Swayback Lookout Thread
Re: Swayback Lookout Thread
Is this Swayback C249TIP a limited edition or a sprint run? Do I need to hurry to order it or is it a regular edition which will be available longer?

Regular production. But depending on popularity it will be available in batches like the early spydiechef runs.

Just got charged for my pre-order at KC. Still doesn't show as in stock, but that can't be far off for those looking.

Re: Swayback Lookout Thread
It was in stock earlier at KnivesShipFree, but went out of stock just as I was submitting my order. I'll just wait for the second run. Congratulations to everyone who was able to snag one :)

Re: Swayback Lookout Thread
Still wondering about the generic spoon clip. Did some datamining, one person stated that this reason for change from the original prototype was due to people complaining about the wire clip bending on Marcin Slysz's expensive designs. Thoughts?

Re: Swayback Lookout Thread
Not sure how soon Campsaver will have them back in stock but mine shipped from them a few days ago and will be here tomorrow! Getting 20% off definitely swayed me to pull the trigger.marshmallow wrote: ↑Fri Jun 26, 2020 6:54 pmcampsaver has them on back order, but it should be in stock very soon. you can also add 20% off coupon with email sign up!

For folks out there still looking for a swayback don’t give up. It’s well worth the effort.
I modded mine today and removed the shiny hardware.

Re: Swayback Lookout Thread
As of this post, Blades Canada still has the Swayback in stock!
Re: Swayback Lookout Thread
Just ordered from National Knives, and the price turned out to be lower than listed once I initiated checkout - $159. (edit: I wish!!! Pipedream typo - it was $259). Not as discounted as using the Campsaver coupon, but will arrive sooner I would imagine!

Re: Swayback Lookout Thread
Thanks for the heads up. I had been on the fence but thanks to this thread and your post I snagged one from NK. I have always had great service from them and I like to support them. I am really looking forward to this one now. Liquid Cobra's pics really nailed me. It just looks like a great design and Taichung F&F is almost always spot on.
Do right always. It will give you satisfaction in life.
