Taking inspiration from the groundbreaking innovations of French knife maker Fred Perrin, Spyderco founder Sal Glesser designed the Swick as a purpose-built personal-defense tool. The Perrin-inspired index finger hole is the most iconic feature and locks the knife into the user’s hand for superior security in the hand. The Large Swick 5 is sized for a large hand with a 26 mm diameter hole, black G10 scales, and a stonewashed, plain-edged LC200N Wharncliffe blade.

LC200N: LC200N is a high nitrogen, alloyed tool steel produced using PESR (pressurized electro-slag remelting) technology delivering a pure alloy with fine micro-structure. This steel has been used in knives for some time and even longer by NASA for ball bearings. LC200N offers excellent corrosion resistance, toughness and ease of sharpening with edge retention better than other steels with comparable qualities (between AEB-L and VG10). Also sold as Cronidur 30 or Z-FiNit (Zapp Fine Grain Nitrogen steel).
