SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Zero Tolerance Small Galyean SMKW Custom Copper Shipwreck folding knife is an extraordinary piece of craftsmanship that stands out in any collection. This isn’t just another high-end knife—it’s a one-of-a-kind custom creation from the SMKW Custom Crew, designed to combine uncompromising performance with breathtaking artistry. At its heart is a 1.8-inch CPM 20CV stainless steel clip point blade, finished in a rugged stonewash that not only protects the steel but gives it a commanding, industrial look that demands attention. The blade’s precision grind ensures outstanding cutting performance, with a sharp, versatile tip capable of handling both everyday tasks and more refined, detailed work. With premium steel like CPM 20CV, you get unmatched edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, making this blade as functional as it is striking.
Opening the knife is an experience in itself. The KVT ball bearing pivot paired with a flipper offers near-effortless, rock-solid deployment. The framelock holds the blade securely in place, providing confidence and stability in every use. Every movement feels precise and deliberate, reflecting the meticulous attention to detail that defines both Zero Tolerance and the SMKW Custom Crew.
Where this knife truly becomes legendary is in its handle. The front scale is made from genuine copper and customized by the SMKW Custom Crew to evoke the drama of a storm-tossed sea. Every swirl, texture, and color is unique, making this piece one-of-a-kind—no two knives will ever look the same. The titanium rear handle adds strength and durability while keeping the knife perfectly balanced. A silver titanium pivot ring and an ambidextrous pocket clip complete the design, offering both practical carry and a stunning visual contrast that elevates the knife to a work of art.
Compact and lightweight at 2.95 inches closed and just 2.8 ounces, this knife packs a serious punch in a pocket-sized package. Designed by Tim Galyean and proudly made in the USA, it’s a fusion of elite materials, precision engineering, and unmatched custom artistry, making it one of the most exceptional knives available today.
