Anyone who carries a concealed weapon knows the problem. You can't always reach your primary firearm in a close-quarters situation. Distances can shorten real quick. You need a backup tool that stays hidden until the moment you have to move. The Upswarm steps into that gap. It is a compact self-defense knife built for deep concealment. The whole package measures seven and a half inches. It takes up almost no space on a belt.
The Upswarm is a carefully designed solution for the worst-case scenario. While we agree that the best response to a scenario involving edged weapons is de-escalation and seeking any other means of avoidance, this is a luxury some don't have. In a perfect world, this tool wouldn't be necessary. Sadly, that world doesn't exist, and people need tools to protect themselves, especially LEOs and military personnel.
