I don't have any Swing Guards but I sure like the ones you have there. Wow, those are very nice.

Re: Swing guard knives
wazu013: i have the KaBar too, well made knife but i am not happy with the guard working as a lock.
the Case is nice, maybe the swingguard knives have the nickname "cheetah knife" from that cat?
here is a similar knife but marked STAR

wazu/bigbore:
What is the proper name for those Ka-Bar Swing Guards? Did both of them come in that Union Cutlery Box?

Re: Swing guard knives
Mine came in the same box and COA as bigbore's. I think they could be called Ka-Bar Dog Head Large Swinguard. Here's a link to some info about them.XX Case XX wrote:wazu/bigbore:
