The Peña Knives SMKW Exclusive X Series Swayback Folding Knife delivers refined craftsmanship, premium materials, and compact everyday carry performance in a slim, elegant design. Created by master knifemaker Enrique Peña, this exclusive configuration showcases his signature clean lines and practical geometry, resulting in a lightweight folder that carries easily while still offering precise, reliable cutting performance.
The 2.8” Wharncliffe blade is crafted from Böhler M390 stainless steel and finished in a smooth satin polish that highlights its clean grind and refined profile. M390 is prized for its exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, making it a standout choice for a high-end everyday carry blade. The Wharncliffe shape enhances control and slicing efficiency, excelling at detail work, fine cuts, and general utility tasks where precision matters.
Deployment is quick and controlled with the integrated blade flipper, delivering smooth manual opening with a crisp, consistent action. Once open, the sturdy framelock secures the blade firmly in place, ensuring dependable lockup for confident use in daily cutting tasks.
The handle pairs classic materials with modern refinement. Brown Micarta scales provide a secure, textured grip that develops character over time with use, while gray titanium bolsters add strength and a clean, contemporary contrast. A stainless steel pocket clip offers secure everyday carry, and the slim profile keeps the knife comfortable and discreet in the pocket. Measuring just 3.6” closed, it’s compact enough for easy carry while still offering full performance when needed.
