CRKT Swindle, thoughts?
Was think about picking this up from Amazon for $43. I like the backwards bend it has. Seems like it would be nice for cutting things. Looks sharp. Designed by Ken Onion.

Well I bought it. Needed a little treat for myself. $43 plus tax seemed like a good value, especially since I added $100 to Amazon gift card and got a bonus $10 so it was $33.

I have one. I have not spent much time in the knife forum for a while. I like it. It fits in some of my shirt pen pockets. The clip, makes it look like a pen. It is one of the knives i carry when pocket space is at a premium.

I don't like it, I am going to send it back if possible. I rather a thumb stud. My biggest complaint is the way the blade locks in place. My other knives with the frame acting as the lock the piece of the frame/grips that locks the blade open goes to the middle of the tang this thing looks like it's only partially under the tang. If you don't flip the blade out quickly it doesn't engage. I doubt there is anything wrong with it, but I just prefer something different. It's really nice looking and feels great in my hand. Definitely lots of positives.

Knives are a very personal item what fits and feels f=good to one any=ther hates it.
Carpenters have the same feelings towards hammers.

Late to the party, but I actually have two of them. My first one was a "first run production" knife, and I somehow lost/misplaced it. I ordered another, and right after in arrived, I found the first one under the bed.... Roll Eyes
Anyway, my thoughts are, I like the blade, and shape, and it seemed to hold a pretty good edge, but I just really didn't like the clip. They now reside on the top of my dresser, with other seldom used knives... it was my first flipper knife, though.

Love flippers....
