Pulled in the driveway, walked into the garage and gave it roughly 100 swipes at 30 degrees on the medium brown rods, man it’s a razor! Removed the clip from the sheath, it’s so flat and thin it just disappears in my front pocket, very cool little knife!
No idea why I bought this today?

Other than the fact I couldn’t sit it back down! Grabbed it at a gun show in Hickory, NC today. Handed it back to the vendor several times, walked around for probably 20 minutes, headed straight back to her and bought it. Think this’ll be an easily accessible stay in car / console blade…I think?

Re: No idea why I bought this today?
I love the Swick. I carry one fishing a lot. The finger hole keeps me from losing it at the bottom of a lake and it’s pretty easy to tie knots with it in your hand. I also keep one on my work bench as a utility knife.

Re: No idea why I bought this today?
The Swick is a beauty. I bought one for a sailor friend, and I confess, it was a little painful to give it to him. I'd already fallen in love with it. So useful and secure.

Re: No idea why I bought this today?
i've been thinking about giving one to each of my kids as they head off to college, especially my daughters.
when i was in iraq, a female soldier was attacked coming out of the showers. she had a knife on her and stabbed her attacker. that knife saved her and that story made a huge impression on me. i want my daughters to be ready when i'm not there to protect them.
it's funny... up until the time of that attack, i was the only person in my group that carried a knife everywhere and people often laughed about it. the day after that incident, everyone was asking my advice on what kind of knife they should get. the swick (or ark) would've been a great choice.

keep your knife sharp and your focus sharper.

I had the very first release and had custom scales made for it and loved it . I eventually gifted it to someone in law enforcement. Dan

Re: No idea why I bought this today?
Ive kinda been in the marlet for a Swick. I need to pull the trigger.
Re: No idea why I bought this today?
It’s never been on my radar, in fact Ive never given one a second thought. I honestly haven’t been able to sit it down since I bought it yesterday, it’s a pretty genius design. You’d have to be completely knocked out, unconscious, or dead before someone could take it away from you!
Gonna have to find a fully serrated one now, it never ends!

Hi BenBen,,
Thanx much for the support. I've got 20+ years of refinement and development in that design. Thanx to Fred Perrin for the finger ring and Michael Janich for the Warncliffe blade shape.

Re: No idea why I bought this today?
Thank you Sal, and thanks for chiming in, everyone here always appreciates it! Looks like me and a ton of others get to benefit from three incredibly talented designers who think outside the box to come up with something as unique and useful as the Swick, so thanks again!
