SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Spyderco Smock Distributor Exclusive Gray takes everything users love about the original Smock and refines it with upgraded materials, smart design enhancements, and an exclusive finish that sets it apart in any everyday carry lineup. This manual folder is the result of a unique collaboration between Spyderco and custom knifemaker Kevin Smock, delivering precision engineering and stylish performance in a sleek, highly capable package.
At the core of this exclusive model is a 3.45-inch sheepsfoot blade crafted from CPM CruWear tool steel, one of the toughest and most wear-resistant steels available. Known for excellent edge retention and resilience under pressure, CruWear makes this knife ready for real-world work, from slicing and scoring to detailed utility tasks. The satin finish highlights the blade’s clean lines and premium grind while resisting fingerprints and wear over time. With its sheepsfoot profile, this blade offers controlled, versatile cutting, and Spyderco’s signature round thumb hole ensures smooth, ambidextrous manual deployment every time.
What makes the Smock truly unique is its button-operated compression lock—an innovation that blends mechanical cleverness with practical safety. The lock allows for easy one-handed closing without putting your fingers in the blade’s path, delivering a smooth, confident user experience. Once open, the blade locks solidly in place, giving you reliability and peace of mind in every cut.
The gray aluminum handle is lightweight yet tough, contoured for a secure grip, and now enhanced with weight-reducing cutouts that add visual interest while trimming excess ounces. At just 4.02 ounces, the Smock feels solid in hand without being cumbersome in the pocket. Its streamlined profile, paired with thoughtful ergonomics, makes it a pleasure to carry and use day in and day out. Whether you're opening boxes, working in the shop, or prepping for the trail, this knife is up to the task.
Designed for versatility, the Smock features a reversible tip-up pocket clip that supports both right- and left-hand carry, along with a lanyard hole for extra carry options. When closed, it measures 4.5 inches—compact enough for discreet carry—yet opens to a full 7.95 inches overall, giving you plenty of cutting edge when it counts. The .11-inch blade thickness strikes a balance between slicing precision and dependable strength, ideal for a wide range of everyday applications.
This special edition is available at the world’s largest knife store, Smoky Mountain Knife Works. Known for offering high-performance blades and hard-to-find exclusives, SMKW brings this Smock model to serious knife users and collectors alike. As part of the best online knife store’s elite catalog, this folder blends modern innovation with reliable function in a way only Spyderco and Kevin Smock can deliver.
