So I'll admit...I'm easily influenced by hot women selling knives. When I saw Swaggs first make it into designing her own knife, the CJRB Maileah, I was first in line to grab one.
The usual "I support her because she's hot" slowly turned into "she's a great figure in the knife community and I want to see her grow". If you watch her videos, you'll agree with me.
What were we talking about here? A knife?
Just picked up this micarta 154CM Swaggs Swayback button lock and first impression was (the same as the maileah)..its "ok". Action is ok, ergonomics is good, pretty sharp like most Kizers.

When I placed it next to my other knives, its got a pretty distinctive (almost pleasant like nice butts) shape and a different feel about it. That's when I realized, maybe this is the kind of knives we need right now, something "different".

Next to the only two I had around.
Flat ground, very good placement of jimping. Handle shape is pretty good with no hotspots for my hands. The button is a little sticky but I think it'll wear in. This is a surprisingly thick (thicc?) Knife, due to the thicker micarta scales, not sure if the G10 ones are thinner. Liners are skeletonized, the knife has great fit and finish and reminds me of a more comfortable Finch Holliday.

Feels chunky in the pocket and does not have deep carry. I cut some cardboard with it and it goes through pretty well. The tip is ground very thin and pokey.

I think that's most of what I wanted to say about it. Its 59$ for button lock micarta and 154CM which is a pretty tremendous deal. Swaggs is doing good and I think this is a good step forward from the Maileah. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for reading this mess, cheers.
Edit: Annnd I realized in all my excitement I posted this in the wrong section AND made a dup by accident...sorry mods it's supposed to go to knife review...
