After using the S&W SWAT for a while, I can't say I'm all that impressed with it. The blade doesn't really hold an edge as well as I would like despite regular sharpening when it gets dull. I'm going to ask for a Spyderco Police model for my birthday next month. I've heard really good things about it, especially given the price relative to the other stuff out there.
In regards to Moonduck's statements, I disagree. Some people may buy knives purely for the craftsmanship, while others will buy what they feel is necessary. For some that's a $50 folder from Wal*Mart, for others it's something else. I personally feel something along the lines of a Spyderco or Benchmade is of sufficient quality, and since I know Spydercos better I'm going to get one. I'll be picking up the Police model mostly because of my size; I'm 6'10" and my hands are pretty large, so a small knife simply won't fit very well.
