About the Swick3:
The original Swick was developed for fast deployment, lightweight carry, and an incredibly secure ergonomic grip. The new Swick3 is the result of Spyderco’s Constant Quality Improvement (C.Q.I.) process and provides an outstanding grip while offering even greater versatility and strength. Designed by Sal Glesser, the Swick series features a large index-finger hole—a feature developed 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 Swick3’s enhanced finger-hole design is larger and is complemented by jimping on the adjacent top and bottom surfaces of the tang. These refined ergonomics make the Swick3 even more versatile and secure during use.

The Swick3 is crafted from a solid piece of premium CPM S30V steel and is skeletonized to reduce weight without sacrificing strength. The blade features a full-flat-ground wharncliffe profile and a handsome tumbled finish. Although it is perfectly functional as is, the Swick3 now features pin holes for easy attachment of handle scales or paracord wrap. It is purposely sold without a sheath or scales to allow you to customize it to meet your personal needs. Made in the USA from premium US materials, the Swick3 proudly features Spyderco’s Trademark Round Hole.

Sounds like I may have to finally get a Swick! The price is certainly right.

What exactly is the difference between this model and the first Swick? I don't see any differences in the description.

Maybe I am missing it.

Original didn't have the jimping mentioned in this description, it says the index finger hole is bigger, it says there will be pin holes to make attaching scales easier, and it says the ergos changed.

That said, a pic would be nice :)

Good news to hear this is coming out!

Kristi, will this be Wednesday 10/23/13 or Tuesday 10/22/2013?


Or is my spyderco calendar broken and in need of warranty repair? :D

[Jazz]

No sheath. Really?

[Pockets]

I'm pretty excited about the price. I will definitely try to pick up one of these.

[phaust]

No sheath. Really?

Has any Swick come with a sheath?

No

[Creepo]

Is this like the previous Swick1 with minor improvements? So blade length for example is the same?

[araneae]

No sheath. Really?

They haven't come with them, but Scott Gere made me a really nice one for my Swick.

[araneae]

Also, Taz its not nice to tease us without a pic of the knife... :p

[BadFish]

Any official date I'm definitely gonna scrape up 60 for this

[Holland]

great price! not my cup of tea however

[Jazz]

Are y'all sure? I remember ads in mags with the Swick and neck sheath. A lot of people don't make sheaths, so how's this good for sales? Just wondering. I guess it's just for those skilled with Kydex, etc., or those with connections.

[BadFish]

Sheath or not at that price I'll have someone make one on the forums. It will give me a chance to expirence someone else's craftsmanship. Anyone have any suggestions

[twinboysdad]

honestly, good kydex ain't that expensive and most guys who seriously carry fixed get custom for the quality and options. I very shortly owned an Emerson La Griffe and as great as it is, and the kydex fit great, I am not gonna neck carry and would have needed a g clip to IWB carry.


Oh and write this kid down for 1 Swick please

"...It is purposely sold without a sheath or scales to allow you to customize it to meet your personal needs."

That pretty well sums it up. Kind of like a Mule, in that regard. Being able to customize the handle without having to mod it would be cool. I'm thinking something in C-tek would look attractive. :)

[gbelleh]

Is there a picture of this version anywhere?

[TazKristi]

Kristi, will this be Wednesday 10/23/13 or Tuesday 10/22/2013?


Or is my spyderco calendar broken and in need of warranty repair? :D

Although we do have something called "Spyderco Time" your calendar is correct. The correct day for the Swick3 to go live is Tuesday 22-Oct-2013 (original post edited). :) Sorry guys I'm on the road and days blend a little. No pic yet, but as soon as one becomes available we'll add it.
