Based on custom knifemaker Kevin Smock’s popular SK23, the Spyderco Smock translates his innovative style into a premium-quality production folder. Its hollow-ground blade is precision machined from CPM® S30V® stainless steel and includes both a Trademark Round Hole and an elegantly understated flipper opener. It is paired with a skeletonized handle featuring full stainless steel liners, textured carbon fiber/G-10 laminate scales, lightweight, open-backed construction, and a left/right, tip-up pocket clip. The Smock’s most unique feature, however, is the button release on its high-strength Compression Lock® mechanism, which allows the knife to be safely and easily closed without placing your fingers near the blade’s edge.
