The brand new SWMP5 spring assisted knife series is big and extremely well built. This Smith & Wesson Military & Police series has an upgraded safety mechanism. The slide safety works like a charm. Made with an extremely ergonomic shape, this spring assisted knife is comfortable to hold. Comes with the MAGIC assisted openeing system, dual thumb stud opener and spine opener (which creates a nearly automatic feel to the knife), a glass breaker, and a tip down pocket clip. The SWMP5L has a grey and black handle and an all black, tactical plain edged blade. This version is by far the best yet of the bigger style SWMP MAGIC knives. Blade Length: 3.25" Overall Length: 8 3/8" Handle Length: 4 7/8" Steel: 4034 Stainless Steel Blade Style: Clip Point Blade Handle Material: Grey Aluminum with Rubber Outlay Locking Mechanism: Linerlock Side Safety and Glass Breaker Made in Taiwan Weight: 7.2 Ounces
This Smith & Wesson knife is a huge improvement over the 4 series. The 4 series was the first that came in the bigger size---which is great if you are looking for a big, beefy knife. The only drawback with the 4 series was the safety. Originally, the safety wasn't strong enough for the knife. They have rectified the situation now with a redesign, now the safety has a positive stop on the 4 series. But, the 5 series avoids the problem altogether because it uses a curved track slide safety. Really great system. It hass a positive stop in it so you know it is locked. I loved my SWMP3 that I carried for about 4 months. This SWMP5 is going to give it a run for the money. Fairly big for every day carry, but great for camping, outdoors, work, or any other arena where you need big, powerful, and durable. --Review by T
