I use to have a S&W Swat kinfe, it was a folder I used for EDC. I ended up breaking it. Not a fan personally.

I have a few S&W folders. I bought them primarily for the looks and style. The quaility is poor on some and OK on others. None would ever be said to be a high quality knife. However, the M&P model is of decent quality and operates as intended even if the look is a bit gimmicky. It has become my EDC for utility use.

Hehe..yea i'd say thats good advice

..not to mention their folders are way over priced ..there are so many better options out there even in the same price range.

I have had 2 or 3 of the S&W knives, all under $20. I used them all as EDC or backup in my bag and for the most part they served their purpose, but it could have been done better. They were cheap knives and i probably got my 10 bucks out of it, but I don't plan on making any more purchases from them. Even for cheap knives, there are better options. I've purchased a few Boker knives in the same $15 range and have been quite pleasantly surprised as to how well they've held up.

the Bad Guy isn't going to look and see what kind of knife you are about to stab him with!! The S&W knives are more novelity type pieces. I much prefer the CRKT line, especially the Crawford series, these are excellent knives. I have a few of the S&W knives that have been given to me over the years and they usually stay in the knife drawer, yes I have one too!! Also check out the Spyderco and Kershaw Speedsafe series. I have a Sog that I am not very impressed with.
