As far as jigging goes, I would say the Barnboard ranks pretty high up on the list of my favorites and the color of your Mini Copperhead is fantastic, jerryd.

Fun Fact:
My Case Wharncliffe journey has been somewhat of a "Goldilocks" story. Once upon a time I discovered the _2109W Baby Copperhead which whetted my appetite for Wharncliffe blades. Eventually, I found that the size of the Mini Copper was just a tad too small for my taste and I moved on to the _1547WL Copperlock, which I found was a tad too big. Finally, I discovered the 07W Mini Trapper which was just right and I lived happily ever after! (The rest, as they say, is history.) :)

I've had a hankering for a custom K'roo Swayback for quite some time and I finally took the plunge.

This one sports a Warthog Tusk Ivory handle.
