Designed to Stand Apart
The Smock is one of the most distinctive folding knives in Spyderco’s modern line-up, combining the inventive design language of acclaimed custom knifemaker Kevin Smock with the proven engineering of a premium production folder. Based on Smock’s highly sought-after SK23 custom design, this exclusive variant elevates the platform further with a CPM-4V blade and stealthy blacked-out hardware. Released as part of a highly anticipated limited drop, these knives were met with significant demand and have since sold out, cementing their status as one of the more desirable modern Smock exclusives for both collectors and enthusiasts.
This example is in pristine, as new condition. Complete with original box and papers.

A Modern Smock Exclusive
The hollow-ground blade is precision machined from CPM-4V tool steel, a performance-focused alloy renowned for its toughness and edge stability. It features both Spyderco’s Trademark Round Hole and a discreet flipper tab, with exceptionally smooth deployment provided by ball-bearing pivot washers and a dedicated secondary detent system. The skeletonised handle pairs textured G-10 scales with TiCN-coated stainless steel liners in an open-backed construction that balances strength with reduced weight. A reversible tip-up pocket clip ensures fully ambidextrous carry, while the knife’s signature Compression Lock is enhanced by a button-style release, allowing safe and effortless one-handed closing without placing fingers near the blade path. Innovative, highly functional and increasingly difficult to find, this exclusive Smock represents one of the most sought-after interpretations of Kevin Smock’s iconic design.
