Re: No wood scaled swingers'
Come to think about it, all of my swingers are horn. But yes, I wouldn't mind adding a wood scaled swinguard to my collection also! Snakewood always looks good on those Chinese copies. I don't collect Chinese though. Well, actually, I DO have one of those Chinese "Big Boy" models in black that I use as a letter opener, but it's a swivel bolster...and I'm not sure it's real wood either. I would love to find a nice Olive Wood swinger, the lighter the better. This is what I love about the hobby, the search! If anybody wants to sell an authentic Italian swinguard in a light colored wood, then by all means PM me.
Good luck with the search LeighDog!
Peace.

You are bidding on an Italian-Style Swing-Guard Lockback Stiletto Pocket Knife. FEATURES INCLUDE: Polished Fine-Edge Stainless-Steel Bayonet Blade & Folding Swing-type Folding Guards, and a Handle with Genuine Snakewood Scales, Stainless Bolsters & Liners, Brass Pins, a Round Release Button with classic Leaf-type Kick-Spring, Lockback Spring Release and a Sliding Safety Switch. SPECS INCLUDE: Overall Length is 9" with a 4" Blade and weighs 4 ounces. The blade has "ITALY" laser-etched on the tang. This Knife is new, never used or carried and appears to be in EXCELLENT, NEAR-MINT CONDITION overall. The blade is full with original factory edge, and has a fast snap with solid lock-up and closes into the handle without peaking. The handle's genuine Snakewood Scales are chip & crack free, and the backspring is straight with no liner gaps; and, the safety switch works as it should. Also includes a black "factory" Box (not shown). Although the blade reads Italy on the tang, this knife is Asian-made; however the over quality is super especially when compared with entry-level Italians. Also please note that the photos are "stock" so the scales' pattern may vary slightly. Please ask questions before bidding or buying, selling AS-IS. Must be at least 18 years of age to purchase. No foreign sales/shipping. Thank you once again for your interest in my item, and good luck!!
