Swayback Shadow

[Johnny Roberts]

This Swayback Shadow Pattern has ATS-34 blade (RC 59) and spring (RC 49) with stainless steel liners and pins.

The Barbwire Micarta has a nice basket weave pattern and all the steel has a smooth satin finish. The pull is a nice solid 6 out of 10 and the spring is flush at all 3 stops.

It is 3 ½ inches closed and 6 1/16 with the Wharncliffe blade open. Liners are milled and relieved to keep the tang free of scratches.

I made a custom two tone pocket sheath with a basket weave pattern to keep this one nice.

There are a few more pics on my website.
Thanks for looking.

Johnny it looks good. That sheath is a nice match for that barbwire mircarta. Nice job on the shield too.

Thanks, guys. I am thinking the next one will be a swayback as well but with some bolsters and some the green g10.

I have been carrying this one everyday and like the straight edge of the wharncliffe blade more than I thought I would.

Ask for Alex and tell him Johnny sent you to him, please.

If you have trouble Bruce, let me know. I'd be glad to pick some up next time I am in there and ship it half way around the world.
