Nice scales everyone the textured g10 really makes these pop.
W3tnz; sorry for being so slow answering this; I was hoping someone with actual knowledge on this may answer.

This is only my assumption and we all know what happens when we assume something.

Anyway; You are correct; the button is for sheath retention.
The button protrudes from both sides of the blade and there are matching indentations on the inside of the sheath.

It seems like it was part of a upgrade on the Spot model, the earlier models did not have the buttons. Some may have even been sold without sheathes, as the Swick is now.

Thanks Reject, that's interesting, looks like the sheath was re-designed at some stage with relief for finger hole etc.

This isn't the exact photo that I submitted for the Swick scales contest, but these are the scales I made. It was fun to come up with a way to implement the design I had in my head, though some of the epoxying of the multiple layers took a bit more work than my usual scale projects.

I made a Kydex pocket sheath for the Swick 3 that my grandparents gave me for my birthday. The Swick was bought in person at the SFO in Golden, where it was made. Cool.

Best icefishing knife ever!!! Right where you need it and never in the way. Just big enough to cut bait and gut a fish and with the finger hole it is hard to drop it on the ice and either lose it or damage it. Woot!!! Love this thing.

Thanks, A friend at work made it for me. He makes holsters as a side gig but I asked him to make this sheath for me. IF you are interested in one you can reach him through facebook. Search Texas Peace Holders. His name is Nick.
