These tend to get back in stock rather quickly I've noticed. A nice variety here.

Did you get yours already? Post some pictures if you did please!

Knifejoy claims that this was suppose to be a worker version but I don’t understand why they went with smooth G10 and not textured. Makes me want to go out and buy some micarta scales now.
Maybe a white collar worker.

Thanks the pics!

Not a fan of the smooth g10 so I just ordered some black canvas micarta scales for mine.
Agreed, I had no idea it was going to be such a polished finish. Where’d you find the black canvas? I’ve got Putman’s green canvas on my S30V model and would love a different color for this one.
This is where I ordered them from: https://www.rcbladeworks.com/
He says it’s a 1-4 week lead time (more like a week but just coving his bases) and I’m willing to wait.

Oh no...so many options and for the Manix too! This might be trouble, thank you!

I actually like the look of those smooth scales on the Smock. But how much better would they have looked in dark green...burgundy...sigh.

"This innovative folder features a CPM-20CV steel wharncliffe blade and a sleek black G-10 handle." That was the only thing about the handle in the description that i saw. Sleek

I'm by no means trying to knock them as a business, as I've never bought from them, but I wonder if they saw a lot of the gripe from people regarding the smooth G10 on the KC exclusives, and decided not to call it that in their description...as well as the stock photo lighting making it difficult to distinguish smooth from regular?

I knew it was smooth from the pictures, but maybe others weren't so fortunate? I think the smooth g-10 makes it unique.

the action on mine sounds gritty, both opening and closing.
is this the bearings or the detent that needs to break in?

Now that I know it is smooth, I kind of like it. Soooo easy on the pocket!

It seems like a lot of Spydie fans are passing on this one. They are still currently in stock. I don't own a Smock or a Spyderco in 20cv so I just snagged one. My wife paid for it as an early birthday present...Bonus!😁

I usually miss these exclusives/sprints when they drop so I'm excited to get my hands on this one!

That G-10 looks cool! It’s slick, sleek, smooth, glossy and polished! It most resembles the G-10 also from the Taichung factory on the Vallotton and Hungarian.

I'm actually a fan of smooth G10 so ordered one as my first Smock. The Cru-Wear with smooth G10 Para3 is one of my favorites.

I'm a fan of smooth G-10 too. I think I'd like to get some of the sharpdressed shred scales for the smock (if they come back into stock) but I'll probably just run with the smooth g-10 for now.

The owner of this company is an old co worker + buddy of mine. Stand up guy. He makes a great product, highly recommended. Nice to see his business doing well after we were all laid off. He had a vision, started a new career. American dream.

Just came in today! Super smooth action and sharp! I must admit I do like the smooth G10 on it. Really makes it out to be a nice piece. I’m second-guessing my micarta scale order.
