Ok. Just seeing this post. You rock Dude!

Waited a long time to get me a Smock. Great knife. PM2 is still the folder I want for the Zombie Apocalypse, but that Smock does get a lock of pocket time. Scales are way nicer then I thought they would be. Love the flipper!

Loving the smock, may get one some day! Thanks for all the info on it, I feel enlightened

[Pourage_art]

Just bought mine! But I guess that the smocks made before 2024 have a different sized pivot so most aftermarket scales are for the older version with a smaller pivot. (I'm getting the newer version.) Maybe if I buy new hardware for the old version I can use them with the older scales? This part of the journey is fun for me though, I'll figure something out.

I've got 3 of these suckers... I wish that they put the wire clip on this model.

Ordered a Tempest Pinion last night! I'm stoked.

[clavididk]

I need one I'm waiting for a sprint run but I may end up getting the s30v version.

Amazing knife!!! Smock has my favorite looking blade of all time!

Hey are all PM2's compression locks?

[marccohen]

I love my Smock that I to put compass Titanium scales on.

Got to change the scales on my smock..2 other Spyderco’s they have hollow grinds are my swayback, and there’s an old school manix 2 that’s got a hollow . But you’re right, not many 9:45

Best movement of all my knives.. My friend has just about every popular folder, none of them come close to the smooth crisp opening of the Smock. I purchased mine from DNA lasering with titanium scales installed, absolutely first rate craftsmanship.

If you guys want a PM2 or Para 3 with a buttoned compression lock just like the smock... you should go check out Blades We Love PM2 Ultra and Para 3 Ultra. Such a great idea, and they executed it perfectly. They have a lot of different flavors too. Makes the knives much more fidgety and ambidextrous friendly. Unlocking the compression lock can be an annoyance for leftys, and having the convenience of a button lock with the crisp detent and strength of a compression lock is always always a win in my book

I had to grind off that finger choil point. Didn’t want to cut my finger.

Cormorant 2 vs Smock would be cool. I almost just bought that exact one. Which do you like more?

Good review of what IS ....I agree...an innovative knife. ARare for Spyderco. They seem to like to rest on their laurels. And don't offer kives with CF scales. Odd. Nor aluminum...that I'm aware of. With the innovation and CF scales this knife is actually not a bad deal. Even if it does only come with a S30V blade. Would like to see it offered in other steels...e.g. 200cv, CruWear, S34v or S110v....

Would have liked to have known the 'behind the cutting edge thickness" of the PM2..heard it's pretty thin...wondered if it compared....

[TheMinidoo]

A liner lock just sit on the tang of the blade. Compression lock has a notch in the blade tang so the "liner" Can fit inside that notch.

[gabeharlan]

Did you get the regular lynch spyderco deep carry clip, or the one specifically for the spyderco smock?

[GatorNick]

Currently trying to decide whether to get the smock or the manix 2 XL....

[stevemastbaum]

I’ve heard some people convert left handed compression locks to a button lock.

[cvltzilla]

if you like the Smock you'd love Ikuchi
