The Spyderco Smock translates Kevin Smock's innovative style into a premium-quality production folder.The hollow-ground blade of this knife is precision machined from CPM S30V stainless steel and includes both a Trademark Round Hole and an elegantly understated flipper opener. The flipper action is supported by a pair of special ball-bearing pivot washers and a dedicated secondary detent mechanism separate from the knife's lock. 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 reversible, tip-up pocket clip for ambidextrous carry.The Smocks most unique feature 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 blades edge.
