a picture of him in uniform. He didn't speak much afterwords. He died when I was 12. Beautiful grouping and thank you for showing them!! :)

Got a couple of little knives in the mail today. One a Sway Back Gent TB61117 in burnt chestnut from 2009, the other a Mini Copperhead 62109w in navy blue. The scratches on the blade are camera reflections.

Nice looking knives. I particularly like Copperheads; I have a Case and find I use it often,in fact daily. Good pattern.

I was bum foozled for a minute there but your swayback is a single blade so they call it a 'Swayback Gent'. Mine have a secondary blade so they call it a 'Swayback Jack'. Gotcha. Well made knives. I like 'em. The Mini-Copperhead is a little small for my taste and yet, I still have a couple of them. Go figure.

I especially liked them as they were wharnies. And you are right Jerry, not very big knives. Thanks for the comments. ::nod::

Doglegg I like that Swayback. I bet it feels good in the hand. I'm hoping to add one to my collection someday.

Doug, it is actually a little small. Don't get me wrong but it feels more like a Sunday knife rather than an everyday knife. If there is a next size bigger, I bet it would feel better, at least in my hand. But I like it and glad I got it. Thanks.

I could be wrong, but I think the swayback jack is a bit larger.

Jerry, in reply to Dave, does the Swayback Jack fill the hand pretty good? The Gent is pretty small. :roll:

The swayback jack is the same size as the gent. The jack is a well sized relatively small knife that doesn't feel too small to be useful, and it just flat looks good.

These two Bulldogs came today: a Geenbone Sowbelly with Cutting Horse engraving. Every thing tight and snappy. The rear blade is a bit too tight which led me to getting bit. Then we have another early dog, a Canoe with MOP and stainless steel blades. A little gem. Much nicer than it's pictures.
