5 /5 Smock I absolutely love this thing! Probably my favorite Spyderco when it comes to fidget factor! Top that with great ergonomics and great blade steel! 10/10 would recommend!

5 /5 Spyderco Smock 20cv What a great choice of steel to go with the already amazing design of the Smock! Perfect centering and action right out of the box, and hair popping sharp! Amazing quality control.!

5 /5 The perfect smock If you like the original Spyderco Smock with s30v steel and textured g10 scales then you need this knife in your collection. The new smooth g10 is has a more expensive look and feel imo. Much more of a gentleman carry look. On top of that the 20cv steel is top of the line for American made blades. Buy with confidence from knifejoy.com

5 /5 spyderco smock I like this knife a lot. Cool scales awesome blade

5 /5 zero complaints Received as advertised, quick shipping, no issues with knife. Butter smooth and razor sharp out of the box.

5 /5 This is better than I had hoped or expected. others have said it here, and I will reiterate it. This is the sharpest knife out of the box I have ever owned. I hand sharpen my knives, and I haven't had to do anything. I stropped it on 0.5 micron diamond after marveling at the sharpness and haven't touched it since. Probably won't have to for a long time given the 20CV steel either. I personally think the shiny polished G10 is a bit classier than the CF, and I am a CF fan. This one just shines. This is my first Smock, and I am glad I bought this one. That being said... This knife is a fidgeters dream!! This is seriously one fun knife to just have in the hand. If idle hands do the devils work, then this is one angelic knife. I can't stop playing with this knife! better than regular compression lock, better than my Benchies, everything. One of the best actions of any knife I have ever tried, much less owned. oh yeah. And, don't (wink, wink) remove the 2nd detent ball because it just makes it more awesomest. classy, novel, and almost flawless in the action. oh yeah, and mine had "79" scratched into the internal frame on a side not showing. I consider it unofficial numbering. Buy one. It is the same price as the regular one. I can't recommend this enough. If you don't have to stop things or do pokey stuff with your knife, this will do 95% of your knife chores, and come back for more. Best box opener, string chopper, letter opener and eat-dirt-to-get-it-done chores too. The same price as the standard. let that sink in. Upgraded 20CV steel. Polished G10 scales. Button-engaged Compression Lock. wicked sharp and perfectly even bevel and grind lines out of the box. Action that is as smooth and easy as any banchmadem or other Compression Lock. Buy it if you are still on the fence. This little thing is swee-heet!

5 /5 Smock CPM 20CV I love this knife soo much I purchased a second one! This knife is perfect for me! I have been carrying Spyderco’s for over 14 years.

5 /5 Excellent quality This is a beautiful knife with premium steel. As with most Spyderco knives, their clips aren’t deep enough, so I purchased an aftermarket deep carry clip.

5 /5 20cv Smock This knife is absolutely awesome! I like the polished black G-10 scales more than the carbon fiber laminate and the jump from S30v to CPM 20CV is a sweet bonus. I'm glad I bought it when I did.

4 /5 Great for Fidgety Knife Owners Pro's: Comes razor sharp. 20CV blade makes this a no-brainer if considering the S30V non-knifejoy exclusive version. Fun to open/close open / close (rinse repeat). Blade travel is smooth. Con's: Ergonomics are odd. Spidey hole is subdued enough it's not as easy to open as more pronounced knives by Spyderco. Pocket carry is not ideal if you're used to deep carry clips (like Benchmade Bugout).

4 /5 Wanted to love it... I was hoping that this knife would be a little more left-friendly. On paper, it IS. That button should work just as well in either hand, as should that flipper on the corner (Genius!) but in use I found it to be consistently a little painful to openclose openclose openclose in quick succession. Not BAD pain, but annoying, and certainly not a pleasure. Which is a shame because I have wanted this knife since Spyderco first teased it, and then didn't release it for, what? like a year and a half? LOVE the look of it. And then Knifejoy goes ahead and upgrade sthe steel AND smooth g10 for the same price?! Yes please. This just goes to show that a person can love the looks of a knife, and the materials, and the blade shape, and everything about it BUT in hand it's just not a pleasure. Which is a surprise to me because that is what I'm chiefly hearing from other people is that it's a fidget knife, it's fun to play with. And unfortunately I did not find it to be so. This is a well-made beautiful knife, and I understand why everyone loves it. It's just not for me.

4 /5 Spyderco Smock Exclusive G10 scales & CPM-20CV Blade Great knife all round, fun fidget factor, excellent steel, easy to hold/use, 4 stars because of pocket clip, could/should have been deep carry.

5 /5 Spyderco Smock in CPM 20CV An excellent upgrade from one of my favorite Spyderco knives! The 20CV is wonderful, fit and finish is near perfection, and the smooth g10 scales feel like what I can only describe as premium. Gifted my old Smock to another collector and this one has been in my pocket since it arrived.

5 /5 Surprise surprise Bought 2 smocks, sold 2 smocks. I'm talking about the s30v cf laminate version. This might be a keeper. Because I can't stop thinking about it until I finally gave in.

4 /5 Beautiful version of the Smock This knife is as amazing as the other reviews say it is. I have to take a star off because mine has a very blotchy, uneven finish on the show side. If it was a hard user it wouldn't bother me at all, but I bought this as a Sunday go to meetin' knife. I may buy another and hope it's better and use this one to customize. It's a great knife.

5 /5 knife best knife. EVER!

5 /5 Smock Excellent sprint run. Well worth it.Excellent supplier.

5 /5 Spectacular Super impressed with this Smock exclusive. Everything is perfect, centering, grind, quality, attention to detail, everything. Love it and Knifejoy was super quick in getting this out to me. My first purchase with Knifejoy and it won't be my last!

