Smock: new style pivot
Smock: new style pivot
Had a new Smock land at my house today. It has the new style pivot. Compared to the original the screw is much larger, stands proud of the plane of the scales and has 5 "dots" around the Torx center. Not sure what to think....
Re: Smock: new style pivot
Spyderco also highlighted the new pivot on their social media pages recently.

I like it, I think it looks cool.

Re: Smock: new style pivot
Is the new pivot just aesthetic or does it serve some functional purpose?

Does make the smock look even more high end.

Re: Smock: new style pivot
As a Smock fan I have to say it has a more refined look and fitting touch for the knife . I like it enough to get an exclusive if it had this style of pivot . MG2

Re: Smock: new style pivot
Carrying my Smock today. Have to agree, I like this new pivot style much better. Had no idea they switched it up. Would that be a Spyderco decision, or Smock's?

Re: Smock: new style pivot
Is the action any better/worse from the original Smock?
Re: Smock: new style pivot
Here's your answer !
In the collection : Lots of different steels, in lots of different (and same) Spydercos.

Re: Smock: new style pivot
Sounds like current aftermarket (or factory) scales won't fit on this CQI'd version?

Re: Smock: new style pivot
Yes appears that way . Scale makers will be scrambling for new generation of scales . Smock offerings are usually as far as I know only right handed . Probably will be same . Really reminds me of Stovepipe pivot . DanBuddafucco wrote: ↑Wed Feb 28, 2024 11:31 amSounds like current aftermarket (or factory) scales won't fit on this CQI'd version?

Re: Smock: new style pivot
The new pivot was an in-house design that will be used on many future models.

Design aesthetic aside, titanium hardware makes me happy.

Re: Smock: new style pivot
On one hand I can appreciate CQI. On the other hand these rolling changes lessen the value of the pre-CQI models.
Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most!
Re: Smock: new style pivot
Yep. Now plenty will sell their old Smock to get new.
Nah, I'm good with old pivot. What would be much more desired for me is better pocket clip, mounted closer to the end of the handle, without need to buy aftermarket dc pocket clips on ali.

Re: Smock: new style pivot
Or it could actually increase the collector value because it’s the original version that is no longer being made.
For example, a collector might be willing to pay a little bit extra for a BNIB S30V PM2 or Para 3 because they’ve since been replaced by S45VN.
