hak v swick

[Dijos]

what are your thoughts? they're practically the same price.

I know that the Hideaway knife is a great if somewhat specialized knife but what is a swik?

based on the handle sizes, the HAK is better suited for concealment & last-ditch self-defense, while the Swik can serve a more "utility" function while offering less concealability.

The Swick looks much more comfortable.

The Swick looks much more comfortable.

I have 3 HAKs and while they are never my primary blade, I would have no problem using one all day for decent use. A simple design is not necessarily bad ergonomically. You really gotta try one to appreciate how well they lock into place in your hand. Especially with a layer or 2 of cord wrapping.

HAK's are extremely comfortable. I have 3. One is with me every day at work.
