Spyderco Sal Glesser Swick 5 Kneck Knife Fixed Blade

Designed by Spyderco founder Sal Glesser and inspired by the groundbreaking innovations of French knifemaker Fred Perrin, the Swick’s most distinctive feature is a Perrin-inspired index-finger hole that locks the knife into the user’s hand for superior grip security. Sized for a man’s hand, the 1.03-inch- diameter (26.1mm) hole is flanked by a full-flat-ground Wharncliffe blade and a full-tang, pistol-grip-style handle. Concealed internal pins secure a pair of peel-ply-textured G-10 scales to the tang, and a strategically placed section of jimping (textured grooves) on the spine provides a non-slip thumb ramp. Crafted from ultra-corrosion-resistant LC200 N and available in a choice of PlainEdge and SpyderEdge, the Swick 5 comes complete with a custom- molded Boltaron sheath with both a G-Clip and a breakaway ball chain.
