About the Swick4:
The original Swick™ was developed for fast deployment, lightweight carry, and an exceptionally secure ergonomic grip. The result of Spyderco’s relentless Constant Quality Improvement (C.Q.I.) process, the Swick 4 is a highly refined expression of the original concept that offers even greater versatility and strength. Like its predecessors, the Swick 4 was designed by Sal Glesser and features a large index-finger hole—a feature pioneered by custom knifemaker Fred Perrin. Placing your index finger through the hole locks the knife securely into your grip and greatly reduces the possibility of it being dropped or dislodged during use. It also allows you to keep the knife in your hand while freeing your fingers to perform other tasks. The Swick 4’s enhanced finger-hole design is larger and is complemented by jimping (textured grooves) on the thumb ramp to further enhance grip control during use.

The Swick 4 is precision machined from a solid piece of high-performance CPM® S30V® powdered metallurgy stainless steel. It features a full-flat-ground leaf-shaped blade for superior edge geometry and a skeletonized tang to minimize weight without sacrificing strength. The ergonomic handle is slim and perfectly functional in its bare state, but also features pin holes for easy attachment of handle scales or paracord wrap.

Every Swick 4 comes complete with a custom-molded Boltaron™ sheath and a G-Clip attachment. The versatile G-Clip is angle adjustable and can be mounted to either side of the sheath, providing a full range of belt or inside-the-waistband carry options.

The Swick 3 was available for a lot longer than I expected. I think the 4 with the leaf shape blade will fly off the shelves. Get me while you can!

Wondering if this thread is being missed because of the color of the sticky or something. The lack or responses is weird.

People are too busy clicking refresh on their S90V Yo2 tracking info.

Think a leaf shape would be kinda neat to have, not sure I have a huge amount of use for this design, though. I'll step aside and let the hordes feast.

I was wondering the same thing! But I saw it right away, so I wonder what it could be... But that just means more knives for me ;) I really can't miss out on this one.

I'm curious if the scales from my Swick 3 will fit. I'd love a pic Kristi!

I am not positive but I believe so. I hope so. I'll have to look for the thread but it was mentioned at one point.

If I lived close enough to the SFO to stop by at lunch, I'd be permanently broke! (but happy with lots of knives LOL) :D

I do believe I'll pick up a couple of them - especially since they come *with* sheath! It will be interesting to see if my Swick 3 will fit the same sheath.
Which Knife, A or B? get Both! (and C, D and E) :)

I doubt the sheath will fit the Swick3. Same handle but very different blade shapes.

HT scales should fit, but the sheath won't. You can get a sheath from the same company for your Swick 3 (Sheathpro).

Gail and I have pair with HT carbon scales. Pretty nice. Taz is out of the office working shows. I'll see if I can get someone to shoot mine and post a pic.

I'm definitely in for 1 (more likely 2) of these.

The leaf blade will make it a nice EDC knife for me.
