I tried a T9, it won't work, it's too large. I called the company and was advised to provide a picture of the knife and copy of my receipt, upon which they would send me a return label to return for a replacement. Other than that, I consider the knife to be high quality in all other aspects. I'm not happy, but I'm going to keep it, as what's the point of probably getting another one with the same issue","textLength":597,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":false,"autoModerated":false,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":0,"downVotes":0,"orderId":null,"dimensions":[],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"nickName":"Bob G 29","firstName":null,"lastName":null,"emailAddress":null,"externalId":null,"city":"Henderson, NY","state":null,"country":null,"ageRange":null,"badge":null,"shopperProfiles":[]},"reviewedDate":null,"purchaseDate":null,"dateCreated":"2025-09-19T00:00:00-04:00","customData":[],"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[],"syndication":{"sourceName":"Cold Steel","siteUrl":"https://www.coldsteel.com/","logoUrl":"https://images.turnto.com/site/syndicationlogos/5104_LH48.png"},"catalogItems":[{"sku":"813628-CS-FL-40AT","title":"Cold Steel Swift III M4 Folding Pocket Knife","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/813628-CS-FL-40AT","category":"hunting-knives-tools-pocket-knives","reviewCount":6,"ratingCount":6,"averageRating":4.5,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":0,"2":0,"3":1,"4":1,"5":4},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]},{"id":7364879,"locale":"en_US","rating":5,"title":"Swift 3 cold steel assisted opening folder knife","text":"Love this knife I use it daily in the field I the landscaping industry.","textLength":71,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":false,"autoModerated":false,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":0,"downVotes":0,"orderId":null,"dimensions":[],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"nickName":"Bruce W","firstName":null,"lastName":null,"emailAddress":null,"externalId":null,"city":"Lexington NC","state":null,"country":null,"ageRange":null,"badge":null,"shopperProfiles":[]},"reviewedDate":null,"purchaseDate":null,"dateCreated":"2025-09-18T00:00:00-04:00","customData":[],"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[],"syndication":{"sourceName":"Cold Steel","siteUrl":"https://www.coldsteel.com/","logoUrl":"https://images.turnto.com/site/syndicationlogos/5104_LH48.png"},"catalogItems":[{"sku":"813628-CS-FL-40AT","title":"Cold Steel Swift III M4 Folding Pocket Knife","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/813628-CS-FL-40AT","category":"hunting-knives-tools-pocket-knives","reviewCount":6,"ratingCount":6,"averageRating":4.5,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":0,"2":0,"3":1,"4":1,"5":4},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]},{"id":7364881,"locale":"en_US","rating":4,"title":"Give me some scale options please….","text":"With a great steel like CPM M4, in my opinion, it should come with, or have the option to, upgrade the scales to something better suited to giving a more reliable grip in wet conditions than G10 scales do, in almost any situation. I have a Bush Ranger Lite with GFN scales, and I don’t use it without gloves because the scales are too sharp on the hands, whereas some Micarta scales give a very strong grip in any condition, and are easy on the hands. Just a thought for some aftermarket sales so we can “upgrade” our knives and take them to more than an off the shelf piece, and customize them to suit our needs and tastes. I know that the G10 scales are “textured” for a “grippy” feel, but they’re still just G10 at the end of the day.","textLength":737,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":false,"autoModerated":false,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":0,"downVotes":0,"orderId":null,"dimensions":[],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"nickName":"El Guapo","firstName":null,"lastName":null,"emailAddress":null,"externalId":null,"city":null,"state":null,"country":null,"ageRange":null,"badge":null,"shopperProfiles":[]},"reviewedDate":null,"purchaseDate":null,"dateCreated":"2025-07-16T00:00:00-04:00","customData":[],"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[],"syndication":{"sourceName":"Cold Steel","siteUrl":"https://www.coldsteel.com/","logoUrl":"https://images.turnto.com/site/syndicationlogos/5104_LH48.png"},"catalogItems":[{"sku":"813628-CS-FL-40AT","title":"Cold Steel Swift III M4 Folding Pocket Knife","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/813628-CS-FL-40AT","category":"hunting-knives-tools-pocket-knives","reviewCount":6,"ratingCount":6,"averageRating":4.5,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":0,"2":0,"3":1,"4":1,"5":4},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]},{"id":7364880,"locale":"en_US","rating":5,"title":"The greatest folder I own (And I own A LOT)","text":"I've always dreamed about Cold Steel making a full auto and with the Swift III it's pretty much become a reality. Although not fully automatic, their assisted opener is close enough. With just a slight push on the thumb stud the blade snaps open with authority and locks up tight every time. The atlas lock is fantastic and there is ZERO blade play in any direction. Speaking of the blade, it's exactly what I've come to expect from Cold Steel, razor sharp with a needle point on it. The handle design fits perfectly in your hand and the scales are super grippy. The pocket clip is tight, but just the right amount to stay in place when you're moving around quickly, but not so tight that it's hard to draw or rips your pants pocket. Overall this is an incredible knife and an absolute home run from Cold Steel. This has now replaced my Recon One as my everyday carry, something I thought would never happen. This was also my first purchase directly from Cold Steel, and it was a great buying experience. The knife was packed well and shipped fast. I give this knife and Cold Steel my highest recommendations! If you're on the fence about buying it or doing business with Cold Steel directly fear not! It's an incredible knife and an excellent professional company. Buy it today!
