Smock Flipper
Smock Flipper
So I just received an email from BHQ, that this knife is now available for pre-order. Had it on my wishlist for a couple months. I see other people have had this on pre-order since the beginning of the year. Any ideas why it was suddenly available to me to be pre-ordered so late in the game? Does this mean it's close to being released!?

Re: Smock Flipper
I think they had a limited number of preorders. The preorder was sold out so some people either cancelled or they decided to increase the amount of pre-orders

Re: Smock Flipper
Anyone else notice that the clip configuration in this video and the mid-year catalog is different form the clip in the BladeHQ video? The BladeHQ shows a standard three scree clip, with the knife tapped for right or left tip up carry.
Re: Smock Flipper
I noticed that too. And Eric said in the video they changed a few things from the version they showed at Shot Show. If the clip was one of them this might be a must have now for me. I did not like that goofy clip on the other one at all.

Everything about this awesome knife is screaming my name. Everything except for the steel. There's nothing wrong about S30V, I know that. It's just used in soooo many :spyder: now.... they could've opted for an exotic super steel for this beauty.

Re: Smock Flipper
S30V is good enough, an exotic super steel would make it more expensive and they are probably willing to sell more
Re: Smock Flipper
I like people like you, this is why I know I'll get mine in the first batch of preorders!

Re: Smock Flipper
This one may seriously tempt me to sell my PM2 and get one. The design and blade shape is seriously appealing.

Re: Smock Flipper
I remember when Smock hit BHQ initially for preorder/down payment. The news at the time was listing the blade length at 3”. The design looked amazing, so I was quick to preorder. As the months have gone by and we’ve seen the knife in a few shows, the details have clarified to more of a 3” cutting length, closer to 3.5” blade. A little bit long for my general liking, and has dimmed my excitement slightly. But the style and features still have my attention, and I’m hoping it will easily win me over once it drops.

If it's carried in the left hand is it likely the button could be depressed accidentally?

Eric said the button won't open the blade

Re: Smock Flipper
WAIT, WHAT????
After watching some videos again, I have to ask, does pushing the button move the detent out of the way when closing? The original smock can be opened by a wrist flick with the button pressed, and closes completely with the button pushed in.
Does this require an extra push to get past the detent when closing (regardless if the button is pushed)?

Doesn't look like he is pushing the button twice, I think you can close it simply by pressing the button once and shutting the blade. He talks about the button not opening the blade around the 2:59 mark.

The entire time I watched that video, all I wanted him to do was clear his throat! Other than that, I can't wait for this unique piece to drop!! Dying for that email that my credit card is being charged.
