Did Case make a small hawkbill?
Did Case make a small hawkbill?
I saw a Case Tested small version of what the owner called a small hawk. Was such a knife ever made? It has green bone handles and was sharpened down some. Could this be a swayback instead of a small hawkbill?

Thanks for the information. I will see the person that had it this weekend, hopefully I can pick this up.

And make sure you post some pictures if you do!
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

I got the small hawkbill on Saturday morning. I will post pictures as soon as I can. The blade has been sharpened quite a bit but the green bone is beautiful. Not near mint but so rare that I had to have it. This is a flea market find. You never know where you will find something odd or rare.
