SHOP CASE KNIVESSmith & Wesson Small Black Ops Folding Knife – Compact Power with Tactical Precision
Born from the long-standing Taylor Brands lineage, the Smith & Wesson Small Black Ops Knife carries forward the trusted legacy of performance-driven design. Created to meet the demands of law enforcement, military professionals, and serious everyday carriers, the Black Ops series was built around rapid deployment, rugged materials, and compact control. The “Small” variant isn’t a stripped-down version — it’s a precision-focused evolution of the full-size model, refined for minimal carry without compromising on strength or versatility.
At the heart of the Small Black Ops Knife is a 2.6-inch drop-point blade forged from 4034 stainless steel. The blade features a partially serrated edge, making it ideal for cutting through fibrous materials like rope, webbing, or cord while maintaining a clean slicing surface for detail tasks. Finished in a stealthy black Teflon coating, the blade resists glare and corrosion, reinforcing its tactical utility.
Quick access in critical moments is where this knife shines. Equipped with Smith & Wesson’s proprietary M.A.G.I.C. assisted-opening system, users can deploy the blade effortlessly with either the ambidextrous flipper tab or dual thumb studs. A reliable liner lock secures the blade during use, while a slide safety adds an extra layer of confidence during carry or when stowed.
The handle is constructed from black matte-anodized aluminum over sturdy steel liners, offering both durability and a sleek, low-reflection finish. Subtle jimping along the spine enhances grip control, while the contoured handle shape fits naturally in hand, even in wet or gloved conditions. A tip-down pocket clip allows for discreet carry, and the integrated lanyard hole offers additional options for retention or quick deployment from a pack or vest.
Despite its solid feel, the knife weighs just 2.25 ounces and measures only 3.3 inches when closed, making it an ideal choice for those who demand performance without bulk. Whether you're responding to a call, hiking a backcountry trail, or handling daily urban tasks, the Smith & Wesson Small Black Ops is built to perform.
