One of my favourite and most used knives.

I use it for gardening and trimming house plants as the one so reflected. My Case Hawkbill. I really like the scales.

Thanks fellas. I thought the copperhead had one blade on each end though like the one on top right and bottom left.

I thought Copperhead referred to the head end bolster being curled up some to make it more pocket friendly? Just my first thought.

Ahh. I thought the copperhead was just a bigger mini copperhead (one on each end)

The name does refer to the shape of the bolster and both knives have a bolster with that shape. Front bolster on the Copperhead and rear bolster on the Mini Copperhead. If I'm not mistaken, the bolsters are said to be shaped like the head of a Copperhead snake.

This explains why these two very different knives have basically the same name.

I like Saddlehorns, Trappers, Large Folding Hunters, and the occasional Backpocket.
I carried a Victorinox Tinker for many years because of the flat blade screwdriver that was used daily at work. I now carry a Caplifter.

Here is one that is bit different that I just obtained last week. It is Case Saddlehorn, with tree ring scales.

Sorry for the picture quality.

The coloration of the bone on your Swayback Jack is superb! Is that original, or did you dye it at all? What factory color is that...redbone?

jlhoffman74 · Mar 26, 2017

Thanks Ratbert, its just the "Chestnut Bone" that Case did, I didn't dye it. I have been wanting one for awhile after seeing the pics here on BF, and finally got lucky on the bay.
If Case did more coloring like these, my wallet would be in trouble.
Also the Case vintage 70's coloring is awesome.

Ratbert · Mar 26, 2017

Jeff, thanks for the info...it is indeed a beauty! I assumed it was dyed because the color is so deep. I read somewhere they use a different dye now and so many of the new ones tend to "fade" at the ends. I agree that from the pictures I've seen of the 70s era Cases, the bone is awesome!
