Spydecro Swick 5 Large Fixed Blade Knife 2.73in Wharncliffe SPFB14P5

The Spyderco Swick 5 is a purpose-built fixed blade neck knife engineered for reliable personal defense and secure everyday carry. Proudly made in the USA and designed by Spyderco founder Sal Glesser, this knife reflects the innovative influence of French knifemaker Fred Perrin, known for his ergonomic and tactical designs. The Swick 5 integrates practical functionality with rugged construction, making it a dependable choice for professionals and prepared individuals alike.

At the heart of the Swick 5 is a 2.73-inch Wharncliffe blade crafted from LC200N steel—an ultra-corrosion-resistant alloy known for exceptional toughness and edge retention. The blade features a satin finish and a full-flat grind, delivering precise cutting performance in a wide range of conditions. A key highlight of this model is the large 1.03-inch index-finger hole, inspired by Perrin’s signature design. This feature locks the knife securely into the user’s grip, offering unmatched retention and control during high-stress situations.

The handle is constructed from full-tang LC200N steel with peel-ply-textured black G-10 scales, providing a secure grip even in wet or gloved conditions. Concealed internal pins add to the streamlined, low-profile construction. A pistol-grip-style design enhances ergonomics, while jimping along the spine adds traction and control for precise cutting or thrusting movements. With an overall length of 5.87 inches and a weight of just 1.9 ounces, the Swick 5 is compact, lightweight, and easy to carry discreetly.

Every Swick 5 comes with a custom-molded Boltaron sheath designed for versatile, on-body or concealed carry. The sheath includes a fully adjustable G-Clip for belt mounting and a breakaway ball chain for neck carry, giving users the flexibility to adapt the knife to their preferred setup.

Built for performance and control, the Spyderco Swick 5 is a serious tool for those who value preparedness, compact strength, and precision cutting. Whether used as a last-resort defensive option or a dependable utility blade, it offers proven design in a field-ready form.
