Now with Pics!
I’ve been scheming off and on for months about the idea of a folding Swick, and how cool that would be. We’ve all seen how sweet Spyderco fixed blades (Temperance, Ronin, Shivworks Disciple) have been reborn as even cooler Clipits (Lil Temp, Yojimbo, Pikal.)
What I’d like to see then is a folding Swick. I envisioned the knife looking kind of like an Orgy between the Swick, the Yojimbo, and the P’kal. In other words, a
-3” Wharnie blade (similar to the Yo, but slightly longer)
- Forward canted Blade (like the Swick, Ayoob, and Khurki)
-Deep choil, lock in grip G10 Handle ( Yojimbo-Dodo hybrid)
-Removable wave post (just like Pkal)
-Comp Lock (Yojimbo)
-Wire clip (P’kal)
Blended together, I think that the Folding Swick would be one of the most practical EDC/ SD knives that Spyderco has ever produced. It would have the slicing power of the Yojimbo; the intuitive, claw like cutting of the Swick; the speed of the Pkal; and most of the grip security of the original Swick.
In short, the Folding Swick would be a very intuitive, versatile, and unique folder.
It would be as well suited to cutting out an article in a magazine as it would be at cutting yourself out of a life-threatening situation. And frankly, that’s what I’m looking for in an EDC.
What does everyone think?