5 /5 Respect to knifejoy First, I would like to thank Knifejoy for their excellent customer service and super fast shipping (2 days) This was my first time doing business with them, and I couldn't be more satisfied. I will definitely be doing more business with them. Second, buying this knife is a no brainer. 20cv steel with smooth black G10 vs peel ply s30v for the same price.. The steel is a HUGE upgrade alone, and considering Kevin Smock is selling basically the same black G10 scales for $80... This really is gem, especially for the price. Dont sleep on this one. The Smock is an excellent daily driver, you wont be disappointed

5 /5 Tuxedo Grade Smock Outstanding, KnifeJoy and Spyderco!!! Materials, fit, finish, centering, lockup, drop shut release, grind symmetry, and factory edge all exceed my expectations at the price point.

5 /5 Nice fidget folding knife Excellent quality and fun folding knife.

5 /5 Smock 20cv This is the sharpest knife out of the box I’ve ever had. After using it at work I could split a free hanging hair. Size and weight are perfect for EDC carry. I’m very happy with my purchase.

5 /5 Smock 20cv Super fast shipping! I picked the free shipping option too. Ordered Saturday morning and it was in my hands on monday. I knew I'd like this knife. I ordered it because of the upgraded steel. I was unsure how I'd like the handles because I normally prefer an aggressive gripping surface, but I do enjoy the ease the smooth g10 allows this knife to slide in and out of my pocket. Super sharp out of the box and a pleasure to fiddle around with. I've already got a few sideways looks from my wife while playing around with this thing. Awesome exclusive. Thanks knifejoy!

5 /5 Nice Not much to say 5/5. First purchase from Knifejoy, they are a quality group. As for the knife, I have alot of great knives, the smock in the configuration is amazing. Very impressed.

5 /5 Outstanding Spyderco Exclusive What a find! I only purchase exclusive and sprint run Spydercos these days, but I always wanted to pull the trigger on getting a Smock. The S30 steel was the only thing that held me back. With 20CV steel, I could not resist, and I am thrilled with my new acquisition! The unique flipper tab allows the blade to flip with authority, using an index finger. The button compression lock works as expected, and breaks-in after a day of fidgeting with this addictive toy. My biggest surprise was the upgraded handle scale on this exclusive. They are polished G-10 which are very solid.... a feel like slightly grippy marble. This exclusive far outweighs my expectations, and though it is an exclusive... it just became my daily carry.

5 /5 Smock 20cv Weight and action are fantastic. This knife is the ultimate fidget device. So many ways to open it. I prefer the weight over the carbon fiber. The polished g10 is very classy. Good job knifejoy and spyderco!

5 /5 Frickin Love it!!! What an awesome idea for an exclusive! This this is just amazing. The smooth black g10 scales give it a classy and sleek look and the action is perfect. Love the push button compression lock. It is gonna get some serious pocket time.

3 /5 Smock 20cv Fast shipping but my sample was not what I expected from a exclusive. Clip side g10 along the spine doesn't matchup. It was very gritty out of the box, put a couple of drops of oil in pivot and detent still gritty after a couple of days opening and closing. Finally pulled the show side off and when I lifted the bearing off the pivot one of the balls fell out of the race. I replaced it which helped some. Spyderco won't send out a replacement rather they want me to send in the knife which is ridiculous to pay shipping and be without a brand new knife for atleast two weeks for a two minute fix.

5 /5 Exclusive Spyderco Smock Excellent knife! Fast shipping! Recommend Knifejoy 100%

5 /5 Best version of the Smock! I had the original and loved the design, but didn't really dig the S30v, so I ended up selling it. Now this one, this is how it should have been made from the start. The smooth G10 with the 20CV is fantastic! This will live in my pocket for the coming months for sure!

5 /5 20cv Smock...Spectacular!! Completely blow away and impressed by this model and materials used. Bravo, Spyderco and Knifejoy for another perfectly executed product release.

5 /5 Practical Smock While many Spyderco sprint runs and dealer exclusive make use of handles of different colors, the lowest common denominator is Black, and Black G-10 is the clear leader. When clipped to the inside of a pocket, dye from blue jeans will not discolor Black G-10. In other words, KnifeJoy was wise to go with Black G-10 for their exclusive Smock, and the smooth variety makes it that much more pocket-friendly. Now, where this particular Smock shines is its premium CPM 20CV blade steel. Its blade contour is outstanding, but that also applies to the standard version. I am so glad that I ordered two of them. I now need a leather belt sheath for it.

5 /5 Incredible. When I first saw this knife, I loved the blade shape, slim profile (kinda has a bit of Benchmade 940 look to me), top flipper tan, and the button-activated compression lock... but the combo of s30v steel and the peel ply carbon fiber didn’t do much for me... so I passed... and I’m so glad I did. This knifejoy exclusive is absolutely amazing! Excellent blade steel, grinds, fit and finish... one of the sharpest out-of-the-box Spydercos I’ve ever handled! The ball bearings paired with the top flipper tab make for a quick, smooth deployment. The smooth G10 scales won’t eat up your pockets... don’t sleep on this knife! Thank you for making this variation available Knifejoy!!

5 /5 20cv smock is fire! I just got mine in today and it’s razor sharp!! Loved my first smock in s30v so I knew I had to have this one, may even pick up another or 2!

5 /5 The smock we all really wanted You guys knocked this one out of the park! An improved steel over the basic model, and the G10 actually feels great! I was here preparing to switch out to some micarta scales when it arrived but I’m leaving it alone. This is a very nice piece. I wanted to give others a chance but I’m strongly considering buying a second as backup!
