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?

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.

Ka-Bar had a Cheetah sized swinguard as well.
